Colton's Blessing

Aunt Allison and her family came all the way from Las Vegas for the day for Colton's blessing.
The only picture we got and it has a glare on it. Oh well!

This is all the guys that were there to bless Colton.

Here are just some of the kids there.

We had a really good turn out. There were 59 people there and it was only family. Colton is the 34th grandchild for my parents. We had dinner and dessert and I hope everyone had a good time. I'm glad Brach was able to bless our little boy. Colton is a true blessing in our lives.

6 weeks old

So I haven't blogged in forever and I swear this time that I'm going to try and start it back up. Having 3 kids doesn't give you a whole lot of time to sit down and blog. Anyways, Colton was born the Oct. 22nd. He is now 6 weeks old. He is such a sweet baby and has been smiling alot. He sleeps pretty good at night and only wakes up once. For some reason I still don't feel all that rested. Maybe because he makes billy goat noises all night. Hopefully he will be sleeping through the night soon and I will put him in his crib in the other room. As for now he is in our room. At our last check up he was 10lbs. He was 7lbs 12oz. When he was born. So my milk is making him big. Well I hope all of you who have been asking me to start blogging again are happy. Hopfully I can keep it up now.

Cooper turned 2

Cooper turned 2 on July 1st
He wanted to lick everything off the things that were on the cake.

Birthday picture

Yummy cake and ice cream

Cooper now wears big boy underwear. I started potty training him the day before his birthday. So he has been potty trained for 4 days now. So good so far. Only one poop and one pee accident.

These are the cousins that came to the house to have some cake and ice cream. I love this picture of Cooper.

He tore into the presents.

We went swimming at my mom's for the start of his birthday. Dillon had tons of fun.

Where is your smile Cooper?

Oh there it is. He loves the water too.

So we are back! I thought I would just start with Cooper's birthday since it has been the last big thing we have done. The pictures on here are all messed up and out of order but you guys get the jist of what happened. I asked Cooper what he wanted for his birthday dinner and he told me "CAKE". He knows birthdays and cake go hand and hand. We went swimming and came home and had dinner and cake and ice cream. So all in all we had a GREAT day for Cooper. As you could see in the middle picture that is Cooper in his big boy underwear. He is doing really good being potty trained but he is not as into it as Dillon was. Dillon always told me he had to go and Cooper has to be asked to go. Needless to say we haven't had a pee pee diaper in 4 days. He wakes up with dry underwear too. Well I'm glad to say that we are back to blog again.

I'm going to make a come back

I'm going to be coming back and blogging again. I know all of you are excited. I don't know how any of you have gone on so long without me. I will be back with some new pictures and some exciting things that are going on around here. The biggest thing right now is Cooper's birthday is today and he is 2 and he has been potty trained for a day and a half. He has only had one accident and woke up with dry underwear. I can't believe how big he is getting. So that is just one thing that is going on here. I hope everyone is doing good and I can't wait to start posting some more.

Bike Fun

Cooper was screaming and laughing.
Smile for the camera

Dillon seeing how fast he can go with Coops on the back.

Cooper was hiding behind the ladder.

They have so much fun playing on this bike. Cooper loves being on the back and Dillon just tries to see how fast he can go with Cooper on the back. Cooper gets to wear the crash helmet. I'm glad he keeps it on because I have seen a couple crashes with these two. I'm so glad these two get along so good.

Story time

The boys went into their room and got up on Dillon's bed and had story time. Dillon was reading to Cooper and Cooper just thought that was great. Cooper is my little book worm and wants me to read to him all day long. We probably read 20 plus books a day. We need some new ones. Dillon has memorized the whole book of "If you give a mouse a cookie". So as you can see these boys really love their books.

The boys knocked out. It was so sweet. I love getting pictures of these precious moments.
This is Dillon trying hard to smile for the camera. ( Looks painful huh?)

My sweet boy in his work out pants and cheesy grin.

So I am working real hard at getting caught up to all the blogging I have been behind in. At some point I won't be so far behind. I don't want to get behind because at some point I want to make a blog book. The boys are doing good and so is Brach and I. We just do the same ol' things. Cooper has attitude but is so darn cute. He is starting to talk a lot. Maybe just to me but he can answer anyone with a yes or no. Dillon is just a growing 4 year old boy. He has a ton of energy and not enough time in the day to get it all out. He is a very good boy and likes to help me out with Coops. I'm so grateful for these two boys.

Train Day At the Museum

Dad was carrying around Coops
Dillon was rubbing all over that snake. Cooper wouldn't touch it. He likes to just look at animals but won't touch them.

Luke, Dillon and Logan. They were all to busy to look at the camera.

So cute! They all had a blast together.

Dillon was petting the bunny.

Say Cheese!

Cooper was in the back of the train line.

Cooper and I building his train.

Chooo choo. Dillon wasn't feeling the train line.

We loved looking at all the models of the trains.(Don't mind Brach's happy face. He really did have a good time.)


We had tons of fun and Dillon got to hang out with his friends. The trains were all set up and it was all pretty interesting.

Playing in the Snow

They built a snowman.
Dillon's mugshot

WE had fun

A couple weeks ago we went to the snow with Brach's sister and kids. We all had a blast. Just this last week we went to the snow again but Dillon was actually prepared for the snow. I went to the thrift store and bought him snow pants and boots.All for a whooping 16 bucks. You can't go wrong with that. Snow pants and snow boots for 16 dollars. I think that is great. No pictures of our last trip though. We had a blast though. We love sledding and it doesn't cost anything to go.

The Other Morning

Dillon was getting ready to go outside and play the other morning. This is how our conversation went:
Me: Dillon get your shoes on and go out this door. ( We were in my bedroom and I wanted him to go out that door because that was were I could see him when I was putting on my make-up.)
He turned around and bolted toward the other slider door in the kitchen.
Me: No, Dillon go out this door. ( He was still ignoring me.)
Me: 1,2.......
He runs back into the room
Me: Boy, you better start listening.
Dillon: Ahhh, Your talking to a wall.

I started to laugh because I always say to him. Dillon am I talking to a wall. The things my little boy says. Too funny!

He told me today: Oh that is FANTASTIC.
Yesterday he told me: That is Nonsense. (Brach always says that.)

Dillon turned 4

Too sweet

This is Dillon making his wish. I wish I had the picture of him at his birthday party. He had his eyes closed and his arms folded tight. He told us that is how you make a wish. It was so funny.

Getting ready to blow out those candles.

My little boy isn't so little any more. He has been 4 for month now and I can't believe how big he has gotten. He loved having a party this year and asks me every time anyone is having a party if it is for him. Where did those 4 years go? I recently put some pictures in frames and went through Dillon's baby pictures. He was so small and sweet. Now he is big and still sweet. He tells me the funniest things. Like he would rather go into the boys bathroom at church because they have a little toilet in there. (the urnels (sp?)). Nice! A couple of Sundays a go he came home with his tie in a small brown box. I said to him what is in the box? He said my tie. Why is your tie in the box and not on your neck? He told me that it got into the toilet. How did it get in to the toilet? He proceeded to tell me how it got into the toilet with his movements and what happened. I guess I just better not know what happened with that tie. GROSS! He has now been advised on what to do with his tie when he goes to the bathroom. I told him stick it in your shirt pocket. I love Dillon and all the silly things he does and tells me.
