Bathroom Cheerleaders!

Yesterday, while I was doing my hair n makeup... I had an audience!

Wil came in and said "I wanna hang out with you mom!"
So he brought in a chair for himself, then Coop took it, so he brought in another one for himself!

I shut the hair dryer off and Wil says "Good Job for your hair mom!"
.... lol thanks Wil
Wil is the best at telling me how great I'm doing. We get somewhere in the car and he tells me "Good job driving mom!"
other examples... "Good job going potty mom!" "Good job doing dishes mom!"
i cant help but laugh, he will be watching nick play a video game and say "Good job 'high-yain' that guy dad!"
its great taht he notices and appreciates the little things :)

Here is my beef of this week! I have had these socks for not even a month.. and already there are huge holes in the heels.... Nick has had the same socks for like a year! and no holes.... seriously driving me crazy!! Even Wil has had the same socks for at least 9 months. at least, or longer, i think he got them before coop was born, they are a little small and no holes!!! Now i have been really careful to sand my heels and lotion them.. its not helping.
Maybe i need to take walking classes cuz maybe i walk on my heels, or turn on my heels, or something wierd....
Maybe it just shows how much more walking around in the house i do than other ppl.....
i dunno! but im tired of having holes in my socks!!
So if you see me around, take a look at how I walk, cuz thats gotta be it!!!!

im going to start blogging more often, i was looking back at 2008 and i have one month that had 12 posts!!! 12 in one month!! and they were all funny and whitty..... is it bad that i go reread the posts and laugh at them, i think im hillarious lol, and it makes me feel even better when someone posts about how funny they are lol, so to get more attention like that i will be posting more! haha

Easter, n Nick's bday!

Nick's bday was at the beginning of March, but apparently his bday post gets to wait to go up till after easter lol! He got an awesome motorcycle jaket for his bday! it makes me feel a little better about him riding now, its got armor in the elbows n shoulders, back and neck. So now hes got the boots with ankle armor, the gloves with the armor in em, coat and a nice helmet.... somewhat safer, if everyone else will look out for him! :D
We colored Easter Eggs, i think we ended up with about 4 un-cracked egges lol, and they all had guns "shoots", swords, dragons, and footballs on em.... i need some more estrogen in this house, i made one egg with a flower on it :)


Cooper did great getting eggs this year! He couldnt carry his basket by himself without falling over and spilling them everywhere, but it was a valiant effort!

Wil had a blast! We all went down to my parents new house in Indiana spent the night and watched part of conference, then came home sunday afternoon. Nick rode his motorcycle the whole way down there..... The weather said it would be nice and sunny all day.. I left for Indiana at 8 am, when i got there 3 hours later it started raining, and thats when nik left our house, so nick drove half the way there in the rain, and crazy blowing winds, it ended up taking him 6 hours to get to my mom's because he stopped so much to dry off a little.... it was nuts, it didnt start raining till he was about half way there. I didnt want to follow him on his bike, he can ride it if he wants but im not going to watch lol, he said that he was glad i couldnt see him get blown all over the road, that i would of made him get off..... ugh scary,

Wil has started a chore chart about a month ago! He gets stars for doing things that he considers chores since hes 3, like making his bed, brishing his teeth, getting dressed, going potty. Hes really really great about it. He had to save up 100 stars to get the Princess and the Frog on blue ray, I kept asking him if he would rather spend 25 stars and go to mcdonalds or save them and get the movie, he always told me that he would rather have the movie!! So this pic is the night that he hit his 100 star mark and we got the movie the next day!! he was so excited, we danced around for lie 15 mins before bed time. I love that little boy, its been a great lesson for boh of us!!

Sick n Tired!

We have had a week! oh em gee..... Wil had an ear infection the week before and was on a 10day antibiotic, the day after he got off the med he woke up from nap with "the flu" no fever just lots n lots of throw up.... so all afternoon he was sick, then that night he slept sorta okay, didnt eat anything at all but i was okay with that and then he slept on our floor for about 4 hours that night,when he wasnt throwing up, awesome!
The next day i assumed he was feeling better!! my bad, He still wouldnt eat anything all morning but was poundin the 7up so i was okay with that, he woke up from his nap with a high fever, telling me that his ear exploded.... n that there were bugs in there, I call the dr and get all mad cuz he just got off the antibiotic!!! neways, spent the afternoon at the dr and they gave him another antibiotic ( a 3day one, supposedly stronger) that night there was no sleeping, like worse than having a new born no sleeping!! like we had to watch a movie at 3 am just to get the crying to stop kinda no sleep, the movie ended at 5am n i had to just put him in his room n leave him there because if i didn't get to bed for a few hours i might literally die.

In the mean time Nick was practicing like crazy for his audition for the MSU school of music that friday (sickness started on monday) tuesday was the new antibiotic no sleep day, wednesday was zombie day for all, even Cooper, the above pic is from 930 am wednesday morning, when we all finally passed the heck out on the couch. so a little recovery started , we were all feeling better wednesday evening, thursday was almost a normal day, friday was the big day so we're all tryin to keep Nick healthy so that he can sing for a judges in his all day audition. My mom then came to town friday morning, for the weekend. Friday night round 2 of the sickness started, only Nick got it this time! he was up throwing up all night long, so no sleep for me, he was tossing and turning and my mom was on the couch so he had to stay in the bed, at the same time Cooper's molars are trying to rear thier ugly heads.... so he is up every other hour, opposite of nick.... seriously no sleep again, n almost everynight since Coop has had fevers and awful teeth pain, and a useless hubby who is just wiped and sick...

tired, and have not been able to recover

i swear if i get it ima fReAk out

last night i just about lost it, nick was taking a nap, n Coop was walking around making this awful "EEeeaaaaaaeeeeeehhhhhh" screetching noise..... ugh

this is why people drink, its gotta be, or at least one reason



But then, we have some sweet moments too, when i just wanna chew the chocolate off those cheeks and we are friends again :)

just get the sickness outta here, and let me have my family back, or seriously, im gonna freak!

I am sooo loving my new layout that i keep checking back just to look at how awesome it is lol.... happy sunday! :D

Coop's Bday!

My baby tuned 1 the day after Valentines day!! It was a fun bday!!

We filled the apartment with people we love and had food and opened presents!! My lil sis brought her rock band with her and that was a blast!!! (just in case anyone is ever wondering what to get me for my bday.... mother's day... uhm anything i would need a gift for.... i want that!!!)
Wil was super serious

We played pin the nose on the clown! didnt blind fold Coop, that woulda been mean, but everyone else had to have a blind fold lol

"Naked with a dumb hat...... I thought this was supposed to be fun?"

Toooooootally worth it!!!

Sometimes i wonder if parents wait till their kids are one before they ever get to even taste cake?? does that happen?? cuz why is it always a big deal when they eat cake, or they get thier own cake??? like hes never had cake before and we need to see how he reacts? My kids eat cake.... its mushy, they should be able to eat cake?? right?? anyways lol

Coop got some great presents! I dont think he opened any by himself, his brother cant handle the pace that he was opening them at, tooo slow, so Wil helped

He got an awesome toy box from G&G Blaine! painted by a lady in our ward who did a great job, its so pretty, its painted in the back and top and inside, the sides have differnt sports on em, one side is hockey, red wings logo i believe, its gorgeous the pic does not do it justice at all!

I love this baby, i cant believe he is one, hes such a big kid, walking/running all over, he says "Uh Oh!" and "Yuck Yuck" he can do the sign for More.. i havent pushed any more than that, rumor has it second kids tend to take longer to talk anyways because the older sib talks for them, and i am really seeing that, Wil is constantly saying "Coop needs a drink" "Coop doesnt want to take a nap" "Coop needs a diaper"

We had his 1 year appt this week ... ready for the stats!!! this kid is huge lol
weight : 26lbs
height: uhm.... 31" i think that sounds right, ill fix it later if its not
his overall size has slimmed a little he has always been in the 110th percentile, and now he is 90th... so thats good!! and his BMI went down too!
on a side note, i didnt even know that they measured BMI on babies!!! it was kinda ridiculous when i saw that in my stack of papers, they must not make a big deal of it but it was silly

Walkin Man!

My home is full of boys and i could not love them more, they all cuddled up to watch a "high-ya" cartoon. I will keep em forever :)

His first steps were Jan 1st, hes been a little slow to pick it up but hes getting better every day!
this kid cracks me up! he has the biggest butt on any baby ive ever met and has the biggest personality. Hes bugging me right now so , thinking it would make him leave me alone, the nose sucker was sitting on the computer desk here i decided to suck his nose out and of course it back fired, now he wants me to keep doing it.... hes laughing and laughing, he hated that thing when he was tiny, lame!!!
