Cooper started t-ball much to the discouragment of pretty much every single person we asked. DON'T DO IT was pretty much the answer we go each time......geez. Well, the first practice went well. We had to run out at the last minute and buy a glove after Cooper's $5 Hudson find went missing....GREAT! The only place we had time to go was Hibbit and I knew we were about to pay WAY more than we should for a 3 yr old t-ball glove. We did. First game didn't go so well. Cooper wouldn't even walk to the tee. I could see the frustration on Justin's face but he was he kept his cool. The rest of that game was pretty spent with Cooper playing in the dirt and Justin chatting with the other dads. The second game went much better. The ice cream Cooper had before may or may not had anything to do with that but so be it. He hit the ball both times and actually attempted to field a couple of balls. Now, tonights game I had to play daddy. Justin had football workouts ( ugh >:/ ugh ) and I got to go out on the field with Cooper. He is all about hitting the ball but when it comes to fielding...not so much. All that dirt is much more appealing. I found myself trying to encourage him at first. Then it turned to threats.....then bribes. Just run after the ball son!!! I had to snap myself out of it and remember that he is only 3.....and he does LOVE dirt. We will see how the rest of the season goes. I am glad we played though. He sure looks cute in his hat. ;)
Look, It's Kelly from Bad News Bears.
I follow a lot of blogs and I LOVE to read them all. A dear friend of ours is going through a rough time right now. His mom is battling small cell lung cancer. His sister started a blog to basically follow her journey in dealing with thier mother's illness. It is AMAZING!!! Although I absolutley hate that she had to even start this blog I find myself scrolling down to see if she has updated it every day. Check it out. Her mother, Brenda Cochran, is probably one of the strongest women you will ever meet.

Our dear friends Johnny Welch and Sarah Robinson are getting married this weekend and Cooper will be the ring bearer. We have been prepping Cooper for this for months now but I am still so anxious to see if he will actually walk down that isle. Cooper is such a moody child sometimes and can be very shy and timid. Once again, I have resorted to bribery. Don't judge me ok. We paid good money for this tux and I want Johnny and Sarah's day to be perfect.
I'm going to start admitting something embarassing on here from time to time. We have struggled with both of our kids sleeping in their own beds. They will start out in their beds but usually ALWAYS end up in our queen size bed. Well, our master bedroom is big. Big enough to put another queen size bed on either side of our bed. So guess what? That queen size bed that is collecting crap in our 4th bedroom is about to be setup next to our bed. Yes, it will be oh so tacky and I'm sure my mother is gasping this very second after reading this but we gotta SLEEP!!!! It's not permanent but it will work for now.....hopefully.
Oh, one more thing. Please pray for Justin Friday. He is taking his National Board test in Jackson!!
