Two at last

That's right Cooper is now offically a todler, and is here to make sure you all know it. He is so much fun, we just love to have him around he makes the day all worth while. Although he is trying to grow up too fast, becasue he really wants to hang with the big kids, so cute.


We just had a small party to celbrate his birthday, and I think he really enjoyed all the attention and friends who came to play. I made him a lego cake for his special day. I'm not sure why I decide I can do these things when obviously my talents lie elsewhere. Oh well for my crap job of icing a cake it came out pretty well. I really should get some cake icing spatuals I think that would help. And maybe a larger freezer. Either way it tasted good and it was all gone by the end of passing out the cake.



These are what I think some of Cooper's goals will be for this year:

1. Ride a bike/run bike
2. Potty Train
3. Learn Colors
4. Learn Shapes
5. Grow up more quickly than what Mom would like

Here are a few more images from his big day, as celebrated with friends and family.

Cookie Time

That's right people it is time for Girl Scout cookies. Isabelle is so excited to be selling cookies this year she can hardly wait to get out on the mean streets and sell away. Now if the weather would work out a little better we might actually be able to get that done.


We waited in line for what seemed like hours to pick up cookies. No more pre-orders here, we get cookies now. I'm not sure if I like this plan because you get 12 cases of cookies and they are the same as everyone else, no substitutions.


We just need to be able to go out and sell, sell, sell. So if you or anybody you know would like to purchase some delicious girl scout cookies please let us know.

The Project

One of the many projects that I wanted to have completed during the holiday break was cleaning out my closet under the stairs. With Ben's help, ok so mostly Ben, we managed to get it cleaned up and organized. I can now get in there and not have to step over fourty-five items to find the game I am looking for.


It is so nice to have a place for everything, I can hardly tell you. And let me tell you there was a lot of crap in the this closet, considering how big it is, I was amazed.

All of my photography props are put away nicely and are easy to get to. The games are well organized and you can actually see their names. Plus you can even walk into the closet without having to step over one item, so nice.


Now to finish work on my garden I will be all set.
