2 just kicked in

Cooper turned 2 May 1st but being 2 has just kicked in. Last week while he and I were driving around he started practicing his "No". This is what I heard, all cooper... "yes" "NO", "yes" NOOO", "YES" "no", "yes" NNNNOOOO", "yes" "no", "yes" nnnOOOO" and on and on. He was trying out all different ways to say "no".

Say a little prayer for me....

Seeing Double

9 years ago today we had a double wedding with my brother Joel and his wife Lori. I know most of you couldn't imagine sharing Your wedding day. But we got engaged the same week and both wanted a June wedding so there ya go.
I had been single for a while and decided my only hope was to get married before my little brother. And I did, by 30 minutes. My Family and Derek's were in a sealing room upstairs and when ours was over Derek's family went out side to wait while the 2 of us and all of my family went down stairs with Lori's family to another sealing room . I think it work out well. I know Lori and I would have done some things differently if we had our own days but we were just happy to be getting married to such great guys it didn't really matter in the end. The reception was in my parents back yard and we each had 10 tables to decorate in our colors. On the cake we alternated flowers on each layer. It was a wonderful, beautiful day full of family and friends.

I am so blessed to have Derek. He is an adorable husband and I love every minute that we have together. Happy Anniversary Hun. And Happy Anniversary to Joel and Lori too!

Nuh ting

When Cooper is where I can't see him I ask "what are you doing?". Lately his answer is "Nuh ting". Nothing huh?...
This morning "nuh ting" meant he had pulled a chair over to the counter, climbed up, opened the cupboard, found the cookies, opened the zip lock bag, and licked the filling out of each one.
