Cooking again with mom

We made some yummy Valentine truffles a few days ago, and Cooper was a big help! Sort of. He basically just wanted to eat all of the cookies.



Here he is rolling the oreos.







Look mom, I can eat and roll at the same time!







He definitely was the cookie taster!! :) I have pictures of the finished product on my camera, but my camera is now broken so I can't download them! It might be a little while before I post again!

Other news.. we had some drama today with Cooper. He fell off a baby trampoline and hit his head on the wall and needed stiches! Cooper did great and got 5 staples put in. Of course my camera is broken so I didn't get pictures. (not of the staples, yuck, but of my cute boy). My mom luckily had hers so hopefully I can post pictures in a day or two.

Valentine Lunch at Grandma's

On Wednesday we had a Valentine lunch at Gma's house. (I'm a little behind on posting this)
Here's the cute table!

Cooper next to his Valentine present. He's wearing a shirt that Gma got him that says "Wild about Mommy" Definitely my favorite present!

Ben and Cooper


All the kids. It was hard to get a good pic of all of them. Cooper was obsessed with eating his candy bracelet and is eating it in every picture.

Opening presents!

I had to put a picture of the pizza my mom got-it's heart shaped! :)

Thanks for the great day gma!

Exciting News!

Cooper is going to be a big brother!


Ryan and I are very excited to be adding to our family! I am 13 weeks pregnant (due August 19) and am feeling great!

Not to your new house!!

So we got home late from the grocery store today and I had to put all of the groceries away and make dinner very quickly. Cooper wanted to go play outside in his new house. I've never let him play outside by himself before (in a locked backyard) but I decided to let him and just peek at him. So he starts digging in the dirt (it just rained) and smears the dirt all over his brand new brand clean house! You can't tell in the pics, but it was pretty much dirty all over the inside and outside. So funny. I saw him do it and tried to stop him a few times, but since I wasn't outside with him much it was a losing battle. He also was very dirty and I wanted to bathe him before we even ate! Oh well, I guess that's how almost two year olds act! :)


Looking so innocent. He's in time out right now for throwing a stick at me, isn't that nice?? He thought he was being funny!



dirty dirty dirty!

Cooper's new house

Cooper got a house for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa B. It took awhile to get but we finally got it and put it up this weekend. Cooper loves it! Thanks G & G!


Here's Cooper reading the instructions, isn't he smart!? :)


Playing with the "sports" side.


Gassing up his car. He thought this was pretty fun.

Answering the phone. It's so funny because now he says "Hi.. um... Yeah.." and then hangs up. I guess he has some models around here that he's imitating! :)

taking my order at the market

and helping daddy finish up the house!

What fun! Thanks again G & G!

A New Spot to Hang Out

Cooper was hanging out in his room while I was doing laundry, and I came in and he was under his changing table! So funny.



A cute picture of Cooper's new haircut (please excuse his dirty face!)

Bounce House

Ben got a bounce house for his birthday and they kids have really been enjoying it!

Here is Cooper having a blast in the bounce house!

Here's Ben. I think he's telling me that Cooper stole the ball from him. :)

Another shot of Cooper jumping away. He's not a great jumper "on land" so he has a great time jumping in the bounce house. He actually can get both feet off the ground!

Cutie pie Elizabeth. Look at that hair!

Even Grandpa got in! Cooper loves to snuggle with Grandpa.
