Going Private....

So I guess the time has come where I feel like I need to go private. Please leave your name and email address if you still want to read my blog. Thanks!

9 months!!

I cant believe our sweet little Karver is 9 months already!! I need time to slow down just for a minute, I feel like my baby is no longer a baby. He has officially weaned himself, he no longer wants to cuddle, and does that "arching of the back thing" because he just wants to get down and play. Karver is a big boy, he is off the charts for height and in the 60%percentile for weight. He is a busy boy but really I don't blame him one bit, all he does is watch Kooper all day so the poor kid didn't have a chance at being a calm! He loves his brother so much and luckily Kooper is getting more and more fond of him.He loves his little walker, and he gets so proud when he is walking with it! I love that that little grin!This is what Mommy gives him for something to chew on to help his little toothers....And.......this is what Daddy gives him!!! You can't even tell which one he likes more...he may or may not have a sweet tooth like his Mommy! PS I would have freaked out if Weston would have given Koop licorice at 9 months, its amazing how things change. I love that I have 2 wild boys, they make me so happy and I can't imagine my life without them!

Pirate Party

I know its way past Kooper's birthday but my friend just gave me the cd with all the pictures on it so I wanted to post a few of all the decorations, I think it turned out pretty cute:) He had such a good time with all his little friends!

Christmas Eve and Christmas

First of all, better late than never and second of all we had such a great Christmas. It was our first time not being with any family at all so I was a little worried but it turned out so good! On Christmas Eve day we went sledding, Kooper had so much fun! That night we had a yummy dinner, you might as well call me Martha Stewart because it was that good:) We had crab, home made coconut shrimp, pasta, artichokes and to top it all of lava flows that were to die for! I don't mean to brag but it was really good!;) Christmas day was great, the kids...well Kooper was up at 4:45AM!!! WAY too early but it made for a good Christmas nap! I'm so thankful for the Christmas season and all the new traditions that we were able to make with our own little family!Daddy and Kooper hitting the jump!Kooper hitting the jump, he is such a daredevil! It makes me really nervous! Giving Daddy a push.Mommy taking a turn.The Dinner!He was so excited when he came out of his room, this look is priceless! He just sat there with his mouth open like that....I love it!Karver loved the bows, well he loved to eat them and no that isn't a diet coke in the back ground, and if it is I have no idea how it got there because I would never drink that at 5am;)I love these boys, they bring more joy into my life than I could have ever imagined!

Christmas {TIME}

We have had so much fun this year, I'll have to admit I was a little sad to not be home around family or not have any family here but it has turned out okay. We have been able to start so many new traditions and I have loved every minute of it. We started Decemeber off by making a ginger bread house, I think Koop ate more than he put on the house...but it still turned out really cute.As you can see this is very serious buisness to Weston:)After about a week Kooper broke of the gingerbread man and ate it, yes he ate it!!We also open a book every night, it has been so fun for Kooper. They are all christmas books and it makes going to bed not seem so bad!And of course our little elf "Scooter" has been getting into some trouble every night! This is just a small example of what he did on Koopers Birthday...he was making snow angels out of sugar!! That dang elf! We have this really cute train that goes through the Royal Gorge and in the winter they make a "polar express" train out of it so of course we had to do that. Kooper was SOOO excited, when we were walking up to the train Koop said,"Im so excited my bones are freaking out." So worth it!We also went up to Denver for a few days, we got to see Santa, did a little shopping, and we went to the Zoo to see the lights. Even though it was FREEZING it was actually really fun!
What a fun time of year, I love that I have been able to spend so much time with my cute little family, and most of all make these memories that are priceless:)

6 Months...

Well Im only a month late which I feel pretty good about this time of year. So my sweet little Karver is growing up way too fast! He is such a smiley little guy and will give out that toothless little grin to about anybody..he loves the attention he gets when he does it so he is a ham most of the time. He is in the 95% for height and 70% for weight, which by the way he eats Im totally surprised that he isn't chunkier! He will eat anything that you put in his mouth, he does good with all fruits and veggies and he is loving finger foods. He is finally sleeping through the night which is sooooo nice! The little stinker started army crawling at about 5 1/2 months, which is WAY too young! He is still trying to crawl on his hands and knees but as for now he just goes backwards when he is on his knees which makes him very mad so I think he will just stick to army crawling.Trying so hard to get that crawl down....But its soooo exhausting!So Sweet!
Happy half birthday little buddy, now please quit growing up so fast!

Happy Birthday!

Dear Kooper,
I usually like to write you a little letter on your birthday but today your Daddy wants to write it. I just want you to know how much I love you and how much your sweet little spirit has blessed my life! Even though I'm basically chopped liver when Daddy gets home, I love the relationship that you guys have, he makes your world go around and the excitement on your face when Daddy walks through the door is priceless! I love you Buddy, Happy Birthday! Love Mommy

Hey little buddy, I can't believe you are 4 years old!!! It seems Like just yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital. You looked so small and innocent in your car seat and now you buckle your own car seat up!! I love coming home. It is the highlight of my day. Some days you play a game and hide from me until I find you ( under the bed 9 out of 10 times) or the best is when you run up and wrap your arms around me with a big smile and kiss...boy I love those hugs!!! Some times you are a little naughty though...like that time you hid that $300 cash from us in the dryer drawer for a week...but you did remember where you put it when we asked....or that time you dumped too much fish food into your fish bowl and killed poor Fred #3 ( yeah 3 fish in two weeks). But no matter what you do I will always love you so much!! You might be in timeout for 1/4 of your life but I will never stop loving you. I love our wrestle matches and our nighttime trips to "spiderville". I love your funny words and expression like "oh snap" and "bonus!" and how you can do googoo googles and an English accent. I love how you memorized your entire pre-school classe's names first and last and how you operate my ipad better than I do. I love that you think mommy is chopped liver because I know that one day you will think I am chopped Liver too.....but for now I am so glad that you are my best friend and little buddy!! We love you Kooper and happy birthday!!!!Four year ago today we got the best Christmas present ever! Im still in love with your big eyes!Oh how we miss those cuddle days:) Love the curls!Happy Birthday my sweet boy!
