Friday Finally

This morning the boys and I were at Nissan at 8am. We were there for almost 2 hours while my car got checked out. There was a little kid area where Cooper ran around. Today thankfully they took naps. They are still sick but at least they slept. As we ran errands today I was listening to our rehearsal CD for our Christmas program at church. After every scene/solo, the audience claps on the CD. Cooper was in the back seat clapping after every song. It was so funny. The crowd clapped and he would clap. When Zac came home we sat out in the yard and blew bubbles. It was really windy and the bubbles would fly all around Cooper.

 I bathed the boys together and Hank peed up in the air which got Cooper really interested in that "thing" that was spraying water. I distracted him with a duck.  BOYS

 Hank can get himself wrapped up in anything within a matter of seconds. Look at those fat gams.....I love em.

 It's hard to get pictures of, but Cooper puts his Titans hat on daily. He wears it around the house like it's just a part of his outfit.

Little Cutie

This morning I woke up with two sick boys. This is also day two with no naps. You can imagine I'm going a tad bit mental. Cooper and I blew bubbles until I almost passed out and then went to Wal Mart to buy more bubbles. He can now say and sign bubbles. It's quite precious. Then we had therapy. There is a little boy at therapy that keeps bullying Cooper. Well today the mama bear came out in me. His mother is never around, she sits out in the hospital waiting area and lets her kids play in the therapy waiting area. Today I had enough and grabbed that kid by the arm and told him he is not to touch Cooper again and is to share. The next time it happens I will go get his mother and chew her out as well. It just kills me to see people push Coop around. I also had the interpreter talk to his mother. After that we came home and Cooper played and I tried for about 2 1/2 hours to get Hank to sleep. I failed by the way.  After supper I cleaned the kitchen and went for a good 2 1/2 mile run. I feel much less stressed now!!

This sweet little guy is trying to crawl

Crazy Week

So far this week has been go go go. Thankfully therapy is cancelled for Friday and I don't even have to leave the house!! Monday of course we had a teis eval and lunch with the little adopted girls, yesterday we had therapy and a boy in our youth group passed away so Zac went to the service, then as soon as he got back I went to Franklin to meet the OMC girls for our ever so often outing. I brought Hank along so that they  could meet him. He was fairly behaved but really sleepy. Then today we got up and headed to Hendersonville to meet Liz, Marci and Dawn for lunch at blue coast. I had Ds rings to deliver to them as well. My boys were awful. They both cried and whined. It was stressful but good to see everybody. I pretty much crammed food in my mouth and then left. As of right now Hank is in his crib screaming. He has not napped at all today. Not at all.....I can't stress that enough. Church nursery here we come!!!!! hahaha.

Becky, Edie, Tracie, Rhonda and Hank. He loved the girls. Just smiled at them!!

 Hank.... most likely trying to eat Carter

News on Hankerson....he pretty much can go anywhere he wants. He is as of yesterday 5 months. He rolls front to back and back to front and gets into the crawling position. He still hates tummy time. He moves himself all over our playroom and will grab the toy that he wants. Still teething pretty bad. Still cries a lot but also has tons of smiles. Laughs when you tickle his arm pit or under his chin.

( He is still upstairs screaming. He is now gagging himself thinking I will come to him. Stubborn)

Catch Up Monday

Well I have a ton of pictures on my camera that I just now loaded onto the computer. Which means I need to catch up on my blogging. Saturday I went consignment sale shopping all day with Gretchen while Zac watched the boys and Sunday we went to church. Sunday night I decided to bring Cooper to church with us. The children were leading the service and singing. Well every time the children got on stage to sing, Cooper would stand up in my lap and try to do the signs that they were doing. He had his hands waving in the air and tried to do everything the kids were doing. I cannot wait until Cooper is children's choir. I'll love seeing him on stage (I'm sure it will be an amusing show for the church as well). This morning Cooper had a TEIS assessment and then we went out to eat with a friend. She called me and said hey do you want to meet at the "CHEESECAKE FACTORY" hahaha, I said, um did you not read my post about me blowing chunks all over that place. Well, we met them and this time I redeemed myself. Hank however did not, he peed through his clothes and had to dine in a diaper. So the people we ate out with.....Do you remember for Cooper's birthday we raised money to help a couple adopt two girls with Down Syndrome? Well this is them!! I was so excited to see the girls and spend some time with them. I walked in and they both ran at me and jumped into my arms and gave me a huge hug. I'm so thankful for them and that they were adopted by a great christian family. Cooper loved running around with them too!!

 I also noticed a tooth of Coopers has popped through. I saw it at lunch when he was laughing.

The boys at Mom's and Cyndi's

Here are pictures of the other days the boys spent in Manchester.

 Cooper loves to do laundry. I have found many strange toys in the washer and dryer that he sneaks in.
