Yard Makeover

I know I know I am a little/a lot behind with posting to the blog. This pregnancy has been very trying for me and thankfully I am no longer sick - woohoo!!!

Easter weekend Corey decided to take on a large DIY project and landscape around the entire house. I am not sure he knew how much work/manual labor it would be or he probably would have never done it. He did a great job and the end product looks beautiful. Our yard now consists of azaleas, rhododendrons, a clematis, lilac bush, forsythia bush, and crab apple tree. Also, there is a place ready for next year's garden - I am not about to try and have a garden this year when I will be 7-10 months pregnant. A rented sod cutter, Poppy and Uncle Aaron were a huge help - thank you!!!

UVA Baseball

A couple of weekends ago we headed to UVA to catch a home baseball game. Aaron, Uncle Chris, Aunt Stacy, Campbell, Jeannie, Lee, Allie, and Beth joined us. It was a beautiful day for baseball, family and friends plus it was a sell out crowd! Cooper absolutely loved spending time with his family and UVA watching baseball! We will be heading down again in two weeks f

Happy Easter!!!!!

We're Not Lion

Cooper's going to be a Big Brother!!!! We are expecting Baby E #2 in mid/late September.

Unfortunately Momma didn't think to take his picture when his shirt was clean! Baby Brain has already set in.

Baby E #2 at 13 Weeks

Lions, Tigers & Bears - OH MY!!!

Corey and I took Cooper to the National Zoo the first Saturday in March which happened to also be the first warm/nice day in a very long time. Cooper absolutely loves the animals!!! He cried after we left every animal exhibit. We had a wonderful day!!!! We will definitely be going back once the weather gets a little warmer and the bears wake up from hibernation!!!

Cooper & Daddy with the Elephants - EEEEE!!!

Cooper smashing his face against the glass so he could a closer look at the monkeys!
