Carolina Ice Palace!!!

Well Cooper was begging for something to do on Saturday so we decided to take him ice skating. I elected myself to sit with Steele so that meant Justin was out on the ice with Cooper. Honestly as I am getting older I am starting to think in the back of my head about falling and actually hurting myself. Funny, while in younger years I had skated from time to time and that thought never entered my mind. Well... only one time around for Justin and his ankles had enough. I should have went, I forgot about his ankle troubles. We thought for sure Cooper wouldn't skate without someone with him but he suprised us once again. He took off and skated for an hour by himself. You can see the great time he had by his face in these pictures, just like the good old saying "a picture says a thousand words."

Gettin' ready for the BIG game!!!

The BIG day is here! Justin and the boys have all their BYU gear on and are ready to watch the game over at Justin's sister Jada's house. They are using a projector on the wall in one room and have a big screen in another to accomadate all the 45 or 50 BYU fans we have around, ok and maybe a few Ute fans. We are hoping they will pull through and we won't be disappointed! Go Cougars!!!

Nana came to visit!!!

My mom came to visit. Of course never long enough but we cherish every moment we have. Nana was here for about a week. Justin has been gone a lot with his job lately and so no better excuse to have the wonderful help of my mom. That meant she would be here for my Birthday even BETTER! Everything seems to go so smooth and my life seems to be so organized when she is here. I love it. Justin got back from one of his business trips and got to spend some time too, it was perfect. While Nana was here we went to Target and Steele was obsessed with the Christmas tree section. So my mom asked if I would like her help setting up my tree? I know what you are thinking too early. I couldn't pass up on the offer she is so good at decorating and I wouldn't have to do it by myself in a few weeks. I thought great idea mom and of course Steele loves it, he just keeps saying "Christmas Nana look!" Thanks MOM! Sorry Summer I know you wanted mom's help with yours! Guess I lucked out! We miss NANA!

Could it be "Lightning the Queen"?

Here is Steele with Daddy's new company car? He to say the least is obsessed with Disney's "Cars" and loves Lightning! Well he thinks dad's car is the real deal and is mad whenever he can't ride in it! He even has to say goodnight to "lightning" every night. It is very cute his little obsession!

Trip to Home Depot!

Well yesterday the boys went with us to Home Depot. We needed a few things for the house and since Justin is gone a lot lately with his job I took him up on the offer when he asked Saturday morning if I wanted to go. Well this lady kept asking me if I wanted aprons and I kept saying no we're ok. Thinking she wanted me to buy an apron which I had no idea why she thought I would want one, I was totally confused? As you can see I am not an avid Home Depot Saturday shopper and had no idea they have these little "FREE" aprons for kids on Saturdays and projects they give you to take home. Cooper was fascinated!!! Immediately putting on the apron while still in the store and proceding to act like an employee and tell us and other "real" home depot employee's where things were in the store. He gets so serious when he is playing a role. Everybody that walked by was laughing he was too cute!!! What a funny trip.

Costume Fun!!!

Well this year picking costumes was easy, I thought! Cooper insisted on being Batman and we already had that costume so I was like SWEET! And mommy wanted Steele to be a cowboy riding a horse. Well that didn't go over as easily as I had hoped. Steele hated it. He yelled the entire time "OFF" and "I don't wike it." Well ya can't win um all! At least I was able to sneak in a few pictures in the first moments he had it on!

Cooper's 2nd Soccer Game!!!

The boys getting coached by Wes. Cooper will never call him Wes when it is soccer time he gets real serious about game time and will only call him coach! So funny.

Here is Tristan, Jackson and Sully waiting for there turn on the bench. I love this age, the attention span is so short doesn't take long and there finding something else to do.

Cooper was feeling pretty good about his second game. He even gave the thumbs up. My brothers never played soccer so this is a new experience for mom to learn the game. At this age there is not much to learn, 4 on 4, no goalies, apparently no out of bounds, and kind of a free for all. It is so hilarious to watch and so cute. All but one little boy on the team is in our ward so they are all buddies and they have so much fun.

A long weekend home with Steele!!!

Steele's trip with Nana and Papa to Pizza Plus one of our favorite places to eat growing up.
Steele and Uncle Blake at the Park.
Genevieve and I went to our 10 year reunion. I can't believe it's been 10 years I'm getting old. It was fun catching up with old friends and great laughs. It was a trip down memory lane. I was glad I went and we had a great time. My trip home was too short but so much fun.

My boys!!!

Me and my handsome boys!!! Always keeping mom on her toes!

It's Football Season!

Its Football Season!!! Cooper knows when it's football season he senses his dad being glued to the Cougar board and seeing how the Dolphins might shape out this year! So what does Cooper do? His football gear is on everyday now. Running plays through the house and making sound effects. He crosses his eyes because he thinks he looks more mean or something? And always making little brother the "bad team" as Cooper calls it. Poor Steele, he going to be tough as nails!!! Go Cougars!!!

Summer Fun with some Cousins

Steele in his hodge podge swimming attire!!! VERYAttractive!!! Justin wasn't thrilled with the Care Bear Floaties. And Steele insisted on the googles so he could be like Cooper!
