Mothers Day Preschool Program

I went to Coopers preschool for a mothers day party. There teacher had them all make books for their moms with pictures they drew and she wrote down their own words that completed each sentence. This is what coopers book said:

I love my mom because........she's always my favorite
My mom cooks the best........waffles (even though he hates waffles)
Me and my mom ...............like to go on a field trip to the park

Then he served me muffins and juice and gave me some flowers. He is such a sweet boy. I love being a mom!

Coopers 1st Soccer Game

Cooper just started playing soccer, and he absolutely loves it! He's even had a few goals...maybe he'll take after his dad. There is something so cute about watching 4 year olds play soccer! I am such a proud mom!

THE 80'S ARE BACK!

A few weeks ago we went to our friend Jeremy's 30th birthday party. It was an 80's dance party. It was so funny because they had group and single pictures taken of each couple, a d.j. that played 80's all night, and karaoke. I really get into these things because I'm always one for dressing up. I had to coax Jeff into it a little (because he thought we'd be the only ones dressed up) but I think he was relieved to see that was not the case, and there were actually a few who went all out(you know who you are). It was a fun night...thanks Jerermy & Amanda! Oh, and don't ya just love my leg warmers?

Easter Morning & Egg Hunt

Easter morning we woke up to Cooper jumping on our bed at 7a.m. telling us to wake up so we could go find eggs. He did that for about an hour...a very annoying, long hour. The easter bunny did come, and we had a good egg hunt and the kids loved their baskets. Parker just started shoving jelly beans into his mouth as soon as he got a hold of his basket. Cooper got legos from the easter bunny(Jeff & Coop can seriously spend hours building them together.

We had Easter dinner and an egg hunt at Grandmas house(Jeffs parents). The kids had so much fun, and Cooper loved being with his cousins!

HAPPY EASTER...I THINK

Did anyone else have a morning like this? With Jeff gone on sunday mornings, getting ready is such a challenge! Parker was on one! He was sooooo cranky, so taking a good picture was pretty much out of the question. Then, I couldn't find Coopers church shoes (we're already late),and they turn up in the backyard caked in mud! So, next resort...his tennis shoes. Well, those are at the neighbors house 3 doors down from us in the backyard being eaten by their dog! And I only found one. So, we resorted to his sandals. Yep, nice easter outfit with sandals. Sometimes I feel like...why do I even try? I didn't hear one thing during sacrament meeting, but then Jeff took Parker home so I could at least get something out of easter sunday. Seriously, I was exhausted by the end of the day! I'm sure you have all had a few days like this.....right?

I LOVE MY BOYS!!!!

I love that my boys play so well together now. I have so much fun watching them wrestle, or just sit in the laundry basket and laugh at each other. I love being a mom...it's times like these that make it all worth it.
