What a Weekend!

I got back from Oklahoma on Tuesday evening and I was completely worn out! I had a fun-filled busy, non-stop weekend. On Thursday I left Dallas and headed to OK. I got a text about mid-way in my travels from my BFF Candice saying her water broke! YEA! I was so excited! My plan had worked. I told her she needed to have that boy while I was in town and she got to it before I even got there! So I went in to Tulsa met up with my step-mom and we got together with some good friends of ours to see her new baby boy. He was so adorable! I also had my sweet niece Adi with me for the afternoon. So it was just like a triple dose of baby fever.




Thursday night I headed up to the hospital to see Candice and how she was progressing. She got to the hospital at around 9:30 am, I think, and so I figured she was still in the pre-pushing stage. Well I was wrong. she had been pushing since 6:30. When I got there it was 7:30. No news until 9:30 that baby Cooper had been born! He has a head full of dark hair and is absolutely beautiful! He is ALMOST as beautiful as Cannon was. (: On Friday I spend about 6 hours up at the hospital with them. I got to spend time talking to Candice and my favorite part, of course, was holding Cooper.

Then on Saturday we had the big 3rd Birthday party! Cannon and Gage had a blast at the park. We ate a yummy lunch and then opened about a million presents. Those two little boys are loved! I have discovered that Cannon is not a big fan of dinosaurs though! He is okay with dinosaurs that make no sound but add in the growling effect, and he wants NOTHING to do with it. Unfortunately, we were not fully aware of his dislike for dinosaurs until we had their dino themed party. Poor Cannon was deathly afraid of a few of his dinosaur presents. He received a very nice, BIG, T-Rex from Aunt Terry. When he saw it growl he said, "NO,NO, Mommy! Get it away!" We had fun watching his reaction for the next couple of days whenever we made it growl. Poor baby! What kind of sick people are we! Making a kid scared to death and laughing about it! But honestly, if you could have seen his reaction, you would laugh too!

Cannon excited about his new power tools!

The birthday boys!

Sunday we had a 50th Birthday celebration for my Mom. She will be 50 on September 10th. I wasn't going to be in town again so we decided to have her party that weekend as well. Mom, you are an amazing woman. Life has been hard at times but I have always admired your strength and hard work. You always did what you could to provide for us, even if it meant working 3 jobs! You will forever be one of the strongest women I know, and for that I look up to you! Here's to another 50 stress-free and fabulous years! Love you lots!

And finally, if anyone is still reading to this point, on Monday I went to Pryor to spend more time with Candice and Cooper. I knew it was going to be a while before I saw them again so I wanted to make sure I got a good amount of time with them. I know he will look completely different when I see him again! Why do babies have to grow! Mine is going to be 3 in 8 days!
