My little Hawaii Man!

These were a few snaps of Cooper last Friday before school. He was not real sure about dressing up, for the first time ever in his life, but as soon as we pulled up to school, the teacher on duty was dressed up too, which made him fell better. He also saw a couple of other kids dressed up, not as cute as him of course. So, he got out and ran inside, excited by this time over his attire. He was not happy that afternoon because he missed the pep rally, but his teacher did tell me that if they would have judged them dressing up, he would have won in his class. Just a side note, the hat Cooper is wearing was Paw-Paw Carey's hat, and I think he wears it well. The picture below is from our weekend trip. I have tons of pics from the weekend, so I will try to start posting some of them soon.

This is Evie's new shirt from Mr. Hattaway and Ms. Marsha. It says "Lineman's Little Girl," it apparently made her sleepy thinking about her Daddy working. I could not waker her up, even turning her over on her belly.












She was not happy!


















Cooper's sad face. I think that I had just told him that he had to take a nap.









He finally gave it up. He just gets up and moves when he knows he is about to go to sleep.








He loves mud, to say the least. He knows were all the low spots are in the yard. So, after it rains, he goes straight to them.





I started this post Thursday, and I finished it today, Friday.
Cooper has had a wonderful week it school. Yesterday afternoon he was really tired when I picked him up, but he was very excited today. He had to dress up in Hawaiin wear, and he got to wear a tattoo on his face. I have a couple of really cute pictures to post from this morning of him in costume. He has crazy stories everyday. We ran into his teacher Wednesday night, and she of course had a story too. He told her that day when she brought up that they were going to learn their ABC's that he already knew his. He told Ms. Dee that she didn't have to teach him his, that he already learned that, then he proceeded to sing them for her. He woke up at 5 a.m. Thursday to color a girl named Sophie a picture. I think that he might have his first crush. He talks about her a lot. E tried to tell him that Brandon had a dog named Sophie, and he got a little mad at E, cause he told her Sophie was not a dog, a minor confusion. He has learned two new songs this week, that he had to sing to me, Andy, and whoever else he talked to on the phone last night. He has an average of about 6 phone calls per night regarding his school day. All of my family knows that he should have a good story every night, so they just have to check in on him. Everyone calling makes him that much more excited about everything. He tells pretty much the same stories to everyone. He really loves to paint at school, and he does a great job on all of his painted pictures. We are headed to Arkansas, for the family getaway, in a couple of hours. Cooper for some reason has confused Hawaiin wear Friday with our trip, and he thinks we are going to Hawaii. I told the fam that we can't disappoint him, so we must head on to Hawaii. I don't think we are, but who knows, cause what Cooper wants, he gets from Paw Dave and Maw Trish. He has two horses, two four wheelers, and anything else that they think he might want, you know. I will have lots of new pics after the weekend, so stay tuned for more pics n Cooper stories. Have a great weekend.

Cooper's BIG DAY

Our first day of school was Tuesday. Cooper went a half day, and he loved it! We went Monday night for a meeting, and he was really excited about going back the next day. He has 18 in his class. More girls than boys, which he does not have a problem with at all. I just picked him up a few minutes ago, and he had another good day. He went all day today, and he colored me lots of pictures. He has not had to sit in the "Time out Chair," yet. He has lots of new friends according to him, but none of the girls have asked him out, yet! His E, Nar-Nar, n Bub have made him this way about relationships.

The finger says it all, the first day of school right before entering the door.

Cooper has some mosquito bites that were obviously bothering him, but you can see that he is minding someone else's business at this point too.

More itching and still minding someone else's business.

Pictures of Coop with and without his batman backpack before the BIG DAY!


First morning of school breakfast. Everybody should eat 2 pecan wheels and drink a bottle of apple juice for breakfast. Cooper is generally so hard to get up in the mornings, and I can't fuss cause, he gets it from me. Anyway, the last two mornings, he has jumped out of bed. I know this will not last, but it thrills me and Andy that he is so excited and ready. He and I went to McDonalds yesterday for lunch, and he told me every detail. It was so funny, sweet, and sad to listen to him tell me all about it. He had multiple phone calls last night to see how it went. He would tell them all the same thing, then he gave them his signature hang up routine, which consists of "bye, see you later, psst." The psst is an obvious sign off or some sort of cb talk. I hope everyone is having a great day. I will post more tomorrow of Evie. I have to put all of my recent pics on the blog, cause we are going to Arkansas on a family trip this weekend. I am sure that I will take tons of pictures, since the whole family is going. The family consist of Paw Dave, Maw Trish, Me, Andy, Coop, Evie, E, Brandon, Myles, Devin, Nar-Nar, and last but not least John. We are all staying in a cabin together, which should lead to lots of fun and many stories. E will of course stretch the truth on all, but we are sure to have a great time.

Nick Jonas

A few pictures from last weekend. Cooper had his first day of school today. I will try to post pictures of it tomorrow. He did great, and I am sure that he will have plenty of stories. His main concern for today was whether any girls were going to ask him out, his exact words. I have plenty of pics from this morning. Evie is at Ms. Stella's house. Ms. Stella always says that she is an "angel" during the day. Andy really thinks that she is not telling the truth, but she is good just not for him. I think that she knows when she and Andy are alone, which is not often, and then she turns on the demanding side just for her Daddy. Anybody who knows Andy, knows that he wants her to be a Daddy's girl, and she is definately showing him who the boss is in their relationship. I had this post ready last week, but I could never get my video of Nick Jonas to upload. Just take my word that it was so funny. Cooper was Nick, Andy was Kevin, and I was the snorting Mom laughing the whole time. Kevin Jonas, Andy, was trying to sleep the whole time, but Nick would not let him sleep. I tried to upload it three times. After 5 hours, I just gave up trying.





Myles n Evie





Myles, Evie, the remotes (2) and
of course his phone!






Cooper got a little jealous
when Paw Dave n Evie
were napping without him,
so he joined in on the nap!






Maw Trish, Leo n Cooper
Sorry Mom for the pic,
but you make that "I can't
believe you just did that" face
all of the time.




She loves napping on Paw Dave's
belly. Daddy has a picture of he
and Cooper on the same couch in
the same pants taken when Coop
was Evie's age on his dresser at home.




Andy and Me testing the camera!


















Let me introduce you to
Nick Jonas







A close up of the "roll" on Nick's
pants. He say this on one of his
videos.










Watching!






Getting the stage and equipment
ready for his performance!







Getting ready for the show.
He is such a guy, see how he
can't stop watching TV long
enough to do anything.




Nick apparently pulls his pants
up a lot because Cooper wanted his
at his chin!


Have a great day, and school photos will be on tomorrow!
