Kitchen Tornado

I think my nickname should be Tornado when I'm cooking in the kitchen:)

Because after I am done it looks like this!!!

Believe it or not this mess was constructed in less the 20 minutes of cooking:) I turned around and had to document. Maybe I can learn to clean as I go.

ps. I just want to state Cooper did help contribute to the mess, it wasn't all me!

Story time

This is how story time goes almost everyday lately.

Sit down at start a fun book before bed...

Start the FIRST page...

Coop gets bored...

And he's done!

What happened to the little boy that liked his books??

Boys

How many boys does it take to install a latch for cabinet??

First Cooper comes and helps...

Then Boone...

It is still not up and working so I think we need a little more help:)

I love Christmas! We had such a great time with family and friends. We celebrated a few days early with Codys parent. Cooper got very spoiled and loved all of his gifts. Then we head to UT. I decided to fly out a day early to get to my sisters bridal shower. Due to the 13'' of snow Cooper and I got suck in the airport for HOURS!! We didn't get to utah tell after 12:30am. The poor little baby was so tired but he was so good. The shower was so fun. We played lots of games and had a great vacation. The best part is my little sister got married (pics to come). The wedding was great, she was the most beautiful bride! Her husband Jordan fits right in with the family.

Opening presents with grandma mind!

9 months old

I just realized all of my pictures I have taken of Cooper these last few weeks are of him in his high chair. I think it is because this is the only time he is holding still:)

NINE MONTHS OLD!!! He is SO MUCH FUN!!! I cant believe how much I love have taking care of this little guy. The other day Cody mentioned how nice it will be when all of the kiddos we have will be raised and out of the house and I got really sad even got a little choked up thinking about it. He laughed and said don't worry it will be a very long time before that happens.

Here are a few of the thing I want to remember about 9 months...

-He is busy crawling everywhere, he really never stops unless he is sleeping

-He may think he is a dog:) I am constantly catching eating dog food and chewing on the dogs bones. I even catch my self telling him to sit and stay:)

-He is pointing and waving a lot.

-He LOVES girls:) My little YW class at church cant get enough of him and he loves every minute of the attention

-Down to two naps everyday. 10 and 3

-He is starting to get really silly and will do things just to make me laugh.

-He LOVE dogs! We currently have 3 dogs at our house and he chases them all day long

-This little boy can EAT!! He has a huge appetite. I am always amazed at how much food he puts away

-He is big too! He has not been weighed in a while but I'm sure he is at least 25lds. He is wearing his 12-18 month clothes

Christmas party

Once again I am horrible at taking pictures!! I even brought my camera to the party but left it in the car:( But what a fun Christmas party. It was for Codys work, he just signed on with a new company a couple of months ago and so I really didnt know anyone but it was still a lot of fun! We had the most AMAZING dinner, I am getting hungry just thinking about it! Here are a few pictures documenting the night.

ThanksGiving!!

Five days in AZ for Thanksgiving! It was so fun! We spent the holidays at Codys sisters house in Gilbert with his family. It was so fun, I now want to move to there. The week was full of lots of eating, shopping, games, football, hiking, dog walking and hanging out. Its always a good time when we get together. It was a great trip, we cant wait to go back!
