He's a chuch goin' man...and other randomness

Cooper came out the other morning dressed like this.........ready for church!
He plays "church" almost everyday.
Speaking of church..on Sunday they created two new wards. We are now in a different ward and I was way more emotional about it than I thought I would be. I knew it would be hard if we got split from our ward and wonderful bishopric but let's just say I was an emotional disaster! I know that this change was inspired from our Heavenly Father and it will bring new blessing I am sure. It is just hard to be leaving such a wonderful ward! So to all of you that we left in the 5th ward...we LOVE you and will MISS seeing you on a weekly basis. Atleast we don't live too far from most of you so we can still see each other!

Another favorite thing Cooper loves to play is camping! He asks Nick everyday if we can go camping in the backyard. His dreams then are crushed because for one it is freezing outside, two our backyard is dirt, three we have no block wall....I don't want to meet a coyote! So, when Cooper asked Nick on Friday he told Cooper we could have a camp out "inside" on a night that Nick didn't have school. We decided that Sunday Night would be the best. We made Hamburgers for dinner and then set up our "camping bed" by the fire since we don't have a tent. Cooper got his sleeping bag and pillow and was all set. It was a fun night but, Cooper did not want to go to bed....he was too excited to be camping!

Kallie has loved the Bumbo lately...thanks Hailee Mae!! Here she is one morning reading the Wheaties box

My sweet blue eyed baby

Roll Over

Tonight while I went to go give Cooper his towel so he could get out of the bath, I put Kallie on her tummy on a blaket in the living room. When I came back in she was laying on her back. I couldn't believe it! She did it...she rolled tummy to back! Yay! She is growing up way fast!

Other updates

Cooper has been riding his bike all the time and is getting pretty good on it. Maybe by Easter we will take off the training wheels..we will see how he does!

Nick started the Police Academy this week and is already learning lots and has been studying like a mad man. He is really enjoying being back in school!

I started cooking for Nick's Grandparents again and taking it into them. And of course hanging out with the kiddos. Cooper is a hilarious little guy! There is never a dull moment with him! He defiantly keeps me on my toes! Now that Nick is in class every night Cooper really misses daddy putting him to bed, but we are getting a pretty good routine going and it is even leaving me with some "me" time which has been nice.
That about it...not really too much else has been happening but therefore each day seems to be crazy and there is never enough time to get done all the things that I need to. I must be getting old!

3 months, blessing, sick

Ahhh... Kallie is already 3 months old! She is developing quite the cute little personality! Some things she is doing at 3 months:

• smiles, coos and laughs back at you when you make silly faces or noises
• loves to play patty cake, especially with Coop
• loves to be held facing out so she can see everything
• when Nick rubs the back of her hair she will practically turn her head all the way to see what is touching her head
• loves bath time...her legs are kicking and splashes water EVERYWHERE!
• loves old men- she smiles so big at laughs
• almost out growing her bassinet
• lifts her head up like a little turtle when on her tummy
• hates sleeping on her back
• loves to hold on to blankies, hair, shirt or whatever is close when she is drinking her milk
• drinks 4 oz

We love sweet little Kallie SO much and can't get enough of her. She is such a happy little babe!

We blessed Kallie on Sunday Jan. 3rd. Nick gave such a beautiful blessing. Most of our family was able to attend except for a few who were sick...this is including poor Cooper. We didn't want to take him and give those were healthy and sick germs. Cooper has had a fever since Saturday and this is pretty much what he has done for the last five days...

Kar was nice enough to come stay with Coop during the blessing and then Jill & Bryan came to watch him while Kar came up to eat some treats and visit.
