Cooper celebrated his 2nd birthday on October 19. I can't believe he is already 2!!!

He found my camera and WANTED me to take pictures of him. He kept saying "I do cheese" and then would want to see the picture on the camera after every time.

I thought this one was so funny

Here he is with all the loot from party #1Some new tools

He thought the chainsaw was a great wasy to open the presents

being sung to

Blowing out the candles

I think we sang to him about 5 times because he kept asking to do it again!!

Here are just some random pictures of this kid

This is what I saw the other day when I walked into the kitchen

then when I got closer I discovered this

he was hiding with his "friends" and for the rest of the day he would ask me where they were and then run to the cupboard and yell "I find you"

the "Cool Dude" he was so proud that he put the glasses on all by himself

he cracks us up everyday and we love him so much

he can sing "I am a Child of God" all by himself
he can count to 14
he loves to read books
he sings songs all the time
play-doh is fantastic
he is a big fan of Mickey mouse club house (he loves the Hot dog song)
he sings most of the abc's
loves to go to football games with Papa and get a tiger paw stamp
he is afraid of kids that are smaller than him but will play great with anyone that is the same size or bigger.
asks, on a daily basis, to go to the dr and listen to baby owen :)

I love this kid.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOPER!!!

Cooper turns 2 today.

I will post pictures soon

Fire Trucks!!!

Jerry's Home improvement had "Fire Safety Day" today, so we took Cooper to see all the fire trucks,ambulances, and Smokey the bear and the fire dog. He was a little nervous to get into the trucks because they were "to big" so he mostly just looked at them from afar with a death grip on either Grandma's or Papa's hand.

We got him to stand on the step of the fire truck by telling him the picture is for daddy!!(Chris was at a dental conference in LA)

we had to get a size comparison of the wheel there was so much going on it was hard to get him to look

"Cheese Daddy"

we were standing right by this ladder truck when they started putting it up Cooper was so excited!! We couldn't get him to walk away for anything.

It made me nauseous to watch it go up so high so I took a picture if Cooper and Grandma watching the ladder go up

After they took the ladder up they moved it all over this is out straight. they swung all the way around before putting it back down. Cooper watched the whole thing .

It was fun to see all the different rescue vehicles they had. I tried to get a picture of Cooper with the Fire dog and Smokey the bear but he was a little nervous to get close to them. he gave them each a high five and waved, from a distance, but no pictures.

a much needed update!!

so its been along time since I have updated our lives.. so here we go

Chris: Started working for Capital Dental Group in August.

Andrea: hangs out with Cooper tries to be crafty and is currently 28 weeks along. I can't believe how fatst this one is going.

Cooper: is the love of our lives. he loves living with papa and grandma, and asks for them constantly. he rides his trike all by himself, he can count to 10 without help and can count to 20 with some help. likes to go on the big potty and will go just about every time he tries we are not trying to potty train yet but maybe soon, he talks in full sentence's, and when he does something he's not supposed to he puts himself in Time Out!! , still loves "cars" and "Handy Manny" and has discovered Mickey mouse. He loves to dig in the dirt and play with play dough. he loves to read books and goes non-stop from the time he wakes up(usually 6:30-7am) until we put him in bed (8-8:30pm) . he also likes to give baby Owen hugs and tells his night-night every night. I can't wait for them to meet!!!

Okay enough rambling here are some pictures:

This happened last week on Sunday as we were headed to church. he went to step/jump of the front step and bent forward and started to fall he tried to catch himself but was on the edge so he slid onto the sidewalk face first. He didn't hit to hard and only cried for a few seconds. it looks much better now and the scabs are gone.

This summer Cooper had tons of fun with the water. He learned to drink from the hose and if he flung the hose around it would get people wet.

Siena and Cooper had the best time playing in the pool together. Siena taught Cooper how to jump in the pool and Cooper just loved having someone to play with!

Cooper loves to play with Janae and Kiera(most of the time) We went up for J birthday and of course they played house! Every time we go to heathers Cooper puts on those beads. and wears them as much as he can.

Cooper is so proud of himself that he can get the goldfish out himself now!! I enjoy it to since if he is hungry he can get himself a snack.

This is Cooper in a fort that we built. I love that he is smiling at the Camera. and yes he does carry that baby around quite a lot. he has recently moved on to carrying "woody" around lately

Cooper things

Cooper is quite the character lately!!! Here are some pictures to enjoy!! so in no particular order

This was at our wards Pioneer day picnic. Cooper saw that I had take my sandals off so he sat down took his sandals off grabbed my shoes and ran off

Chris and papa are helping Cooper be even more of a BOY than he already is!!

Yes that is a worm that he is holding an pulling apart! He thought it was funny to try and get me with it eeeewwwweee!!

My dad and Chris recently redid the garage. the insulated and put up sheet rock. So of course Cooper had to be right in the middle of the action.
Measuring the board

putting up the sheet rock. Chris and my were using drills to put up the sheet rock and cooper kept wanting to use them he was told that they were papa and daddy's drills so he went inside and found his and came out to help!! no one told him to do it!!

Cleaning up after he was done. This kid LOVES to sweep!!

I have been trying forever to get a picture of cooper and I together and he finally was smiling and I don't think I look to bad!

Cooper LOVES to help. when he does he tells us "i good helper" Chris was taking out the garbage so cooper had to get in on it

this cracked me up Chris apparently was being lazy and gave cooper the big trash bag and he took the small recycle bag.

some other things that crack me up about this kid...


Cooper and I ran some errands the other day. One of them was to the bank. I pulled up to the drive through window and as I rolled my window down Cooper says " Chicken nuggets. french fries and sweet sour sauce pease" I told him we are at the bank and will not be getting french fries today he then responded okay sour sauce please . Yes we do occasionally take Cooper out to fast food but I didn't think it was enough that he would know to order when we pulled up to a window or know what to order! this kid is to smart for me!!

Cooper was saying family prayer tonight, he repeats what Chris whispers to him, chris was ending the prayer when cooper didn't repeat what he was saying but instead decided to bless grandpa Jones' cows he wouldn't say amen until chris said bless grandpa's cows!!! It was so funny and cute!!

We Are having a .....
