Mr. Personailty

This is my lil guy! Lately I cant get Cooper to wear real clothes for the life of me! Its a battle I am not willing to fight right know! I figure come July we will wiggle our way back into really clothes. For some reason the last few months Cooper literally hides from the camera! I can take countless pictures of Allison, but none of Cooper. Well, Richard was able to take this picture, its a little dark but it totally captures Cooper personality!

Top 5

Our little family has been super busy these past few months know that things have slowed down a bit I have actually had time to take it all in! My sweet husband is a college graduate, my daughter is about to finish her kindergarten school year, I have a 6 year old, I don't want to jinx it but Cooper almost has potty training down, and on Monday Richard starts with Chevron! Richard turned in his notice early at his previous job so he could have a week off before starting with Chevron. I have made a long list of things for us to accomplish this week and my sweet husband gets right to it without hesitation or complaint. I love that man! Some days you have time to reflect on things that are happening or have happened in your life and I guess today is one of those days for me. I decide to make a top five list of my day! Oh and enjoy a picture of my darling daughter in her new swimsuit!

Soccer games and a Graduation party!

Today was a full day!!! We started our morning bright and early at a 9am soccer game. It was cold and windy! But despite the weather our girls played assume we won our game 10-0, and my Alli-cat scored 5 goals!! Cooper even joined in on the team huddles. We stopped for some toy shopping, Allison got spend some of her birthday money. Then we ate lunch and went to our last game of the season!! The weather was much nicer it was actually a lil hot at some points! The girls played another great game 10-1, and my super star daughter scored 3 goals! What a wonderful season, so proud of our little team and so proud of Richard he was a fantastic coach!!!!!!!!!!

I spent the next few hours cleaning and cooking to prepare for Richard's graduation party that we were hosting at our home. What a success! WE had tons of delicious food and lots of family to enjoy it with! And Richard enjoyed his graduation gifts and cookie cake!

Richards Graduation

Today Richard graduated!!!! We started this endeavor January of 2010 and here we are May of 2011 and Richard is finished! I just cant believe it! I am so proud of Richard. What an accomplishment. He has worked so hard especially this semester with working full time, going to school full time, coaching a soccer team, and being a father and husband! I love you Richard, you did it and may I add all A's all three semesters!

Preschool

Yesterday I signed up Cooper for the 3 year old program at Heritage Preschool!! I am sending Cooper to the same preschool I sent Allison to. I am excited for this new adventure for Cooper, but a little sad too! I know Cooper could use the social skills and atmosphere. But this year while Allison has been in Kindergarten, Cooper and I have had tons of alone bonding time together. I cant believe that this fall Allison will be a first grader and Cooper will be in preschool, my babies are growing up!

Crafts

Becoming a mother as brought out skills in me I didn't know I had, I am crafty!!! Every once in a while for special events, or birthdays, mothers day etc I have taken on the task to create something for a gift! For my sisters graduation and for mothers day my sister Courtney and I took on a few craft gifts. My sister Courtney bought the Martha Stewart craft book and we found a few ideas we decide to take on. And it was no easy job, it took us a few days on each gift. So I thought I would post pictures of each gift. The decorative pot was for my mother and the picture holder was for my sister.

Saturday activities

On Saturday my sister graduated with her Masters!!! It was a wonderful day together, its been awhile since we've been by are selves. We were all kidless and enjoyed some adult time. I couldn't be more proud of my sister, she has worked really hard to get to this point. I took a ton of pictures and videos of the graduation. During the graduation Allison had a soccer game, first one I missed of the season. My baby girl scored 6 goals!! After the graduation we all headed to Osaka's for lunch!! The day didn't end there I got to celebrate my mothers day a day early! Richard took me shopping and then to dinner and a movie. It was a full, but a fabulous Saturday!
