Jayce Cooper is getting hair

Finally, Jayce has a little bit of hair. Here are some pictures of him in the bathtub the other night. We spiked his hair! He thought it was pretty funny.

PRESCHOOL!! WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?

In the beginning of September, Mac will start preschool at Christ Our Savior. He will go on Monday and Wednesday mornings. He is so excited. His teachers made a home visit to our house last Monday and he has not stopped talking about going off to school. We did some school shopping and he got a new Spider Man backpack and some new clothes to start the year off. Unlike all the girls he will not model them, in fact this is the best picture we could get of him in his new clothes with his new haircut. He is not one for getting his picture taken! Anyways, I can't believe he is starting school and is going to be 4 years old in a couple of months. I feel like he was just born! Oh yeah, one more thing, ever since his teachers have stopped by he has stopped using his pacifier at night. He was only using at night but after his teachers left the house he told me he was all done. Thank god!

WEEK WITH GRANDMA BARB!

Tired out from a long day on the boat!


Mac and Jayce on their island!

Mac and Jayce spent a week with my mom up in Traverse City. Dawn, our daycare provider, was on vacation, so my mom offered to take the boys for the week. They had a great time on the boat and beach. They even caught a Beach Bums game. (Traverse Cities baseball team.) Carly spent the week in Traverse helping my mom out. I think at the end of the week everyone was tired out! Thanks for helping out you guys!! The boys had a riot!

EXPECTING AGAIN!!!!!

Sorry, we have not posted in awhile. I have been feeling kinda yucky, because, we are expecting again. I am 14 weeks along and we will welcome our new family member sometime at the end of January or the beginning of February. We are super excited and waited awhile to tell talk about it. We were a little nervous at first because of what happened the last time, but everything looks great so far. I have had some morning sickness but not as bad as when I was pregnant for Jayce. I don't like to feel icky, but it is a good sign that everything is going ok. I have already had an ultrasound and we heard the babies heart beat, it was really strong. At my 12 week visit the heartbeat was 164. We decided not to find out if this baby was a boy or girl, we are just hoping for a healthy baby, boy or girl. Although, it would be nice to have a baby girl. Mac said he thinks it is a girl. I feel like it will be another boy. Either way we are super excited to have a new baby and and a new family member. Boy or girl, this will be our last baby, so I am trying to enjoy it, even with all the sickness. Hopefully it will be over soon!

Jayce Cooper!!! Whata Cutie!

I have every Wednesday off from work, this past Wednesday, my mom was at her college roomates cottage in St. Joe, right on Lake Michigan. Mac, Jayce and I went up and spent the day there. We had a ton of fun playing on the beach and relaxing in the sun. In the morning it was cool but by the end of the day it was bright and sunny. Mac loved the sand bar and so did Jayce. Thanks for a fun day in the sun, Mom!

T-Ball

WHATA HIT!!!!

For the last 6 weeks Mac and all of his buddies have played on a T-Ball team and the YMCA. Mac loves it. He is getting really good, he can bat both left and right handed, he is still a little better with his left but so far he is quite a switch hitter. Last week was his last week and he was really bumbed out, I think we are going to sign him up for another session.

Jayce loves to get up onto the step stool in the bathroom and brush his teeth. He likes to watch himself in the mirror. When Mac is brushing his teeth he tries to push Mac down so he can get up. I guess it is time to get another step stool for Jayce.
