Happy Halloween!

Weedend at Grandma's

Jake spent some time Saturday duck hunting with Connor. Unfortunately their "make-up" didn't work as good as they hoped and they came up empty handed!

Cooper LOVED playing Grandma's clavinova. He has so much fun with his cousins.

Cooper and I spent some time in the leaves with Grandma, Carter, Aubrey and Koda.

He wasn't loving laying in the leaves as you can tell...

We also got to spend a little bit of time with my Grandpa Halversen.


The highlight of the weekend was Cooper playing with this bus and shopping cart. It was amazing to watch him first push it around on his hands and knees, then stand up, then take off walking behind them! He was also lovin' getting pushed around in or on them! He just couldn't get enough!

I think it's only a matter of time before he's walking without the shopping cart! (such a bittersweet thing....he's growing up too fast!)

St. George

A few weekends ago we took a trip to St. George.

We stopped at Cabella's on the way down. Cooper LOVED it!

The rest of the drive was FOREVER long!!! We had left our house at 11:30 that morning. We were stopped for lunch and Cabella's for about an hour and a half, then were on the road again. We didn't get there until after 7:30 due to all the traffic and road construction. It was miserable but Cooper was a really good sport about it and did really well for being in the car that long!

We FINALLY made it to Grandma and Grandpa Jensen's house in St. George! It was so fun to spend a few days with them and we are really grateful for their hospitality!


We also got to visit my cousin Crystal and her family while we were down there. We had to get a picture of her youngest, Jerik, and Cooper. There is 6 months between them and they both weigh about 20 lbs!

My highlight of the trip (besides just being able to spend a few days with Cooper and Jake) was Little Mermaid at Tuacahn! I absolutely LOVED it! I went with Jake's brother and his family. Jake's not really into this kind of thing so he offered to stay home with Cooper.

After the show Carter and Aubrey wanted to stick around and get some pictures with the cast.

I can't wait to see Alladin next year!

The drive home was a lot better. There wasn't any construction and traffic flowed much better! We didn't even have to stop between St. George and Centerville, Cooper was sooooo good just sleeping and hangin out! We are so lucky to have such a great kid!

Cooper is growing so fast!

Here he is in Jake's cowboy boots.

He is now willing to try a lot more foods, but ONLY if he can feed himself! He refuses to eat baby food anymore! You can see from the picture above if you look close that he loves to get it all over in his hair!

He is so much fun! Such a happy boy! He got his 2nd tooth just under a week ago!
