No More Monkeys........

sorry, this post is late..i wanted to wait til i had pictures..
About 2 weeks ago, we made a trip to the ER....
well cooper was jumping on my bed, and i turned around to put julies shoes on, cause we were getting ready to go. and all of a sudden, "smack" cooper hit the corner of my dresser, and my bottom drawer was out, and hit that.....well 2 layers of sitches, with 15 on top.
anyway hes doing really good now, no more jumping on my bed.

well when he was awake, and ready to go...all he wanted, was to go to sams club...what a silly boy!

busy, busy, busy

cooper has been sooo busy lately, i know hes 3 and it is supposed to happen....well it is driving me crazy...

the other day, cooper came upstairs, and he was covered in blue...i went down to see what had happened, and the washer was blue, the walls were blue...so i spanked him hard..this happened 3 times..so he was all blue for church..im sure everyone thought that i didnt bathe him..but oh we scrubbed. well sunday night, he came in covered in green and yellow..ahhh.. well just say that he went to bed at 7:30 that night..well monday we were going to the park, so when we got his shoes..we found out what he was using to color,....food coloring..at least we know he wont get sick from it..

well yesterday, he came downstairs, and we saw that his feet were covered in bright green and pink....fingernail polish. he wanted "pretties" luckily he didnt get it anywhere other than his feet.

oh boy what a weekend.

Hilarious!

County Fair!

we went to the county fair on the 8th of Aug. it was fun,except it for it rained and was so cold.
the the kiddos had fun.


cooper was really good this year, hes usually scared of the animals. but he actually got close enough to pet the cow, i guess it paid off that we live next to the dairy hu?


He also loved the bunnies, they are soo soft.



Julie was really good. she loved the goats especially. she freaked out when we got near the cow.

5th Anniversary!!

Can you believe it! its gone by so fast.

its not actually til tomorrow, but i knew i would forget to post about it..
well we got married on august 20th 2004...for those of you who don't know the story..
we met on ldschat in about February, he asked me to come to Logan for valentines day. i said no, i had only known him for like a day. well he found some interest in me. he kept trying to pursue me. well we met up in march. he told me to pick somewhere, where i would feel safe to meet up with him, so i picked....home depot in Lindon. well from there we went to his brothers place and we went hot tubing. then him and his brother cooked me and his date dinner...stir fry. so good
then we dated for a little bit he would go down to my house, and i would go to Logan. the he proposed on May 20th, i told my mom that we were getting married like a month before, and she wouldn't get started on anything til i had a ring.
and we got married on August 20 in the Logan temple.

Quite a day!!

We have had quite the day today......

well mike woke up this morning at about 6:30. did his usual morning stuff. well then he had a major side ache.. he couldnt sit, stand, lay down, or anything. so about 7:45 he says we need to go to the ER. im thinking, "this is bad, he doesnt go to the Er unless he is hurting bad" so i called his sister and she came out and watched the kids, while we went to the ER.

well they did tests and catscans, and come to find out... Mike has......Kidney stones. YUCK!!!!!

well the dr said he had 1, thats all 1 i had "rock beds" which nothing came out for me.

so we stayed there, they said its right next to the bladder so hopefully it just drops in. as soon as they drop, the pain goes away. well it was about 12:00 and he was having absolutley no pain. so we got the dr and asked if we could go home. so about an hour later. we got home.

well at about 4 he passed that little thing. and i mean small. it was the size of a little mustard seed.

never realized that something so small, could cause so much pain. but he is okay now and it was only one. boy am i glad that is over.

Happy Birthday Kortney!

Well, its here again. today is my birthday. i am now a quarter of a century old.
i didnt do anything special for my b-day... mike has to work so we are celebrating on sunday. i did however, make me my favorite dessert....strawberry cheesecake. that i made from scratch...no store bought crap..
i came into the world at 2:32am. weighing 6lb. 11oz. 19.5" i was also a week late. i was supposed to be born on august 1st. my dad even took the week off, to be there for my mom. well i didnt come. so on the 5th he went back to work. and i came. ha ha sorry dad.

3 Years Old

I know this is a late post.

Cooper turned 3 on July 15th. we didnt do anything he got some clothes from mom and dad. and a fishing pole which he just loves. we celebrated more on friday, it was his cousin brooklyns birthday. so we just combined the too.





Here is his story.
we went in at 9am on the 14th. where i got induced. my dr. said that he would be back at 10 to break my water, and it would go fast. but cooper had his own plan. well my dr did come back at 10 but i wasnt making progress. so i was put on pit and told to wait. Oh i waited, and waited, and waited. the dr finally came back at 11pm and broke my water. then i got my epidural i didnt care what happened after that. well at about 2am they had to give me a shot to stop the contractions, cause he couldnt handle them. well at about 7am on the 15th they woke me up and were going to send me home. cause i was there 22 hours and i was almost dialated to a 4. i told them i was not going home, and to do a c-section. well cooper graced us with his presence at 7:52am. he was 8lbs. 10oz. 20.5" . he didnt cry when he came out. they tickled his feet, finally letting out a coo. and mike said that when he came out he was flipping the world off.





We Love you Cooper!

Funny Bug

Cooper is into saying "cheers" when he has a drink. well on sunday we were in sacrament and he was taking a cup of water, and all of a sudden he yells "cheers!" mike looked up at the deacon, and he was laughing. I looked back at grandma and she was laughing. I was so embararassed. but boy do i love him!

Camping in Nephi

well last weekend we got to head down to juab county and go camping with my family. we had alot of fun. it was nice to get away from home. we did lots of fun things.
Aunt Karen did our nail and toes. we made church bags. cooper made a "lightening mcqueen" one. we also made hair things. cant wait till next year.






Julie absolutely loves whitney. she loves the babies. and whitney just sits there and lets her maul her.



hayden was a big help with my kids and they love to play and tackle him.

Trying to get a picture, we just couldnt get everyone to look at the camera at the same time.


She loved her ball.


she had no problem attacking her cupcake, she got it everywhere.

Happy Birthday Julie!

Today my little girl turns 1. I cant believe it.
here is her story: i went in at 6:45 went into delivery at 8:45, she was born at 8:51am weighing in at 5lb. 14oz. 18.5" such a tiny thing. she was too small for her newborn stuff, so we had to go get preemie clothes and diapers. i never thought i would have a preemie. we are so glad that she is here. She is a joy to have around. We Love you Julie.









*On a side note...my sister in law had her baby this morning. they named her brindy. she was 9lbs. 15oz.

Party!!!!

We are having a birthday party for Julie on Saturday May 30.
It will be at Willow park at 2:00 pm
everyone is invited.

see you there.

cheeser/haircut

Today, i gave cooper a haircut. he held pretty still. what a good boy. i think that this haircut makes him look so much older than he is. but i had to try my hardest to get him to look at the camera. he was laughing the whole time.




This is julie posing for the camera. Everytime i get the camera out, she tips her head back. she is getting so big.
* she also got her first tooth today. 11.5 mo.




*An update. as you know we are remodeling the basement...putting in a kitchen. well we have all walls down. and built. we have the electrical mostly done, as soon as we get done painting, electrical will be done. so now we need to sheetrock, paint, then we can tile, and finally carpet...which is going through the whole basement. so it is finally coming along.Yea!!

Working boy

Cooper has gone through this phase, where he loves his picture taken. then all of a sudden he hates the camera. Well he is back to the I love the camera phase.

He is such a big helper. Since we are remodeling the basement. He loves taking daddys hammer and he will hit the nails. hes so proud of himself when he does this. I love that little boy.
