Cash and Holly the Dog....

Tonight we came out to my parents house and Cash was playing with my Mom's dog, Holly. This was so funny, Cash was laying in the floor like Holly feeding her! Isn't he adorable?

I can't wait for this weekend! I am so excited about the pools opening!

This morning we were outside playing when I remembered we had this little pool that we had not used yet! So I decided that I would blow it up and let Cash have fun!!! Craigan was cleaning his golf clubs and Cash and I were playing in the pool/yard! Of course I went inside and filled a huge bucket a couple of times with warm water! He LOVED the pool! He would step on the side of the pool to get out and empty out a lot of his water! He also loved beating his golf club into the water and splashing himself! Then he found the bucket that I used and started playing peek-a-boo! I was cracking up at him! He has such a huge personality now! He is mimicking basically everything we say now and we are figuring out how strong headed he is, wonder where that comes from???? Hummmmm???......

Peek-a-Boo....He loves this dumptruck.....

Helping Daddy deflate the pool....Now he needs a nap! I hope everyone has a great week!

God Works in Mysterious Ways....

As you all know, I announced that I was pregnant a couple weeks ago. I now have to tell you all that 5 week 5 day old (gestational age) Baby Copeland went to be with God today at around 12:00 p.m.. Craigan and I are doing well, it was a VERY hard pill to swallow but I know that he was not meant to be here on Earth with us. He, and I say he because the Chinese Birth Chart says it would have been a boy so that's what I am going with, will be thought about often and I know he is getting lots of hugs and kisses from all of our family members who have passed away! I can't wait to see and meet him for the first time! God is the only one capable of taking care of him and I am OK with that! I know he will watch over us and know he is loved even though we never got a chance to meet him!

My Smart Little Cashy!!

I finally got it all on video! I thought I was never going to get Cash showing his eyes, nose, and mouth to everyone but tonight I finally got it! I was also lucky enough to get a video of him doing his newest trick, I ask him, "Cash, how old are you," and he will show you and say one! It is too precious!

Lindsey's Baby Shower

Today was one of my best friends baby shower! She lives in Russellville, where I am from, and her husband got a job in Pittsburgh, PA, so she will be moving there tomorrow! We are so sad to see Lindsey go, especially now that she is about to have a baby in August!!! We have all been friends since 6th grade! That's a long time! The baby's name will be Sydney! She told me that the townhome they are moving into has white walls and they will not be able to paint them! So I thought, ok I will paint her a huge canvas to brighten up the walls, so I did! It was 2 ft by 4 ft, the biggest one I had ever done! I made it match the bedding as well as I could and I think it turned out pretty great! I also learned how to make tutus and handpainted shirts so I made her an outfit too, along with a gift basket full of bottles, blankets, passys, washclothes, and many other things! I hope she liked everything and I am going to miss her soooooo much! Holly, Chelsea, and I are going to, hopefully, fly up there once Sydney is born and stay a week or weekend at least!

I was so excited to give her the gifts and she acted as though she loved them! I can't wait to see little Sydney!!

The BEST Mother's Day Ever!

This Mother's Day my Mom and I cooked a huge meal for all of us Mother's! Brennan, Shelly, Max, Carol, Dennis, and my parents all came over to our house to celebrate! Shelly and Carol also brought some great dishes for us too and so we visited and ate all afternoon! We all got Carol a pair of Yellow Box flip flops that she wanted really bad and we got my Mom her favorite perfume, which is Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue, if you haven't tried it, you should! It is Heaven in a bottle! Craigan got me an hour long massage which I won't be able to use because............

I'm PREGNANT!!!

No, we were not trying. Just a little miracle that happened and now, after the shock has worn off, we are VERY excited! I knew all day that I was, but I knew that if I took the test that morning they would be able to see it all over my face. So I waited until everyone left Sunday night, went to Wal-Mart, bought the test, came home, took it, and this was the result! According to the Chinese Birth Calander it should be another boy too! I am so happy! They will be exactly 24 months apart and this baby's due date is one day before Cash's due date was, January 14. Cash's was January 15! I should be about 4 weeks. Anyways, we are very excited and just pray that the baby and I stay healthy and safe all the way through this pregnancy!

I have been a horrible picture taker lately so I don't have many pictures to post! Sorry! I am already soooooo tired! I will try to do better! I hope everyone has a great week!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX AND ELLIOTT!!

I took Cash to see Dr. Ledbetter this morning and he gave us the all clear on his ears! He said Cash would be fine to go to his cousin Max and his friend Elliott's Birthday parties! We went to Max's first and it was a lot of fun. His theme was "Where the Wild Things Are", you know, like the book? It was really cute and Cash had a blast on the jumpy castle! We couldn't stay too long though because Elliott's was next! Elliott's theme was watermelons and everything was pink and green! It was soooo cute too! They had rented a jumpy castle and Cash loved it too! At both places they grilled out and we had a great time!!!

Febrile Seizure Part II

Today started out like any other day, yet again! I dropped Jacob and Noah off at daycare and then went to Sheridan to see a friend of mine and get my hair trimmed by her as well! We started to head back to Little Rock around 11:40 and at 12:20 I was about 1 mile away from the I-530 and I-630 split when I looked back and Cash was having another seizure! He was totally fine 3 minutes ago!!! I called 911 and they were telling me to pull over and wait for an ambulance, I told them no that I was almost to Children's ER and to have a Dr at the door for me. I got to the ER and they surrounded him again and started IB Profen/Tylenol rotation. We finally broke the fever at 4:15 and were discharged at 4:45p.m.. He really got over this one a little faster than the last as far as how long it took him to be somewhat back to normal but he did have an ear infection! I really hope this stops happening but I am afraid this will be the next four years for us! Good thing is they are totally harmless at this point, however, they are still the scariest thing you will ever see!

After we got home....

Please keep Cash in your prayers and hopefully we will get through this sooner rather than later!

Mr Squiggles

Tonight my Mom and I went to Gordman's to look around and I have always wondered what Cash would do with a Zhu Zhu pet hamster! So my Mom bought him one tonight! His name is Mr. Squiggles and he is brown and white! He also moooos' like a cow and quacks like a duck! I didn't know hamsters were able to make these types of noises but Mr Squiggles does! I posted a video and a picture of Mr Squiggles crawling up Cash's foot! He really does like this hamster. Good thing because this is the closest to a hamster he will ever get!

Craft Filled Weekend!

So I totally know that I have been a horrible blogger lately, I am just sooooo busy! I haven't even been able to take pictures of Cash or anything! What I have been doing though is pretty exciting! This past Christmas my parents gave me a sewing machine for one of my gifts and it has been in the attic ever since! Well this past weekend I pulled it down and went to work! Well, kind of, I bought fabric to make window panels for my two bay windows! Although it was my first attempt, I was VERY proud of them! I think they look great! It is exactly what my house needed! It is a black, tufted, taffeta material. I also have been working on baby/birthday/wedding gifts for all our events we have had lately. We went to Rebekah's wedding Saturday night and then we have Max and Elliot's birthday parties on the same day, this up coming Saturday! Then my friend Lindsey, who lives in Russellville, is having a baby shower the next weekend! So I have learned how to make tutu's and made the tutu you will see below for Elliott's b-day party, her theme is watermelons, so her tutu is lime green and hot pink! Too cute! I have also learned how to make these cute painted shirts for little girls so I have made several of those as well! I have made some things for Lindsey's shower but I can't put them on here until I give the gift, just in case! But I think she will love everything she will be getting!

Last night Cash wanted to color so I put him in his booster seat and let him go crazy. He colored his tray, the chair, and his clothes more than he colored the paper!Cash is so much fun right now! Just a quick update: He can say so many things like MOO when you ask what sound a cow makes or MEOW when you ask what sound a cat makes! He knows eyes, nose, and mouth. He can say rain, his favorite word is NO. He is just growing soooo fast! He is now 16 months old and LOVES being outside! He is obsessed with basketball goals and balls! Maybe he will be an NBA star one day! I hope everyone has a great week and I will get better about blogging! Also, all the people affected by the horrible weather and tornados are in our prayers! I can't wait for Spring to pass!
