Because who doesn't wear boots with their swimsuit to play outside nowhere near water.




I can't figure out if he is going to be a thumb sucker (or fingers in this case) or a pacifier kind of baby. He goes back and forth and finds comfort in either place.

12 weeks!!

Oh my goodness! Little man is already 12 weeks old! He is such a joy and I feel blessed to be his mama.

Play time

Abby loves to make Cooper laugh :)

Strawberry picking

We went strawberry picking with our friends. I was so excited to go because the last time we went, we got a ton of strawberries and it was a lot of fun. This time, not so much fun. The berries were small and hard to find and it was hot. Really hot and humid. Add carrying Cooper in a sling and it was even hotter. We only got a pound of strawberries but the girls seemed to enjoy themselves and the ice cream snack afterwards so that is what really matters.



I wasn't able to manage my camera and Cooper in his sling so I had to wait until we got home to snap some photos. Abby was already gone for a horse riding party so Mckenzie was the lucky one that got to pose for a photo ;)

Pool time

It is so hot that I decided to bring out the pool for the kiddos. They had a blast playing with their friends in it. I feel bad that we don't have a real pool for them, but when I see how much fun they have with this one, I realize it doesn't matter.

Sibling love

The girls just can't get enough of their brother. They love to take turns entertaining him when his is on the floor. They also like to fight about who gets to entertain him and how they get to entertain him and how long they get to entertain him, but I am focusing on the fact they love their brother so much they want to spend lots of time with him :)

Happy birthday to my Mom! Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. Love ya!

Storybook Land

Today was our annual trip to Storybook Land with our preschool. Our fourth and final trip. It is a great little amusement park perfect for the little ones. I let Abby skip school and come along. Boy was she excited about that! I have to say that I am pretty proud of myself for getting all of us ready to the park on time. In fact, we were the first ones there from our school. Unheard of for me, especially these days with an infant. It was hot and humid, but the girls had a blast. Mckenzie loved hanging with her friends and Abby loved the roller coaster. Cooper didn't enjoy himself much, but he did tolerate the heat as best he could. I am so glad I didn't chicken out and stay home but I would have been very sad for the girls to miss out on this.

Summer is here

I enjoyed a tasty caramel iced Frappuccino today. A sure sign that summer is here :)

11 Weeks

Little man is 11 weeks old already. He is getting much better at sitting up when I prop him against the bear.

Mckenzie started summer camp at her preschool. I think this will be a great way for her to spend a lot of time with her friends before we move.

Memorial Day

The girls were off from school today so we just hung out at home. I thought about taking the kids to a local parade, but it was pretty warm out and Cooper doesn't do so well in the heat yet.

The kids in Abby's class made posters for the military for Memorial Day. I thought it was a very sweet gesture.
