Shout out!

I have to give a shout out to my incredible husband. It was so much fun to honor him on fathers day. He deserves it so much. He is such a great dad. He and Cooper are already best friends. It is like Matt was born to be a husband and a father. Cooper and I are so lucky to have him in our lives for eternity. He works so hard for us and has us in mind in everything he does. My life is PERFECT because of him and my Cooper.

Although Fathers Day is wonderful, it is also very sad. I miss my dad so much! He is the greatest dad anyone could ask for. His example is still affecting my life today. One thing he instilled in my life was a strong testimony of the plan of salvation. I am so grateful for that because that is the only way I can find comfort without having him to talk to anymore. He is my guardian angle. Happy Fathers day dad. I love you!!!



Cooper spent the whole time blowing kisses to my dads picture and saying, "gampa?"



How precious! I know that Cooper knows who he is. Cooper loves looking at his pictures and saying "hi."

Fun with Friends!



We went with Elise, Bronson and Tracen to Thanksgiving Point this week. I had no idea there were such cute things there for kids. Cooper was in Heaven. They have a Noah's Ark at the entrance where the kids can play in the water. Cooper and Tracen thought it was the coolest thing ever.



Here are the two kiddos. These two are so funny together. They are already getting into trouble together. Little Stinkers!



Here we are with our little ones. It is so weird that we have kids. We have been hanging out together since 7th grade. Time flies!

They also had a sand box there. Cooper LOVED that. They dug in the sand forever.



After leaving Thanksgiving Point we went bowling. We haven't been in years so our skills are a little rusty. I bowled a big 48!!! My only strike (and really the only time I hit more than two pins) was done by Cooper. He is already a champ!



Cooper and Tracen were on ball duty. :)



After bowling we gave the kids a bath. Poor Cooper has our skin and had a thick coat of sunscreen on him that needed to come off.



Earlier in the week I was able to have two of my other friends that I have been hanging out with since 7th grade over to my house. Here are their kids. Cooper than Max (Sarahs), and Blake (Mandas). We are so big now. Weird!!!

Family Fun!!!



Cooper and his Daddy! He can't get enough of his dad.



Playing in Daddies shoes.



Cooper's cousin Taiten was pushing him around in a car. Cooper thought it was the best thing ever. He thought for sure he was really driving a car.



Matt and I playing with our angle!



We tried to get a family picture but Cooper refused to smile so Matt put him upside down and sure enough, we found his smile.



We pulled out the bumbo again and although Cooper is way to big for it, it has become one of his favorite toys for the week.



Matt's family came over a BBQ and to go to the carnival with us. It was so much fun to have us all together. Uncle Bryan took Brooklyn and Cooper for a ride on the blanket.



Matt took Cooper down the slide at the carnival. They raced Jamie and Brooklyn. It looks Matt was trying to cheat :)



Coopers first "roller coaster." There is something with carnival rides that makes them seem like they go on forever. We went for about 3 minutes forward than 3 minutes backwards. TOO LONG!!! Bryan and Brooklyn went with us.



Matt also took Cooper on the merry go round. Also, went on forever. It is good to get your moneys worth but they take it to a whole new level.



Jaycee and I finished the night going on the Tilt a World. It was such a blast!!!
