Cousin Fun

Cooper has so much fun playing with his cousins. He loves playing with these older boys that give him endless four wheeler rides. They know that he will not get off so they just deal with it! It is fun to watch him interact with these boys. He loves to follow them around and do "big boy stuff".

Rewster

Yesterday while sitting in Sacrament Meeting, Cooper was looking at his Dog book where he found a picture of a yellow lab pup and kept saying,"Rooster, Rooster, Rooster" over and over again. He would turn the pages and always come back to the yellow lab and say"Rooster, Rooster, Rooster." For a moment it made me feel bad that the stupid dog is gone and that he is not going to see him anymore! Every boy needs a dog or to be around one! Maybe Grandma & Grandpa can get another dog for my little Coop when they get home, hopefully not another PUP!
Just another story about Coop while on the subject everyday he asks me I don't know how many times "I want Papa's hous", "I want Papa's hous", he doesn't stop until I say,"Okay, I will take you to Papa's house". I may tell him that a few times a day, but anytime we are going to go anywhere or whenever he gets bored he asks to go to "Papa's hous". Yesterday night we were taking the boys for a ride and I was talking to my mom on the phone, Cooper wanted to say hi so he was talking to her and we hit the intersection of Leslie and Clearwater well he flipped out because Brenden never turned to go to Papa's house. He threw one of his "Cooper fits", but I felt so bad for him because he was talking to Grandma on the phone and he wanted to go to her house! He doesn't quite understand that Papa and Grandma are not there! He was heart broken and mom felt so bad for him. All she could say was "ohhhh, poor kid". She was doing her hardest not to cry. It means so much to her that the little stinker misses her so much! We just ended up having to get off the phone because he screamed for the next 15 min. Thank heavens the weather has turned nice and Tricia is coming and we can go out to "Papa's hous" and he can play all day long. He is in heaven there.

What a day

My day of fun started off by babysitting these two cuties Hunter and Luke. They are not identical twins, but I still can't tell them apart. Don't they make you wish you had twins? Then Hayley and a few of her friends came over and we popped up my new toy. The kids had a blast and as the day went on the wind went down and we had a nice day! The nicest day we have had in who knows when!! The kids played in the pool and water slide and ate and ate POPSICLES!!!


My little scaredy cat loved it!

Climbing up. It is quite a work out for the little ones to make it up!
Then after school the big boys came over!!

Here they are! A bunch of neighbor kids eating POPSICLES! I cut cute little Brooke out of the picture. There were so many of them I couldn't tell if I had them all. They boys loved it and loved eating popsicles. A couple boys asked their mom if it was Cooper's birthday today!

They were having fun throwing the ball at each other and climbing up backwards! It was so nice to actually have a decent day. Tomorrow it is even suppose to be better and the slide is going back up and the kids are coming back over after school! I have to go restock my popsicles and energy they are wiped out!!

School's out for the summer!!

Today was Cooper's last day of Pre-School. Here he is with Teacher Claudia. He just loves Claudia and I think he is going to miss her tons over the summer! Every day when he gets to school after he hangs up his back pack he runs into the room and makes a b-line to Claudia to give her a hug. I can tell she just loves how much he adores her. One time she slipped and said Cooper was her favorite and then said oops I am not suppose to have favorites! Cooper's speech is coming along he can basically say anything you tell him to say or he at least tries. He has to learn to be able to spontaneously say words in sentences. A work in progress. You will never know how much it means to hear a child say a word or speak in sentences until you have a child with a speech disorder. When Cason says a word we are just in amazement, like how did you just say that?

On Friday I watched Tammy's girls. Cooper and Regan enjoying a moment.


Addy was trying to pull off her pants. I asked her if she needed to go potty and she told me yes. I took her in there stuck her on the potty and when I came back what do you know the girl went! Can Addy please come potty train Cooper! How can some be so easy? I seriously wish there was a potty training school you could send your kid to. But then again I guess that is one of the joys of motherhood!

The kids jumping on Cooper's bed! Nice paint swatches huh? Still can't quite figure what I want to do in Cooper's and soon to be Cason's room. I was getting ready for my yard sale the next day and was pricing some baby clothes when cooper found this shirt and demanded he put it on. Sorry Coop 6-9 months not quite the right size. The funny thing was the back of the onesie made it look like he was wearing a thong! Gross I know!

Birth day

Last Monday was Troy, Tricia, Hayley, and Adam's birthday. I know half our families birthdays are on June 2nd. Due to having c-sections mom was able to make this possible! She must of also liked fall! Sorry I only have a picture of Hayley and I stole it from her blog. I know she loves this picture. Hayley and I took the kids and went out to lunch and then afterwards let them play on this bounce house. Kate, Brooke, and Cason loved it. Cooper still to scared to get in one. He likes to feel like he is in control and he is not inside a scary cat bounce house! One fear at a time!
