      You would think Cooper is my first child. Today I left my coffee sitting on the countertop unattended. I mistakenly thought it was safe since he couldn’t reach it. Well, at least it he couldn’t reach it without help. He pushed a chair to the counter and spilled my coffee all over the freshly…

    Mckenzie was home from school today. She wasn’t feeling well, but she was feeling good enough to bake with her easy bake oven. She (along with a little help from Cooper) made chocolate chip cookies with chocolate frosting. She loves to use her easy bake oven. I, on the other hand, don’t and would much…

    Cooper’s hair was getting a little long so I took him in for his second haircut. He hated it just as much as his first cut and wouldn’t sit in the cute airplane chair by himself. He did sit on my lap though and we were able to get a decent cut. I am looking…

      I got the boy a new hat today and he actually left it on long enough to grab a photo of him. He is getting to be so big! When in the world did my baby go? After bath tonight, I told Cooper it was time for him to go to bed. He grabbed…

    I have no idea why I ever take the time to build this racetrack for the boy. He drives his cars for a couple of minutes and then he pulls the track apart, piece by piece, with the biggest smile on his face. I guess that’s why I do it. His smiles melt my heart…

    The boy doesn’t sit still for long, but he will watch Frozen with his big sister 🙂 He LOVES Olaf and calls him by the name “O-lo”.

    Some people may share what Santa stuffed into their stockings. Around here, we share what the boy shoves up his nose. I have no idea what his fascination with sticking things in his nose or his ears is, but I hope it is a stage he outgrows soon 🙂

        It was a crafting kind of day around here. Paper snowflakes, paper guns (Mckenzie just had to make a gun after hubby showed her the video of me learning to shoot a gun today) and rainbow loom bracelets. The kids thought I was super cool when I made them each a ladder bracelet.…

    The kids wanted to play outside today. It was a little too chilly for me, but Scott happily agreed to take them out. I was outside long enough to snap a photo and then I headed back into the warmth of the house. We had a pretty chill day. I took the girls to see…
