Just hanging out...

Cooper and Josie love to play hide and seek under their beds. Josie thinks it's SO funny to be in her own little "tunnel" where we can't see her. And Cooper loves to jump on his bed...

Fit 4 fun!

We took the kids to a local play place that had tons of slides, tunnels and bounce houses- it was a little too old for them but they had fun- I mean, can't you tell from their faces!?

Sweetness....

Yes, I am SO lucky to have so much sweetness in my life everyday. I just LOVE. LOVE. LOVE this girl!!! She is the sweetest, most adorable, most patient and loving little thing! Mmmmm.....
don't you just want to squeeze those cheeks?!













Anytime I don't hear her for a couple minutes I know exactly where to find her- in the bathroom wrapped up in the toilet paper!! She is also obsessed with remotes- what kid isn't?

Horsetooth Park...

Ok. So turns out 50 degrees isn't that warm!! It has been in the teens here so when it hit 50 we were like- yeah spring is coming- it's warm enough to go to the park- we froze our butts off. But it was SO nice to get some vitamin D and be in the sunshine- even if it was a little cold!

Swimming pool...

Today we went to the swimming pool with Laurel, Jackson and Cannon. The kids loved it and it was great to get out and do something active! There is a really cute little kid pool with a tower, slide and squirt guns. My favorite is the hot tub!!

True colors

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Brown

You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.

Milestones...

Yes, we have been busy, busy...

Cutting Teeth
Josie has cut two teeth and I think her upper two are coming in also. She has been miserable- poor thing. She has had a fever and is just really whiny. But her little teeth are so cute!

















Potty training
Cooper IS potty trained!! I guess he was totally ready because it only took two days and he is totally trained- he even stands up to pee (it's SO cute!). We have been 5 days and counting and have had NO accidents! He even wakes up in the morning dry! I am VERY proud of him. I thought it would take a LOT longer than this. Of course the kids teeth are going to rot out because of all the candy he has been getting for going in the potty. But hey- that's what dentist's are for- right? :)




Walking
Yes!She has been walking- It is SO exciting!! She took her first steps at nine months but hasn't actually started "walking" until now. She is very cautious and slow but she is getting braver and going longer distances every day. I think the most steps she has taken at once has been about 10.

Playhouse Disney!!

Playhouse Disney came to Fort Collins and it was SO much fun! We saw Mickey Mouse clubhouse, Handy Manny, Little Einsteins and Winnie The Pooh. Cooper and Josie both loved it and they had a blast. Cooper was so excited to see "Rocket" from the little Einsteins and Josie just clapped and bounced with the music the whole time. We went with a few friends who all have boys Cooper's age so that was fun too.

CHRISTMAS!

Wow. This blog is in serious need of some updating! We have had a marathon Holiday season and it is just winding down finally Whew!

Merry Christmas- from Santa's little helper.

Grammy Jane and the two monkeys
Cooper and his new BFF- his cousin T.J







Well, we flew to California for my family Christmas party- we were there 3 days. It was so great to see my new niece- Kendall and to visit with everyone. Cooper got SO many presents!! We were home 3 days then packed up the kids and the car and headed out to Utah. We ended up staying for 1 week and it was so much fun! Cooper played the whole time with his cousin T.J who is 1 month older. He had so much fun. He also played with all the other cousins and all his toys from Christmas. We had Christmas at Joe's moms house- it was great. Except Cooper's big present from Santa was a huge train table so we left it at home and did a small Christmas morning- he still loved it though. We also had a blast at Joe's dads house. Cooper rode the horse all by himself, rode the 4 wheeler (with Dad), and got pulled behind it on a sled. He had SOO much fun. He is such a little daredevil- he has no fear! When we got back we surprised him with yet another gift- a Thomas Train table- which he LOVED and has not stopped playing with it since he got it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Some randoms...

I was getting some pics from my old camera and came across these pictures that I forgot about. They are so cute! We took these a couple months ago. They are of one of the lakes right up the street and a beach we loved going to this summer. I love the picture of Joe and Cooper.

The boys...

Here are Cooper and a couple of his good friends- Christian and Niko. They are moving in right up the street from us so we are SO excited! Here they are playing in the "backyard" and exploring the "cave" (aka excess water tunnel) And they we went and played on the trampoline. They had tons of fun and Cooper loves hanging with the big boys.
