"Two Pa's"

It was so fun this past week to be with family. While Eric and Al were at meetings I hung out with my parents. Miley loved being with all her grandparents (Cooper did too). One day at lunch Miley, Cooper and my parents were eating at the resturant when Al and Eric walked in...Miley yelled with a smile "two pa's." She couldn't believe she was with both her Grandpas. It was so cute. Our children are sure blessed with 4 amazing grandparents.

Manager of the Year!!

I am so proud of Eric!!!! He got his company's highest award this year "manager of the year." He got the plaque, a fancy watch and some cash money! Yeay Eric you deserve it, you are so amazing at what you do!!!!

Sometimes pictures are better than words

So funny...this is Eric and his asst. manager dressing up for halloween at the KOA. The costume almost fits Eric's 6'5" body. It took strong will power to not post the picture I took of Eric's backside to show you all what I mean by "almost fits."

Say what you want but Vans are AWESOME!

Yes, that is correct. We bought a new van (well it's new to us). I LOVE it. Yes mom, I know I said I would never own a van....blah blah blah. One of my favorite features is the ability to open the sliding doors with a button on the key!

Working Woman

Wow, what a week!!! I decided to drop my resume off at a nursing home needing a part-time social worker just to see what they needed. Long story short, I had an interview on Tuesday (yesterday) and got offered the job today.

I had a sleepless night last night wondering what was best for Miley and Cooper and myself (okay Eric too). The social worker I will be working for gave me the name of her in-home daycare provider. So we went as a family to meet with her tonight. Wow, God is amazing!!!! This lady-Jenny-is awesome. Her family is great too. They live in a nice neighborhood 1 minute from the nursing home. And she is a Christian!!!!!!!! Praise God. Miley didn't want to leave. I felt such peace and the presence of God while we were there. All my reservations about working part-time are gone. Yes, it still will be hard to leave Cooper and Miley but they will love it at Jenny's! As we were leaving I said to Eric "I guess God wants me to go back to work."

Thank you Lord for your provisions!

2 1/2 Year Old Update

I am really enjoying the age of 2! Miley is so much fun and makes me laugh often. She is learning so many new things every day. Miley is now potty trained and loves to announce every time she uses it. The first time she went #2 in the potty I happened to be taking a shower...she dragged her potty all the way into our bathroom, opened the lid and announced "mommy, look I pooped." Her speech is getting so good, and we are amazed daily on the sentences that come out of her mouth. She also is loving sitting at the table and eating with us rather than her high chair...which is pretty comical. She continues to be a great big sister to Cooper. Okay I'm done bragging about my daughter:)...[for now...:)]

3 Months Old!

Wow, Cooper is growing!!! We love his smile and think we have heard him laugh:) He is holding his head up really well now. We got his 3 month pictures taken today...was hoping to get a nice sibling picture but Miley and Cooper didn't think that was a good idea.
