Hank

Today I downloaded pictures from my phone and thought I should put a few things up about Hank. He is really talking a lot now. In fact I had him enrolled for preschool at our church and just told them the other day that I will not be putting him in since he is doing so well. Maybe when he is closer to 4 I will start preschool with him. Hank for one is the best brother Cooper could ever ask for. If Cooper takes something away from Hank, Hank will just go get something else to play with, or if Hank has 2 balloons or 2 toys alike, he will always assume one of them is for Cooper and go give him one. He brings Cooper his bibs and blankets when he is upset, and tries to hug him and check on him. If Cooper is in trouble, Hank cries too and gets so upset when Cooper gets a spanking. He is so tenderhearted. Every morning when the boys eat their oatmeal, Hank runs to playroom and pulls out the bumbo for Cooper to sit in. He tells me that's "Poopers seat" and then goes and gets himself a couch pillow to sit on as his seat. It is truly just precious how sweet he is to Cooper. If you know Hank, you know he always has to have his blankie. He calls it "waywee". In the car he always wants his blanket over his head, he sits like that holding his juice for however long we are in the car. He also for some reason refers to himself as "hehe". Everything is hehe turn.

I don't know why it wouldn't let me rotate this picture, oh well

 He is loving the pool this year.






 Lydia and Rachel took him on a surf board ride.

Memorial Day Weekend

Friday was Cooper's last day of school. He got out at 10:30. We came home and the boys took a long nap. When they woke up around 2 I took them to the pool to swim. The water was a little cold, but they had so much fun playing in the water. Taking them to the pool by myself this year was so much easier compared to last year. Saturday morning I met mom in Murfreesboro to give her the boys. Zac was working all weekend, plus I had praise team and a solo Sunday morning, so I asked mom to take them so that Sunday would not be so stressful. After Zac got home from work Saturday, I was already at the pool. He came out later and laid by the pool with me. We actually laid at the adult pool which is so much more peaceful than the wild family and kiddie pool. We had so much fun being alone this weekend, we put in a movie Saturday night and then we watched another movie Sunday night since Game of Thrones didn't come on. Then this morning I slept until 10am. I haven't slept that late in a long time.  Apparently mom and Greg were having just as good of a time with the boys. Mom brought the boys home today. We went out and grabbed some BBQ and she brought home made ice cream. We took the boys to the pool for a little while and then we came in and mom headed home. Greg was having to get 2 weeks of work done at the radio station since we are heading to the Beach on Saturday. The boys also got to meet their newest cousin this weekend. Mom took them to Sparta to see Bruce. The pictures are precious, I wish I had been there to see.



 Thursday night we played outside with the boys for a while. It was a gorgeous evening.

 Ok these of Cooper and Bruce make me ready for baby number 3. So sweet.



 But then I see them piling toys on Bruce's head and I think maybe we aren't quite ready for that 3rd baby.

 He still walks with his hands behind his back as if he is at school.
 Cooper could play in the water all day
