The Candy House...

no, we aren't describing our house over the Easter holiday.  My great-aunt is a nun, and she runs a candy house called Candy for Caring in Louisville.  All the money they make goes to charity....and if you like chocolate that makes for a win-win situation.  While we were in KY we made his first visit to the candy house where he was mobile and that I would let him taste the goods.  :)  He loved his visit (as evidenced by his chocolate lips---which weren't too bad since I think he hardly let any chocolate escape his mouth).  Well, I would hate to overwhelm any of the Coop-fans out there....so I will wait to post any other pictures.  :)   I will leave on this note---  hardly a moment passes in any day where I don't think to myself "I am the luckiest woman on Earth to be blessed with such an incredible, sweet, funny, smart, and handsome baby boy.  God is so good!".

We love Spring!

Cooper and I made a trip to KY around Easter which was my Spring Break while the big kids and Matt stayed around the house and had their own fun!   The weather was absolutely beautiful the entire time we were there....the one storm was really short lived.  For anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of meeting Cooper in person---he is ALL BOY.  He loves the outdoors and isn't afraid of much of anything.  He is also getting harder and harder to take a picture of because he doesn't stay in one spot for too long....he's always running!  Cooper loved the pond and 'fishes'....and was fascinated with this colorful frog on a bike...

'mallows...

A certain someone....shares my love of marshmallows.  Sure it's not the best thing to like, but it certainly can't be the worst thing out there either, right???  And since he loves 'mallows he naturally is a big fan of Peeps.  On Easter we were in KY and there was a "community basket" on the table....I found him "pink handed" on a chair at the table with a beheaded Peep.
