June - Yes I'm Alive

Yes I'm alive. And I have a lot of catching up to do. I have felt overwhelmed about blogging because I have so much to catch up on but I decided I will just start with June and skip the month of May. Quick update- I made it back to school 4 days before I decided to take a leave of absence from teaching this year. I wanted to do that all along but was worried that we couldn't afford it. After 4 days back to school it didn't matter to me I just couldn't leave my little boy! Clay was so supportive and said something I will always remember "we had never had to just put our trust in God and take a leap of faith." That is what we did and God has blessed me with two part time job opportunities that will allow me to earn some income and Cooper will spend time with my grandma and his daddy! Okay here we go. Here he is at 4 months.I took so many pictures (trying to get a good one) this one cracked me up because it looks like he is trying to get away from the camera!

We celebrated Clay's first father's day. He is the best father/husband I could ask for! Cooper adores him!

He started grabbing for things and loves to pull on my flowers. He also likes to watch himself in the mirror. A little vain?

June marked the month for his first cereal! It was so runny the first few times it was like feeding the milk from his bottle to him with a spoon and it would just run out.

Not too sure about it.

He made some really funny faces. Too bad the video camera wasn't charged.

Not so bad after all.......

My brother changed his first diaper. Not the first diaper to change of Cooper's but the first one EVER. I had to get this one on camera.

One of my jobs is working for my mom in the office at her convenient store. Here is cooper working with us.

Apparently he loves doing laundry. I am glad someone in our family does. If only he could fold the clothes.

Cole and Jessica got married this month! Here we are getting ready for the rehearsal dinner. I love how he props his arms up on the side.

My sis in law Annika, nephew AJ, me and Cooper at the rehearsal.

His buddy Arpoika was being naughty and sneaking Cooper some water. Actually Cooper grabbed the glass and brougt it straight to his mouth. Of course he kept wanting more.....

He looks drugged.

The groom and his nephews.

Cooper and the bride, Aunt Jessica.

Nana and Cooper at the wedding. She was on baby patrol if he got fussy. I didn't want him to be the screaming baby in the wedding video. He did great though!

Me and the bride. I am embarassed at how white I am. Newborn baby = no time in the sun for me. Enough about me, Jessica was gorgeous!!

Lexi, Adison, and AJ. (Sidenote: Lexi is 13 and will undergo open heart surgery on August 20th. Please keep her and her family in your prayers. More on her later.)

Mr. and Mrs. Cole Bryant, Finally!!

After the wedding festivites we spent some time at the pool. Cooper LOVES the water!

In all his gear ready to go.

Getting use to the water with daddy.

His floatie makes animal noises. What will they think of next?

Well there is a quick wrap up of June. We also spent at week at Quartz Mountain Christian Camp with Clay, for some reason I didn't take many pictures. He had his 4month shots and weighed in at 16 lbs 15 oz. He has his 6 month appt on August 18th and I can't wait to see how much he weighs. Hopefully I will make time for a July update soon. I just need to get the pictures downloaded.

It's nice to be back in the blogworld........
