Christmas Time!

I love this time of year! It all starts with black Friday, yes that is almost better than Christmas for me even though a lot of the time I have most of it done, its just the thrill and of course you can always find something that is a good deal:)
This year has been especially fun because Kooper is at such a good age. I love that I can some what use the.."Santa's watching you better be good" tactic. I have been waiting my whole life to use that! I love that he knows the Christmas songs and always wants us to sing them with him, preferably "Rudolf." I love that his favorite thing to do at night is "go look at the pretty decooooations." I love that before he can even open his eyes in the morning the first thing we have to do is open a square from that little event count down calender and he may or may not get the little chocolate before breakfast (don't judge its the holidays)!
Kooper loves Santa, he gets so excited when he sees him, whether its a fake Santa or a real Santa. He has been able to sit on 2 Santa's laps, he loves it but at the same time he gets a little shy and will just whisper what he wants to him. This year he wants a "blue barbie jeep" thanks to his cute little friend Kaydence. She has a pink one and for a long time...like months he has said he wants a pink barbie jeep, then this past month or so he has realized that pink is for girls so now he wants a blue barbie jeep.
Im looking forward to Christmas morning and seeing his cute little face, its amazing how much kids bring such a special spirit into the Holidays. Happy Holidays!
We got to go to the "North Pole!" Kooper had a blast, he can't stop talking about it.
It had so many cute little rides.....
Even if your not so little......
Thumbs up!!
Kooper was looking at the reindeer, we were on a train ride and they have a bunch of reindeer off to the sides of the train. It was really cute!
He was being really funny about this Santa, he didnt want to get too close. I love the look on his face!
Feeding the deer...
Last but not least the CANDY CANE COASTER!! Kooper loved this little roller coaster, I think he might be a thrill seeker like his father....great!
This is what happens after a long hard morning at the North Pole......sound asleep!! YAY!!

Happy Birthday Kooper

Honestly, how do they get from this......
To this......I have no idea where time has gone but my baby is three!

Dear Kooper,
Happy Birthday! We can't believe that it has been three years since you came into our lives! Time has gone by so fast! People always use to tell us to watch out because he will be big before you know it, and now look at you! Your such a big boy, you're so independent and you have to do EVERYTHING by yourself! You have changed so much over this past year and we love every second of it, okay maybe not every second of it...your tantrums are a little over the top but then again what 2 year old doesn't have their fair share of melt downs:) You are such a little chatter box and I love it! I was telling Daddy the other day that there is nothing more sweet to me than to hear you say,"I love you Mommy." It melts my heart every time. You are so considerate of others around you, there is never a time that goes by that if I let out a frustrated sigh you will ALWAYS reply, "whats wrong mommy, don't be sad it okay." Or if you hear a baby crying you are always so concerned and you want to make sure the baby is okay. You bring so much joy and laughter into our home, we can't even remember what life was like without you, it must of been so boring.
Since we have moved you have been my best friend, I love playing with you everyday. I love our silly little conversations, I love our cuddle time, I love when you want me to just hold you, I love your sweet innocent prayers, I love in the mornings listening to you try and sing along to Mickey Mouse Club House(your poor little singing voice doesn't stand a chance if its anything like mine or Daddy's), I love that you hold my cheeks and tell me I'm pretty and then proceed to give me butterfly kisses, Eskimo kisses, real kisses then head butts(thanks Daddy)!
Thanks for being the good boy that you are, you have taught us so much over the past three years and we have grown so much in so many ways because of you. We are so lucky that you are our Son and that our Heavenly Father trusted us enough to raise such a perfect little boy! Happy Birthday!

Love Mommy and Daddy

We are having a......

On Saturday we were able to find out what we are having! We are thrilled to be having a .........

BOY!!!!!!!!!!

We couldn't be happier to have two little boys running around our house soon..(3 counting Wes)! Weston is one proud Daddy, for some reason its like some sort of accomplishment and boost to their ego to have a boy...why?? I have NOOO idea! Im not sure that Kooper quite gets it but, he always talks about him and whenever we ask what we should name the baby, lately he always says," Baby Jesus." I think its just because we have been talking a lot about Baby Jesus the past few weeks and so now he thinks that that's a great name for the baby in my belly!
I feel so blessed to be having a baby, I know so many people struggle getting pregnant or even having kids and so to be pregnant with my second child Im so overwhelmed with gratitude. I love being a Mom and I pray that I can be the best little mommy ever to my boys!

Way behind!

Why do I do this to myself! Im so behind in posting now I just feel overwhelmed and I dont even want to do it. And why am I behind...I dont really know, its not like I have a super busy life here, I guess I just find better things to do:) So considering that we saw Santa yesterday and I have some way cute pictures I better post about Halloween first so it looks like Im kinda on the ball.
We had such a good Halloween this year, Kooper is a little older so it makes it so much fun! We went to a little carnival at one of the schools with Craig and Julie and their twins, it was a blast and Kooper loved it!
The cutest little pirate in the world! Love this little guy!
Bean bag toss....
He was too far away at first, so of course what else would you do but walk right up to the pumpkin and throw the bags in!
