Funny

Not even sure what was so funny but boy was he one happy, naked little guy!

Future Employees of Home Depot

The first Saturday of every month Home Depot has a kids club.  Coop can go get a free apron and build a small project for free.  He absolutely loves it!  Can you tell we've gone 3 times and each time forgotten to bring the apron we already had?  

He's walkin'

I would just like to document that this little guy...

...is such a Daddy's boy!

And I couldn't be happier about it :-)

Dental School

Just in case you haven't heard...Broc got accepted to Midwestern University dental program (here in Glendale Arizona). We are so excited and I am so proud of my wonderful husband! We will be moving to Wenatchee by the end of the month to live with Brian and Barb until school starts in August. I am happy we will be missing most of the harsh Arizona summer but happier to get some quality time with the in-laws!

Bookworms

I love that I have this picture for both boys. I love to read so I'm glad they are enjoying it already at such a young age :-)

Christmas

Our Cute Parents!

Only seemed appropriate that they be on a tennis court ;-)

Happy Bowling Day Everybody!

The joys of new PJs

As you can see the kids were soooo happy to get their December 1st PJs--thanks grandma! Good job Dex, at least one of you was ready for the picture. (Picture complements of Cassi.)

Let it Snow!

I love snow. I also married a man who loves snow. And we made some babies that inherently love snow as well. It makes for a very happy family when we finally get some! Here are some of our recent snow activities.

Activity #1

Coop loves to help shovel the snow. Hopefully that lasts to when he's a little older and can actually do some good!

Activity #2

Ok, so its not snow technically but its the same concept. We had a fun time introducing ice skating to Coop at Caleb's Northstar Christmas party. His skates were about 8 sizes too big but he had a good time anyway.

Ignore the super red/chapped lips. He has a bad habit of licking his lips although we keep reminding him not to.

Activity #3

Coop LOVES to sled. He could care less that its 17 degrees out or that his fingers are like ice cubes or that his nose resembles Rudolph, he just wants to keep sledding. And after a couple runs with Daddy, he was ready to venture off on his own.

And even Carter was getting in on the action too!

Maybe he saw his big brother and thought he should follow but shortly after Coop's solo run, Carter tried his own solo run by scooting down the hill. Not sure if that was his intent or not:-)

Needless to say we are enjoying the snow and would love to receive more so...

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Block Stacks Beware!!!

Decorating the Tree

Carter just wanted to eat the lights.

Cooper wanted to hang every ornament.

And in the end, both boys just wanted to wrestle.

Spanish Immersion Dance Festival

Truman sang and danced tonight. He had a great time performing and we enjoyed watching.

9 Months!

This big boy is 9 months old already! Most people tell me he is Cooper's twin and I agree that he has some similarities but he is becoming his own little man. A little info on Carter: He's a bit temperamental but mostly happy. He just started crawling but still has no hair. He has many nicknames in the house (i.e. Tarter, Tartsky, Mr. Lumpy, etc) and we just love him to death.

We had a little photoshoot today to capture his 9 month cuteness. It took over 100 shots to get a good one with the hat on but we finally pulled it off.

Then I figured I'd kill 2 birds with one stone and get Coop in there too.

(Really, I couldn't wait to get them both all dressed up in their Christmas outfits :-)

And I saved the best for last. This one is my favorite!

(It really accentuates Carter's lumpiness.)
