Back again!!

Yes Im back again! let me know if you need an appt. Ill be in town until the first of the year. Thanks!

Our baby is ONE!

One Year ago today our lives changed forever. One year ago today I had never been so scared and so excited all at the same time. One year ago today we witnessed a miracle, his name is Kooper. It seems like is was only yesterday that I was holding your tiny little body in my arms, watching you sleep, and thanking my Father in Heaven that I finally got you here. You have been nothing but a blessing since the day we brought you home. Its amazing how such a tiny little spirit can fill your home with so much love, joy, and laughter. I truly cherish every second that we spend together. I would have never imagined that being a Mom would be the absolute best thing that I have ever done. Thank you for making me want to be a better person, thank you for always making me smile and thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your Mom. Kooper you are so blessed to have so many people that love you so much but most especially your Dad and I , we love you more than you will ever know you make us so proud. Thank you!
Happy Birthday our sweet baby boy!


"BIG TALL BOY"

EARTHQUAKE

PRELIMINARY EARTHQUAKE REPORT
A moderate earthquake occurred at 8:18:42 PM (PST) on Friday, December 5, 2008.
The magnitude 5.5 event occurred 26 km (16 miles) WNW of Ludlow, CA.
The hypocentral depth is 6 km ( 4 miles).

I have officially felt my first earthquake, it was only for a few seconds but it was defiantly enough to scare the ...... out of me! I think my heart may of stopped and I just froze. I was at the computer and Wes was on the couch, in fact he thought I was shaking it thats how bad it was! A few minutes after I had quit shaking and could think clearly I thought to myself how thankful I am to have our 72hour kits and first aid kits ready to go. There is so much comfort in the thought of feeling somewhat prepared, I'm so thankful for our church for always pushing and pushing "be prepared", if it wasn't for that I really don't think I would have anything prepared if something were to happen. But as far as food storage goes, we will probably starve after 72 hours! :)

Koopers Party!

Kooper isnt officially one yet but when we went home for Thanksgiving we decied to have his birthday party so that family and friends could be there. We had so much fun! Thanks to all the Family and friends that came to support Koop on this special day, we love ya!:) He made the biggest mess, it was pretty funny.


Kooper and my cute sister, or Aunt Jo Jo.... she made the adorable snake cake:)
Koopers Birthday Cake, he loved it!He wasn't to sure about the presents, I think he liked the paper better.
Some of Kooper's friends and cousins.

Hectic

You know its time to update your blog when you have TWENTY-SEVEN comments!! Its been a little hectic around here lately, good hectic... but hectic! We have had the privilege of having both of our families come and stay with us. My parents came a week before Halloween, we had so much fun! We went to Disneyland which is always a good time, Koop is still a little young to enjoy it but my nieces had a blast! The weather was so nice when they were here so we spent a lot of time at the pool. The week after they came, I went home to work, I stayed so busy it was great(thank you to all of my dedicated clients:)) When we were home it was Koops first Halloween and it was fun to be around family, he got so much candy that he obviously doesn't eat, but don't worry Grandpa Kent took care of that!:) The week after that my in laws came to visit us, we spent a lot of time at the beach, shopping and just being together, it was great!
Sorry about the long post, hopefully things will slow down and Ill have more time to stay updated on life!
The whole fam at Diseyland

After splash mountain, we were so wet...and yes I had on white pants!
Koop was a lion for Halloween, He was so happy all night, I think he knew he looked cute:)

We had to go to Santa Monica so Kent and Pam could reminisce, its one of our least favorite beaches, its always cold!

Hair Appointment

Just a quick reminder, or for those of you that don't know, I will be coming home to do hair for a week the last week of October. The dates are Oct 27- Nov 1st, but I will also be back the Monday before Thanksgiving (Nov 24th) and I will be staying for 2 weeks!! If you would like an appointment just let me know! Thanks:)

"Your going to miss this"

Yesterday was General Conference which I always look forward to watching, I feel like every time I watch it at least one of the speakers are speaking directly toward me. I loved President Monson's talk for that matter. I find my self so often stressing over small things, like the laundry, the dishes... what to cook for dinner, that it consumes a lot of my time. When President Monson talked about the tiny fingerprints on the newly cleaned surfaces, the piles of laundry or the toys scattered, he said all of that will too soon be gone and it will be missed. I've been thinking about that a lot latley. Kooper will be ten months in a few days and I feel like it was just yesterday when I came home from the hospital scared to death of how I was going to take care of this new precious child. I feel like it was yesterday when he was waking up every two hours to eat, or I would wonder when is he going to smile, or when will he roll over, or when will he crawl, and of course it all came way to fast!!:) I feel so blessed to be able to stay home with Kooper and I know that I need to enjoy every second I get to spend with him because I know that in twenty years from now I will never say I wish I would have done more laundry or kept the house a little cleaner but I can guarantee that I will say, I wish I would have played a little more with my sweet little boy. Time goes by way to fast so make the most of your today!

The Debate

OK.... So anybody that knows me, knows that all this presidential stuff is really not my thing, I have never been way interested in any of it, but i guess when you have a little more time on your hands you get sucked right into it! All day today I have been looking forward to the debate, mainly because I was so sick of the media giving Palin such a hard time! So anybody that watched it knows what an amazing job Palin did! I feel like she is so likable and down to earth where as Biden is your typical politician. Anyway it was really good, I never had any doubt in Palin I knew she could step up to the plate when she needed to most...and she did!!:)

We are just getting to go for our morning stroll, Koop gets so excited to get out he is a big people watcher!
I mentioned before that Kooper loves to just scoot around, its pretty funny, he has gotten so fast! I'm beginning to think that he will never crawl because he can get anywhere by scooting.

Yesterday morning when I was feeding Koop he was being so silly, he laugh was cracking me up so I had to record him for a min. Kids get a kick out of the weirdest things....(don't mind my crazy hair, I think thats what was making him laugh):)

Way to long!!

My Boys!!!
He is getting ready to go!
Look at those eyes!:)

So I promised myself that as soon as we moved I would update my blog more often because I would have so much time on my hands, but before I know it another day has gone by and no updates!!
Well we are back home and Im loving every second of being home with Kooper all day, but I won't lie it is defiantly an adjustment:) It is so fun to watch him doing new things all the time, he is moving all over the place, I would say crawling but its more of an "inching" its pretty funny to watch and its amazing how fast that little turd can go!
Weston is loving school, its so nice that he his finally doing and studying something he loves. Even though he is so busy with school and studying he finds time to spend with Koop and I. It makes my day to see the way Weston is with Kooper.
My visit back home was good, it was so nice to see my family and friends. The stay was way to long we actually missed it here...well mainly Wes:) But we will be back the last week in October so that I can work again.
Well Im really rambling on but next time hopefully it wont be 3 weeks since my last post:)
