My Baby Boy - not so baby anymore!

I had to take Cooper to the doctor the other day for an ear infection. After we got in the car, I looked back and saw him with his little backwards hat on just grinning away. Just thought I would share his cuteness!

Pumping Iron

Scott (aka "The Sucker") bought some Seen on TV gadget to do push ups. While he was demonstrating his manly moves, Caroline decided to add some more weight to his workout and go for a ride.




Then, it was Caroline's turn

Look at those muscles!

"Mommy, I'm swimming!"

Our Weekend

Well, the weather was great this weekend, so the kids got to finally break out all of their outside toys. After a few hours, I was able to bribe them to come in to cook supper. Boy, am I tired!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We hope you had a very Happy Valentine's Day! Cards are in the mail.... better late than never!

What the heck????

Are all of the weather guys on crack? We got home around 6:30 with a light rain. At 9:00, I let the dog out and see about an inch of very-stickable snow!!! And it is still snowing like a blizzard here! Where did this come from? Usually we hear two weeks in advance that snow might be coming!

I stayed home from work with Caroline today because she had that stomach virus going around. Looks like I may have to take another day tomorrow if their school closes! I can't catch a break.

Scott is out of town at a sales meeting. Figures.....

Cooper and his hair

A few weeks ago, I attempted to trim Cooper's hair. He has made it very clear that he does not like to get his hair cut. He runs when he sees scissors or hears clippers. When I cut his hair last, he ended up looking more like the guys on Dumb & Dumber.

So, Scott took a stab at trimming his hair the other day. I held Cooper (while bribing him with a Tootsie Pop) while Scott trimmed. Yeah, right. Wishful thinking!It became pretty comical. When Scott wet his hair, Cooper ended up smearing the smiley faces off of his hand that I write on his hands when he uses the potty. He had green smeared from ear to ear!

Notice his sideburn. Ice Ice Baby! (And Scott thought he could do better!)

Cooper wins again! Can you buy toddler tranqulizers anywhere??

Happy 10th Birthday!

Peyton turns 10 today! Happy Birthday Peyton!

Skate Party

Caroline and I went to her friend's, Faith, Birthday party at the local skating rink. It was Caroline's first attempt at roller skating, so I was wondering if she would like it. She isn't much of a dare devil!

She put on a brave face!

Faith and Caroline

She skated a few "laps" around the rink until she gave up her skates. She didn't fall once, since she was holding my hand. I am sure after a few more years she will like it. Being out on the skating rink brought back memories from my childhood. I lived in my roller skates as a kid in our neighborhood and loved to go to the rink with my friends and "boyfriends". Journey never sounded so good!


Striking a pose with my sunglasses



Hannah Montana came on...She danced her heart out!

Girls Night Out!

Rainbow Brite and I went to the Hannah Montana 3-D Concert at the movie theater this evening! We needed a "Girls Night Out" together, so it was nice to be just the two of us together. We had a blast. I even caught her at the end singing into my Diet Coke bottle at the top of her lungs. (Sorry, I couldn't get my camera out fast enough!)

By the time we were leaving, we were both walking out of the theater with a little attitude in our step!
