Lets Build a CAR!

We've been buying a BUNCH of little crafty stuff for Cooper to do. He's REALLY into building things, so this car was PERFECT. He even followed the directions...He REALLY did put it together ALL by himself!!!I'd be lying if I didn't admit he whined a few times though...But all in all, he did pretty good!!This is about the time he got tired of me takin' pictures... HEHHEHE...He shaped up though after we threatened an EARLY bedtime...He did a great job on it!!!!!!!!!

Missing in Action...

Cooper has gotten really independent lately. He'll disappear for a while, and usually we find him in the garage, the basement, and sometimes outside. (I found him peeing on the fence a few times "because he had to go potty". He passed right by the bathroom to go out the front door.) Anyways, this time, I grabbed the camera....I like the boots he picked for this little escape...I sure am glad I didn't find him with his pants around his ankles.

Painting ... again

Cooper and I LOVE to paint. So this most recent time, we set up all our supplies in the garage.What a weird kid...He's getting REALLY good with his painting skills! The paints he's been using are the Crayola washable ones. From now on, he'll be using the same paints Mommy uses. :) Here's the little munchkin taking a snack break...And here are our finished masterpieces...

Dallas - 9 months

That's right, our baby girl is now 9 months old. I took her to the vet for a check up (found a lump in her ear) and also for a bath. She does GREAT when I give her a bath here, she just stands in the tub. However the problem with the tub is the side only goes up to her ankles. I figure its just easier to pay the vet to wash her for me. ;) They also weighed her; 72.8 lbs.

Paint-n-Party --March 5th, 2011

Every other Saturday for the past 2 months, a couple girlfriends and I have been going to something called "Paint-n-Party". These parties teach us how to paint a certain picture, and we are allowed to bring a cooler in there. :) I seriously really enjoy these parties! Mom, Jennifer, Sue (Jenn's mom) and I have actually become regulars at these parties. Last Saturday we talked a couple of the guys to come with us; Dad, Travis, Cam, and Cooper. Boy did we have fun!! Cooper LOVED painting with a bunch of grown ups while drinking his squeez-its!He had a LOT of paint on his canvas, so we went to the hair dryer so get it to dry faster...Here is Cooper's finished product...And the group.....

CHEEEEESE

Paintin'...

The other day Daddy had a LOT of work to do on his laptop, so Cooper and I headed out to do some shopping. We went to Michael's and stocked up on painting supplies. We bought different sized canvases, easels, paints, brushes, and aprons. Then when we got home, he had our own little painting day.(Damn this kid sure is cute)He's also a pretty darn good painter!Here is his finished painting.... He was SO proud of it!!Cooper and I will be painting on many MANY more canvases.

Tree Burnin....

We FINALLY got around to burning our Christmas Tree as well as the tree of our neighbor. Unfortunately, it was so dry that it burnt up REALLY quick. So quick, that I didn't even get a pic!!! I did get these though...

Cooper's Photography..

Came across some pics that Cooper took with my camera. Thought you guys would like to see what he likes to take pics of... now i must say, this is a might fine lookin shoe!!awww its Dad!!!The best lookin' can light. EVER.

Monster Trucks - Feb 2011

Monster Trucks came back to the Georgia Dome in February, so OF COURSE we all went to see them!! We went with our normal group, and this year, our neighbors joined us as well! Apparently this year Coopers ears were more sensitive to the noise, as he spent pretty much the entire time like this...His favorite was the Iron Man Truck. (go figure)Coop knows that Monster Trucks are coming back to Dixie Speedway this fall.... which is obviously a few months away. The poor kid is so excited that he's been asking at least a couple times a week if its time to go yet. Silly boy.
