"That's how I roll"

Cooper is REALLY REALLY into trains. Daddy and I have been addicted to putting these damn train tracks together. We got some "switch" tracks, which Cooper LOVES. The other day, as i'm watching Cooper and Daddy play trains, Cooper rams into the back end of Daddy's train....

Daddy: Why did you do that?

Cooper: B-Cuz

Daddy: Because why?

Cooper: B-Cuz that's how i roll!

Mommy found this HILARIOUS, however, Daddy did not.

Here are some pics of his trains...

This pic cracks me up... I like that Thomas is also on TV...These tracks have really started to annoy me. I was playing with Coop, and because of the way the tracks were set up, I couldn't get to an entire section. I voiced this problem....

Mommy: These tracks annoy me, I can't get to that whole section!

Coop: Turn the train around Mommy.

Gee, thanks Coop.

Labor Day

This Labor Day, we headed to Grandma & Grandpas, since Grandpa and Lee were in town. Uncle Myles also bought a new bike, so we got to watch him clean it up. (Yippie). After Uncle Myles unloaded his bike from the RMT, Cooper loaded his up... (I should also note that he now dresses himself... thats why he looks like a christmas tree)

It was sooo cute when he pushed his bike up the ramp and into the truck. He even used the tie straps to tie it down so it wouldn't move.

Here is the infamous ramp...

Can you see the red dot with a little bruising under his right eye? Well, he was trying to break a stick in half, and ended up jabbing his face with it. We've decided because of this near eye incident, Cooper will NOT be owning a Red Rider BB Gun anytime soon.

Poor guy cried for a bit, and Daddy, Lee and I couldn't stop laughing. We're so nice.

Coop still likes hunting for antenna's.... The bigger the better...

I was watching the dirt bike washing, and look over and caught Coop doing this...

I guess you gotta go when ya gotta go!!

The bike at Grandmas house still has training wheels, as it's still a little too big for Cooper. I wish I could have caught a good pic of him trying to kick start it. That's how uncle myles has to start his bike, so Cooper decided to do the same. It was SO CUTE!

Here's a pic of Daddy... cleaning Grandma's lights. ;) It looks like he's floating on the bushes!
Happy Labor Day!!!

Baths & Nonsense

Cooper loves taking baths these days. Thank god, since he's now taking them with Bleach. Sounds cruel, but its helping out his skin dramatically!! (and apparently i have some hella colorful bath towels!)Daddy took a picture of him balancing a wash cloth on his head. Its kind of a fuzzy pic, but you can definitely see the concentration on his face...

I took Cooper to the "Ticket Store" last night. Its actually the Shell Gas Station, but he made up a new name for it, since we were going there to cash in my winning lotto tickets. Apparently i've never taken him INTO a gas station before, because he was amazed at all the candy. (Which is quite hilarious, since he doesn't even like candy!) Silly Boy. Cooper picked out 2 lotto tickets for us to try.... they had Harley Davidsons on them, which, i'm sure, is what caught his eye. Unfortunately, we didn't win anything off them. He did get some gummy worms outa the deal!

Side note: On the way to the Ticket Store yesterday, I was telling Coop that he's silly. He fired back with "you're a pain in da ass". Guess I need to watch what I saw around my little guy, as I'm pretty positive i've said that before. Luckily, he's a quick learner, and knows now that he can't say that.

New Hair Color

I forgot to tell this story; of my handsome, loving little man.

I have a new hair color, and this conversation is why...

Cooper: Grandma?
Mommy: I'm not Grandma, I'm Mommy!!
Cooper: No you're not, you're GrandMommy!!!!

After beating him senseless, I dyed my hair.

The kid may not live till his 4th Birthday. :)

Rainy Georgia Weekend

This weekend was pretty rainy, however we get some good pics. Saturday Cooper decided he wanted to dress himself, thats why he's wearing a goofy outfit. (He even put a heavy jacket on as well). Coop and Daddy headed out to one of Daddy's jobsites to take some measurements.

After that it was time to head home and get ready for a Cookout at Alan & Vanessas. We did convince him to chance clothes, thank god!! Cooper has been getting bloody noses... a LOT. A WHOLE lot actually. This picture was taken after the 3rd bloody nose of the day... poor buddy.

(His Linus shirt cracks me up! I LOVE it!!! -- thanks Tiffanie!!)

Here are some pics with his awesome shirt outside...

I didn't get any pics from the Cook-Out, but Cooper actually lasted till 10pm! It was great fun, and we look forward to many more in the future!!

OH- and I can't forget about this picture. Mommy bought Cooper some AWESOME Spongebob swim trunks. He REALLY liked how Spongebob was on his butt... so we took this pic and sent it to Tiffanie & Joe, and Mimi & Pops...

Coop and Mommy

This week, Cooper and Mommy got to spend some quality time together, as Daddy was in FL on business for a few days. We had a blast together!! Coop LOVES taking baths in my big bathtub, so we took some pics... Apparently we may get some storms today, so the sky was colorful. Cooper said "OOOOOHHHHH Wook at the Sky mommy, its BOODAFULL!!!" He wanted me to take a picture of it, so we took one while driving... safe i know, but i'm awful good at multi-tasking while driving. ;)
Cooper and Mommy had great fun while daddy was away, but we are looking forward to seeing him tonight!! Our little family just isn't the same when one of us is missing.

The Weekend

This weekend was a pretty laid back one. Grandpa was in town from Sylvester (its been awhile since we've seen him), so we spent the day at their house on Sunday. Unfortunately, Grandpa had to fix the bathroom tub while he was in town. I'm sure his trip to the Acworth home was just what he was expecting~ home repairs!! Brodey, Cooper and Brock enjoyed the show... hopefully they didn't hear TOO many 4 letter words.

If you are wondering why our son is the only child without his shirt on, its because its his new thing. The little munchkin gets hot, quick, so he just likes to go shirtless these days. :) Altho, we were REALLY lucky, and actually had some nice cool weather this weekend, as a matter of fact, we didn't even go swimmin'!!

This weekend we also got to see our good friends, Alex & Stephanie, and their cute lil guy, Logan. Starting this week, Grandma is going to watch Logan a few days a week. Cooper is super excited, and we are really excited about him being able to get to know Logan better. It will be great fun for them both.
