Baby Tooth Number 2


Nathan's teeth are falling out like crazy!!!!!

Swamp Boys








I thought since it was so nice yesterday that the boys would love going outside to play.  Unfortunately there is a part of our backyard that gets very swampy when it rains.   So within 15 minutes all the ride on toys were wrecked in the swamp and needed a tow truck.  As you can see it was pretty deep and halfway up the boys shins.  They had fun and the washer took care of the mess.  Oh the joys of being a boy mamma!

Coon Skin Hat




Alright most people that know our family know that Mark is insane about hungting.  And I know my oldest is already tainted with the same insanity.  But now Nathan is trying to corrupt Cooper.  Note the pretend hunting rifle in the one picture....

Trying out Daddy's Hat


All the boys love wearing Daddy's hats (and sometimes my shoes) so we decided to start Cooper out early....

Gabe in a box....

Brotherly Love

Nathan loves his baby brother...I need to get as many pictures of this as I can...they grow to fast (and eventually they will be kicking the you know what out of each other)

Let it snow!






The boys loved the snow this weekend!!!! It was a little too cold for Cooper to venture out, but hopefully the next snow he can get out and play with the big boys.

The Jumper...


When the big boys are getting their baths, Cooper hangs out in the jumper.  The first picture is his before bath picture all happy and ready to jump.   The second is after his bath....knocked out!

Protection....

The boys love watching Scooby Doo!  There was a new one on the On Demand.  It was a little scarier than usual (scary vampires) so we needed to build a fort to protect them....love the look on Gabe's face...

Baby Fight Club

Well after two weeks of daycare, the things Cooper has brought home are interesting...a very bad cough that sounds like he smokes 3 packs a day.  And the worse....between him scratching his face (cheek), another baby scratching his forehead, and then another frustrated baby biting his forehead...he looks like he goes to UFC cage matches during the day instead of daycare....I got pictures of the two scratches but missed the bite mark....

So tired....

Apparently getting your diaper changed is very tiring....

4 Month Appointment...our little peanut

Cooper had his 4 month appointment this week....he is doing well according to the doctor.  He weighs 13 pound and 13 ounces (20th percentile) and he is 23 and 1/2 inches (2nd percentile-no wonder he is still in 0-3 month clothes)

Winter Gala

Later in the week Gabe and Cooper had their Winter Gala at day care.  Cooper was a very convincing snow flake..

Gabe mugging for Daddy

Gabe put his own head dress for the Muffin Man song ...upside down and backwards..

Realizing that his favorite big brother was there to see him sing.

Chubby little legs

When we play on the floor if Cooper doesn'y have your complete attention he kicks like crazy....then the chubby little legs come out.

Church Christmas Play

Last Sunday the boys had there church Christmas play.  Nathan was a wise man, but Mark thinks he is better labeled as something that is wise...



Gabe played (sort of) in the preschool rhythm band.

Four Months Old!!!!!


Happy Four Month Birthday Baby Cooper!!!!

Bumbo Chair

Gabe in the bumbo chair 2/14/2009....

Gabe in the Bumbo 1/6/12....I think he out grew it....

Pet Duck

Every year Mark goes to a family friends surplus outdoor sale, this year Nathan wanted to go.  I thought he would have fun looking at all of the stuff.  Imagine my surprise when i see what he talked his father into buying him.  It is his new pet duck...at least I don't need to feed it.

All Aboard

Gabe's favorite past time...making super long trains...he is just like his grandfather!

My First Mickey


Cooper just loves his first Mickey from Aunt JoJo...

First Day Back At Work


It was so sad to leave these three on the 3rd.  Cooper did awesome at school for his first week.

Gettin Ink


Poppy bought the boys some tatoos.  So they had the great idea of giving one to Cooper...he looks bad a$$ doesn't he?
