We're still here...

I know! It's been almost 2 months since my last post. 2 months! I have no real excuse except that I am addicted to Pinterest and Words With Friends. Every time I get on the computer I play on those two things and by the time I realize it...it's time for bed. I promise I will start doing better....well, maybe!

Anyway, things have been going full speed ahead as usual around here. The boys are doing great!

We signed Evan up for Pre-K for next year which I can not believe! Seriously, where has 4 years gone? :( He is really a joy to be around lately. He has the biggest heart and is so passionate about everything. He LOVES his big brother and does everything he can to be like Cohen. He likes to play video games like his Bubba and is becoming addicted to our iPhone! We have purchased several games for him (educational ones of course) and he is doing so well with them. He finally settled down and learned his shapes and colors and is now interested in letters, numbers and words! YAY! He is one smart booger! One tiny booger that is......so tiny! He barely eats enough for a flea and is just so petite. Cooper is actually beginning to pass him in size! He does have a BIG belly though and loves to play Pop the Pig----he pushes out his belly and has someone poke it and say "POP"!

See.....
Cohen is still excelling in school. Everything just comes so easy and natural for him. He just needs one lesson on it and he's got it. He reads like nobody's business and remembers everything! It really blows my mind and I see and hear kids read all day! We just finished up basketball and will start baseball practice this weekend. We are on the Indians this year and I am so excited about it. It is an amazing group of Christian people who really give back to the community and I can't wait to be part of it!

Cooper.....Well, Cooper is now TWO! Everything he says and does screams "TWO YEAR OLD HERE". I asked him the other day, "where is my sweet boy" and he pointed across the room to Evan. I said "are you my sweet Coop?" He said, "no, I two!" Yep, he's got that right. What a little spit fire he as become. He will just look at you and do what he knows is wrong! You know like that kid who holds his finger 1 millimeter from the object and says "I'm not touching it" just to annoy you? That's Cooper right now! I know my sweet, sweet boy is still in there, he's just covered up with a two year old right now! He does slip up sometimes and enthrall us with his super sweetness. He has such and imagination and we love to watch him play. He cooks, cuts hair, grills, and plays "baby". And man can he clean. He is the best cleaner ever. And he doesn't stop. He will clean all day. He loves to vacuum, dust, and wipe the floors. Before you ask....yes, I let him. I let him clean as much as he wants!

So that's what we are up to right now!

I promise...I'll be back before 2 more months!
