Christmas Clothes

I love to have the kids in Christmas outfits the day before Christmas. This is their outfits. The boys are the same as we wore for our Family Pictures, but still so cute!



































Collin was doing a strongman pose of some kind!

Funny Ideas

Camille explained to me about ages today:

1 year olds are nice
2 year olds are weird
3 year olds are mean
4 year olds buckle their own seatbelts
5 year olds are cute
6 year olds like sleepovers
7 year olds are really really really cute
8 year olds are not as cute
9 year olds like to eat out
10 year olds love to go shopping!
11 year olds are cuter than 7 year olds
27 year olds love to drive in the car

Collin

Collin has had a little cold the last few days. This is how one conversation went:
Collin: I don't feel good.
Mom: What doesn't feel good?
Collin: I don't Bemember.
Mom: Well what do you feel like?
Collin: I feel like a Potato.

I was pointing out that there is now snow on the mountains. Collin absolutely Refused to believe that it was snow. When I asked what it was, he responded...... "Bird Poop"

We had such a fun day at Pineview today! Kooper had so much fun digging! We barely heard a peep out of him!






















Camille dug a hole and told us that she was "building a castle under the sea!" It was super cute!























Collin was so concerned that the boat was gonna get away! When we were packing up he was doing this!

Ouch

This is one of the saddest pictures I have taken in a while, but I had to post it anyway. We were trying to get ready for Bear Lake and I had a bunch of stuff on the counter to pack. One of those items was a bottle of spray sunscreen. This is the result. My curious Collin man wanted to see how it worked, and in the process took a shot Straight into his open eyeball.

This is the next day even! He screamed for like 2 hours! I felt so horrible for him.

Going outside

Kooper really loves to go outside. But he isn't always allowed out there. A couple of times I would see him out on the deck and honestly I got upset with the kids for letting him out! Then a few days later, I caught him in the act!

He is no dummy!

The Snake

So, a few days before this incident, Camille told me there was a snake in our grass. Naturally, I thought she was just using her imagination! So when they were playing outside on Saturday, I wasn't surprised when she said there was a snake. But I was surprised when she said Daddy had caught it!


















Kooper tried to eat it! HAHA





















I thought Collin would be totally freaked out, but he wanted to hold it!


















Camille is my more timid one, she was a little freaked out.














Welcome to my world! What a cute Dad!

Kooper Walking

Kooper finally decided that walking is the faster way to get around! This was after he had been doing it for a while, since our video camera broke. So this is not the best quality, but it is super fun!

He is just getting so darn big! He was 13 months old when he finally started. And once he figured out how not to fall over, he was just Running all the time.

Meet Jack!

This is Jack! Formally known as Camille. She is so cute with her two front teeth missing.

She is having a hard time eating some of the things she loves! And it just makes me laugh harder! We have been cutting up her apples, carrots, cantaloupe and a few others.

Hey there Sports fans!

So Collin found my uniform from Powder Puff Football and so Camille had to cheer! I love this age, where their imaginations are sooo fun! Oh ya, and GO DAVIS!

Our Day at the Duck Pond!

It was Kook's first time being able to feed the ducks, although he did enjoy eating the bread more than throwing it!




























We went with our cute friends the Hardings! We love them!














This is what Camille does when you say you want to take her picture. She is just so stinking cute!

Kooper's Birthday

Here are some pictures of Kooper's First Birthday!

My Sweet Kooper Man!

I am slow in posting this, but Kooper turned 1! I can't believe my little guy is already that big! I will post pics of his party, but I just want to highlight him!
















13 Days in the NICU was NO fun! But he left with a clean bill of health! YAY! What a trooper!











Coming Home!!
















Not a very good picture, but Collin was not super excited about a baby! So had to capture him when we could! This is also when Kooper got his nickname of "Kook!" Collin was still struggling to talk and couldn't say Koop, so he started saying it Kook! And it just stuck!








Blessing Day!



















Look at that WILD hair! I still can't get over not only the quantity of hair, but also just the fun factor! All of our kids have been hairy, but the rest could be tamed. But not Kooper!

Funny Kids

Today the sun came out for a few Minutes and Camille was in the back seat and said "Thank you for putting the sun out Heavenly Father!"

We have been talking about tithing at our house the last few days. Well today after Camille was happy about the sun, Collin chimes in with "And Thank you Heavenly Father for taking our money!"

Look at my new pants!

Collin was running around without pants (Why do boys do that?) and I told him it was time to get pants on... So here is his solution to not do what I asked but not get in trouble.

He went and found a pair of MY pants none the less! HAHAHA!

Kooper loves his Daddy!

I just love this picture! Daddy is so good to just let him nap on him when he is super fussy! I think it is so sweet!

Post Office Field Trip

Today Camille's class got to go to the post office to see how it all worked. Since she has school at the EXACT same time as Collin, a friend let her go with them. When I asked her how the post office was she told me "There was a real room that they put mail in! I didn't like it! It was WAY too dirty!" I guess your kids really do listen to you and pick up your little oddities. Of course she is picking up my germ-a-phobia, and Collin is picking up my weird eating. It will be interesting to see what weird thing Kooper does that he learned from me!

Today Kooper is 8 months old! I will post a pic after nap time. I can't believe time has gone so fast! He is growing like a weed and super healthy! Love you Kook!

New Years Resolutions

One of my many many resolutions this year is just keeping the blog up to date with what is going on in our family! I am not a big journal person, I have a hard time making the time for it, but this is a great way to remember important things that are happening in my families lives! Some posts may be boring to most of you (That is, if anyone is out there lol) but this is just for me.

First Day of Preschool

Collin started preschool November 10. I can't believe he is old enough to be in preschool. He is actually in Special Ed preschool. I am happy that he is in that setting because they are more equipped to not only deal with some of his outbursts, but also are working with him as well! He goes two times a week for an hour and a half. And he gets home and is just fried! It is really hard on him. But I really am proud of him and his progress.

Collin's party

Collin had just a family birthday party this year and that is quite a houseful. Collin LOVES Thomas the tank engine, so he loved his cake and decorations. He gets really upset with lots of noise and stuff and presents take a long time cause he likes to look at each one, but I love having him as part of our family. I can't believe how old he is getting!

The Airplane

The other night we came into the office and this is what we saw... our sweet Collin boy loves his planes to fly - and it was! Made me smile!
