THE BIGGEST GRASSHOPPER EVER

this is who came to play with the boys on saturday...

he's pretty impressive...

he hung out for a while, took a break on a tree and then was done!

nate really wanted him to climb onto his stick...

this guy was much luckier than the cricket from last week, he got cremated in the fire...

COFFEE WITH COOPS

mom & i headed off to the cultural district for some coffee & shopping...

i'm so blessed to live by mom again; i spent 15 years in houston and missed her so much!

actually we did more visiting and taking pics than anything else...

love you mom;)

Jaguars

they are on a team together...

nate poses before his first big game!

it's been 2 years in the making for this little goalie... here's his first stop!

& his first score...

my favorite high five i've ever gotten!

can you believe how big?

his first time with brother out on the big field was a little confusing but he did a great job and i swear was the cutest little soccer player i've ever seen (he runs just like his daddy)...

skills... hee hee!

they are both in this pic... christopher is #3... i love the HUGE shorts...

stay tuned... christopher told me he wants to make 4 goals the next game!

Coops & Me

if you haven't met coops, let me tell you a little about this little angel...

he's learned to cough to get your attention...

he's the perfect mixture of spunky & cuddly...

he loves to be kissed & apricots are the rage these days...

chris & i knew i would never go back to "work" while these sweet little ones are finding the world...

my days are full of firsts and sometimes i hope it's the last of something but all in all i am so full of gratitude for the moments i will never get back...

to all the moms out there who have sacrificed like only moms do... isn't it an amazing journey?

Nate's Frog

the other day we found a frog buried at mom's in the dirt... nate adopted him right away telling him he was going to keep him "safe"...

and he did... he was still safe when he avoided being stepped on...



when he finally jumped in the bushes i think he was really safe!

Superman's Newtos

nate's favortie pjs (that he wears around the house ALL the time) and his bag of "newtos"...

what you can't see is his cape in the back...

i swore before i had kids that they would never run around in their underware or cheesy superhero stuff... never say never!

today must have been a no pants day!

Cardinal Coops

i think coops looks like christopher's favortie bird...

what do you think?
