My Cooper boy

Oh I love this kid. He is so much fun to have around all day while the girls are in school. I would be so bored if he wasn't home with me. But that's gonna change too. He got in to a preschool through the school district to help him with his speech. I am so excited he got in though. And he is so excited that the "short bus" is picking him up at our house. So what am I going to do for 3 hours, 3 days a week?

Cardinals preseason game

Daisy is obsessed with BYU football and when we were moving back to Az, she was so excited to find out that Max Hall was going to the Cardinals. So Jeff bought us tickets to the Cardinals first pre season game. Daisy was so excited. We told her over and over again to not get her hopes up of Max playing since he's new. But she didn't care. She watched him through her binoculars all game. It ended up being a good game. We came back and won at the very end. But Daisy wasn't celebrating with us. Max Hall never went in and she seriously put her face in her lap and was crying.

Can we say stalker? haha. She would tell me his every move. He actually put his helmet on the last 5 minutes and she about fell off her chair she was so excited. It was kind of sad to see how sad she was that she didn't get to watch him play.

It was a fun night though. We sat in the nose bleeds and had to take turns with the goggles. (that's what Cooper calls them.)

This picture cracks me up! We're all screaming cause they won and Daisy is pouting and showing her support to number 6, Max Hall. Could we be any more dramatic?

Our little Cinderella

Lindsay is so good about doing her dishwasher. She came home from church and saw it needed to be loaded so she put on her gloves and got to work.

saturday morning

The power went out all morning one Saturday so we played out in the rain all morning. The kids were in heaven and although we looked a little white trash, we had fun.

Jeff was determined to have Cooper peddle his bike. No success. Just alot of crying.

First day of school

I totally forgot my camera when I dropped the girls off at their new school. This is after the bus ride home. But hey, they still look happy so I guess it was a good first day. Daisy is in 5th grade!!! (Holy cow, where does the time go?) She has a guy teacher again, and is very excited about that. Lindsay is in 2nd grade and told me probably 50 times how much she loves her new teacher.

Cousin Party

The Hall cousins came out for a party before we all start school. We packed lunches and snacks and went to the splashpad for some water fun.

Camping

Jeff's birthday was Friday and he wanted to go up to the new cabin property in Christopher Creek. It was the perfect weekend to go. It was rainy and cool. There was a ton of mud and Cooper & Lindsay were in heaven. We now have "cabin" shoes and clothes thanks to all the mud up there.

Jeff's parents bought the perfect spot for a new cabin. I cannot wait! It is absolutely beautiful up there.

Daisy loves cards/games as much as I do so there was alot of card playing.

We brought the table outside so we could play games and enjoy the beautiful weather.

We shot bb guns, went on hikes, fished, explored, ate, lounged, played in the mud, and enjoyed the mountains.

Willow Springs is close by, and everybody else decided to go that day too. We didn't catch anything, but the kids had fun.

Grandpa Ben stopped by on his way up to Heber.

We kept saying, whoever gets the dirtiest had the most fun. Who do you think it was? (Check out his shoes. They have like and inch of mud on the bottom.)

Cooper is 4!

My baby is 4 today! He was so excited for this day. As soon as he woke up he wanted to get dressed so he could open his presents.

Dad called from work to sing to Cooper. He thought is was so funny.

We decided to go to McDonalds for a little breakfast since we were all up so early. Cooper loves their pancakes. And of course a chocolate milk to wash it down!

Then we came back home to get ready for his birthday party. Grandma Shellee, Toree, Corri, Avery and Davis made the trip out for a fun day. We played at our splashpad and had a picnic, played at the park, then came back to our house for lots more fun.

Cooper got more presents and loved it all. Avery loved them all too. Those 2 boys had so much fun. They played and played and played.

It's so fun to see these two play together. They do pretty good for the most part. Cooper needs to learn to share toys better, but Cooper was so excited that Avery was going to come to his house.

My mom made this cutest zoo play mat! She gave Cooper animals to go with it, and he already got some from his cousins, so he had 2 sets of each. Seriously, this is the cutest thing ever.

I would say that Cooper had a great birthday. When everybody left, Avery cried and then Cooper cried when I left to YW's, but he was so tired he crashed early. Happy birthday buddy!
