Fought the Good Fight.

Today is Pink Day at school.  To support this amazing lady.

My first year teaching was hard.  Coop was 12 weeks old when I started and I dragged him everywhere with me.  Sometimes I felt left out and young in the midst of all the amazing and experienced teachers at my school.
Paula always treated me like an important member of our faculty family.  She taught the FACS class so she even had me bring Coop in to talk to her class about new babies.  She invited me back last year to talk about pregnancy.

She is amazing and positive.

Four years ago she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer.  

Last night her journey on this earth ended.  

She leaves behind her young family and our School Family.

Good-bye Paula

Guess What??

Jacks just cut his first tooth

... Right now.... 

This very second!!!!

Crazy

Can YOU handle the CUTENESS??

Introducing Cooper-Man and Super-Jack

I have discovered the graphics department at the High school and had so much fun making these treasures!!

Exactly 3 Years Ago

I always think it is funny when people say how much Jacks and Coop look alike.

I Say: Not so much!!

Here is Jacks and Coop at the exact same age.

Definitely still Brothers though.

@ 5 Months

Jacks:

Is sitting up all by himself

Might be getting a tooth if the larger than usual amount of drool is any indication.
Not to mention the fussiness.....

Coop:

Has had his first before the parade experience that involved Lightening McQueen

Has also ridden in his first parade. He did awesome and threw all his candy like a champ.

Conference Weekend

Yesterday we loaded up the boys and went up the mountain to scope out the colors....
Look at  all the GREEN

 So we stopped at a lake and threw some rocks

 Posed for some super cute pictures

 On the way down the mountain we found some pretty leaves by the side of the road.. Both the boys were asleep so we took a picture of JUST US!

The colors will probably be better next weekend, but we had a nice drive all the same.

I have an addiction

I am just crazy about self portraits with my boys.  There are more of me and Jacks than Coop, because Jacks can't run away!! Mwa HA Ha
Coop and Daddy even get in on the action!
