Busy, Busy, Busy....

We have been way too busy! You can definitely tell school is about to start because ever since we got back from Curacao we have not sat down! Dane has been working hard farming and getting ready for the Briscoe Co. Celebration and I have been at workshops or working on my classroom ever since we got back to Texas! Our vacation was amazing and we all had such a great time! The island was beautiful but I missed Cooper WAY too much and was excited to get back home. The next day I was off to workshops to become prepared with being a new teacher at FJH! So needless to say I have had absolutely no time to blog! Kathy said she was kicking me out of the blogging world because its been so long! So I will try to be better and devote a little more time to this....
This past weekend was the big celebration...we had a great time and Dane rode a tractor in the parade. Cooper was supposed to ride with Dane but Dane did not think it was the safest thing since the tractor was so small and hard to drive (and we were running a little behind anyway). We enjoyed watching Dane though....he looked so good driving that CASE!!! Then we took Cooper to the rodeo and he had a ton of fun watching the horses and bulls. Hopefully in a year or two he can compete in the muttin bustin!
We also had something really great happen today. We got to sleep in until 11 first of all, which was so nice because we were all so worn out and Taylor stayed and hung out with us most of the day. She also took Cooper to see Andma and I am pretty sure they had a good visit. Then, about 20 minutes after Taylor left Cooper started saying "poopy". And for those of you who know Cooper, he continues to say this word like a broken record, over and over. So I start thinking maybe we should just go set him on the potty and see what happens. Maybe he really does have to "poopy". So Dane takes him because I think it is a false alarm and a few minutes later Dane calls me in the bathroom. Cooper actually did poopy in the potty!!! There are 3 year olds that don't poopy in the potty!!! Dane and I were so excited which made Cooper excited so for the next hour he kept wanting to go poopy in the potty (which of course he really did not have to go). I hate to jump the gun but maybe this potty training experience will not be so horrible....I will keep my fingers crossed!
Tomorrow is Cooper's first day of daycare. I am really nervous and dreading it so bad but I know it's a great place and he will make tons of friends! I will for sure provide an update with how our first day goes! Until then.....
