This Week In Photos

We had fun taking random pictures again this week.
The first two the boys were trying to get a cute threesome pic. It takes a few to get the perfect one. They are too cute!! Ok I am bias!!


We let the boys take a bath the other night. We usually make them take a shower, but we had a few minutes and I tried to put Cooper in with them but he kinda freaked out. So no cute pics!!

Brayden wanted to take a pic of Cooper. He said he looked like a baby Jesus. Cooper is so dang cute and fun!!


Here is Cooper up close. He is famous, everyone likes him and wants to be his friend. You can kinda see his new carseat in the background. (Brayden took this photo too!!)



Thanks for looking at our week in photos!!

Birthday Cake and Myrtle Beach

One of Chuck's best friends Louie came to visit us this week. He brought his mom and sister with him from New York. We had such a great time. We had a mini b-day party for Louie on Monday...the boys were so excited. Then on Tuesday we ventured to Myrtle Beach for the day. It was so much fun. It was really windy and the sand was pelting us. But it was nice and warm and we enjoyed the fresh air. Oh and we had to bring back a ton of Fireworks from South Carolina (they are legal there). It was so nice to visit and the boys love their Uncle Louie so they had fun playing and showing off. Wednesday we played around in town and they had to leave that night. It was a great time and I can't wait to see them again this Summer when we go back to NY for 4th of July. Oh and Lou better have the best dang fireworks display ever cause my car was packed with them.

Birthday Cake and Myrtle Beach

We are never chill...always busy for us!!

So I have like a weeks worth of photos and fun times to post again. We are always so busy..it really rarely ends for us.

Last weekend we had fun hanging out with Chuck's family. We went to Greenville, SC to visit with his parents and Grandparents. It was the first time his grandparents got to meet Cooper. He loved them!! It was a great time!! We always love to visit with family!

Also I have some cute photos of the boys from last week. They love to use the camera by themselves and take random pics of each other and Cooper. Here are a few:

They got their old Jeep out but the battery is dead...Cooper is so cute he lets them do anything with him. Oh and he loves the fans... he was born in the winter so he is just now learning all about those. We just have fun with him all the time.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's day to all my family and friends out there!!

This is what Chuck made me for Mother's Day!!
Here we are eating it all up yummy, ignore the mess in the background(we fed the kids lunchables while we ate the good stuff) and we always have boxes piled up in our dining room!


So, I am behind on my blog again. What's new!!
We had a fun week this last week. Brayden had a fun fieldtrip to the Cape Fear Botanical Gardens, Cooper and I got to go we saw alot of interesting nature stuff and Brayden and his class presented the parents with their ABC books. The boys made lots of cute Mother's day gifts for me. Cooper turned 6 months this Thursday. I am so excited for his new milestones. He is growing so much. He makes alot more noises and he playes with all his toys, he really interacts with us. The boys are having alot of fun with him (they were wrestling on the floor just now and Cooper wanted to get down and wrestle with them.) I am excited for tommorrow when he goes for his 6 month Dr appt. I wonder how much he weighs. My shoulder and back have been really sore as of late and so I think he has gained some weight...my big boy!! He is drinking water from a cup and still trying to like food (not really digging the baby food yet). We had a barbeque with some friends on Friday. Chuck made his famous Olive Garden Salad. We all had a great time but of course I got eaten alive by like 5 mosquitos. (I already had a huge fire ant bite on my arm.) I have these huge bug bites on my arm and leg (HUGE). Why do they like me so much!?!
Anyway we had a pretty 'lax weekend and I am so Thankful for Mother's Day! I was treated like a Princess today by my 4 boys. Ain't I lucky!!
Oh I almost forgot...So Kylan yesterday came in and had a huge red mark on his face it was all swollen. Chuck and I were like OMG what happened. Kylan was like "what!?!" nothing happened. I said "wow that looks like a bug bite, did you get bit outside...maybe a bee". "No" he says. Chuck said "Kylan tell the truth what happened". Kylan was all "nothing nothing
happened". He looked scared and like he might cry. Finally he said, "Ok ok I was on my bike and I hit a car". I said "What oh gosh did you get hit by a car? Are you ok?" He said "No I hit a car when I fell off my bike. The car was parked and I fell and hit my head on the side of the car." WOW!!! He was so embarresed to tell us. We iced him up and he was fine. How scary for him but after the fact I thought it was kind of funny!!

Cooper is 6 Months !!

Our New York City Adventure

OK so we left at 4 am on Thursday morning, and let me tell you it was the best thing to leave while the children were asleep, Cooper never made a peep the whole 10 hour trip. We got there around 2pm. So even with three 20 minute stops to feed baby and gas up we still made it 10 hours. And the trip was so beautiful and easygoing. We will be going a few more times this year for sure. I love the New Jersey turnpike. They have these rest stops in the middle of the interstates and they have restaurants and gas stations with the rest stops. It is pure genius!! Anyway so we get to Long Island at 2ish and we got settled and left for the Train to the Bronx's at 4:40ish for the Yankee vs Tigers game. It was a little rainy and getting cold, so I left Cooper with our friends and he did great (I was a little nervous leaving him for so long) we met Louie in the city at Rockefeller Plaza and took the Subway into the Bronx. It was so crowded, rush hour and all the Yankee and Tiger fans. My boys were decked out in Yankees gear. They were so cute but Chuck is bitter over them not liking the Tigers. The game was amazing...it rained the whole game, but we had the best seats, lower level under the awning over third base. Plus the Tigers swept the Yankees. It was so awesome. And it is the last year for Yankees old Stadium, just a really great experience. Oh Kylan actually fell asleep during the middle of the game, but Braydo was so into the game it was too cute. It was funny, every time Chuck would take the kids decked out in their Yankees to the bathroom fans would yell at him , ya your kids know whats up. (Chuck was decked out in Tigers stuff). It was great!!Friday we went into the City it was so faced paced this time I guess because it was a Friday and people were in the city for work and such but since we had been down there before we just did exactly what we came for, Macy's was amazing, I have never seen a bigger dept store. Oh and I loved the Hard Rock Cafe! Canal street where I usually get my amazing Knock off bags is full of Cops now so instead it worked out that I got to go to this great bag party and got some great Coach bags and some Channel glasses. Saturday we stayed in Long Island and the boys got their Wii their Uncle Lou had been promising them. We also had a birthday party for Louie's father Dennis. The boys really enjoyed that. Then Sunday we left for home. On the way home Chuck and I discussed moving out to Jersey and commuting to the City because we love it so much. I don't know if it would ever happen but a possibility. Well here are a few pics of our fun trip!!!
