Happy Birthday!

Cooper is 6!! He has been counting down his birthday for months!! This picture captures his pure happiness. His wish list of gifts included a toy boat, crayons, a shirt, $6 cash, DS game and play dough. He got everything he wanted (except the playdough- yay!!!) He had a great day and is thrilled to finally be 6 like his friend Elle and his counsin Klair.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAZY COOPER J!

WE LOVE YOU!!

Time flies...

I can not believe that my first born is a "middle schooler". This little boy and I have come a long way...I love him, I am proud of him and I can not believe how fast time has gone by....

He did it!!

Cooper J did it!! He promoted from Kindergarten to first grade. I am soo soo proud of him. He has come a long way! Mrs. Langford was heaven sent! She is the best teacher we have ever had. Watch out 1st grade..you don't know whats about to hit you!!

Cowboy Cody Mack

I have always thought the name Cody is "cowboyish". When we were deciding on names for baby #3, Cody was one that my husband and my other kids liked. It was not my favorite because of the cowboy idea I had stuck to it. My other 2 boys middle names are after their grandpas. So when trying to decide on a middle name for baby #3, Grandpa Pollmann's middle name "Mack" was thrown out there. Eric loved it...Cody Mack...that was the name. It was bad enough when it was Cody but Cody Mack!?!? You can't get more of a cowboy name than that!

Anyways, Cody has decided that he is going to go by "Mack". He calls himself Mack and so do we (most of the time). I have noticed that it isn't catching on with anyone else though..maybe you all think Mack is to "old man" like.....regardless....here are some pics of my little cowboy...Cody Mack. (I love this kid!!)

summertime...

Who needs a pool....when you have a bucket and a hose!!
