FuN WeEkeNd!

Our family headed down to good 'ole Sanpete this weekend. It was a lot of fun times!


On Satutrday we went on a 5 hour ride in the mountains. The kids had so much fun and it was so beautiful to get away from the heat!



We have an ongoing joke between Jesse and I about having a lot of kids! Well we pretty much decided we can totally do it. Jesse and Brooke plus 10! (We need to find a number or a nickname that rhymes so if you have any ideas?!!) Gotta love the kiddos!





The cousins had fun in the swimming pool.

Who needs a swimming pool?






Our nice friends Julie and Noah invited us to this awesome slip'n'slide that they rented in Payson. It was 100 ft long and 20 ft wide. It was the bomb. When we got there, before I could blink Cohen was flying down the hill. I was so suprised that he was the daredevil flying down the hill. Aspen was totally opposite. She was being so shy and so Noah just took her down and made her go! After two times she was loving it. Dalton loved it of course because he was with his best buddy Isaac. Thanks for the fun!

swimming + birthday parties + knocked front tooth + lost tooth + haircut + rodeo + near car wreck + dog bite + 8 stitches + ear tubes + near drowning

EQUALS one heck of a 10 days of summer fun! I think :)
So I finally geared up and took the kiddos swimming. It was a lot of fun and Jett slept about the whole time. The kids had fun and didn't want to leave of course.



*We had a lot of birthday parties to go to and the kids were on a sugar high after all the fun.
*Last Sunday when we got home from church Cohen and Dalton decided to take pillows and slide down our hall.(We have hardwood floors) Any way so they kept sliding and having fun and I said "okay no more" and of course they had to press their luck one more time and CoCo hit his tooth on the baseboard. He was bleeding really bad and I cleaned him up to find his front tooth was knocked all the way back. Sorry no pic. Anyway so I wiggled it back forward and just left it and called the dentist. He said I did the right thing and now it is a waiting game. So far (knock on wood) so good.
*Dalton lost another tooth so he will look extra cute for school pics this year:)
*Then I decided to give him a haircut/buzz because his hair grows so fast I figured I would do it once until school started and then we will shape it back to his cute hair do! Well he decided he wanted it to look like Chuck Liddell so... then Jesse came home and said I don't think so...so it ended up being what it was supposed to be a buzz cut. Lots Cuter!
*We went to the Ute Stampede Rodeo and the kids loved it!Pictures are coming!
*Jesse decided that he wanted to take on another job. So he would work all day, sleep for 2 hours maybe and then work all night! Well after too many nights of that he was driving home and fell asleep and woke up on an off ramp about two miles away from where he remembered in front of a light pole. A little scary so he quit doing that real fast.
*Aspen got bit on the face by a neighborhood dog which required 8 stitches and a little entertainment. They gave her verset and she was a little loopy to say the least. Pretty much really entertaining since we were at the hospital for 4 hours. She is doing fine and still loves dogs.
*The next day Baby Jett got some tubes in his ears! Hooray! He has always been a happy little guy but just a little uncomfortable at times and has had 6 ear infections and constant fluid for two months. He is like a new man now!
*And last but not least for our drama we went up to bear canyon to a elder's quorum activity. We lasted the whole night up there by the provo river and as we were leaving Aspen decided to show her cute personality and disobey and jumped out of the car a few times. Then the last time she jumped right into the river because "she didn't see it." Luckily Andrea O didn't have to jump in after her and she grabbed the ledge of grass. She had to strip down to nothing for the car ride home and she was really traumatized. She fell asleep and when we got home she woke and said "mom I fell into the river" and I said "I know honey next time maybe you will learn to obey." She says to me now "Mommy, I will obey." After I made her say 5 times before she went to bed. Being disobedient will teach you every time and hopefully she will obey a little better. She is obviously here for a reason.

A Name and A Blessing!





What a wonderful day Sunday was. Jett Cooper received his name and a wonderful blessing by his grandpa Bill. It was such a touching, spiritual Sunday(sacrament meeting was awesome)and made me feel so grateful for my husband and our families. We are so happy to have baby Jett in our family. He is the best baby! So content and go with the flow. He is a little ham for the camera these days and just loves faces. He loves when his brothers and sister and daddy talk to him...he just lights right up.

3 Months!


Wowser! My baby Jett is growing so quickly. Not fair!
Well he still is sporting a mullet and a mohawk.
He loves his blanky.
Not loving his binky as much as he used to, but loves to suck on his fist and fingers.
He is a tough little guy...he tries to sit up while laying down and gets pretty far. Baby Jett loves to be held and talked to.
Is spoiled, even though they say you can't spoil baby's.
Definiteley a Boobie Man!
Baby Jett has the cutest laugh and smile!
He loves the bath!
He weighs 14lbs 11oz!
Loves his brothers and sweet sister. She is his 2nd mother.
Will sleep anywhere and mostly through anything!
We love you baby Jett!

P.S. Thanks sister Tara for the silohette pic. It's about time ;)

GigGle giGgLe!


I love babies so much! I think it is amazing how they learn so quickly to do something new! Baby Jett giggled today and it is too cute! He has tried so hard for the past month and he finally got it out. He is growing up way too fast. We love this little guy. I keep telling my kids to treat each other the way they treat Jett and it really makes a difference if they think about... would they hit baby Jett? would they yell at baby Jett? No, they need to love each other like they love baby Jett! I love how babies teach us so much and the innocence of a little child is priceless!

Our Staycation!

Since we are not going on any big special vacation this summer or get to the pool that often because of for one, the weather and two, could you see me take all my kids to the pool without Jesse, um NO! So we decided to make the best out of our backyard. Jesse and his creativity along with the help of our wonderful neighbor and another friend of ours built this awesome treehouse. So come on over for some fun;)!
