Driving Stick

So yesterday Chuck decided I needed to learn how to drive the new Jeep. I was excited but scared. I have never even attempted to drive stick. So we piled the boys in and off we went to a big parking lot. I did ok there although starting is so difficult. I just can't seem to get in the rythym of letting the foot off the clutch and pressing the right amount of gas. Kylan kept saying he was scared and then said he was gonna be car sick. I think the scariest part was starting on a hill. It scares me so bad that I am going to roll into the back of another car. At one point I was at a stop sign and this guy pulls up behind me... of course I start having trouble and I can't get the car to go. He honks at me and I lose it. I was like I can't do this Chuck and I get out of the car and let him drive us home. But I calmed down and practiced some more. Then this morning he tells me I have to drive us to church in the Jeep. I was like Ok I will try. It was the best I had done so far and I drove on the busy streets too. When we got to church both boys told me I had done a great job!!! I hope I can keep it up... but I will need alot more practice. So if you see me on the road in the Jeep you might want to steer clear of me.

We actually got snow today! It started sticking around 5pm. The boys were so excited!! They wanted to make a snowman but they got too cold and wet too fast, and it started to get dark. Cooper liked the snow too...I even got excited!! Isn't it pretty!?!

It's Snowing!!!

My big helper !!!

Kylan has been asking if he can change Cooper's diapers for a while now, i just wasn't ready to show him how or have the patience. Well today I really needed to take a shower so I left Cooper in the boys room while I did and when I got out he was crying...so I told Kylan he could pick him up and he did but he says mom he is poopy so I go in there and I bring a diaper and wipes and told him he could change him. Kylan was excited but said mom I need you to help me so we did it together...(Cooper was dry). Well tonight Cooper really did have a poopy diaper and I asked Kylan to bring me the wipes and diaper, he said oh can I change him? I said sure go for it. I gave him two wipes and talked him through it. He did a great job!!! I now have another set of hands to change a diaper...Hallelujah!!! Way to go Kylan!

We Got Two New Cars!!

Yes that's right 2 new cars. I needed a bigger car because the Mazda5 was just too cramped and barely fit us and felt unsafe for the people in the back so I found this 2007 Chrysler Aspen online and feel in love. It seats 8 and feels very safe. Oh and its a Hemi...I have a Hemi. It has a dvd and all the bells and whistles...even tush warmers. It was used but still in excelent condition.


So I don't know where it all turned into Chuck getting a New Jeep because he just got one last year and it was fantastic and he loved it but he somehow sweet talked himself into a 2008 Jeep Wrangler 4door 4x4. It is almost exactly like his Red one but Green and he now has power doors and windows and tint. He got a stick shift though, which means I have to learn to drive stick...very scary thought!!Wish me Luck!!

Pistons Game

Chuck and I went to see the Pistons in Charlotte this weekend. It was so fun. We had really great seats. We even got to go down to the floor area and take pictures and stuff. The seats even came with a server who brought us drinks and we could order free food or go to the buffet at this upscale restaurant at the arena. We had our own flat screen TV at the table too. We had the best time...Cooper came with us and was a perfect baby, everyone was all over our little Cooper Troit. And of course Detroit won!!!!

Pistons Game

Cooper is 2 months old

I can't believe how fast the time is just flying by. My little baby is already 2 months old. And not so little anymore. He had his check up on Thursday and he weighs 12lbs 8 oz and is 22 3/4 inches short. His little cheeks are filling out and he is getting so chuby. He is also getting a little personality and loves to smile and talk to his mommy. I went back to work on New Years Day and daddy is watching all three boys in the evening and I guess Cooper is giving him a hard time. And the minute I get home Cooper is all smiles again. Sorry Hon, didn't you know you were getting another mommas boy!!!

Bringing in the New Year!!! Michigan Style

Bringing in the New Year!!! Michigan Style

We have had a lot of fun bringing in the new year!! Chuck watched the Michigan game with his boys on New Years Day, Michigan beat Florida and I am pretty sure it was because of all our team spirit!!! GO BLUE!!
And the boys love to hang together, they are always wanting to take a picture together. They are just the cutest little bros!!!

The boys love their Bunk Beds!!

We decided that the boys were old enough to get bunk beds...they had been asking for them for a while. Also their beds they had were falling apart and driving my crazy. So me and Chuck spent all day Friday and Saturday setting up there room and when the boys got home from Grandpa & Grandma's house they were so excited to see their new beds!!!
