Welcome Will!

One week ago today our adorable nephew Will was born. He is healthy, and perfect! We went up to visit Anna, Chris and Will that night. He is the best baby I've ever held! He was so calm, and just plain cute. I do not have much experience with child birth, when Addison was born it was a sweet deal. It was a scheduled c-section so we just got to show up, and there she was. This time around was not so easy (detailed birth story here .

I am so proud of my sister-in-law Anna, she's one tough cookie!

Addison

This weekend I was lucky enough to take some preggo pictures of my sister in law Anna. She's 37 weeks, and I'm so excited for baby Will to make his appearance on July 5th! I just love taking pictures of big sister Addison, she's so funny and just loves getting her picture taken. After you take her picture she says "Addison see". She has to approve everything! I just love her! She's going to be such a great Big Sister!

Crazy Busy

Life has been so crazy the last few weeks. I started going to school at night, and I got promoted at work so I've been working a ton of hours on top of trying to study. I just finished my first class, and I've realized how easy life was as a college student. I would love to go back, but that's not going to pay the mortgage or the car payment. I miss being a kid!

Mike and Cooper got had a boys weekend at the Whitesel cabin last weekend. They went up for the annual cleanup, and I stayed behind to study for my final. They had a blast, and Cooper loved hanging out with his cousin Sammy the beagle.

Coopy is such a spoiled puppy, I'm posting a few pictures of some of his new treats he's had lately. I of course have to post a picture of Mike's pride and joy....his new beard. He is growing a beard for Matt's Bachelor party next weekend, I can hardly wait until May 10th for him to come home and shave it off!

Britney Concert!

Last night the girls and I went to the Britney concert.....it was so much fun! She has definitely made a comeback. The show was awesome, the dancing the outfits, and the energy of the crowd. It was definitely different than her last show where there were a ton of teeny boppers, it was pretty much people our age ( and a lot of prego girls). I can't wait until she comes back!! I didn't get home until 1:30, Mike made the mistake of waking up to ask me how the concert was. Little did he know that I was already wearing my $40 t-shirt and I would sing him all the songs she sang. Poor Mike, he just wanted to sleep so he could go to work this morning.

Addison turns 2!

Yesterday our niece Addison turned 2 years old! We went to her family birthday party at the Whitesel house and had macaroni & cheese, and yummy cupcakes. Addison got a ton of cool gifts, including this great kitchen. She has pots, pans, cups, utensils it's so cute!

Poor Coopy!

Poor Coopy, he was neutered on Friday and was doing ok until we noticed he was not eating at all, and he began to vomit this morning. The vet said if anything like this happens you need to bring him in. Mike took him in today, and besides the medication making him lose his appetite and to get sick, his wound was too agitated so they are making him wear a cone. Poor baby, he's so frustrated. He can't run up and down the stairs, he keeps slamming into me, can't drink, or eat. He has to do this for 10 more days, I feel so bad for him :(

Congratulations Jessica and Josh!

Jessica and Josh are engaged! Mike and I are so thrilled for them, they are two of the kindest most generous people we know. Love you guys!
