WiCkEd!!!

Tonight, Matt treated me to the musical "Wicked". If you've never heard of it or seen it, you are missing out! It is based on the Wicked Witch of the West from "The Wizard of Oz". It is funny, and the songs are so catchy. You've probably heard a couple on "Glee"!

Anyways, this was my third time to see the musical, but it was my first time to see it at the Fox in Atlanta. We are blessed to live relatively close to so many big cities, so it's not too bad of a drive to make.

Nana and Papa Tom watched Coop while we had our little date. We got updates throughout the night, and it sounded like everything was going well! It was so good to be with my main man for a while!!

Labor Day 2011

For Labor Day, we headed to Memphis to spend some time with my family.  Friday, we went to the Children's Museum.  It was awesome!  Cooper had such a fun time.  I wish we had something in Auburn like that!

Doing a little fishing

Lolly helping Coop reach the water

Grocery shopping

He was so excited to be able to put all those things in the cart!

He really likes cereal!

Lolly dancing with Justin

He loved turning the steering wheeling and saying "car" over and over

 After the Children's Museum, we went to Chick Fil A then headed over to a splash park in Collierville.  I knew Cooper wouldn't like it, but we decided to give it a try anyways.

there was this awesome playground next to the splash park that was just his size

He is so BIG!  He can do all of this by himself.

We also got to feed some ducks!

Some of you may know that we do not have satellite, cable, or even local channels. That's right - no TV!! I am totally ok with that. Matt is totally ok with it during the winter, spring, and summer. But when fall comes around, it is really hard on him. Thankfully we have DSL, so he is able to keep up with almost every game. But I know that he would really rather be watching Auburn score on our flat-screen tv than on our little laptop. Matt, just keep reminding yourself that Dave Ramsey would be proud! :)

My little monkey

Cooper has really gotten into climbing! He can pretty much climb onto anything in our house. He has climbed on the coffee table before, but it was only one time and then he stopped. Well today he rediscovered it. He has been up and down all day. He looks so big standing up there. And he is so proud of himself when he gets up there! I know pretty soon he will start jumping from the table to the couch. I'm not looking forward to those days!

And I know he looks crazy in just a diaper and Crocs, but I was having him try on the new shoes and he threw a fit when I took them off. Some things are just not worth fighting about!
