Weekend fun!

Cooper grabbed his bowl of carrots and as you can see had lots of fun making a mess!
This weekend we got to go to the LD's concert and meet up with some of my old LD's buddies! it was so fun. makes me miss singing though! Then the next day my parents came up for a visit. it was great to get to see them! I love living close to both of our parents! it was so fun to see them and Cooper loved them! He loved dancing with Grampa to oldies music and he kept giving my mom what we call "Coopey kisses".. they are very slobbery! Overall we had a great weekend! Thanks Mom and Dad for coming to see us!

We had a great Easter weekend. It was rainy on saturday so we decided to go bowling. We haven't been bowling for quite a while and had a great time. But now I owe Dev a foot massage! I was doing so good at the beginning and up by 20 points when I fizzled out and Dev got two strikes at the end so he beat me. But Ronnie (Dev's dad) beat everyone. He was on a roll! Then we came back and went out to Devin's gramparents and visited. Then back to his parents to play games. It was a great day! Easter was Cooper's first time at church. He looked so cute in his little church clothes. It was fun to have him with us, some people forgot we even have a baby! but it is hard keeping him quiet. He likes to talk and laugh and make noise! Overall it was a great Easter!

The babies- Cooper, Sydney Hendrickson, Kate Larsen, and Dillon Dyreng
We got together this weekend with Devin's best friends, they grew up together in Gunnison. They all married awesome girls and we had a fun time having mother/girl talk. It was great to get together now that we are married and have babies all around the same age. Chris and Jennie are moving across the country for the summer so we wanted to get together before they move, so it will be the last time for a while. But it was fun to see everyone, we had a great time!

Where is Cooper?

hmmm... I left him on this blanket.... do you see him?oh there he is! silly boy!

He is trying to escape! good thing he can only roll so he doesn't get too far. but he definately doesn't stay where I left him anymore.
Oh and other good news for us today- Dev got accepted into Weber's RN program! we are so happy! only one more year. anyway it just made me laugh when Coop went MIA so
I had to share. hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

Thankful

My Baby is already 7 months old! It sure flies by. Update on us- Cooper is getting his 2nd tooth in. teething is no fun for mom's. I feel so bad for the poor little guy! He is such a good, happy baby though.. even though he is teething he still is so happy. Dev finished up his clinicals and is back in school for the next 3 weeks. He can't wait to be done! Baseball is still consuming our lives but Dev is absolutely loving it. He is so cute out there. Though my fam wasn't huge into sports growing up I always thought it would be cool to be a coach's wife and always wanted to marry someone into sports so that he could teach our boys. I have a thing about a guy in uniform and my hubby is sure handsome in his! =) Last week we had some pretty nice days and I loved being able to take Cooper for a walk. I can't wait for summer, we are going to be outside all the time! I am especially excited for this summer because we aren't doing alarms and it will be our first summer since we got married to be home! I love that we are settled now and we won't have to move and pack all our stuff to storage and that Dev won't be gone all the time. I am so excited for camping, BBQ's, vacations, and Dev having more than one day off a week! It will be so nice to have him home with us! I am just feeling so thankful today. Eventhough I have gone through some really hard trials to get where I am today I feel like Heavenly Father has blessed us tenfold. I am exactly where I wanted to be and where I pictured myself. I love being a mom. I love being a wife. It is the most amazing blessing. I have a wonderful supportive family, amazing inlaws, belong to the gospel of Jesus Christ with a wonderful Prophet and apostles to lead and guide us, and live in a great community in the blessed USA with a roof over my head. What more could a girl ask for?
