Cooper's 1-yr Picts!

I know I'm a little late at posting these pictures, but here are Cooper's 1-yr pictures. Thanks Tammie, you did a great job! Thanks for all your time and work! And I don't want to brag, but we have a handsome little man!

This is Cooper and his duck call, one of his FAVORITE things!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Cooper was a lot of fun this Christmas.

Santa brought him his very first bike. He unwrapped the box then peeked inside and said "OOOOOHHHHH". He was too excited that he couldn't open any other presents until Dad was done building it and he got to ride on it. It's a little big but this spring it should be perfect size!


We also got to get together with our friends for breakfast the day after Christmas. It was so great to see everyone and catch up.

Cooper got a giant pancake. He had to have a little help eating it, but he loved it!


We had so much fun spending time with family and friends...our favorite part about the holidays! It's been amazing having Jake home from work, we are dreading Tuesday when he has to go back to school and work!

We are so grateful for all that we have. We truly are so blessed. We look forward to all that 2012 has to offer. Bring it on!

Feeding the ducks

One of our favorite things to do is feed the ducks. A few weeks ago we got all bundled up to go down to Beus pond.

Once we got there Cooper of course had to pull his duck call out and talk to them. He was lovin' it!


We even saw 2 of these Mandarin ducks while we were there! They are so pretty!

Cooper's First Visit with Santa

A few weeks ago we went to Jake's brother's ward Christmas party so Cooper could meet Santa for the first time. I wasn't sure how he would react but the progression of pictures pretty much says it all...

The visit lasted under 30 seconds. Cooper just wasn't sure what to think sitting on this stranger's lap with everyone staring at him!
