Happy July 4th!





We spend the 4th in Grace with Deardens and Kenny's family, and three of Karen's girls. We had a great time going to the parade in Soda, playing at the geiser, and doing a few illegal fireworks at mom and dad's house.
While at the geiser, the wind shifted and Mindy, Mom, Zack, and I got stuck against a fence with our backs to a wall of water. I was trying to keep Zack from getting soaked and all three of us were so caught off guard that we didn't think to try to run out of the shower. The men all laughed at us. Rude.
Fireworks in Grace were fun. Cadence preferred watching from the couch, inside the t.v. room, behind one set of glass doors and a window. She was a little nervous of Grandpa's pyrotechnics. I think we all were (except for Kenny), but she was still little enough to admit it.

Sounds like a fun Fourth of July! I always love seeing pictures of your kids. And how exciting to think that next month there will be another cutie that joins!

Do you even remember me?

I'm super far behind on my blog, so this should be interesting.  Will I stick with it?  Probably. . . or not.  But I hope because I have too much to be thankful for to keep it all to myself.  So, this is an update since last OCTOBER when I last posted an entry here.  No picture for now.  No time! About us as of late-ish. . .    JJ-  He's 35 and he goes to work everyday.  He has crappy knees.  But he is a gem.  He's a hard worker and a marvelous dad. He moved us into a new house that we love in April.  We are still close to our old neighborhood and get to see old friends a lot.  It's great.   April-  That's me.  I  am a headless chicken.  But not right now because I have two kids napping, one at a friend's house, and one at school.  That is why I am blogging!  I am taking classes online to earn my elementary ed degree so I can start a preschool next fall.  I'm pretty excited about that.  Pretty awesome.  I hate math and I'm not good at it.  I'm sort

Cooper is here!!!

And never mind that he is sitting up on my lap playing with a chew toy. He's just such a fun little boy that all my free time goes to playing with him (and not blogging)! Since he is nearly four months old and I haven't had a single post about him, this entire entry is dedicated to our favorite baby in the world. Cooper's Creed I will only have blowouts when it's convenient for mom, like when she's blogging. I will sleep really well through the night, but only after I do one or two fakeouts. I will keep you guessing about my eye color for at least 3 and 3/4 months. I will grow like a weed. I will be the size of a nine month old when I'm three months old. I will not barf too much. I will give a big adorable smile to anyone who looks in my direction. I may scream at the top of my lungs if I feel that someone should be looking at me, but as soon as I get some attention, I will coo and kick my feet. I will be a snuggle bug. Instead of laughing I will hold my brea
