Family Photos

We went and had some family photos taken today. We also did some of Kooper alone with a number one since he is now one year old. They turned out really good. Here is the website to go to. www.s121.com. Then you click on Portraits Online at the top, then find the Woodlands Mall link and click there. Then you will type in Martin in the name box, then click on Jeremy 1-17-09 Martin, it will then ask for a password which is kooper27, then you will see our pictures come up. We ordered the first picture for our mantle, I can't wait to get it.

Oh what fun...

It is to celebrate Christmas and a birthday within two days! :) Well we can finally relax. We had a great Christmas with our families. Christmas Eve we went to my cousin Jenneth's house. We had dinner and did our Chinese gift exchange. It was the first time for some of my cousins to see Kooper in person. The kids had so much fun playing together. We have eight kids in the family now and all but two were there. It was great to see everyone again. Christmas day we stayed home and had my mom and dad and Jeremy's mom and sister over for lunch. We started the morning by letting Kooper get his presents from Santa, then we held off on the rest until everyone else got here. Then we had lunch and opened all of our other presents. Kooper got some really neat stuff. I got a new Fossil purse, a Sony camera and some beautiful earrings. Jeremy got some clothes, a medicine ball, and a new leather jacket. After everyone left we all took a nap! Two days later... we celebrated Kooper's first birthday. I can't believe he is already one! It seems like yesterday that he was just learning to crawl. We had quite a group over for his birthday. Jeremy grilled hotdogs and hamburgers and we had cake and ice cream. A friend of mine made cake, check out the pictures in the slide show, she did a GREAT job. I loved it. I branched out and made a cake of my own. I wanted Kooper to have a cake that he could dive into so I made him his own baseball cake. He didn't seem too interested in it so we had to help him a bit, which even then he didn't want the cake. What kid doesn't want cake!?!?! Oh well, I'm sure next year he will be all over it. Then he opened presents, which again he got some great toys. Now I'm just wondering where on earth am I going to put all these toys. I told Jeremy we needed a bigger house just to store all the toys. After the birthday party we again all took a nap. Today, Sunday, we didn't do much of anything. We layed around at my parents and went to the grocery store. All in all, we had a great Christmas and birthday party. Thanks to everyone for coming to Kooper's party. Don't forget to check out the two slide shows I made.

Kooper's only chance at playing football

Here is some video of Kooper playing with his football his Grandpa Zdunkewicz got him. I refuse to let him play football when he gets older so this is his only chance. :)

This was in the car on our way to home from Alabama. We went and surprised Britni for her birthday. They were playing Auburn at Auburn on her birthday so we drove to Alabama and surprised her. We were able to stay for the game and have dinner with her two nights while we were there. She was VERY surprised to see us. I just thought this was such a cute picture of Kooper.


This was taken on our snow day.



Snow day two!

Gingerbread Houses

Well last Friday we made Gingerbread Houses in my class. Each student got to make their very own house, so needless to say it was chaotic, but fun. We had LOTS of parent helps so it went very well. Their houses turned out great and they are being displayed in our school library. Here is a picture of me with my team. Most of us ordered aprons for Gingerbread houses. We love dressing up! :)

Snow!

I can't believe it snowed in Texas! We were at school last Wednesday when someone said it was snowing. Some of the teachers ran outside to check it out and sure enough it was snowing. We were all so excited, I felt like a kid again! I couldn't resist taking Kooper out in the snow, even though it wasn't much, I still wanted to be able to tell him that he was out in the snow. When we got home it was still snowing and some actually collected in the backyard on our patio funiture. I was able to make a tiny snowman too! I know Kooper won't remember it but I have pictures to prove it!

He's Walking!!!

Well we practiced and practiced this weekend and... he's walking now! He will pull himself up at the table or couch and then take off wherever he wants to go. He can even walk with stuff in his hands. He has a bat in one hand and the remote in the other, just like a man! :) We are so excited!!
