Cooper's 2nd Birthday!!

This year (July 13, 2010) Cooper wanted a "kaktor" (tractor) party. No surprise there. We had a really simple family party at the stake center pavilion. At the time of his party Cooper was completely obsessed with tractors. It was the only thing he would play with, and the only word he would say. Every time we went over to g-ma/g-pa house or work he would have to go on a tractor ride. And the only gifts he received at his party were tractors, and he loved every single one of them!

His present from mom and dad!

Happy Birthday Cooper!!

Cooper Turns 2 (part one)

I think that it is safe to say that I officially suck at blogging! A lot has happened in the past year or so, so I will do my best to catch everyone up to date a little bit!

Coop turned the big 2 last July. I thought it would be fun to do a cake smash, and I thought he would enjoy it too...WRONG(what 2 year old doesn't like a big cake covered in frosting!?!?!) First off he was mad that I put tractors on his cake, it made them "dirty." Instead of smashing into his cake like I thought he would, he would delicately stick a finger in the frosting and then try to shake it off. My cousin Aliza was trying to help me with the pictures. I told her to smash his hand into the cake, and to put some frosting on his face to see if that would help him along. That made it worse and the tears started to come. Since the cake smash didn't work I turned on the water hose to clean him up, and so he could play in it. Thats when he decided to perk up and have some fun! Here are some pictures to document the fun...

A few tidbits.

Well I just updated my blog clear back to easter. So if you want to read all about it keep scrolling.

I have been sooo busy lately I havent had time to do anything. I am counting down the days until July 29, and then I will be done with school forever! Finally! And then I will have more time to keep up on blogging.

The middle of April Trev got transferred to a different department. Now he works all. the. freakin. time! Last week he worked 100 hours. Ya thats not a typo or an exagerration. And it looks like this week will be the same. At least he gets his days off this week. Yay!

Cooper is almost walking. I am excited and scared at the same time. I am afraid that he will be more of a monster than he already is when he starts walking. Today he stood up out of the blue and took about 6 steps. He is a speed crawler. He can kick anyones trash at crawling! He loves dancing and groovin to the music. Anytime music is on tv, computer, phone he starts rockin to it. Balls and cars are his favorite. He pushes and chases them everywhere. He insists on feeding himself. If i feed him something he spits it out into his hand and then proceeds to feed himself. He does this with gooey slimy food too like mashed tatos, applesauce, oatmeal, you get the idea. I am loving watching him grow and develop everyday. I am so glad I am able to stay at home with him.

Very, very, BAD haircut.

Cooper's hair grows so fast that we usually cut it once a month. Well last weekend it was starting to look really shabby and trev had a couple hours off so he decided to cut it. Normally coop loves it and holds perfectly still while watching in the mirror. Not this time! He kept turning his head and moving, trying to grab the razor. It was a mess. I turned the water on thinking that maybe he would get distracted and kick his feet in the water. Nope. He decided to sit completely in the water. With clothes on. I told trev to just give up and we would fix it later....sorry the pictures are so bad and blurry. He would not hold still....
I am determined to get his hair fixed by Sunday!

See Cooper Run.

I love these. They make me laugh every time.

Swimming!

So far this summer we have been doing lots of swimming! We decided to get coop a little pool so he can play in something besides the bath. He loves it! He just splashes and laughs. And the pool is so small that he can crawl out of it and play on the grass for a bit and then crawls back in when he is ready for a lil swim...I have some video of playing in the pool, but for now all you get is pics...
