Tired Day

Not much has happened this week. Carter is feeling better each day, Cooper is still coughing, but feeling better each day as well, and Coy, well, he's my trooper and rarely gets sick! Thank goodness!! We are enjoying this nice weather and we enjoy taking Cooper outside to watch the older boys play.

Here is a picture I snapped yesterday morning. I love seeing Vinton with his boys. The were both real tired after a Saturday of nothing, so they were catching up Sunday!

Coy was doing his homework last night, and one of his assignments was to read this book. He enjoys reading so much that his reading level is 3rd grade in the 6th month. I was impressed when I saw that. We are both very proud of him. So is Cooper! He loves listening to Coy read to him.

Busy Week

I have been told that I haven't updated our blog in a while, so here it goes...
Coy is cruising through 1st grade. He loves the challenges that it brings him. I went to listen to him recite a poem to his class. He did very well and I can see him in Speech/Drama when he gets older because of the expressions that he uses when he reads.
Carter is enjoying pre-school. He keeps talking about being in the "shoe club". He has been able to tie his shoes since last fall, but he keeps talking about being the only kid in his class in the shoe club. I know there are more than just him in the club, but for a while it was just him. We finally got his new glasses and he seems to be adjusting well.
Cooper is good too. He has been sick again however. He had a severe ear infection in one ear and a bit in the other. He was given a shot and things started working better real quick. He has been rolling from tummy to back and almost mastered back to tummy! Time flies!!
The motor in Tig's truck took another dump! It was in the shop for 10 long days. But, we finally got it back and he has been fighting the weather a lot lately. Hopefully it will cooperate for a while.
As for me, I'm keeping busy with the boys' activies and helping Tig whenever I can. We branded calves yesterday at Mom & Dads and my legs hurt real bad! I vaccinated and I think I did around 250 squats yesterday. These little legs aren't used to that! But it is all worth it!
We had Easter at my parents house today. All of us kids were there and we actually had a good time. We played Nurts and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Tig and I also celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary. It has been a great 8 years and we look forward to the next 8+ years!!
One last note, please pray for one of my co-workers. She tragically lost her husband last weekend to a heart attack. He was only 58 and it makes one very thankful for what they have.
