3 Very Cute Little Boys

Cooper & Dane are loving having their cousin Parker over for a little while today.

Cooper's Birthday

Yesterday was Cooper's third birthday. Mason took him on Saturday to see "Astro Boy" Cooper has been waiting months to see it, and they both LOVED it. Mason told me Saturday afternoon and I quote "I want to see Astro Boy again!" They both walk around saying lines from the movie, they're just too cute!After church yesterday we went to Mason's parents house and had a party with Cooper's cousins. We found a rocket pinata, and I made a rocket cake. The boys had a blast!

When Cooper saw the cake that I made for him he was sooooo excited and said "I love it Mom! Thank You! I really love it!" What a cutie!

Cooper kept sneaking frosting!

Distracting me with a kiss.

I can't believe my little tiny Cooper is really 3 years old!!!

I love you little man!

My Baby is 3 years old today!

Cooper is 3 today! I can't believe it.

I love you so much Cooper! I am so thankful for you!

How did this happen?

PS- A special shoutout to my cousin Laurel who also share this awesome birthday! Happy Birthday Laurel!

Trick-or-Treat

Dane's First Halloween!

Super Cousins!

Cooper got tired of waiting, & decided to let himself in.

Super Cooper was totally pooped by the time we got home.

Our brother-in-law Jordan's parents live in a very nice neighborhood, and that's where we went trick-or-treating this year, hence all the good stuff. We even got to meet Mr. & Mrs. Winchell, the donut people, they were so nice!

Thanks for inviting us to go with you Jordan & Janel!

"Pumpkin Patch"

The day before Halloween we went to what Las Vegas calls a "pumpkin patch." Cooper went on a couple of rides and had lots of fun, it was just a lot different than the pumpkin patches we are used to going to in Utah. The ones here are just vacant lots where they have a bunch of pumpkins & rides set up, in Utah they are actual farms. We left with two very overpriced pumpkins for Cooper & Dane, we paid almost as much for those two pumpkins as we paid last year for a whole wheelbarrow full of pumpkins in Utah.

They weren't really cooperating

"What happened to Cooper's head?" you ask

He fell off of the counter in our kitchen.

Two Cute Super Heroes!

Last night was our ward trunk-or-treat.

Cooper & Dane looked so cute!

Cooper LOVES his "Super Cooper" costume.
Dane can fly

Mason's mom made Cooper and a few of his cousins capes for Halloween. I made a rocket to put on his cape and shirt. His costume turned out so cute I couldn't resist making a matching costume for Dane. So I made Dane's cape & stuff yesterday, I wanted to make one for Mason & me but ran out of time.

Cooper absolutely loves his costume, he wears his cape everywhere we go and was heartbroken when we didn't let him wear it to church today. He runs around all day saying "I'm here to save the day!" Yesterday Mason told Cooper a story about a girl stuck on top of a building and Super Cooper rescues her and she gives him a hug (Cooper joined in and said "and a kiss") Cooper has told us the story a couple of times now and he told Grammy on the phone, and every time he tells it he says "the girl gave Super Cooper a hug and a kiss" Yikes... he's not even 3 yet!

We Love You Omi!

I can't believe it's been one year since my Omi passed away. I miss her so much! I am so grateful to know that she will hug me again and we will be together someday.

To remember Omi, I did what she would do if she were here with us, I made German Pancakes. They were yummy, but not nearly as good as when Omi would make them for us.
Cooper & Daddy gobbled them up.
Dane had his first German Pancake.
I blended it up for him with applesauce.
He loved it!
It must have made Dane's spirit happy because he slept the best he has in months!

We Love You So Much Omi!!!
