Cooper's 1st Baby Shower Celebration!!!

Last Saturday, April 30th, Pat's sweet friends threw me a baby shower for Cooper. It was so much fun and just a delight to see all these women love on us. We were able to get all kinds of necessary things for this little one and it kicked off the feeling that he is coming SOON!!!!

Here are Kendyl, Pat and I before the shower. 

Gorgeous table with Greek Yogurt(my favorite), homemade granola, coffee cake, grapes and cookies, and sweet napkins with "Cooper Jordan" monogrammed on them. 

His 1st pair of jeans from the Phillips family

Pat made this AMAZING basket for her grandson. It had all kinds of new books, some of Jordan's old books, Jordan's 1st baseball mitt, Jordan's 1st Bible and then one to match it for Cooper, it was awesome and so sweet to go through. She also passed down Jordan's baby blanket that Cooper can use too!

our goodies!!!!

Lindsey and I with our sweet bellies! She is just a month behind me with Baby Beckett!!!

And as a GREAT surprise, the great-grandparents bought us our travel system stroller and car seat. The morning of the shower Lynn and Kendyl put it together for me and they gave it to me at the shower. 

I just had so much fun at this shower and am beyond thankful for all of our gifts for Cooper. 

Easter Celebration 2011

We spent the weekend in Conway celebrating Easter. Jordan played lots and lots of golf and I got a pedicure and relaxed :) We also were able to attend a Good Friday service, a service at New Life Church with Luke and then celebrate the Risen Lord today with my parents. We had a great time and a wonderful Easter dinner to really think on what Jesus did for us when crucified on the cross and the glory we gain through his resurrection! 

Praise you Lord! 

We are now home in the flood, ha! A great week ahead with a baby shower on Sat. in Little Rock and one in Fayetteville on Sunday, I'm so excited for these as we get closer to meeting our son. We are so thankful and beyond blessed to have people celebrate this season with us. I pray Cooper gets to feel this love and support all of his days. 

HAPPY EASTER MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS! 

Loving Choices Ultrasound

Last Thursday, I know I'm a week behind, but anyhow, last Thursday we were able to be a model at Loving Choices which is a pregnancy crisis center in Fayetteville. This allowed us to see little Cooper at 7 months and for my momma to be able to come up and see him. We got a healthy update with a great heartbeat and weighing 3lbs. I can tell that he has really grown and moves all the time. I love feeling his punches and kicks and knowing he is doing okay. 

My friend Stephanie is the manager of this location for Loving Choices and got to see him too :) She is expecting a little boy in September!

After the ultrasound mom and I got to shop and piddle. She stayed the night to help me hang curtains around my house, I'm still missing a couple sets that are being mailed to me so I'll post those soon. We had a blast just being able to work around my house together. 

I came down Friday and went to Beth Moore with Pat and my friend Erin. Such a great weekend to worship and learn from a wonderful teacher! I'm so thankful Pat allowed me to go. 

This past week was filled with lots of fun fellowship: we met neighbors out walking, had a neighborhood block party, community night fellowship and are visiting my parents for Easter weekend. 

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL! REJOICE OVER THE RISEN LORD!!!!!!

Friday we ate lunch in Fayetteville at my new favorite place: Briar Rose and then headed to Branson. Jordan didn't tell me where we were staying or what we would do all weekend. I was so excited when we pulled in! We checked in and then went to relax and watch the Master's. That evening we ate at Cantina Laredo and then came back to our cabin to watch Unstoppable and make smores. 

SAT. 

We woke up and had a wonderful breakfast on the patio of a Devil's Pool Restaurant before going shopping for a couple hours. After that he surprised me with a boat outing all afternoon! We had the best time just relaxing and cruising around on the lake, PERFECT!!! Afterwards, we went to Joe's Crab Shack and had a wonderful evening of enjoying the gorgeous weather.

I'm so thankful for him planning such a fun getaway weekend! Mello got to stay and play with dogs all weekend and seemed to be great when we picked him up!!! :) 

This week is filled with spending time with sweet family and friends along with turning 7 months pregnant on Thursday and getting to see our son then too! 

Happy Week Everyone! 

New Patio furniture :)

Last weekend with the gorgeous weather around we invested in some new patio furniture! We love being outside and having people over for BBQ's so this allows more seating and a cozy spot!










I am loving all the sunshine and nice weather with many afternoons out back with Mello! Jordan has enjoyed many rounds of golf these days :) we are doing great and getting more and more excited for Cooper! 27 weeks and doing just wonderful!!! :)
