Beus & Weber State pond

 A couple weekends ago we went to Beus pond. Cooper was loving riding his trike around the pond, and Koda was enjoying the scenery as well.

 Suddenly Cooper took off and rode right off the trail...don't ask me how he didn't hit the tree, but luckily he didn't!

We enjoyed a nice little walk and since we forgot our bread, we decided we had to go back another time! We instead decided to go to the Weber State Pond.

 

We wanted to check out the baby geese. They're pretty cute.

 This is Jake's favorite goose that we found there....notice his legs, he's double banded!

 At first Cooper tried to eat the bread. Don't ask me why, it was really stale!

 He finally figured it out though and was loving it!

 I just love my boys!

Just thought I'd share this fun photo!

LOVE this boy!

A few weeks ago we went to Willow Park in Logan with Jake's family. Cooper loved all the animals and we had a great time enjoying the sunshine!

Cooper loves wearing his hat, or anybody's hat for that matter!


Cooper Loves to be outside! We have some great neighbors who let Cooper borrow their little trike, which he LOVES! I love these pictures, his facial expressions crack me up!

Temple Square

A few weekends ago we went down with some of our family to SLC to visit Temple Square and City Creek.

Cooper was loving all the pretty flowers.

Can you tell that he doesn't like pictures because we make him try to sit still?! He always wants to be running around doing his own thing!

It was so fun to hear him say "Jesus" while pointing to all the pictures of Christ.

We had a fun day! Thanks Mom and Woody!

Fun with Friends

A few weekends ago we invited our friends Jeremy and Stacy over for dinner. We decided to go on a walk. While Cooper was waiting for us to get ready they helped him climb into the bottom of their stroller. Now every time I get the stroller out Cooper wants to try to crawl into the bottom!

Our favorite place to walk...the walking path by our house.

Their son Conner is only a year older than Cooper, but there is quite a size difference. Connor kept trying to pick up Cooper, which was pretty funny. I'm so glad they get along!

We're so lucky to have such great friends! Not everybody can say they are still friends with their best friend from 1st grade...I'm a pretty lucky girl, Thanks Stac!

Bikes and Goats

Two weekends ago Cooper got another double ear infection. NOT fun! The only plus side is that he'll sit and cuddle with you when he doesn't feel good. Poor kid, you can just see it in his eyes that he is miserable! Jake was loving the snuggling because he got someone to sit and watch his deer hunting movie with him!

Last weekend we borrowed Jake's Uncle Mike's bike trailer and took Cooper on a bike ride.

He enjoyed it, except when we would go over a bump and he would tip over and couldn't sit back up. Next time we'll have to be sure to put some blankets or something to the side of him to keep him propped up!

Cooper thought he was pretty cool sitting on Dad's bike!

Cooper also got to ride the goat at Grandma and Grandpa Balls' house. He loved it at first and was laughing. A few minutes later he was done and wanted to get off.

Bring on the warm weather so we can play more outside!

Cooper 15 Months

I've been slacking a little in the picture-taking and blogging areas lately!

Cooper is now 15 months old. He is LOVING being able to go outside and play. Usually around 8 in the morning he starts asking to put his shoes and jacket on so he can go outside.

He was loving collecting all the sticks.

He is starting to talk a lot more. His favorite thing is bikes. Any time he sees a bike he will point and say "Bi" over and over again. He usually spots them before we can.

Here are a few pictures off Jake's phone that we just uploaded:

This was probably about 6 months ago...It's crazy how much he's grown up since then!


He loves to peak under the bathroom door and talk to you and wiggle his fingers under the door to get your attention.


Our handsome boy in his church clothes!


He LOVES Koda! Luckily she's really patient with him. When she gets sick of his heckling she gets up and leaves.
Lately, he loves to take Koda on walks. It's pretty funny to watch, he thinks he's so grown up!
How could you not just LOVE this kid!?
