May was such an incredibly busy month that I can barely remember what happened, good thing I write everything on my calendar, if I didn't I think I may just have that month erased completely from my memory. Ry was still working down in Utah at their Wasatch shut down and I was trying to fill my day with Cooper and have him have as much fun as he could before I started working for Ry. Our spring was surprisingly pleasant this year, usually we get freak snow storms that makes everything grey and messy, but this spring was gorgeous; we got to enjoy the buds and blossoms a lot longer than normal, we had days that were warm enough to hang out outside in tee shirts and shorts, it was perfect!
Coop got to have a few play dates with his best friends, the Hales, and his favorite was jumping on the tramp with the sprinkler, it took a lot of coaxing to get them to get off even though by the end they were all freezing. Among our other activities we went to McKee's and saw the baby goat and all of the other cute baby animals, Coop was in heaven because he just loves all animals. We had lots of picnics in our backyard followed by lots of time in the sandbox. I let Coop sleep in my bed one night and that was all it lasted, he must've got some of my genes that cause him to take up the entire bed because it was the worst night of sleep I have ever had, he was literally sprawled out either at a diagonal or horizontal angle the whole night.
The top left picture is of an "A" Cooper drew and then told me "momma, "A" he was quite proud of himself. The second picture is a picture of my first flowers Coop picked for me, it was the sweetest thing ever, he brought them to me and gave me a kiss, I have no idea where he learned that, but I loved it. The rest of the pictures are backyard picnics and the pretty blossoms on the apple tree in our neighbors yard.
We went to the park a few times and threw rocks, sticks and flowers in the river. I let him ride the gross rides at the mall, and he got to play in his little pool in the backyard and I let him stay up late with me a couple nights to watch movies and have popcorn, he was in heaven. I was having the hardest time with the thought of leaving him, even though I knew I'd see him in the day it was still physically painful for me to think about leaving my sweet nugget.
MOTHER'S DAY
MAY 11, 2013
Ry was still out of town on Mother's day but he sent me some beautiful flowers the day before. On Mother's day I went to visit Ry's Mom and then went to church with my family, I'm sad I didn't get a picture of my Mom that day, but I guess maybe it's because we only stayed for an hour of their church and then let Coop go home for a nap.
I could not be more in love with Cooper and having the privilege to be his Momma is more than I could have ever imagined. He is such a sweet boy and I absolutely love the calling of a Mother more than anything in the world, I am so blessed to have Coop be my baby and I hope I can be as good as Mom as my Mom was and is to me.
WORKING WORLD
I had a few day shifts before I actually started my month of nights, that would be the top picture where I actually look like a normal functioning human instead of a suicidal zombie, is that even possible? My Dad took off a month of his work to work for Ry, he worked days and I worked nights, but it was nice to be able to see him every day. My work was boring and long, sitting and safety watching can never be anyone's dream job, I tried entertaining myself with weird and random things and then eventually brought ear buds and listened to Pandora. The first week was the hardest, I would nap during our "lunch" break, which was at midnight, but by the end of the month I was completely adjusted to being awake all night with no naps. In the beginning when I would get home I tried staying awake until Coop went down for his nap at noon, but after about five days of this I couldn't function so I had Mareesa watch him so I could sleep a few hours, hang out with him for an hour before his nap and then I went back to sleep. Coop also got sick that first week I was working and I was totally convinced it was because he missed me and his body was making himself sick, I almost quit but Ry and my family reminded me that I could do anything for a month, and that he was in good hands with my sister and mom watching him. You can see that I look progressively worse as I worked, the happy chipper self faded pretty fast, my dad got burned by a welder, Mckaid got acid in his eyes, and two other dumb dumbs got hurt while I was there, things were crazy sometimes. I made some great friends while I was out at Simplot and got to know my way around, it wasn't really that horrible, but I'm not sad that it's over.
MAREESA'S GRADUATION
MAY 28TH 2013
I cannot believe that my baby sister has graduated high school, it seems like just yesterday that I graduated and here I am planning our ten year reunion. I had to work the night before graduation and had planned on sleeping before the barbecue at my parents but got called back out for a few hours so this day I was literally running on maybe an hour of sleep, thank goodness for concealer. Mareesa announced favorite teacher and graduated with highest honors, she looked beautiful. We had a fun BBQ and graduation party before Mareesa's graduation which was at 6:00PM she left early to take pictures with friends so I didn't get a picture with her because Coop and I left her graduation early so we could both go to bed, thank goodness Ry gave me the night off, I was dead.
