Catchin' Up

So it's been MONTHS since I did anything on this page....so here's an update for our family.
Kyle started school again last week to get his Masters!! I'm so excited for him. He's been wanting to do it for awhile, and now that work is paying for half of it, it's a great time to do it. Parker has been loving the warm weather, so when he woke up this morning and it was cold and snowy, he came into my room and said MOM!! What is going on out there? I told him that I was sorry but it just got cold again, to which he replied "Well sorry doesn't fix it."
Zoey has also been loving the warm weather as well and has loved following daddy around the backyard while he does some cleanup and such. She runs from one end of the yard to the other, then screams when it's time to come in.
As for me, I am pregnant...enough said. I love having kids and the being pregnant part, but I wish they had a really good pill for all the aches and pains that go along with it. For those that don't know we are having a boy, and have decided to name him Cooper Jay Rands. It took A LOT of talking Parker into that name. He was convinced that his name was Rufus. Don't ask me where he got that name or who told him that was his brother's name, but we would ask him DAILY about names and he would say No we're going to call him Rufus. I don't know about anyone else but Rufus Rands was nowhere in my book...NOWHERE. So it took a lot of talking and telling him that he could call his little brother Lil' Coop, and he could be Big Park, but he's finally on board with the name Cooper.
So that's what's happening with us, and for anyone that knows me I can't post on here without adding a picture, so I found some pictures that John Y. took of my kids awhile ago, and I can't get over how dang good my kids look. We're doing some family pictures after we get Cooper here, so I'll get more on here, but I just had to show these.


If I do say so myself...I have some really good looking kids

LOL. Rufus Rands. That's so funny! Parker cracks me up!
I agree with the snow part, we are ready for warm weather and playing outside! Sorry just DOESN'T cut it! ;)
Your kids are beautiful. Zoey is definitely looking older now, you need some new pics with that cute pony tail!

Doug thinks that Rufus is a great name! (of course his cat was named Rufus). When we were deciding on what to name our last boy, Matt and Thomas really wanted to name him Gizmo. The boys love that dog! Congrats you guys!

It's so good to hear that you are pregnant. I haven't heard to much about what's been going on with you and Kyle, I don't really talk to JIm very much to get updates from Kyle and Doug. It's sounds like you guys are Extremely happy and totally deserve to be. Your kids are very precious and I can see both parents in them. I hope your pregnancy goes well for you.
