One morning we went to my mom and dad's house to swim and our friends Ashlynn and Hunter (and their moms) came with us. Here are the kids eating lunch after swimming.
This is a funny story. Lots of mornings while Ryan is getting ready for work, Cooper asks if he can go with to work. Ryan didn't think much of it this day and said "sure." We forget how literal Cooper is! So Cooper immediately ran and got an outfit out of his closet, then ran to our closet and grabbed a sock of Ryan's off the floor. He tried to put on the outfit and sock telling me he was getting ready to go to work. Then he kept saying "bye mom, I'm going to work!" "bye mom, I'm going with daddy!" I started to get kind of worried because he REALLY thought he was going to work with Ryan, and Ryan was starting to feel really bad too. So I kept saying how sad I would be if he left and I'd be here all alone, blah blah blah. Eventually we decided to have Ryan drive him up and down the driveway a few times before he went to work. Here they are, and look how excited Cooper was! I wanted to cry I felt so bad. Cooper did cry a little when Ryan went to work but got over it very quickly. The next day he wanted to wear a matching shirt as Ryan when he went to work. He is SO funny, and is in a daddy phase again, which is perfect timing!! :)
One evening before bed, Cooper and Ryan built a very tall tower and called me in to see it.
Yesterday Ben and Elizabeth came over to play. Look at how cute Ben is being, and look at my son. Not exactly cooperating in the picture!
Cute Elizabeth, she was being very cooperative and let me take a bunch of pictures of her.
I thought I'd put one more belly picture of me. (although if he takes forever to arrive I might be able to post another one). I'm 38 1/2 weeks here, and I was thinking that Jackson would be arriving at any time! But this was Sat evening, and it's now Tuesday and he's still not here...wonder when he'll arrive??!!

Cute pics! The story about Cooper going to work is a little heartbreaking. When Jackson does arrive (could be today) I propose that Daddy DOES take Cooper to go see his work and then to lunch or something. That way he gets some 'special Cooper time' AND Mommy and Jackson can sleep!! Who seconds this idea?!

Allison I could not agree more!!! Can not wait to see Jackson pictures, that baby needs to get here soon!
that's a great idea, I'm going to have to tell Ryan about that!
The "going to work" story is priceless! I absolutely love it! You are right about perfect timing for being daddy's boy right now. :) Can't wait to hear the big news! Keep me posted! Will be thinking of you lots!! Best of luck, I'm sure all will go well!!
PS. Thanks for the bday signs idea! That was totally stolen from you and your great ideas! :)
Cute pics of Cooper. The work story is so sweet. I agree with Allison. That would be a fun outing for Cooper. Can't to hear about Jackson's arrival. Take Care and "good luck"!
Lots of love-

Awww - that story just makes me cry! :) Great idea, Allison - Cooper would love that! I think Jackson will be here by the weekend!
I love these stories! Glad Cooper is in a Daddy phase right now...hopefully it will continue for a few more months! I so wanted to call you yesterday during nap time but the kids did not cooperate (their naps only overlapped for 30 minutes). Hope we can talk this weekend before baby Jackson arrives. How are you feeling?? My how healthy he will be!
I'm waiting on pins and needles! Though I am sure the wait is even more painstaking for you! Can't wait to meet Jackson.
What a cute story, even if it is a little sad... I am excited to hear of Jackson's arrival. I can't wait! Keep me posted!
