January in a nutshell.

Here are some cute pictures taken from the last couple of months.

Kamryn sitting in her swing naked. She is such a happy baby!

Here she is happy again. She just loves jumping in her jumparoo.

Whenever Cooper hears Kamryn making noise over the moniter (after she has taken a nap) he loves to go in and get her. One day, I went in a few minutes after him and this is what I found. He had climbed into Kamryn's crib and curled up next to her under her blanket. He just loves her!

Oh Cooper . . . never a dull moment in our house.

Cooper loves going down the highest slide he can find at the park.

Cooper has been watching us feed Kamryn for quite some time. I guess he decided on this particular day that he could do it too. He was so gentle and very serious about the new job. He did a great job and she loved it.

We decided it would be fun to take Cooper bowling so we called up the Corbins and went. The boys had so much fun. Cooper loved it so much he could hardly let Bentley enjoy his turn. The boys were jumping up and down and running all over the place. They were playing with the balls and bowling up a storm.

Mike was very patient and showed Cooper how to roll the ball down the lane.

Cooper and Bentley's score. They did a great job thanks to the bumpers.

Bentley trying to pick the best bowling ball.

Cooper just loves Kamryn and is always cuddling up next to her giving her loves. So Cute!!!

Cute baby alert! Doesn't Kamryn look like a little princess?!? She is so darling!

Can you tell that Cooper loves Dakota? I walked into the room and this is what I saw. He is such a cheese ball.

Just a cute picture of Kamryn in the bath.

Cooper decided to join in and washed her hair. Can you feel the love?

December

Kamryn Is Sitting

Kamryn has been able to sit on her own for awhile now. She does a great job and although she is wobbily, she can sit up for a minute or two before she falls over. I am sure when you look at these pictures you are thinking . . . you let her sit on the couch when she is so wobbily? The answer is yes, but if you look in the corner of the picture you will see my hand waiting to catch her. She hasn't fallen off of the couch . . . yet.

Kamryn And the Jumparoo

Kamryn loves the Jumparoo just like Cooper did. She loves to jump and jump and jump until, well . . . I will let the picture do the talking.

She had so much fun that she fell right to sleep!

Temple Lights

Our ward went to see the temple lights before Christmas. It was such a fun night. We had hot chocolate, listened to music, talked with friends and walked around the temple to see all of the beautiful lights. It was so cold, but the kids were great and we had a lot of fun.

Baking With Mommy

Cooper loves to help in the kitchen any way that he can. His favorite thing to make is cookies, brownies, cupcakes and cake. When he is feeling in the mood to bake he tells me "a make it" and usually brings me a mix from the cupboard. His new favorite thing to do is to "lick it". As you can see in the picture he did a lot of tasting. It's hard to say no to this face!

Ethan and Cooper

In December we were able to have Ethan over for a playdate while his Mommy was at the hospital with Emmett. The boys had so much fun together. They were really good!

Just as a side note, as I am posting these pictures Cooper is watching saying "cool" and "that's so funny".

Cooper And the Peanut Butter Balls

Thank you Jessica for the delicious Peanut Butter Balls. As you can see we loved them!

Kamryn In The Tub

Kamryn loves taking baths. Here is a cute picture of her enjoying the bubbles.

Christmas Cookies

Christy and I decided to make sugar cookies with the boys this past Christmas. We thought they would have fun cutting out the dough, frosting and decorating the cookies. Boy was that a mistake! What a mess! After just a couple of minutes of their help we quickly sent them away and brought them back to put sprinkles on the two cookies they were allowed to eat. The boys had so much fun and loved the cookies. They were a lot of work and a big mess and took a long time to make but it was worth it in the end. The cookies were soooo good!

Kamryn Continues to Love Dinner Time

Kamryn is so cute and gets so excited when it is time to eat. She loves almost everything that we give her. So far the only thing that she hasn't loved is green beans. Can you blame her?

Christmas Eve

This past year we spent Christmas Eve with my sister and her family. We made a yummy dinner and the kids watched The Grinch. When we got home we let the kids open up a couple of presents, set out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Then it was off to bed!

Christmas Day

We spent Christmas morning opening up presents at home. Cooper had tons of fun opening up tons of presents. Sorry Grandma and Grandpa, the clothes were tossed aside. Then he spent the rest of the morning playing with all of his toys and riding his bike. Kamryn rolled around with her new blankee and doll. She was so cute with them. She would put them in her mouth and rub them on her face. I think she really loved her presents!

We are still HERE!

I know it has been far too long since I have blogged, but I wanted you all to know that we are still HERE! As you know life gets hectic and before you know three months have gone by. Here is what happened to our little family . . .

November

Kamryn's Baby Blessing

What a beautiful day . . . Mike did an amazing job . . . We saw lots of family and friends . . . Kamryn was so dang cute!

Anthem Parade

Brandy and I decided to go to the Anthem Parade with the kids. We had lots of fun and the kids loved watching the horses, motorcycles, etc. go by.

Day At Home

Kamryn started rolling over to her tummy and holding up her head. On this particular day we decided to snap a couple of pictures. Here are some really cute ones.

Harley Davidson Babies

My parents gave the kids these cute Harley shirts and I decided to dress them to match one day. They were so cute! Coop snuggled up next to Kamryn and we got a really cute picture.

Kamryn Has Rice Cereal!

Kamryn was an early roller/sitter (with a little help) so we decided it was time to start her on some rice cereal. Although she was not a fan of rice cereal by itself, she soon found that when we added other things it was the best thing ever!

Rice Krispy Treats

This is just another reason why I can't take my eyes off of Cooper for more than 5 seconds . . . yep, 8 cups of rice krispies on the floor. Don't forget to check out his pocket!

Halloween, again?!?

Cooper found one of his Halloween costumes and decided he had to wear it while watching TV. He looks like he is singing, right?

Thanksgiving

We had a lot of fun on Thanksgiving. We had it at our house this past year and had my parents, Mike's parents and Rob's family over. It was my first time cooking a turkey and let me just say that it turned out perfect! After our yummy dinner we decided to take some family pictures. Yes it was a little crazy with so many kids but we endured!

December, January, etc. to be continued . . .
