Preschool - Here I Come!!

Today was Cooper's first day of Preschool! He was very excited this morning and he could not wait to go and play with all of his friends!! He was very proud of his new "horse" backpack. He looks so big wearing it!!

Smiling for Mom (only b/c I told him if he smiled, he could go play at school!!)


After we told Mrs. Gillian (his teacher) hello, Cooper quickly found some toys to play with!
I must say that this year was MUCH better than last years first day of school. When I left him last year, we BOTH were crying! This year neither one of us were crying! I knew that he was ready to get back to school and see all of his freinds, so this made it easier for me to send him without getting upset! I know that he will have a great year!

More Weekend Fun

Chris, Cooper and Hudson chillin' out Saturday after swiming at Nana's house!

Aunt Amy and Brian were in town this weekend so we meet them Saturday night for dinner! We ate at Niko's Southside Grill (YUMMY!!) and then went over to Coolidge Park. Of course Cooper rode the carousel and then wanted to watch all of the boats. We took this opportunity to have a family picture! I think it turned out fairly well!

The whole family!!


Amy we hope to see you and Brian again soon! Thanks for coming home this weeknd!

More New Pixs!

I LOVE this picture of Hudson! I looks like he is in deep thought! I wish I knew what he was thinking!! (10 days old)

As you can see, we finally broke down and cut Cooper's hair. Actually I guess I should say "trimmed" his hair. When we got there and she said "How much do yo want me to cut?" I said "Barely anything!!" We had such a BAD experience last time, that I was afraid to cut it too much. Anyways, she did a wonderful job and it really does look so much better! Cooper was such a big boy!!! Hudson at 13 days old!


My two boys! Aren't they cute!!!

HUDSON IN HERE!!!!

Well we are now a family of 4!! Hudson Christopher Jones joined our family at 2:08 Thursday afternoon! He weighed 8lbs., 11oz. and was 21 inches long! Everyone is doing great and he is such a blessing to our family! Cooper is doing really well with him and is constantly wanting to hug and kiss him! He loves his baby brother! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband and two great children! Life with two kids is great, but it is already a big adjustemnt! I just want to say a big thank you to all of our family and friends who have helped us out! We could not have gotten through this week without you all!!

This is the first time Cooper saw his baby brother!

The proud BIG BROTHER!!


My "3" favorite men!!!


This is one of my favorite pictures of Hudson!! Isn't he cute!!

Our new family of 4!!

The day we came home from the hospital!!

Just chillin!!

So, who do you think he looks like?

I will try to post more pictures soon (once I get a little more rest!)

Hudson's Nursery!

Well, we have some good baby news!! I went to the doctor on Monday and he said that Hudson could come at any time now, but just in case he doesn't we planned an induction for Thursday morning at 7:30!! It is hard to believe that he will be here in 2 days or less! We are very excited, but a little apprehensive too!!! Our worlds are about to totally change! Please keep us in your prayers over the next couple of days! When everything settles down, I will post some pictures of our new family! Hope everyone is doing well!!

Also, we finally got the nursery finished!!! I thought you may want to see what it looks like!

Now we are just waiting on Hudson!!!!

More pool time!

Chris and I took this picture a week ago. I think that it is so funny! I keep giving Chris a hard time telling him that the weight gaining is now supposed to taper off, but as you can see on both of us, it hasn't!!! Chris would die if he knew I posted this picture! HA!Cooper loves swimming in his new floatie! I know that it is so ugly, but it works GREAT!!! He can swim all over the pool by himself. It is so much better that having to hold him the entire time we are in the pool!

Happy 4th!!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! We started celebrating on Sunday with our annual bike parade at church. There were so many cute wagons, bikes, scooters, etc. Cooper loved watching all of the kids ride around in their red, white and blue!! The following pictures are from Pops in th Park. Every year the symphony

plays a free concert and then there are wonderful fireworks following the

concert. As you can see in the background, it was very crowded. We meet

up with a big group from church and had a great time!Cooper decided that he needed to salute the flag too when they played the National Anthem.

(he did this on his own once he saw everyone else doing it!)

Mommy and Cooper

Madison and Cooper (This is a little girl from our church that Cooper absolutely loves!!)

Aren't they cute!

Patiently waiting for the fireworks!

Our patriotic family!
