2 Months

Cooper is two months!!

Well, he turned two months on the 3rd, which is the day I took the pictures. He's grown so much...already developing his own little personality. It's so amazing and I'm loving every minute, OK, not really every minute. There are A LOT of crazy and stressful minutes but, of course, I love both my kids like crazy.

Take a peek at my moms blog to see the three cute cousins all born within two months of each other. Such sweeties!

I had a hard time loading any pictures for my last post, I finally got one posted after a day and gave up. Now that things seam to be working better for me, here are some random pictures taken the past 2 1/2 weeks.

Cooper Carmo Bruce

I am excited to announce a new addition to our family! Cooper Carmo Bruce was born January 3rd, at 3:00 p.m.. He weighed 8 lbs 8 oz and was 20 inches long. He was born on his actual due date without being induced. How weird is that?? I was pretty sure I was going to be pregnant forever like an elephant. And being as uncomfortable as I was, each minute felt like a year. Now that he is here I can finally breathe, walk and feel a little more normal. We are all so happy he is here, even Jaxson has been pretty good. New babies are so much fun, it makes me want more kids as soon as possible. If only I wasn't so whinney while pregnant....we'd have 10 kids by now.
The name Carmo is my Grandpa's name from my moms side of the family, its Italian. Just thought I'd include this information since I get a lot of questions about it.
We love him so much!

MST3K

I can't believe it! They re-released this awesome movie in May of this year. We just bought it on DVD for only $15.00. If anyone already know this then good for you...and why didn't you tell us?

Now let me explain. This is one of the funniest movies ever! Back in the day we watched this movie, quoted this movie and lived this movie. If you haven't seen it yet then you should, although the reaction I get from a lot of people is "it's dumb". Well its not, just give it a chance. If you still don't like it then watch it 10 more times. It's seriously awesome!

I found these pictures and thought it would be fun to share. This is one of the millions of times we all got together to watch it. Do you recognize these kids??

I did it!

I made pot roast! I know this doesn't sound amazing, but trust me it is. I don't cook, never have. I make ramen noodles and mac & cheese and thats about it. September 7 was my little bros b-day and my family was all coming over for dinner. I'm pretty sure they're not ever excited about coming to my place for dinner since I usually don't have a meal planned. It ends up being pizza, or one time I made pancakes...woo hoo! So imagine their shock when they arrived to find pot roast, gravy and real mashed potatos. I like to think they were proud of me. I'm pretty sure they liked it too since they all went back for seconds. This great acomplishment could of never been done without a lot of help, of course. So thank you soooo much Mariel for the detailed instructions and the many phone conversations walking me through it.

Quick Update

Here are some of the things we've been doing...

Memories...

Remember these??...

Here's how you do it-

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.
