New Start To The End

I am finally done with my projects for my class, Education 215. It has been a long 14 weeks, but a fun and inspirational one at that. I have learned a lot and have been able to explore different areas and ideas in the world of teaching. A big thank you goes out to my boys...without your support these past weeks, I would still be working on these projects. I am doing all of this for you!
Tonight I had my friend Ashley stop over to give Brewer and me a haircut...we were both in need of a cut! Brewer sat like a champ while she trimmed up his new do. The only part he wasn't fond of was when she went down his hair with the squirt bottle. He looks like a new man! And I had decided that it was time to do another donation to Locks of Love. Tonight, I was able to donate a 10 inch pony tail. Here is me with my new do...it couldn't have come at a better time either with the hot weather that we have been having! I love it!

Our Picasso!

Here is Brewer's debut as Picasso! Armed with washable markers and a piece of paper taped to the table, he manages to get every square inch of the paper and the table within an arms reach! Its a good thing that the markers are washable...

and Brewer is too!

Sick Day

Cooper is sick AGAIN! Last Monday, he went in to see Dr. Gerlach because he had another sore throat. She said it was Strep throat and gave him an antibiotic. Over the course of the week, he seemed to perk back up to his old self. But on Sunday afternoon, it was another story. He had been saying that his tummy was hurting, but we were thinking it was the medicine taking its toll on his stomach so we thought nothing of it. We were eating dinner over at Grandma and Grandpa's when he disappeared and we heard the dreadful noise...it was time for us to go home. He was up three times total during the night but then perked up again. Good thing I had off on Monday! Back to school we went to school on Tuesday. When we got home, he was complaining that his head hurt, and when I felt his forehead he was hot...102.6 hot. So we are home today to rest and get better.

Brewer has been giving his big brother lots of hugs this morning. He even found Cooper's favorite Bakugan! Now that's brotherly love!
Before Daddy went to work this morning, he ran to Walgreens to get us some more Tylenol to get us through the day. In the bag there was a new Bakugan in hopes to bring a smile to Cooper's face. He was pretty happy but didn't jump out of bed to get it...a sure sign that he is not feeling like himself! Hopefully he will start feeling better this afternoon after a good rest.


His two Bakugan's rolled up in a ball. When they get dropped or you place them onto the card, they pop out to be...

Boys and their toys!

Brewer's Eighteen Month Check Up

Brewer had his eighteen month check up on April 16th (yes, this is out of order)! He weighed in at 24.8 pounds (25th Percentile) and is 33.5 inches tall ( 75th Percentile). Overall Doctor Gerlach was impressed with his growth and was happy to see him healthy and talking. We are jumping, talking, running, and exploring our world all around us!

Mother's Day

I was the luckiest Mom in the world today!! I was treated like a princess! I got these beautiful flowers and two awesome cards. The one Cooper and Brewer picked out is two kids fighting in the backseat saying "are we there yet?" I was also able to spend the day with my Mom, Grandma, and Randy's Mom. We had a great lunch together, but the company was what made the day so special... Happy Mother's Day!!

Arrg! Our Pirate!

During "X" week in Preschool, Cooper's class was talking about Pirates for "X Marks the Spot." He had a great time this week on his adventure...he picked out a pirate name "ParrotBobEvil", made a pirate's hat and eyepatch and brought home a "talking bird." How exciting it would be to be in preschool again!

A Rare Moment

It is a rare moment when both boys want to crawl up in Daddy's lap to read a story! This is priceless!
