It started snowing around 3 this afternoon so i thought "Hey lets let Cooper go "play" in the snow". so out we went. He wasn't to sure at first but then he was running all over the place.

Then about an hour later we went out again!as you can tell it was still snowing and had covered the ground. Cooper was so excited to be out there. Sorry this isn't the best(the snowflake covering his face) but you can somewhat tell how happy he is to be out in the snow!

One Little Cooper Jumping on the Bed...

ELDER JONES

Kevin is officially in the Field (for nonLDS readers, it means that he is in the Czech Republic). Here he is with his New Companion Elder McGlaughlin. They are serving in Ostrava, Czech Republic,( It is southeast and close to the border of Slovakia.)

Some Fun

Cooper found out where we put the candy. It was on the TOP of the shelf. He stretched up on his toes and was able to get his fingers on the felt feet of the Santa, he only whined for about 2 seconds, until he realized the candy was now all over the floor then he wanted down and wnet after them.

Chris was at home with Cooper and this is how he found him!

Cooper found his swing the other day and kept wanting to play with it so Chris got it out and put Cooper in it. He thought it was great.

Cooper just cracks us up all the time. It is so fun to watch what he learns each day.

It's begining to look alot like Christmas

We went to Lincoln City last weekend to get our Christmas tree! We went up with Scott, Angela and Ethan. It was fun. this is the best picture I could get of Cooper. he would be looking and smiling at me but as soon as I would go to take a picture he would look down.

Cooper had fun but kept wanting to go running through the trees himself but since it was on the side of the mountain we wouldn't let him. So he settled for a bowl of goldfish in the WARM truck.

This is the view from "Naked Man" the spot where we got the trees.Cooper was a little scared of the tree at first but then thought it was great fun to put the ornaments on, since Chris showed him that some had candy inside.

Cooper got the ornament on all by himself!

Here is the decorated tree!!

Cooper the CUTE!!

thanks Shanna for the outfit I love it!!!

Not much has been going on around here lately,
Chris has been studying for boards, he takes them the week of thanksgiving.
I got the BEST birthday present... 24 hours off, Chris took Cooper and went to Lincoln city for the weekend. it was weird to not have anyone to put to bed or feed or take care of . I was glad I got the time to myself but I started to really miss them.
Cooper is mostly walking now. That has presented a new set of well let's call it fun. He loves to climb and EVERYTHING. but we sure love him

this that and the other

Forward facing!!!
cooper now gets to face forward in the car and as you can see he LOVES it.

our little Indian.
I thought this face was the best.


Cooper loves to take bubble baths

For Family Home Evening this week we carved pumpkins!

Cooper went went the attack method.

Chris concentrating hard.
(he was trying to hurry because he still had to go to the store to get things for my birthday the NEXT day)

Cooper wasn't to sure about this whole thing

notice the face

Wait dad i want to do it!!

"See I can do it"

The happy family!

I love getting to do fun things with my little family. I can't wait for the holidays to build more memories!!

Happy 1st Birthday Cooper!!!

I can't believe it has already been a year since we had Cooper!!. This last year has been a great one. Cooper is a joy in our lives and continues to impress us with how smart of a little guy he is. He loves to study things before he does them and them is an instant pro when he does. He has stared walking and is now into everything all the time and giggles when he knows he's not supposed to be somewhere. I love watching him grow into a little person with his own personality. Here is a year of pictures!!
ENJOY!!
