I WON...AGAIN

There is this AMAZING company called 4moms!

It was started by 4 moms, hence the name.

They invent and make 4 of the

COOLEST,

AWESOME,

MUST HAVE

baby gear!

On their website, they have a place to "Share Your Story".

A couple weeks before Cooper had his surgery,

I shared Cooper's story, as a means to help raise dwarfism awareness.

The next week I got an email with the subject line,

"YOU HAVE WON A mamaRoo!"

I COMPLETELY forgot I even shared his story.

Winning a mamaRoo was the VERY LAST thing I expected.

As you can imagine,

seeing that email,

I was beyond excited!

I didn't say anything to Zane when I shared Coop's story,

so he was completely shocked that I won.

He kept asking me what a mamaRoo was.

I went back on their website and chose which print I wanted,

and placed my order.

My mother-in-law found the box on my doorstep

the morning after Cooper had his surgery!

Once we got home,

loved on Hunter and Paizlei for a while,

showed my Mom Coopie's incision,

we got down to business putting the mamaRoo together.

Cooper LOVES IT!!!!

So what is a mamaRoo?

A mamaRoo is not a baby swing,

or a baby bouncer.

The seat adjusts from a reclining/laying down setting,

to a sitting up setting.

It has the movements like what a Mommy makes

when she is standing up bouncing her baby,

or rocking side-to-side.

It also has these other settings:

car ride,

kangroo,

ocean wave,

tree swing,

and rock-a-bye.

It doesn't move like a swing.

It doesn't bounce like a bouncer.

It's movements are soft,

they don't aren't "jerky".

They are "natural"

Here are some pictures to show you the mamaRoo I won,

all because I "Shared Cooper's Story"!

 It is electric powered, has nature sounds, and an iPod dock.

 Can you tell he LOVES IT?!

Me, my sweet Cooper, and the mamaRoo!

My Little Teacher

A couple weeks ago,

I was getting ready for the day,

came out of my bathroom

and found this adorable little scene:

Big Brother teaching Little Brother how to play the DS!

Don't you LOVE how into it Cooper looks?

Love his facial expression!

 So cute!  They are both so into it!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how Cooper's tiny arm is resting on Hunter's arm,

and how Cooper is intently watching the DS as Hunter explains it all to him.

 The next day, Paizlei had to get in on it too!

I LOVE my life!

I truly feel like I have won the lottery!

I have my sweet little Hunter,

who has high-functioning Autism, ADHD and SID,

and is as sweet and tender as they come.

I have my GORGEOUS Paizlei,

who is full of sass and spunk,

is as feisty as they come,

and is ALL GIRL!

And, last but definitely not least,

I have my sweet Little Man, Cooper!

He is 1 in 40,000 births (achondroplasia statistic)!

Now THAT'S a lottery in and of itself!

He is the happiest baby I have ever seen!

I am TRULY BLESSED!!!

My Winnings

Last week, I entered a comment on Sue Neal's blog. I have watched Sue on KSL Studio 5 and have absolutely LOVED the idea's she has for card making. I have used some of her card ideas and blown them up for some of my scrapbook pages. Anyway, she was doing a giveaway last week and I left a comment as a means to enter the giveaway. Yesterday, Sue announced the winners on her blog and I was the first one she listed! To say I was excited, is putting it very mildly! To see what I won, click here and scroll down the the posting for the Give Thanks Giveaway post. Sue has amazing and fun ideas, as well as yummy recipes.
