some cute pics of the boys

so here are some pics of halloween and cooper's birthday. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a very important part of our life and Cooper asked everyday where his shell was. Naturally Payton also had to be a turtle. Cooper also has a new love of swords so he deemed himself Leonardo Payton was Michelangelo. Those costumes as pretty dang cute. Thanks to Lisa Bird and Grandma for ideas and sewing skills love you guys.





In case there were any doubters YES I made cooper's b-day cake. (for all of you making fun, that is indeed superman) I had much help from Bridget. We are thinking of going into business together.


And yes that is Christian in that great big tigger costume I guess you could say he really go into Halloween this year!!

The Long Lost Prodigal Sister Returns!

We're back!!! I know that you all have missed us so much and after much chastening from you fellow bloggers and much to update you all on. I have decided that yes we will return to blogging!!!

First things first. Yes our family of 4 will be increased to a family of 5 on Feb 21 2009 (or right around that date somewhere). We are excited to be venturing into the 3 children world and a little nervous. I guess we are luck it is another BOY because at least we know what to expect with them. We are excited and the boys are way excited too.


Next Cooper Travis Redd is POTTY TRAINED!!!! Let me tell you it really wasn't that bad. He did pretty well and I wasn't too stressed. Our biggest dilemma now is finding TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE underwear. Payton is in the middle of the whole toilet training bit too. He is insistent on flushing for Cooper and allows for zero privacy. All in all it is pretty entertaining.

That is it for now. I need to find my cord to upload pics. I'll do that tonight!! (p.s. it's nice to be back)
