Caden

Three years ago today my life changed forever, for the better! Three years ago today you made me a mommy. That day when I first met you and held you, I knew I was in trouble. You have my heart completely wrapped in your tiny little hands. You were such an amazing little baby, always content and such an independent little guy (you are still too independent for my liking, I want to baby you). You have grown into such a sweet little boy with the silliest little grins. You have such an amazing personality and a contagious laugh. You bring such joy and happiness into our lives. You love your brothers and try to take care of them (I have NO idea where all that bossiness comes from ;)- !).

At three years old, you are just now getting the hang of potty training and have been doing a great job this past week. Today you wore you Elmo underwear all day for the first time even when we left the house and you stayed dry all day! You love to sing and dance and you LOVE Lightening McQueen but what is new since we have been fighting that addiction since you were six months old (I have the pictures to prove it!). You always have the funniest things to say and take everything literally, just like daddy! Today I told you I was going to lock you in a cage so you wouldn't grow up and you thought I was serious. You have such a sweet heart and you give the best hugs! I wish I could keep you little like this forever but I understand you want to grow up so you can leave me and go to school like a big boy. Just understand that when you do, you will be taking my heart with you. Oh, and you can forget about riding the bus because I am so walking you in there and you are holding my hand the whole time.

Aunt Ash's wedding age 22 months


2nd Birthday Party

You have grown so much little man so quick and I just can't wait to see what the future holds for you. I know God has something amazing planned for you and I pray that you keep your eyes on him and follow his path. Stay with the truth and be an example. You have your brothers watching and looking up to you, I know that is a hard position to be in but I know you will kick butt! Thank you for always loving me little man, so very unconditionally, even when I make mistakes (I'm sure I will make a whole lot more). Happy Third Birthday Caden! I love you with all of my heart!

4 Years Ago

Four years ago today I stood in front of a whole lot of people giggling nervously as I pledged my life to you. Four years and three babies later, I am still as amazed that you are mine and I get to spend this incredible life with you. You make me so happy and I can't thank God enough for blessing me with you to walk side by side with me for the rest of our lives. Thank you for being my love! I love you!

I'm New

This is my official first post, I've been reading or should I say stalking blogs for months now but have never given in and started my own. Now that I have three little guys, I needed a way to keep track of the many different funny and cute things that happened throughout the day and week. So, this blog was born. It will probably not be to entertaining for anyone else but myself but that's the point.

I'll start with a little history. Five years ago my then boyfriend proposed to me and eight months later we were married on August 6th, 2005. Four months later I stood holding a pregnancy test and shaking with fear and excitement. On August 19th, 2006 just a few short weeks after our first anniversary Caden Wade Cooper was born. He weighed in at 8lbs 6oz and was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. When Caden was almost six months old, I found out yet again that I was pregnant and on October 8th, 2007, arriving two weeks early, Kyler Patrick joined our family. He was a tiny little guy at 6lbs 15oz and to this day is still tiny. He is almost two and weighs maybe 22lbs. When Kyler was about 10 months old we again found out I was pregnant. We had just come back from our first real family of four vacation to the beach and had just closed on our first house! I took the test the morning of Caden's second birthday party and was so excited it took all that I had not to tell everyone at the party! On April 20th, 2009 Camden Joel joined our family of four and made us a family of five! He was our big boy weighing 9lbs 7oz and to this day is still a little chunker! He came out with a head full of hair and is so stinkin cute.

Now, Josh and I celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary on Thursday. Caden will turn three in two weeks (sob), I can't believe it's been three years already since I first held that precious little boy. Kyler will be two in two months and my little Camden Joel is changing daily. They are growing up so fast and I am so proud and blessed to be their momma. I thank God daily for allowing me to be their mother and only hope and pray that I can be a Godly example for them to follow as they grow. I pray that God helps me to show them the way to him and that they will follow in their daddy's footsteps.

So sorry if this is boring, not like anyone will even read this besides myself! I'll soon post about where the boys are at this age and what they are doing!
