So I had an ultrasound this morning and we are having....
another BOY!
Crazy huh? I am really excited! At first I was completely in shock, I really didn't believe the lady. I thought she must have it wrong, but the baby was pretty open about letting us know. :) So as Tyson said, we will have 6 years of a missionary being out in serving. That is a lot of blessings. 3 little boys to keep me crazy and young. I'm pretty sure every window will get broken, there will be lots of rough housing, all the animals within a mile radius will be tortured and if they get a little sister, she will be either totally adored and protected or harrassed and teased to no end...probably a lot of both. :) I am really excited to have another one and so is Tyson. I think Josh is the most excited though. He keeps telling me he wants his baby brother to come out and walk around with him. Hehe. Now what on earth are we going to name him?!

Just more of us crazies
The boys have been so happy lately! I think it has a lot to do with the warm weather and all the flowers coming out and all the time to spend outside. They have both been such hams and so funny I can barely believe it. So here are some pictures of mostly the boys and a few of some of their friends. I will post Easter pictures soon.
Snuggle time with sippy cups and Zuri.
Eating his first tuna sandwich. LOVES it. :)
Zuri and "her" kitty cat. She loves this thing, the first thing she does when she walks in the door is find it. It is so cute.
Caleb, Corbin, June, Josh and Zuri. It was a full house and way fun.
Caleb and his theater attire. :) Hehe, not really. But he loves dressing up in hats and Daddy's shoes.
Playing games with Seth. Josh still doesn't understand why Seth can't come visit for a long time. :( Off away to school.
Like I said, loves Daddy's shoes.
Josh's random nap. Little kids are so cute all the time, but especially when they are sleeping.
Daddy-son snuggle time.
We loves Aunt Bunky! Ps. Happy Birthday today!
Movie time. I LOVE how Zuri watches shows. She totally lounges like this showing off her belly. It is so adorable!
Josh got Caleb to wear this coat even though it was a really warm day. I'm pretty sure Caleb will do anything Josh wants him to.
Most nights the boys love to attack Daddy and get rides. And yes, Josh is wearing a pumpkin outfit.
To explain the outfit, the boys went to bed and didn't fall asleep for a long time, they kept making noise. Finally they stopped and fell asleep, when we went to check on them and we found clothes all over the floor and Josh wearing this, asleep. Hilarious. Then he refused to wear anything else but that for I think three or four days. That crazy boy.
Showing off the daffodils.
Caleb's first ice cream cone.
Zurbertte
Caleb being silly after playing with and annoying Kelso (the puppy).
Josh and Kelso.
And a fun video for you to hear Caleb's adorable little voice.

Mother's Day Chocolate
Just in case anyone is interested, Dove is selling boxes of chocolates for Mother's Day. They have some kinds like lemon meringue pie and chocolate mousse that are the same as the Valentine's chocolates, but they also have key lime pie and raspberry parfait and a few others. Seriously scrumptious! So if you want to get some great chocolate for your mom, let me know by the end of April!
Visitors
Spring has been coming out in full force here. I will post some pictures when there are not so many little hands to yank on cords. This morning Caleb and I walked outside to see if we could see Tyson coming back from his morning walk and we came face to face with a raccoon! Needless to say I was totally freaked out, but it just ran off. Caleb loved it though. Then Josh and I saw four deer walking through our yard this afternoon. Talk about a very animal filled day. You would think we lived in the country...okay we kind of do, but still, it is in a town, just a small one.
I much prefer deer and raccoons and the occasional cat to the freaky bugs that surround this place. The other night I was brushing my teeth and suddenly this bug (my arch enemy- it looks like a giant centapeed mixed with a spider, seriously gross) likes jumps onto the counter. I'm not sure if it came from the drain or behind the faucet, but I have never been so scared. Thank heavens Tyson was there, otherwise I think I would have spit on it, toothpaste and all. Do you think that would have hurt it?
We have had a lot of friends come over lately. Not the animals and enemy bugs, I'm talking about real people. ;) Of course, Zuri comes over almost every day and she is always fun. She and Caleb remind me of twins, they scream with excitement every time they see each other. We hung out with Carter and Jacob last week which was way fun. I have to admit though, I thought I was losing my mind between the names Josh and Jacob and Caleb and Carter. Hehe. Yesterday we hung out with Leo and Ethnie which was lots of fun. Josh even invited them to stay for lunch which was quite precious. I'm glad he is so kind and I got to eat mac and cheese because of it, so cool. And then later Tommy and Jack came over. Jack and Josh got in a little fight, which was the funniest thing ever. Josh called Jack a princess and Jack basically lunged at him. Their personalities make me laugh so hard, especially since they are both so young. Then I was building stuff with waffle blocks and Josh asked me if I was building the temple. Then Tommy said, "the house of God?" It was so funny and adorable!
So anyways, I had to write these things down so I don't forget and because they make me laugh. Plus I haven't written in forever and I need to write about something. And my life is surrounded by children, so why not write about them?

My Baby Butterfly
So, I will be 16 weeks along tomorrow. It is weird how quickly the time is passing. Josh keeps asking to see the baby and telling everyone he has a baby in his belly. Don't believe him, he doesn't. :) Caleb, as with pretty much everything, seems totally oblivious and care free of any change coming soon. He does not like it when I cry (I fully blame the hormones, however it is normal for me). He will try to pull the tears off my face, literally pull them off like string. He gets very upset that they don't come off so easy. :) Also, I felt the baby moving for sure for the first time this week. Now "she" moves all the time. I love the little movements, it makes me so happy. At mutual on Wednesday, everyone was swimming and she was kicking up a storm. It was like she wanted to get out and swim too so I think she will be a little swimmer. I have also decided to call her "fluttergibbet" since she feels like a little butterfly right now. This is my favorite part of pregnancy, for the most part no longer sick, still not huge and finally feel the baby moving around. Tyson is so sweet and lets me jabber on about every kick and all the things I think about. He is the best husband a girl could ever dream of. The Lord has given me so much, I am so thankful.

Quotes from the Cuties
Recent Josh moments:
Tyson: "Josh, what would you like for breakfast?"
Josh: "Um, me want toast, the french kind."
Tyson: "Josh, what is Caleb doing?"
Josh: "He is eating....the most delicious bugs."
Me trying to get Josh to listen to me because Caleb is crying and so not wanting Josh to "help" him. Josh comes walking in with his hands on his hips,
"Sorry Mama, you say something? Me no hear you."
Caleb moment:
He thinks every animal makes a baaa sound like a lamb. So he was chasing me around the house with a rubber fish with huge eyes saying "baaaa" trying to scare me. :)
Gotta love kids.

La Trip to Texas
Okay, so these pictures are a little backwards, but you understand...
These are the infamous laptops. So many people coming together who are still in school/work/I don't know what, there were a lot of laptops. Kind of funny.
After a visit to the River Walk, we found this really neat little plaza area with water spouts. I don't know if kids were allowed to play in it, but we started a whole slew of kids playing in it. :) Being a kid is so cool.
We went to Sea World, which I was afraid would be insane, but it ended up being awesome. We had plenty to do and the kids never seemed bored. They do however HATE roller coasters. I took them on this little one and they both were in tears after the first 10 seconds. All the other kids on the ride were trying to help them feel better, but to no avail. Josh was okay with the carousel, but Caleb, no way. So maybe, someday when they are older they will learn to love them. I for one was sad I couldn't go. But as Hannah said, it is my fault I got pregnant. :)
Watching the coolest show ever with a beluga whale and dolphins. Note Caleb's hair mixed with sunscreen, very cool. Sorry, I totally cut off Tyson's face.
On the boat on the River Walk. I think that might have been the highlight of the trip for me. The boys were happy and Tyson and I loved it too.
The Alamo.
My crazy handsome guy at the River Walk.
It was really nice to go to the temple with Mom and Dad Cooper and Cassie. Thank you Katie, Josh and Zach for watching the boys. It was really nice to not have to drive 3 1/2 hours to get to the temple. (Note in the pic you can see the tiny/not so tiny baby bump)
While Tyson was in San Diego presenting at a conference, we all went to North Padre Island. The beach was so neat! The seagulls were super friendly which the boys loved. Well, they actually weren't friendly until you had food, which Dad Cooper discovered and would put food on our heads and then suddenly we would be attacked by a swooping gull. That turkey of a father in law I have. :)
Caleb chased the gulls around for a good 15 minutes. He LOVED them and really wanted to hold one I think. I am so thankful they weren't too interested in him. :)
Josh got pretty close to this really pretty crane (at least I think that is what it is).
Gotta love these boys. I did love that Josh refused to take off his pajamas that morning.
Hannah took Josh surfing at this cool statue Mom Cooper found.
I think this was Josh's favorite part of the trip. At the hotel we stayed at in North Padre, there was this closet that Josh claimed as his office. He had the unplugged phone, pen and paper and his blanket. He was set. Caleb loved to try and get in, but it was closed to visitors most of the time. :)
Caleb sporting this random green hat and climbing up and down the stairs, his favorite activity of the trip. His least favorite thing: falling down the stairs. I was about to say drinking some of Mom Cooper's stop pain medicine, but he did like that. It took away any teething pain. :) That was my first experience calling poison control, luckily Mom Cooper did it for me.
Waiting at the airport to go to Grandma and Grandpa's. The boys did really well waiting and traveling, for which I am still very thankful.
Uncle Zach took this picture I think right after Josh pulled the filing cabinet on himself, right before we left for the ER. This picture is super cute.
The ER trip was the only unpleasant part of the trip and sadly it happened right before we left so I didn't give very good goodbyes. Josh got three stitches on his lip and I had to hold him down while they did it. It was a really good experience for me, to be brave and ask questions when I didn't have Tyson there to help me. (he stayed to pack and take care of Caleb) Mom Cooper and Zach were there which was awesome, but only one person could go back with Josh to get the stitches. Josh now says he wants the stitches back in, I think that he enjoyed the attention way too much. :)
