Way too honest!!

I had to post this because I have been laughing all night about it!
So first of all Weston and I aren't the most musically inclined people in the world, I think Im the only girl in the world that can play the piano but cant carry a tune to save my life...and then Weston is one of those that thinks he can sing but really he cant!!! Our poor kids have no hope!! If you're thinking "oh....it cant be that bad".....think again, its really really bad!!
So now that you're caught up and know about our beautiful singing voices last night when we were having family home evening we told Kooper that we were going to sing I Am A Child Of God...so Weston and I start singing and a few seconds into it Kooper puts both hands over his ears and starts saying, "I don't like that noise, I don't like that noise....You guys are killing me, you're killing me, stop!!!"
REALLY??? Even a 3 year old knows how bad we are...that's sad!!

Easter, Easter, and More Easter!

I feel like Easter lasted all week at our house this year, which is ok because its one of my favorites! Anyway on Tuesday we started out with an Easter Egg hunt with the Mom's group that we go to. It was really fun, Kooper wasn't too sure about it at first, well I take that back he was super excited until they said go and he realized some of the older kids could run faster than him so he kinda stared to throw a fit saying" I cant do this, I cant get anything" ha ha what is up with him, he is so competitive these days! Anyway once he realized there were more than enough eggs he was a happy little camper!
That night we colored Easter Eggs, we had so much fun. Kooper was so into it this year which was so fun because usually he is so not into "crafty projects."
Daddy thinks he is so cool, can you tell??
We decided to have a little barb-q/ Easter egg hunt with a few of our friends on Friday night. Weston and I love to have people over, although this time it wasn't as easy having a party being 37 weeks prego! It turned out really good, the kids loved it and that's what matters...right??
After a few minutes of collecting eggs I couldn't find Kooper, so I went inside and found him cracking all of his eggs open to see what he got...the hunt wasn't even over yet but apparently he had gotten enough!
Kooper and one of his best little friends Karissa having dinner together:)
I sent Weston to the store to grab a few last minute things and he came home with a big egg pinata and a bunch of candy! He is such a kid at heart:)
Then of course Sunday morning topped it all off. Kooper was so excited to find his Easter basket, the Easter Buuny made a little trail and he had to follow it to find his basket. When he was about through the trail he sat down and said that he needed a break, he wanted to eat pancakes and then he would find his basket! ha ha
We had such a good week, of course we miss family like crazy and Holidays like this makes me so homesick, but Im so thankful for the friends that we have made and the memories we are making with our own little family!

Butter....Seriously??

When I walk into the kitchen and see this.......(this is leaving him alone for 1 minute)I know its never a good sign....
I look to his room, his door is shut...I know this is going to be interesting so I grab my camera and find this...
For some odd reason my sweet little Kooper is OBSESSED with butter...yes I said butter!!! He loves it, for instance the other day I said to him,"Koop come and eat, we are having your favorite, spinach ravioli (which he really does love)," and he immediately says, "no mom, butter is my favorite."
So this is the thing we don't even eat butter, we have always used spray butter, I keep some butter in the freezer for baking and that's why when I see the chair by the freezer I know what Kooper is after! We can get this kid to eat anything if we tell him that we will put butter on it...is this a good thing or a bad thing? Just posting these pictures I'm gagging, I hate butter and to eat a whole stick...are you kidding me? Well he obviously didn't eat the whole stick but even one bite would send me over the edge! So really Koop, you're going to pick butter as your favorite food??? Can we even call it a food? SICK!!

Soccer Mom!

Have you ever imagined something in your mind and then it turns out so incredibly different?? Well that seems to happen to me quite often! And this whole soccer mom thing being one of those things that was imagined so different! So Weston and Kooper have been practicing all these sweet moves, scoring goals, and passing the balls for a few weeks now so I was thinking by his first game he was going to be semi-pro.... ha ha boy was I wrong!! Although in these first few pictures he looks pretty convincing......
So this was the problem....he did really good until the other team would come and kick the ball from him, how dare they...right??? We have been taught not to take toys (balls) from other kids while they are playing with them, so why on earth would these kids just come up and kick the ball right away from him...he was playing with it first!!!
Oh boy...so there you have it, I forgot to explain that it's okay when playing sports to take the ball, which if I would have it would have avoided several on the field melt downs! I wish I would have gotten some pictures of him pouting and stomping around after the ball was stolen, but I was too busy trying to figure out why the heck he was so mad...."DUH Mom its because we don't take other kid's toys (balls)"
So after so many times of getting the ball taken from you I guess playing in the goal is a lot more fun!
I love this picture, he is just so content taking a break drinking his juice box.
All in all it was a fun day, it was so cute to see our little boy attempting to play a sport, he is growing up way too fast! He may not be semi-pro like I was thinking but we are so proud of our little soccer player and Im by far the proudest soccer Mom around! Love you Koop:)

A well needed visit home!

After being away from your family and friends for awhile there is honestly nothing in this world that I love doing more than going home to spend quality time with everybody. This time was so different because I wasnt working 90 hours in a week so I just got to enjoy having time to do whatever I wanted, it was just what I needed. I have been feeling so homesick lately, and its amazing what being around the people that mean the world to you can do for you in one short week!
While we were there my mother in law watched Kooper while Weston and I and our besties went on an over nighter. The day was perfect, it started out by my amazing friend Julie and her cute mom(my other mother) took me to get a pedicure and then out to lunch at my all time favorite "PF." Julie of course went overboard and spoiled the new baby with a whole storage bin of clothes, diapers, wipes, toys... you name it, it was in there! I honestly don't know what I would do with out this girl, she is one of those best friends that you can tell anything too, her shoulder is always there for you no matter what, she is such a good example, and I know that she would do anything for me! Anyway back to the perfect day... after being spoiled with pedicures and lunch, Weston and I headed down to St George to meet Julie and Craig. Weston and I did a little shopping, got our truck detailed and enjoyed some of that amazing St. George sunshine! When Craig and Julie got down there we went to the temple....
Went to Samurai 21 and enjoyed some sushi....
The girls had lots of "pillow talk" time, and lots of laughs...you know the laugh when you laugh so hard it hurts....
The boys had lots of...um... I guess showing each other their "apps" on their I phones??? Is that what boys do? What ever it is, they are totally into it!The next day the boys went golfing and the girls went shopping. We had such a good time, it was well needed especially because we will be very busy here in about 4 weeks...
We had so much fun at home, Im so thankful that we both have such amazing families that love Kooper so much, he is so lucky to have them, and yes we are too! Thank you so much Grandma Pam for watching Koop so that we could have a little over nighter!
