Catching Up

I have gotten behind on blogging so I'm going to try to catch up!  I realized when going through my pictures that they're going to be very Jackson heavy now that Cooper is in school.  When he gets home from school we don't do a lot that is "photo worthy."  Just playing a bit, homework, dinner, and bedtime routine!
 
Lately we've been doing some playdates.. I don't have my camera out much when we go places, but I was able to get some photos of the kids playing at home.
 
Cutie pie Jackson-we just had his 3 year appointment and surprise surprise..he's in the 100% for height and weight! 
 
 We've been seeing a lot of Holly lately because her sister is in kinder just like Cooper, so my friend Heather and I (her mom) trade off watching the little kids so we can volunteer up at school.  It's been so fun!

 A sneak-peek to the boys' new room! They are sharing a room and it's been going really well.  I got them these reading lamps and they both hopped in bed and started reading.  Then I read on the tag attached to their cord that it contains lead and to wash hands if we touch the cord, so off they came!  I even took the time to spray-paint the darn things!  Oh well, next time I'll read the tag. :)
 While babysitting Holly I realized she could write a few of the letters of her name!! (and she's not even three!) so while Cooper was doing homework I had Jackson trace his dot-to-dot name.   I was so impressed at how well he did.  He really enjoys coloring whereas Cooper does NOT.
 Playdate with Henry.  They both got in bed and then asked me to leave the room and shut the door.  They kept pretending to sleep and then getting up and racing around the room.  Crazy boys.

Buddies! 

 I bribed Henry and J to take a few pictures for me for m and ms.  It worked!

 We love moon sand around here.
Cooper has been playing tball and it took him some practice, but now is doing really well.  He loves it and has a great time so that's all I care about!
 

 Jackson and Cooper were invited to a birthday party at the firestation but we were babysitting E and B at the same time so I only took Jackson.  Who's that kid ruining the group shot by crying??  His mom should really do something about that!  :)  (he was having a shy time the first 20 minutes of the party)
 
The pinata really opened him up.
 By the time the firestation tour came he was all smiles and loving every minute of it.
 Whew, no tears this time!  (look at the baby-birthday boy's brother-he's a dalmation!! Isn't that adorable??)
 E and B spent the night.  Notice what Cooper's doing? 
 Another playdate with Holly, I just thought this picture was so cute!
 The many faces of Jackson...


 We had a dance party and Holly taught Jackson some moves.
 This is Jackson's idea of dancing...running!

T-Ball, Meet the Teacher, and 1/2 Birthday Fun!

We've had a busy few weeks lately. Jackson's birthday, then Cooper started t-ball last week. He's pretty excited about it, I think he really enjoyed soccer so I'm hoping he likes t-ball just as much. I'm not excited about practicing in 100 plus weather but hopefully it'll get cooler soon!

Here he is in the "ready" position. (in blue)
Ooh, almost!

Jackson really enjoyed watching!

Now he's in the outfield!

Now he's up to bat.


Running the bases!

Cooper started PK on Tuesday and last week we had his Meet the Teacher. Cooper loved his teacher and his classroom, and one of our neighbors is in his class. That made him feel even more excited about PK!

Cooper found his cubby!

With his teacher. We're excited about a fun year!

We had a little 1st day of PK celebration and a 1/2 birthday party. I've always wanted to do that, so this year I combined the two. Here he is with a half wrapped present.

Half a cookie on half a birthday plate with 4 and a half candles! Lots of halves! (he's covered in lasagna so please ignore that!)

That's a lot of candles!

He got his backpack and inside was a little present and MONSTER MIST! My mom reminded me of this idea. Cooper all of the sudden has gotten really scared of stuff. Things that never bothered him before like going into his closet, going in to his bathroom, etc... are now scaring him. So I made this monster mist (water, a few drops of lavendar oil, and glitter) for him to take with him. It makes bad guys and monsters disappear! It's magic :). He loves it. We'll see if it works!

Getting ready to stop the monsters!

He had a great first day of school so I'll have to post pictures of that soon!
