This is my new official spot for remembering :)

Is it weird that Jarratt and I think it's adorable that Cooper calls his paci a "popeye" and his beloved Ikea Panda stuffed animal  a "momay" not mama but momay. What can I say, we are first time parents are 100% believe he hung the moon!

Beginning of April I left my job after 7 years at Glazer's to start working for Shades of Green. Still doing a little PT from home work for Glazer's and enjoying it but man I have been loving working at SOG more than I ever thought. Some might say it's insane to work with your dad and husband and share an "office" but I have to say that most of the time it's FUN. We get to brainstorm, give feedback, go to lunch together, dream about the future of a business we will get to own. The shine may wear off (and trust me, it's had it's moments) but for now, it's FUN so I will enjoy that too it's fullest.

Recently (by recently I mean unofficially since September) we have been trying for baby #2. It's had it's up and downs and moments of why not now and why not on my timeline but what I want to remember about this season is that feeling of truly trusting the Lord. And knowing that He has me and my family of three in His perfect plan. When I think of times that are a "measure" for my life and my walk with the Lord, it is times when I am truly (forced) to trust him and His plan that I so desire for my life. And even though it can be tough, I am so thankful for this season. I'm putting this here because this is something I absolutely want to remember and to be reminded in future seasons of life how true this felt for me to hear and know deep in my heart.

Coop is 2 in a little less than 2 weeks - he's super silly, loves life really BIG, happy go-lucky and we love him so much. He likes to scream at the top of his lungs (makes me crazy) loves his choo-choos, loves riding on tractors and gators, and loves all things paw-paw (tractors, hay bales, cows). His birthday theme will be tractors and can't think of anything more fitting for our boy.

Thankful for my life and hope I always remember that.

I'm back...

I have finally decided I must put my memories and thoughts somewhere because my brain is already not holding up it's end of the deal and I'm only 31. Hence, dusting off this ol blog...

Our Boy Coop is almost 2! Right now he loves all things tractors, trucks, and "outside"...some of his favorite words are "ohhhh, wooooow" (while holding his precious hands up to his cheeks), "uh oh", mama, dada, nana/nene, pawpaw, pop, mimi, etc etc. And he especially likes to say all his peoples names on repeat - IT'S ADORABLE! He is learning his colors (red, bue (blue), wewoohh (yellow)) and he is attempting to learn how to hold up "2"

Things he does (that I don't want to forget) - loves putting his fingers in his hears and giggling (???), loves driving down the rock road to paw paw's house, loves saying "Daisy, no, no, no", likes to swim and jump into the pool.

He's rarely into TV but seems to like Bob the Builder, he loves when music comes on to sway his hands in the air and sometimes clap "relatively on beat". His favorite books are his Thomas the Train book, his farm book with the Tractor and Haybales, Vroom Vroom and Little Blue Truck Leads the Way - notice a theme?? :)

He is truly our greatest joy and he makes us so incredibly happy to be his parents. He teaches us to enjoy life, be silly and to explore!
