Happy Easter - Our weekend

We had a very busy and eventful Easter weekend. On Thursday, Jackson and Connor, our Godchildren, came down from Nashville to spend Easter weekend with us. We always have fun with them we they are in town. Cooper loves to play with them and he thinks that he is as big as they are!! Also that night, my mom bought Cooper a special Easter present and she brought it over. His special gift was a REAL BABY DUCK! Cooper did not know what to think of it, but the twins absolutely LOVED it! On Friday morning we headed down to the Discovery Museum to let the boys play and Cooper went to his Playgym class. We had a fairly calm evening and just enjoyed hanging out with Grandma(Bev) that evening. On Saturday we went to Playworld Down Under. It is a huge indoor playground. They all had a great time, but I noticed that Cooper was acting really tired and his left eye was red and swollen. I thought that he was having a reaction to the duck, which is now gone. I called the doctor and they said give him Benedryl. I gave him some and laid him down for his nap. When he woke up, his eye was almost swollen shut and Chris and I had to pry it open. I called the doctor again and they asked me a bunch of questions and told us that we needed to get him to the T.C. Thompson's ER ASAP! I was freaking out b/c by now his eye was opening, but green junk was coming out of his eye. The lady told us to get him there within 3 hours b/c this particular infection could affect his vision. So we got there and it was a bad viral infection in his eye, but they put him on some medicine and told us to go our doctor on Monday morning. He was going to be ok!!!! By this time I was completely worn out so we went over to my dad's for dinner and to dye Easter eggs. Thanksfully the rest of our night was calm and enjoyable!! We dyed eggs and had lots of fun hanging out with Papaw (K-dog). Of course Sunday was Easter but I keep Cooper home from church just to make sure he was ok and not contagious. He seemed to be fine so we ate lunch and headed to our family Easter egg hunt! Wow, I know that this is a long blog, but I just wanted everyone to know how crazy, but fun weekend we had!!!

What a cute bunch of guys!!

This is the baby duck that my mom "Nana" got Cooper for Easter. It was very cute, but Chris was allergic to it, so we had to take it back. I was very thankful we could take it back, b/c on Thurdsay night, that duck quacked all night and Maggie our dog tried to eat it more than once. On a funny note, Cooper has a motorized train that the duck would follow around the track qaucking. I guess he thought it was following it's mother like all ducks do. He also followed Cooper around the house and Cooper did not like this at all. He would run away from it saying, "No No Quack Quack!!!" It was very funny!!

Cooper was not crazy about the duck, but we convienced him to hold it for just a minute so that I could take a picture!

Well that about wraps up our weekend. I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter with your families! Have a great week!

Easter Party at school

On Thursday Cooper had an Easter party at his preschool. They hunted eggs,

had cupcakes and the Easter Bunny made an appearance. They all had lots of fun!!

My cute little bunny!!

As you can see, Cooper was not a fan of the Easter Bunny. I had to bribe him to stand their long enough to get this picture. As soon as I took the picture, he ran to me and said, "No No Hop Hop!!"

Overall, I thought the party was cute and the kidos seemed to enjoy their special party. They were all so excited to open their Easter eggs. It was very cute!

Easter Egg Hunt

On Sunday our church had a wonderful Easter egg hunt. Despite the rain, we all had a great time and the children seemed to be enjoying themselves! Cooper liked the eggs for about 2 minutes and then he found an egg with a sucker inside. Once he found that egg, his hunting was over!! I had to bribe him to find some more eggs so I could take some more pictures. It is crazy the things that parents do just to get a couple of cute pictures!!

Our visit with Aunt JuJu

Well, again Blogger would not let me post any pictures this week. Finally I decided to get on Chris' laptop and try! Yeah, it finally worked!!!!

We had a great time with Julie and Cooper was very happy to see her! Julie was very excited that he knew who she was and could finally say her name!! She is always practicing JuJu with him. I think that they really bonded this past weekend! We got there Friday afternoon and met Julie at her apartment after she got off from work. We then took a walk around the campus(University of Virginia) and it is beautiful!! Cooper loved running through all of the open fields and watching the college kids play frisbee and football. We ate at Julie's place that night and several of her friends came over to see Cooper. Of course he put on a show for them!! On Saturday we walked around downtown and Cooper found a fountain to throw all of our money into! I think that he emptied all of our pockets in about 5 minutes. We had a wonderful dinner that night and then had some yummy ice cream! We headed out Sunday morning since we had a 7-8 hour drive ahead of us! I have to say that Cooper did great on the ride home!!! Even though it was a short time with Julie, it was great to get to spend some time with her!

I really needed some rest after our weekend trip, but of course Cooper was ready to go as usual!! We met up with our playgroup on Monday at Heritage Park. He was very excited to see his friends! It is so nice that he has friends his age that he can play with every week!

Hopefully I will not have trouble this week posting pictures!

Until next time.... have a great week!!

Playing baseball on UVA's campus. I think that he was inspired by all

of the college kids playing ball! Thanks for helping Daddy!

Headed to see Aunt JuJu

Well, we are heading to Virginia tonight to see my sister (Aunt JuJu) as she is now called around our house. It is a long trip, but we are spliting it up, so hopefully it will not be too bad! We have not seen Julie since Christmas, so we are all very excited about our visit. Hope that everyone has a great weekend and that you enjoy this beautiful weather!!

Just Swinging

What beautiful weather we have had lately! We decided to take advantage of

it while we have the chance!

Beautiful Weather

Sorry it has taken so long to post new pictures, but I think that Blogger has been messed up. Oh well, at least it is working now!

On Sunday, we all came home and took a nap. When Cooper woke up from his nap, we decided that it was to pretty to stay inside so we ate a snack and headed outside. It was so beautiful!! Cooper decided to help his Daddy wash Mommy's car. He thought that it was funny to spray the water everywhere!

This picture is from Monday at the park. We meet up with our playgroup at Vandergriff Park. What a great park!! Cooper saw his friend Meghyn sitting on the bench and he thought he should go and join her.

Cooper riding his John Deere Gator. He loves riding it down our driveway! It is cute to see him get so excited about this, but it makes me nervous!! I guess I am going to have to get used to this since Cooper will have a brother to teach all of these things too!
