1 YEAR PICS, FAM PICS, EASTER FUN

I apologize for the picture over load in advance. But honestly...Cooper's pictures turned out so dang cute that I couldn't resist. I don't know how I am going to pick and this is only a fraction of all of the cute ones. Matt's cousin Catie took the pictures and did better than I could have imagined. So, if any of you are looking for an amazing photographer, I know a great one!!!



Matt's mom made this hat. She is incredible!



One of my favorites.







What a cute smile!!!















Thanks again Catie for our incredible pictures! You are the greatest!!!!

Happy Easter! We spent Easter in Bear Lake at Matt's Parents cabin. It was so much fun.



Matt and Cooper are all set for a tube ride.



Cooper was being blinded by the snow so we put some goggles on him. He hated them. Needless to say, they didn't stay on long.



This is Matt and Cooper on the tube being pulled by Matt's dad driving a four wheeler. I think Matt was trying to give me a heart attack by pulling this stunt.



Cooper laughed the whole time he was on the tube and cried for a good five minutes after his turn was over because he didn't want to get off.



Mom and Dad Coleman planned so many fun activities for Easter. For one of the games we had a bulls eye egg out in the snow and we all threw eggs off the deck trying to get the closest to the bulls eye egg. The snow was so bright so we couldn't even see the egg we were trying to hit. We ended up wearing these goggles. We are all looking great hu!!! Matt hit the bulls eye egg with Coopers egg so Cooper won the prize!



Between the Easter bunny, Matt's parents, and my mom, Cooper was spoiled for Easter.



Matt's parents got all of the grand kids a Zoozoo pet. Cooper loves it.



Cooper fell asleep eating breakfast before we left for Bear Lake.



My family went camping for Easter. CRAZYS!!!! It never reached higher than 45 degrees. Cooper and I went out there and visited for a couple of hours the day before we left for Bear Lake.



Cooper's first time eating dirt. Boy did he think that was great!

CAN IT GET ANY BETTER?

Here are some more pictures of my cute baby.



Isn't he so handsome? I just can't get over how cute he is and his personality is so dang funny!



He played the part of a grandma well. His facial expression is perfect. My mom had him wearing her glasses. He HATED it!



Cooper has been strutting his stuff around the house in his Bad Bones wife beater and diaper. He is in heaven.



A shirt with Bad Bones written on it and a remote is all this kid needs to keep him happy. Life is GREAT!!!

A look back!!!

I was looking at the pictures from when Cooper was born. Of course my heart melted and I thought I would share some pictures from each month of Coop's life. Sure do love this little guy!

1 year! Man how time flies. He has filled each day of my life with so much joy and I can't wait for what is to come.

Happy Anniversary!!!

I can't believe it has been 4 years since I married my best friend, and what an incredible 4 years it has been. I remember how happy I was the day I met Matt, then the butterflies that filled my stomach when we had our first kiss, then the complete emotion of pure happiness when he proposed, and then this wonderful day came where I was sealed to him for eternity. I knew that day that Heavenly Father really loved me to have blessed me with such an incredible soul mate and someone I am blessed to spend eternity with. I didn't think it was possible to have such happiness and I am amazed that my happiness keeps getting greater and greater. Matt made me a promise when we got married that he would make me laugh every day and I swear to you, he has kept that promise. I can't imagine life any better and I owe that to Matt and my sweet little Cooper. I love you both so much!!! Happy Anniversary babe!












Side note: I attempted taking pictures of our wedding pictures and clearly they didn't turn out great sorry. Also, my little Cooper is good. He has a bad cold but no RSV or strep :)

So many things

I can't believe how much fun Cooper is right now. Just when I think being a mom can't get any more fun, it does. He is a little ball of energy that is so funny! He has been walking every where now for about a week and a half. He has created his own language and if he is awake, he is talking in it. It goes a little something like this ,"gili gili gili gili gili gili." I listen to it all day and I LOVE it. Besides his own language, he is saying more things. He is saying "hi", "hi daddy", "ouch", "wow", "wee", and I swear the other day when Matt handed him his bottle he said, "thank you."



The poor little guy is so sick right now though, I am getting ready to take him to the doctor here in a bit. I am keeping my fingers crossed it isn't RSV or strep. He is such a good baby even when he doesn't feel good. He just sits and cuddles all day.



Matt and Cooper sat and pulled funny faces forever the other day. It is so much fun to watch these two. Cooper loves his dad so much. Every time he leaves for work he cries and runs over to the window saying "daddy, daddy." We watch Matt drive away every morning.



Cooper loves reading and would be perfectly content doing it all day.



He sat and read this book for 30 minutes without even turning his head.



The greatest addition to our family!!! My little sister had her baby. Isn't he so stinking cute? I just love him to death and it is killing me that Cooper is sick because I can't hold this little guy. He weighed 5lbs 14oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. He is only 4oz bigger than Cooper was. Cute little things.



Proud Aunt!!!



Look at how little he is in his car seat. My sister and her husband are the cutest parents. They love him so much. He is lucky to have such great parents.



We went and did one of Cooper's favorite things...swimming. He loves the water. We were in the swimming pool for 2 hours and Cooper could have stayed in there for many more.



I tried to adjust the color on this picture and made look all weird, sorry. My brother Daniel was blowing bubbles at Cooper and Cooper thought it was the funniest thing ever. He loved every second.

My baby is one!!!

I can't believe my sweet baby has been a part of my life for a year. It has been the best year ever! Matt and I couldn't have imagined parenting bringing such great joy into our lives. He is such a sweet baby and we are so blessed to have him in our lives for eternity. He is taking about 10 steps and then sits down. He can get around so much faster crawling so he turns to that after walking for a few steps. He is saying mom, dada, dad, daddy, apple, and he had an entire day of saying a-oh, and then decided he never wanted to say it again. I am pretty sure he doesn't know what he is saying when he says those words other than dad. He rolls it (from patty cake), and pulls the funniest faces you could ever imagine. Some of his favorite things to do are crawl up the stairs (the monkey can go up the stairs way faster than I can), banging things, singing songs, and reading books. His one year stats are height 30" which is the 58th % and weight is 21 pounds which is 24th%.



I wish we could have invited everyone to his one year party but our house is too small and couldn't fit everyone. So, we had a family party and boy was Cooper excited. He sat and sqealed for around an hour after everyone got to our house. He was thrilled to have a party and be the center of attention. He kept all of us laughing.



Matt did such a great job decorating.



Bet you can't guess how Cooper felt about his birthday hat. Needless to say he never wore it.



I think Cooper was a little confused when everyone started singing to him, what do you think?



He sure did have fun digging into his cake.



Someones mouth is full.



What a cutie!



This is what it looked like right before I took it away from him. He had way too much sugar and I am mad at everyone that said we were going to have a fun night. It was the worst night ever!!! He had the worst tummy ache from eating so much sugar and didn't sleep at all. That was a rough night but what a fun day. I am so grateful for my Cooper!!!!

Week Update

So, most of you know Cooper has a hard time eating, because of that I have been so worried about what to do for his birthday cake. I found the answer. I made banana bread the other day and Cooper ate almost a whole loaf by himself. He LOVES it!!! I put some on his high chair tray the other day and let him go at it. It was so funny. He made the biggest mess but loved every second of it. Needless to say, Coopers birthday cake will be a banana bread loaf with some cream cheese frosting.



At Matt's parents house on Sunday we celebrated Jordan, Brooklyn, and Cooper's birthday. Jordan's eyes are fixed on the candles. He almost blew them out before we were done singing.



Matt and Cooper having fun. Cooper is into pulling this half smile. He just squints his eyes. It is so cute.



Matt had Cooper in his Colts get up.



Matt watching the Superbowl and eating delicious food with his little buddy. Matt sure was sad his Colts lost but we still had a lot of fun.



Someone loves chocolate!



Man I love that little boy!



Cooper is such a big boy. I can't wait until he can ride in this. Cooper loves his seat and will sit in it forever. Cooper is also into pulling an O face. So cute!
