Not much new

Not much new going on here around these parts. We haven't sold our house yet, but we've had a few lookers which is always encouraging. It's amazing too because I found out I can actually keep a house decently clean almost 24/7. Brian was out of town the past two weekends for Youth Conference and their Priest activity. I also learned during this time that I could be a single parent. It wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be, however, I don't want to do it all the time. I sure appreciate having Brian around and for all the help he gives me. It's good to have him home. I guess it wasn't too bad 'cause I knew there would be an end to it. I thought it was going to be a lot worse, especially once I got the kids in the car to go get some dinner and found out that Brian took our only car key, so I was carless for those 4 days, but we managed. My Mom did let me borrow their car for the last day. Anyway, down to 3 1/2 weeks 'til this baby comes. We're just in a waiting game for just about everything in life. At least it's warm and sunny out! OH, and just because I didn't know what picture to put on here, I threw one together of Coop.

Here's me...

I don't know why I keep posting things since it seems no one looks at our blog anymore (a soft tear rolls down my cheek). But, for those who care and don't say anything, we're down to less than 5 weeks 'til this baby is due, so here's an updated picture. The face shots were this challenge we did on this photo website so I thought I'd put them up. It was just for fun. Hard to take a good picture of yourself. Try it sometime. It's like you get all the weird angles that make your nose look big or your fat show up on your neck. Anyway, there ya have it.

I see the LOVE

I wasn't sure if it was there or not, but got a few pics of it, so it must be in there somewhere! :)

I love this kid!

Before Church

Brian's favorite thing to do before church.... take pictures. (Not really his favorite.)

So Stinkin' Cute

Brian stuck this bandanna on Cooper and I just thought it was so dang cute.

Mother's Day

Wouldn't it be nice if every day were Mother's Day? Well I guess not really 'cause then I wouldn't really appreciate it. It started Saturday for me. We had a great day hanging out as a family and doing yard work. A little later on Brian watched the kids while I went to a bridal shower. After I got back, Brian took us all out to dinner which was nice because I didn't want to think of something to cook for dinner.... again. Then I came home and got Cooper in the bed and Brian took the girls out shopping. The next morning I woke up to Brian starting on dinner and then making me breakfast. He's the best french toast maker! I got the little gifts from the kiddos which the picked out themselves. Roses from Elizabeth and Twix candy bars from Caroline. Brian gave me a day to pamper myself. Can't go wrong with that. Brian took Cooper during RS eventhough he was teaching YM, so that gave me a chance to actually listen. After church Brian got all the dinner finished and the table set, with some help from Elizabeth. We had all my family over for dinner. It was a great day. Brian did so much from making me meals to changing diapers (which he does anyway everyday) to cleaning the kitchen after 13 people. He even made fresh strawberry pie and banana cream pie which were all finished off by the time the night was over. Then, to top it off, he gave me a footrub. What a man!!! It was a great day. Here are a few pics of the nuggest I love.

Summa Summa Summa Time

Although it's really only Springtime, it's warm enough to make it feel like summer. It's so nice to be outside in warm weather. THe girls have been having fun with a little sprinkler toy. Coop's not really a big fan of it, but we get him dressed just in case.

Info please...

So when I changed my background, I lost all my info on others blogs, so if you don't see your name, don't be offended, I just can't seem to remember everything anymore. :) So if you don't see your name on there, please leave a comment with your blog address so I can add it on the list. Thanks. :)

I'm back

Well most of you probably don't know I was gone for several days for my Papa Cooper's funeral. He passed away last Thursday and I flew out on Saturday through Tuesday. Of course it was very sad, but it was also very sweet. I was glad I was able to go. We had a lot of people help out with the kids to make it possible and for that I am very grateful. Brian did full time duty a few days too. He's a great daddy. It was great to be around all the family and it was a nice break to be traveling alone, although I did miss the kiddos. Tuesday morning was the only time outside of the funeral plans, so I had a chance to get out and enjoy the weather. Charleston is one of my favorite cities. So much history and just cute. I had to stop by the beach, eventhough I didn't swim. Just had to get in my beach fix. It was a rushed trip, but a good one. Just posting a few pics.
