Weekend with the Bradfields

My family, including two of my three sisters and their families, joined us for a weekend recently. The men were recruited to carry to the basement our newly purchased sheetrock. I can't remember how many trips they made, but they worked hard! So hard that they had to sit on the couch and watch basketball the rest of the day.

Uncle Brian can get a little crazy sometimes.

We had to keep the kids out of the way while the men were working, so we did what all good moms in this situation do; turned on a favorite movie. I think we've raised some pretty good tv watchers!

Cooper loved baby cousin Jenna. Though he is quite an adept walker, he crawled around next to her much of the weekend.

We are so thankful for the wonderful families with whom God has blessed us. They surround us with their support constantly. "We may not have it all together, but together we have it all."

Outside Fun

Our neighbor boys are so much fun!

Cooper and Daddy had to take time-out for a much deserved drink of red stuff.

Oh, how glad I am spring has arrived!

Weekend with Gram and Papa

Happy Birthday, Papa Brian!

Watching a VeggieTale with Gram....is she in there somewhere?

Good clean fun...

Gram and Papa Spore spent the weekend with us (Thursday night through Monday night for Papa), helping us with the kids and working in the basement. We are blessed by their support for our family! We are in the process of finishing two bedrooms, a family room, bathroom, and kitchenette in our basement. H and C are really looking forward to having their own rooms down there.

Cooper had another check-up yesterday, and he is now caught up on immunizations. He has gained six pounds and 3 cm in three months. Three months....how all of our lives have changed in that amount of time! We are pretty sure we're still battling giardia, but all in all, Cooper is a really healthy little boy. Happy half birthday, Little Man!
