Fun in the Rain











A while back it was raining, and cooper was dying to go out in the rain! He dressed himself up in what he thought was appropriate rain gear and begged to be let outside. How could we refuse, when he is dressed like this?

Liam is 1!






















yesterday my baby turned one! He seems like he should still be a little baby. I can see why people have more babies. Liam has been such a joy to our family. He is sweet tempered, just happy to be in the thick of things. He loves to be cuddled, and loves his big brother, he is a climber and is now a great walker. He is persistant and steadfast, he doesn't give up easily, although it is always done in a quiet and patient way.












He came 3 1/2 weeks early, he was ready to come into this world, before we were. I didn't even have my bag packed. He was born into this world with the ease of medical miracles, how lucky I am for c-sections! Little Liam I love you my monkey!

A Lot Has Happened

It sure has been busy for us, and for all of you too. I apologize for my lack of blogging on my blog and your blog. I am looking forward to normalcy and getting back to blogging.

So this is a quick rundown of what my last month or so has been. . . . Cooper started to school, Travis was put in the High Council, Got Bronchitis. Cooper and Liam and I flew to UT by OURSELVES for the first time. It was pretty good getting there, we had KIND, KIND people sitting next to me. I helped plan my sisters shower, went to shower, planned Liam's first birthday with the fam, put that on. Spent all the time I could with my sisters and brothers and parents and Travis parents. Got to see Andrea and family that was pretty great! Held baby Bridger for the first time, tried to instill in him that I am his favorite Aunt even though he is just 7 weeks old. He didn't like me too much , he cried when I held him. Next time for sure, I know he will love me. Saw my Grandma and Daddy Daddy. Flew home again by myself, unfortunately that did not go as well as the flight to UT. AM EXHAUSTED. Found out next morning my grandpa died just hours after leaving UT, went around in a daze for a day and unpacked. Made plans to come back to UT, helped put on pack meeting, went to doctor about bronchitis again (3 weeks sick stinks) Flew back to UT, went to Funeral, celebrated sisters birthday, now this is where I sit. Alone on my parents computer, enjoying some quiet time. Fly home tomorrow on Liam's real birthday. Can't believe my baby is almost 1 how can that be?

I have had a blessed time spending so much time with my family. I cherish these moments, I am grateful for the time I have had to reconnect with my extended family. At funeral although we mourned the loss of someone we held so dear, we celebrated his life and the day was teary but fun to catch up with everyone, and to reminisce. I value the time I get to spend with my siblings. I love feeling apart of their lives. I will miss them!
