Name this photo



Here's the story:
The other afternoon, Cooper stayed with our neighbor Adrienne and Casen until I got home. She had a bowl of chocolates that Cooper discovered as we were walking out the door. So he grabbed a couple. When we got home, he ate his last one. Obviously he wanted more...see picture. This is what he did, when I said, "show momma your hands". He was not a happy camper!

So, if you have a great name for the photo, let me know.

Day at GiGi's



On Valentines day, Coop and I went to visit his GiGi. First we stopped by Milos to grab lunch. Then we headed to Great Grandmother Margie's to hang out. She was so happy to see us. Especially Cooper! This is defiantly something Cooper and I need to do more often.

Sunny in February






A few Sundays ago, I met Sarah, Rich , and Mag at Oak Mtn Park after church. Coop and I packed a picnic lunch and headed to Oak Mtn. It was such a beautiful and warm day. We LOVED it!! Cooper loved running after Mag, playing in the sand, and going to the bird sanctuary. This day made me feel so blessed and READY FOR THE SUMMER!!

Dinner and a Movie





One of my best friends Jennifer Roby finished her Masters program and the girls went out to celebrate. First we all met for dinner and drinks at The Village Tavern. It was so yummy! My friend Jenn B joined us for the festivities. After dinner, we headed to the movies to see " He's just not that into you". It was good, but not as good as we all thought it would be. The movie kinda made girls look a little needy and pathetic. But it was fun hanging out with my girls!!

What a wonderful weekend!

Cooper and I had the BEST weekend ever! I guess the warm and beautiful weather could have had something to do with it. And my sweet angel ate like a piggy all weekend. I guess he is hitting a growth spurt. My guess is that as he gets older, he is going to eat everything in site...just like my brothers did. On Saturday, Cooper spent some one on one time with Papaw while I hosted my PAMPERED CHEF party. Coop and Papaw went to watch the airplanes at the Shelby County Airport and went to Veteran's Park. Coop was in heaven. Since it has been SO cold and he has been sick,playing outside has been unheard of. But he...we...got spoiled by the wonderful weather this weekend. Oh, back to my PAMPERED CHEF party. It was a success!! And within a few weeks, I will be a consultant. I really don't want a 2nd job, but some extra income would be great. Plus, I get to make my own hours and work when I want to. I still work at Kevco full time and will do PC some weekends. So, if any of my readers want to purchase some PC products, just let me know. OK, back to my weekend. On Sunday, Coop and I played outside A LOT. I even got the jogging stroller out and walked around the neighborhood. I also cleaned and organized the garage. What a wonderful weekend!

Coop's new favorite phrase:
With pointer finger in the air, he says "not hot, it's just right", while shaking his head up and down.

With God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26
