Date Night Again

So Trey and I are going on another date tonight YEAH!!!! does that make me sound like I am dying to get away from Cooper? That is so not what that means. It is just nice to have a night of just Trey and I. Even though the whole time we are out we are thinking and talking about him. Our great friend Elisha is going to keep Cooper tonight for us. It is so great to have such great friends that help you out. Our other friend Sarah kept Cooper for me a while back when I really needed someone to help me out and also our friend Steph did the same thing. I love all of yall for being my friend and loving Cooper so much. I am so blessed to have the three of yall in my life. So thanks girls for all you do for me and for taking such good care of Cooper. He loves spending time with yall.

Are those flip flops not the cutest thing? Cooper hated them so they were only on for the picture.

Still no news on the house offer still trying to work it out. I just figure if this was meant to be then God will work it all out.

House Update

We received a call last night that someone is ready to make an offer on our house but it's a little lower than what we were expecting. Over the next few days we will try to work through the process to see if we can all agree on a price.

It looks like the new house will be ready in early December. Were hoping to have my 30th bday party and Christmas in the new house this year. If not we can try to get everyone into a 1 bedroom apartment :).

A few pics of the house construction:

They love each other so much.

Time for an Update

Where do I start. It has been a while and alot has been going on. I will start where I left off I guess. On July 21 our good friends Robert and Steph got to welcome there second son Ashton into the world and he is so cute. We are so happy for them.

Then the next day Cooper and I had our last class of yoga. Yoga was fun but our teacher has been on vaca for the last 3 weeks and the fill in just does not work me hard enough. When I leave there I want to hurt the next day. I am not into the type of yoga that is mostly meditation, I like to stretch and hold the hard poses. So I decided that Cooper and I would drop doing that. I think he will be ok with that since it feel right at his nap time. So we are going to keep doing playwisely class on Thursdays. Cooper really likes going and learns so much. Then when we get home he takes a looooong nap for me because his little brain has just learned alot.

So along with classes and work that was my week that week. Then Coop's Nana and Papa came in that following weekend and got to play with Cooper and they loved it and he was spoiled.

So Trey and I took advantage of the free babysitters and went out on a date that Friday night. We got to go see a movie and dinner. We have not been to the movies since before Coop entered the worlk.

So as for this past week lets see. Well I worked some more. Dont you just think that work is so overrated. The big thing this week is that my sister Alicia and her husband Randy finally bought a house and closed on Thursday. We are so happy for them. For those that dont know they have been looking for a long long time. They would find a house and then there would already be tons of offers on it. They have been living in an extended stay hotel for i think almost 2 months. So this was a real blessing. So Thursday night after they were officialy home owners we took Coop over to go swimming.

Then this weekend Coop's aunt Emilie came up to spend time with him before she starts back to work. It was good seeing her and she helped Trey out while I worked a day shift.

So some new things Cooper is doing. Lets see. He has discovered his feet and loves to play with them and stick them in his mouth at times. it is the cutest thing to watch. He is still just a talking and talking. He has so much to say. He is just like his daddy. We had started rice cereal a couple of weeks ago and then Cooper got really bad constipation. So we stopped for a while and then decided to start back up again put to add a little bit of apple prune juice to his cereal with the milk and things seem to be working good now. He loves eating like a big boy. He wants to hold the bowl and then help with the spoon.

Ok this post is getting long.

These are pics from Cooper's first day in the nursery at church. This was hard for me to do but I did it. It helped that a lady from our Sunday School class was in there that day. Thanks Jennifer for loving on Cooper for me.

Look What I Can Do

Cooper is sitting up. I have been working with Cooper on sitting up for a couple of days now and so tonight was no different except that he did it. I am so proud of him. He stayed up for a while so I had to share pics of the big event.

4 months

We had Cooper's 4 month checkup and he got an A+. He weighed in at 15lbs 2 oz and is 25.75 inches long. He is in the 50th percentile for weight and still the 90th for height. He once again got 4 shots. He did really good again this time around thank goodness. He is rolling all over this place and reaching out and trying to grab everything. We are working on sitting up now. Cooper and I go to yoga on Tuesdays and he just loves it. It is good for me too. I get all stretched out and get to exercise a little bit. Then on Thursdays we started doing Playwisely which is a class to help Cooper cognitive skills along with his physical development. So on those days when we get home Cooper is sleeps so good. I dont know if yall watch the TV show Yes Dear, but my bother in law Randy said that I am like Kim on that show with my mommy and me classes and stuff. So then I said well then that makes yall Jimmy and Christine. Ha Ha. it was pretty funny if you have seen the show.


Lets see what else has gone on over the past couple of weeks besides work because that is just no fun to talk about.

Our house is still on the market and still no offers. It does not help when 5 other houses are for sale on your street. There for a while we were not having any showings but this past week it has picked up and we have had a lot. We are still praying that God will bring someone along that will love the house and make an offer. The other house is going to get some foundation this week so things are moving along over there.

Trey and I went to the Rangers game last weekend with my cousin Amos and his soon to be wife and we had a really good time. Then on that Sunday my sisters and my mom and I went to the Dallas bridal show. For those that do not know my sister Sara the youngest is engaged to Jacob and so we get to have another wedding in the family. She just got engaged so she had not made any decisions yet, it is still early. They are thinking next summer sometime. I am so happy for her. She is going to be such a pretty bride.




Well that is about all that has happened. This coming week is just a busy work week so I am going to be extra tired.


hope yall have a good week

He is sooooo SWEET

Fireworks

Cooper got to see his first fireworks show this year. We went down to Midlothian and had a cookout with the family and our good friends and then went and watched to fireworks show. Cooper did pretty good. I know that I have said this several times but Cooper gets pretty irritated if he is not to bed around his bed time. So with that said the fireworks did not start until after dark so he was a little upset at the beginning but then when the show started he was watching in amazement. We had a lot of fun. We got to hang out with family and also Shelley, Jeremy, and Jax.

Cooper is now 4 months old and as active as can be. We have his 4 month appt this week so we will get to see how much he weighs. Cooper is almost rolling over. He tries everyday, I think he is going to get is by the end of this week. He also just talks and talks and talks. Trey put him down to bed one night and he said that Cooper talked to himself for 45 minutes. He is just like his daddy :) We also tried rice cereal for the first time. It was fun, he did not know what was going on. He mostly just spit it all out.

So that is Cooper news. Now lets see what exciting things I can tell you about Trey and I. The house we are building is coming along. Coming along a little to fast since we have not sold our house yet. They have made the frame to pour the foundation. We have had like 8 lookers for our house but no offers yet. It does not help that there is like 3 other houses for sale on our block. So if we do not sell our house we will be staying right here for the time being.

Other than the house stuff and work we have not had much going on. Just been hanging out with all of our great friends that we love so much. So as always here are some pics.
