Yikes....

I can't believe it's been a month since I've posted anything.  Yikes!  Well, we're still alive and just a busy little family.  Cooper is into EVERYTHING and that's what's keeping us busy the majority of the time.  :)  We've given him free reign to the kitchen and Cooper spends most of his playtime in there.  He tries to get in all the cabinets, laughs at me when I tell him no, and continues on his wild man antics.  He's hilarious and definitely keeps us on our toes.

Last weekend we went to the Outdoor Show at the QCCA Expo Center in Rock Island and Cooper caught his first fish!  His cousin Molly helped him and I was surprised that he wanted to touch something that was flopping all over the place.  He did, but that was the last time.  :)  It was waaaay to slimy for him to touch the trout a second time. 

Work travel is starting to pick up again for both Jason and I and it starts within the next month.  Should be interesting with both of us being gone the same week for one of them....maybe. We'll have to see if we can do something about that.

Other than that, we purchased a new TV stand (I'm thrilled as I've had the same black one for, oh, 11 years) and I'm absolutely in love with it.  It just looks like we have a grown up house now.  :)  And we put in a new faucet in the upstairs bathroom.  We've decided to buy a new vanity and counter-top and instead of tiling out the entire shower, we're going to buy a new tub and just tile out the top.  Can't wait to see that change as it is long overdue.  Blue smurf tubs just aren't the in thing anymore.  But, maybe if we wait a little longer, they'll come into style again.....no?  Little by little it's all coming together.

And on a side note since it may be another month before I blog, on March 14th my parents will be married for 42 years!   I am so proud that I have such great parents for role models and I love them both so very much.  Happy Early Anniversary, Mom and Dad!!!
