Better late than never...right??

I love the holidays but sometimes Im glad that they are over! I feel like we have been so busy going back and forth we are just ready to be home now for a while! We had a great Christmas, Kooper was so fun, he loved unwrapping the presents, although I think he was a little overwhelmed, he loved it! We also had the opportunity to go to the Rose Parade this year, we had a blast, it was amazing being so close !
This was Koopers Favorite float..he loved the big dog!





The night before the parade...
This is what happens to your car if you choose to drive up and down Colorado street on new years eve!


This was at 11:00 the day before the parade..we had to get our spot!


Weston had been up since 6 that morning so yes he had a red bull.. and that's how you save you r spot..mark in with tape..or chalk..no chairs can be sat out until noon that day!




My dad made this cute little rocking horse, its so cute..Kooper loved it!
After we got home and all the family left Kooper got pretty sick..he has a fever in this picture so that's why his clothes are off. You know he is sick when he falls asleep in a chair if you know him you know he doesn't sit long enough to fall asleep..poor little guy!

My baby is TWO!!

Dear Kooper,
Wow we cant believe you are 2! It seems like just yesterday that we were taking you home from the hospital wondering how we could even love someone so much, now we're sitting here amazed at how much that love has grown! You have no idea how much joy you bring into our home, from early in the morning when you start yelling "hello..hello" from your crib, and then at night when we read stories and you keep wanting "more...more" because you know its time for bed. I feel so blessed that I am able to stay home with you and get to watch you learn and grow. I love that you are my best little buddy! We have so much fun together whether we are taking our weekly trip to Disneyland or just walking to Target to look at the toys, the joy on your face is priceless and just makes my whole day! Thank you for being the little boy that you are, you make us want to be better people. I feel so blessed to be a Mom especially a Mom to the sweetest little boy in the world. We love you Kooper, Happy Birthday Buddy!!

Trying to catch up..

So this post is just going to be random pict because Im so behind, everytime that I do this I promise myself that Im going to do better..but sure enough time goes by way to fast and I get behind again!
This is at the Santa Anita race track. On Fridays its free so we love to go and watch the races, the kids love it!
It was impossible to get them all looking at the camera at the same time, the twins are Koopers best little buddies, they play so funny together.
So last week I got our carpets cleaned, so we couldnt be at our house while they were drying. So our nice friends Sachia and Sienna let us come and play..Kooper had a blast, he took the best bath of his life, he loved painting the walls...who knew thats all I needed to keep him occupied for hours!! On Saturday we had a big Halloween party, a few of the girls I know decided to throw one. We had it at my friend Jennys house, (thanks jenny) it was such a blast. It was adults only so we left all the kiddos home. We had lots of food..I bobbed for apples (got 8 the other girl got a big fat ZERO) sang some karaoke, and ate more food!

M.I.A.

I know that we have been out of the blogging world lately and I have been getting slack from my wonderful mother in law..:) about me not up-dating more often..so this one is for her. We have been a little busy lately, first of all Weston and I were able to go to Hawaii during his week break. We left Kooper home with grandmas and sister(thank you again) we had an amazing time, it was so good to have time alone even though we missed Koop like crazy.
My cute little drawing in the sand:)
A few weeks after we got back, Westons parents came to town, we had a blast with them, they always spoil us rotten so they are welcome anytime:) We went to Universal Studios, Kooper was scared of all the characters is was pretty funny!


Kooper found this truck up on a shelf in his room(it was for his birthday), he climbed up on the filing cabinet and pulled it off the shelf and brought it out to us with that naughty little smile that he does so well!!

He almost got a spankin from dad when he walked out in these shoes:)
So I love this laugh, every time I listen to it it makes me laugh.. apparently I was pretty funny hitting him on the head. There is nothing better than that uncontrollable laugh that kids do!




PS I'm on my way back home to work again, Ill be there Oct 1st-8th, let me know if you need an appointment.

Its been a while!

Wow this summer has flown by, I cant believe it is the middle of August!Its been forever since I have updated so beware this will be a long boring post... We have been gone for a year now and wow what a year! Weston is doing great in school, he is loving ever minute of it. I am so proud of him, he has worked so hard to be where he is at and its so nice that it is finally paying off. He has already gotten a few job offers which is amazing considering he just finished his first year but at the same time it doesn't surprise me one bit because he is good at what he does and he just has a way with people. Most of the hospitals around here have lots of Philippino nurses and doctors and so when they find out that he speaks their language they instantly fall in love with him. I don't think that he thought his mission language would ever come in handy but around here there isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't use it! We both feel so blessed that we have had the opportunity to come to school here, we have fallen in love with the area, and have made some amazing friends! I have loved staying home with Kooper, don't get me wrong I have had my moments...like today at singing time, he wouldn't sit still for 2 seconds and then throws one of those fits that others look at you like....do something with that child and then shake their heads in pitty... I know you know what I'm talking about because I was the queen of doing that...that's why i have one of those fit throwing children now. But at the same time all he has to do is look at me with those big blue eyes and smile and it just melts my heart! He is growing so fast it makes me sad but he has got the cutest personality I love it! I'm still going back home and working about every 7 weeks, and that has worked out so good thanks to my wonderful family and friends that have helped out with babysitting I really couldn't do it with out you guys...Thank you so much! Speaking of working Im heading back home to work Aug 20-27 if you need an apt:) Anyway thats about it.
Here are just a few random pictures of our summer happenings!
Finally got to the mountain! Kooper had a blast all he wanted to do is ride the four wheeler, it was pretty cute.
Kooper and his "pa pa"I love this picture, Weston's face shows it all:)


Is anybody up for a challenge, he is serious about his guitar hero so you better watch out!

This last week some of my friends and I went to Palm Springs and spent the night. We had a blast!! The place was so nice we should have stayed several nights, not one of us were ready to come home! The only thing that was missing from our amazing trip was our good friend Lauren and her two little kidos, Ethan & Kate...Next time you guys are there for sure!!:)The kid pool was great, it was only a foot deep, so the kids loved it, especially Sienna:)
This is Koopers new girlfriend, they were sharing crackers and dipping it in cheese and then dipping their licorice in cheese...how romantic!!



He is such a boy... do you see the girls throwing the foam pieces on the slide... NOOO... they are laying by the pool getting their tan on like good little girls!!!
