Orlando Trip

Jason and I traveled to Orlando to visit Jim, Debbie, and Wes for 4th of July week. Cooper was awesome on the airplane despite the fact that our flight was delayed because of storms and it was WAY past his bedtime. He was so good! Still though, it was a huge process with a 1 year old. I definitely feel like it would have been easier if Cooper was 6 months younger or 6 months older. He was right at that age where he wants to get into everything and he is capable too, but doesn't understand why he can't. We had a great visit in Orlando with lots of pool time with Cooper. He loved it!

Goodbye Harpers Way

 We made our last visit to Harpers Way the day before closing. This has been a long process but we are so happy with where we are. It was a little bittersweet to go through our first house for the last time. A lots has happened here! This is the house we came home to on our honeymoon, it is the house we brought Flash too, and it is the house we brought our baby home to from the hospital. It has been a great house and we have had so many wonderful experiences and firsts in this house as a family. It is definitely time for us to move on with our growing family!

Horse Farm

 We have all kinds of awesome things to look at in our new house including a beautiful horse farm that backs up to our backyard. Cooper loves to go down to the fence and look at the horses!!!! He always says OOOHHHHHHH!!!!! 

 ooooooo!!!!!!!!

House Projects

Finally I am out of school!!! This was definitely the school year that wouldn't end. I finally had my first day for summer vacation on June 23rd. Now that I am out of work we have some time to get started on some house projects. Things get a lot easier in the Trueblood house when I stay home and I can't wait to spend some time with my boy!

 Jason replaced the dishwasher!!!! I was a little afraid that we would have a Tim Taylor situation and something would flood or blow up but he did a great job!

 This is my summer project. I have been working to create a play space for Cooper in the basement. I wanted to paint a fun mural on the wall with magnetic paint so he could put cars, trucks, and planes on the wall. This is the starting sketch of the mural

 Road is done with all of the transportation vehicles sketched out.

 More progress

 All done!!!!

Landscaping...ugh!!!!! The people that owned the house before us I think made it a personal challenge to put in the most ridiculous and non-user friendly landscaping possible. I now have inherited 65 rose bushes! Who has 65 rose bushes???? Apparently this girl. I have called landscaping companies to ask about removing them etc. and they literally laugh at me when I tell them what I am trying to take out. We decided to start small and take out 4 trees... Ha ha!

 after...you can see the house!!!

Really???!!!! We are in so much trouble....

This child is busy busy busy!!!! He moves constantly and is into EVERYTHING!!!! Maybe teaching zumba until 39 weeks was a bad idea for getting my child to sit still in the long run. 

 I am so glad we have these nice big windows that go all the way to the floor so Cooper can blow bubbles on them!!!! I don't think these windows will ever be clean with Flash and Cooper...oh boy!

 We LOVE climbing. Better yet, we love stacking things and then climbing.
