Hat Man

Jameson has 10 hats already, and I think this is just the start of his collection. CJ has always been a hat man, so it only makes sense that his son would be.

Christmas 2011

Handsome boy...check those thighs!

Grumpy face

Bella was soooo excited on Christmas morning. She woke us up (for the first time ever) and said Santa had come. She really loved her doll that my grandma left for her. Her name is Julie and she is going to be Bella's new best friend.

Bella's elf (Obie) left her a letter on Christmas morning.

Sorry, once again, that it has been far too long since I have posted. Finding time to sit at the computer is most difficult with two kiddos. I also recently lost my grandmother to her battle with cancer, so I have been pretty wrapped up in family and grieving her loss. Christmas was a little tough this year without my grandma to share it with, but I sure tried to make it as normal as possible for the kids. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and we miss you all.

The Cooper Home

Our house is beautiful chaos. We have two kids, one dog, 3 chickens (soon to be more), and now two tiny swimming frogs. There is always something needing to be cleaned up after, fed, or played with, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Recently, while trying to get our Christmas card photo taken in front of the tree with animals and children, I found myself laughing because the chickens and dog were trying to play and Bella refused to look at the camera. I thought to myself, "There's no way this picture will turn out perfect, but I am okay with that. I love my little family just the way it is, chaos and all."

Every day is a new day and there is never a dull moment.

Santa Photo 2011

The kids did great with Santa this year. Bella told Santa that she had been a very good girl and smiled the whole time, and Jameson was bright eyed and bushy tailed and didn't shed one tear. I am a proud mama!
