May 2012

I had a break from school for most of May, with the exception of one online Math class. It was so nice to spend some extra time with the boys and David in the evenings and to not worry about as much homework during the day or at night. 

This was how I spent my mornings when Cooper was at preschool and Carter was napping - letting the sunshine in while doing my online Math class with a coffee and smelling the flowers my boys got me for Mother's Day. 
Cooper's preschool went on a field trip to a local grocery store. He had so much fun seeing what is done behind the scenes. 









He also had preschool pictures taken and they turned out so cute!

We try to do fun things on the days that he doesn't have preschool. For this one we put baking soda in a pie pan and then put some vinegar and food coloring in little bowls. He had so much fun using a dropper and watching what happened when he put some of the red and green vinegar in the baking soda.  


Carter continues to climb... 
He now climbs into the walker by himself, even though he is way too big for the walker. We also have to keep the dining room chairs pushed in or he tries to climb onto the table.    





Cooper played t-ball and did great!  







We went to Spokane and ran in the Bloomsday 12K again. This year David and I both barely missed our goal times (mine by just seconds and his by less than 3 minutes!) We were really proud of ourselves though and are both excited to run it again next year. 

Cooper has started to really become a great big brother!

Carter is such a handful! If there is something to get into, he finds a way! 

 



Tucker got neutered. 

This is what Cooper wore to the mall on a hot spring day: rain boots, shorts, and a tank top. 

 We spent a lot of time outside enjoying the hot Spring weather. 





 






 







Our garden started to grow! 

David and my Dad took the boys to see the "Big Rigs" at the park. Cooper loved seeing all the tractors.  
















My awesome Uncle BJ made a built in window seat with storage for our game room. It looks so good and really helps provide organization for all of the boys' toys and extra seating.

The boys are getting so big! 


May was so warm this year that my parents even took the boat out a few times. It's always fun when Casey joins us with her boat and we get a beach for the day.








Cooper had to have some dental work done and had to be put under for it. It was hard for me to see him waking up from it, but he did really well and the doctors were great. They made Big Ducky "fall asleep" too and Cooper thought it was pretty cool that Big Ducky got to wear an oxygen mask just like him.
