Playin with Dad

"Dad, wake up!"

"Ready!"

"Yipee!"

"I caught it!"

Mr. Computer

No, we did not let Cooper play with our computer, but after many attempts at trying to get at it while we were working on it, I took out my old non-working computer and let him go at it. Needless to say, he loved it!

Tricks

We all teach our kids little tricks so here are a few of Coop's. He goes crazy with the kisses at the end ;-)

Crawling

It's official, Coop has finally switched to hands and knees crawling instead of army crawling. I love his little bum wiggling around in the air!

An Early Valentine's

Caleb took me out for an early Valentine's date since he is gone for the real thing. He surprised me with a rose, a cute card, a beautiful poem, and best of all, a check to pay off the rest of our car! We now own our car fair and square ;-) We then went to The Roof up in Salt Lake for a plethera of delicious, gormet food. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I sure do love my huddy dubby!

The official dropping off of the check. Ahhh, what a relief!

I just can't help myself!

Just look at these pictures and tell me you don't think he's the cutest little guy you've ever seen! I think my favorite part of every day is deciding what Coop is going to wear. I just can't help myself!

This last picture makes me laugh. So many faces, I just can't capture them all ;-)

Basektball Star

I know I'm posting alot lately but I'm just so proud of my boy. Look at his mad basketball skills! Thanks Grandma!

Dance Maniac

It doesn't matter what kind of music it is, it doesn't matter where we are, it doesn't matter who he's with, but when he hears a beat, he just can help but "shake it"!



And as you can tell, he quickly gets distracted ;-D

Cooper is 9 months old

Coop is 9 months old. He is one happy, fun-loving boy. I just love hanging out with him all day. Nothing can make me smile more than his cute face!

New York, New York

It took way too long to post it on there so I didn't want to do it again! Enjoy!

Organizing!

I just love to organize. I love the before and after and the sense of accomplishment! It's just a bit harder to get it done as quickly now that I have a little distraction scootin around ;-)

Dad, notice the labels on the all the little tupperwares you got for me!

Cute Kids

Ethan is now 6 months old, and getting cuter by the day. Is he not the cutest little boy you've ever seen? He has no interest in rolling over just yet, but he loves to sit-up and play with his toys. What a joy!

Could she be any more proud? As I was feeding Ethan, Ashlyn comes running up, telling me how I have to see the books on the stairs. I'm envisioning a few books strewn on the steps. Little did I know that Ashlyn was creating a masterpiece. After she showed me her artwork, we played find the book. Ashlyn would hide a book between the books and the stair. We then took turns guessing where she had hidden the book. It's almost uncanny how she guessed the right book it was under every time! Kids do the darndest things...and we sure love them for it!

TV Star Relatives

Look who we saw on TV today!

My First Haircut

Play by play of Coop's first haircut

What is going on?

Huh? What is that buzzing sound?

Cool comb! (the distraction)

Daddy got a haircut too...don't they look handsome?

Peek-a-boo!

I was hiding around the corner with the camera when Coop would poke his head around to find me. Just thought they were fun!

Happy Birthday Caleb!

This past Friday, Jan. 11th, we celebrated Caleb's birthday by having a surprise Ultimate Frisbee game at night in the snow. I wish now that we could have taken some action shots of the intense game but you wouldn't have seen much anyway, so here are some pics of the events follwing the game. For those who are interested in playing again (Primosch's & Hornes), we'd love to take you on anytime...you just name the place.

So, do we look alike?

No reason but cute!

Nothing big happened, no first time anything, but I just thought they were cute ;-)

Cheesy Grin!

Coop has started this thing where he squints his eyes and gives this super cheesy grin. It's the cutest thing ever! I just can't help but smile when I see it!

Cheese it up!

I'm funny!

More cheese!

How about some crackers with that cheese?
