A wonderful weekend-



So this weekend was the family get together- which is rare for my family because we don't live by each other. (Except for Brandie and I). Anyway, my brother-in-law Andrew was in town on business, so Erika was able to come over for the weekend to join us! Since they traveled the furthest (Kentucky) everyone else congregated at our place this weekend. Janene, Rex & Edmund (My brother, sis-in-law & nephew) were here Friday night, which was a treat for Cooper because we all know, there is something about babies loving other babies. While Cooper is still learning to be a better sharer... it was nice for them to play together.


Mom & Dad came down as well for a family BBQ at our place along with Auntie Brandie, & Cousins Lauren & Marshall. I tellya what though- when it's full house- IT'S A FULL HOUSE! And we were even down one because Jason had to work... but we caught up with him the next night. Anyway- a good time was had by all and it was very nice to catch up, relax and just see family for a few days. Who knows when the next time will be... oh probably Christmas right?


Hopefully we all get the opportunity to enjoy our families every once and a while for everything they are and just soak it all in... then say g'bye. LOL!


Hope this finds you well-

A few pics to share-



Here are some pictures I had wanted to publish, but was having some problems... hopefully this attempt works!
I had put this outfit on Cooper to go pick up Auntie Erika from the airport, and I decided he looked so cute, that it needed to be captured on film... so I said C'mere Cooper, let's take your picture... and this is the cheesey, totally staged smile I got from him... awe, what a ham! Just a lil' show off- like his mommy :) Heh-heh-


CHEERS-

It's been too long-

Sorry for the lapse in posts... truly I've had some difficulty with 'blogger', but mostly I've just been really really busy.

I'm officially just a stay at home mom now! My last day working was Sunday, April 13th. It's funny how people will ask me what I"m going to do with myself now... umm, they must not have kids! SHEESH! They think I just sit at home all day stuffing my face with bon-bons and painting my nails... yah right, have you seen my nail beds? YIKES!

Anyways, Cooper's outfit this morning was picture worthy, so I said to him "Cooper, let's go take a picture of you;" and these are the facial expressions I got upon requesting a smile from him for the camera. ENJOY... I know I do!

Chase is growing nicely, he keeps me up at night with his circling and whirling around in that belly of mine- I'm excited to meet him, it feels like these last few weeks are taking forever and I just can't wait to see his face and meet him.

I'm looking forward to a nice visit with my ENTIRE family this weekend- very rare for the Landaker side of the family, especially since Erika lives in KY and the rest of us are kinda scattered all over SW WA. I'll post pics of the event later- unless of course they're of my house burning down due to some family craziness... heh-heh... LOL.

Til' next time-
CHEERS-

P.S. Will post pictures shortly... having technical difficulties- Thank you for your patience-

FAME! I wanna live forev-uh!




If this doesn't make you think of disco dancin', fancy pants... full on "I'm a maniac"... well then nothing really does!


Cooper is the kind of kid who just doesn't like to be dirty. So when his pajama bottoms got dirty he took them off and replaced them with Daddy's athletic socks, which let's be honest... look like leg warmers! My little metrosexual... Either way I think he's adorable, but then again, don't I always?


ENJOY-
