Our weekend :)


WARNING: Lots of Pictures!!

We didn't have too much going on this weekend, but had a really good time! We started off Friday night with Michael's birthday. We had his family over for dinner & cake & ice cream. We grilled shish-ka-bobs and had the most amazing strawberry cake for dessert! We had a great time with family! This is the only picture I took, but I had to get one of the birthday boy!!! 
Saturday morning I got up & went to some garage sales! I found lots of good stuff while Daddy stayed home with the babes!! I took a few pics once I got home & got the babies dressed for the day! They were such happy babies when I got home!!

This was one of my garage sale finds!!! A Leapfrog Activity Table. I took the legs off until the babies can pull up & they loved playing with it! I got it for $12!!!
Cute Cooper...look at those lashes!!!!
Sweet Hadley!
I attempted to get a better picture of Coop's tooth...can you see it????

We went to church this morning. We still haven't taken the babies to the nursery yet...last time we went Michael & I both had to take a baby to the foyer, but today they both slept the entire time & were perfect! Once we got home, Hadley went down for a nap, but Cooper fought so hard not to go to sleep even though he we SO tired! I truly try to enjoy any one-on-one time I have with either baby. It is usually Hadley who fights sleep, so I don't usually have Cooper by himself since he is such a good napper. So today we decided we would go outside & swing.....in his swing....
...and in the hammock! He loved the hammock & was so relaxed!!!


Then Miss Hadley woke up!!! I got this crib soother at a garage sale also for $5! I have been wanting to get two, but didn't want to pay $30 each for them. I decided to put it in Hadley's crib since she is harder to get to sleep. Hopefully, I can find another good deal on one soon for Coop's crib!
Both babies love to watch it!! They sat Hadley's crib after she woke up watching it!!!
Cooper still hadn't napped at 3:00 so I decide to take the babies on a car ride to see if he would take a nap!! I snapped this picture before we left. I have to take the 3rd row seat out in order to get the double stroller in the back & the babies take up the middle row. So me & 1 passenger is all I can get in my Tahoe! 
Our 1 hour car ride worked like a charm! He slept the entire time....sweet boy...he looks so peaceful when he is asleep!!
Once we got home, we went on the back porch to sit for a while. Hadley was in the swing & I left Cooper in his carseat because he was still asleep when we came inside. 

...and look at my other baby who got the cutest hair cut yesterday!!
We sat on the porch & watched Daddy work in the garden for a while!
Then we started our nighttime routine....dinner, bath, bottle, & bed! I decided to give the babies  a biter biscuit for the first time tonight. They loved it, but made the biggest mess with them!



Does anyone have one of these?? This is the coolest thing we tryed out tonight! The brand is BOON & you fill the bulb up with baby food. All you do is squeeze the bulb and a little bit comes out on the spoon....so easy & quick!! You must get one!!
...and then one last picture of two of the cutest, most tired babies in the world!! {grin}

I hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Our new swimming pool and....

COOPER HAS GOT A TOOTH!!!! 
You can't really see it in this picture, but it's really there!!! I am so excited! It is his bottom left tooth that is coming in first. I can't really feel it, but it is red & I can barely see a tooth peaking through!! Way to go Coop-man!!
I recently bought this little pool for the babies & decided to try it out this afternoon after naptime! They loved it! I filled it up late morning so that the water wouldn't be so cold...it actually felt like bath water by the time we got in it! Cooper wasn't a big fan of the bumbo seat, but loved it when I laid him down in the water! That is actually when I noticed his little toofer coming in...hehe!! Hadley loved it all!! This will definately be a fun thing to do all summer!!! I just wish we had a real pool in our backyard...hint, hint! {grin}






Somebody's having a Birthday?!?!?!

It's time to do some celebrating...someone is turning 29 today!!! Happy Birthday to the most amazing husband & Daddy I know! 

Michael,
Thank you for all you do for Cooper, Hadley, & I. We are so lucky to have you in our lives...you are amazing!!! We hope you have a wonderful day today!!!
I was hoping the babies would wake up before Michael left for work this morning so they could wish him a Happy Birthday. Sure enough they did....right before he was leaving for work, so I snapped a few pictures...sleepy eyes & all. Cooper didn't want to let go of his blankie & yes he is wearing his Halloween PJs. Why not wear them while they fit, right??

Mr. Coop is so into this jumping thing!! I got out our Johnny Jump Up today & he went to town. He is so funny...he jumps off his left foot only for some reason!! He is so cute...he just squeals when he really gets going!! Hadley still hasn't figured out how to jump just yet, but it won't be long!!!


Thanks to all of you who clicked on the Madsen site!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed...even though I NEVER win anything!!!

Little Rock Trip

Mom, C&H, & I just got back today from a great weekend in Little Rock visiting our Pogee & my brother's family. It was C&H's first time to visit their great-grandmother's house & we had so much fun! They were a little cranky...but I expected it being in a new place and all! Overall, we had a great time! This is my nephew, Drew. Isn't he handsome?? Today is his 12th birthday...I can't believe it! Before we know it, he will be driving!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DREW...WE LOVE YOU!!
...and this is my sweet niece, Annie Kate! We love you too...thanks for all your help taking care of C&H this weekend!!

...my brother, aka Uncle Kyle, holding both babies for the first time!

We took the babies swimming for the first time on Saturday. Here we are getting ready to leave! Don't they look precious??

Miss Hadley, bless her heart, wasn't a big fan of the cold water. She was much happier sitting in her Pogee's lap on the side of the pool.
Mr. Cooper, on the other hand, loved the water & chilled out in his boat for a long time!

We had such a good time, but I am so worn out. I swear I have to pack for an army to take two babies anywhere, but it was so worth it! We love you Pogee, Kyle, Becky, Drew, & AK...see you soon!!
