These boys are growing!

Well Monkey and Bob-a-loo are getting so big and grown up!

Monkey is pretty much potty trained! We have only had one accident in the last month. He doesn't even tell us he needs to go to the potty. The only issue I have with that is when he goes #2 and doesn't get wiped...kinda yucky! I'm just so impressed with how well he's done and how grown up he is. He went from an only child in diapers to a big brother that's potty trained!

Bob-a-loo has 3 teeth and is working on the 4th. He is now creeping around, in addition to rolling and side scooting. He loves to get on his hands and knees and rock back and forth. He loves to eat food, like his big brother. In the mornings he enjoys his cheerios and in the afternoon he loves getting new baby food and rice cereal.

The boys just love eachother! They giggle in the mornings when they see each other or if they've been apart for awhile. They roll around and play on the ground, sometimes for an hour or more. Moneky is starting to realize that Bob-a-loo wants toys that Monkey doesn't want to share; that's getting interesting. But all in all we have some happy, healthy, loving boys!

Rough Time!

We've had a rough couple of weeks, for several reasons. One big reason is that we found out that my mom has breast cancer. we don't really know too much more than she's scheduled to have surgery on the 25 of August. She is one of the strongest people I know, she's going to fight this thning as hard as she can. If you would, please keep her in your prayers!
Please also keep my family in your prayers as well. Right now we need all the support, love and prayers we can get!

Fun Week!

We had an eventful and fun week! We went to the Tree house in Ogden. We go ther usually once a week, but this time I actually brought my camera.










Then we went to the Pioneer Day parade in Spanish Fork and met up with friends. The kids really enjoyed it and the temperature didn't get bad at all!












Friday we spent time with Monkey's cousins and went to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. That is a fantastic and interactive museum. I really think it is worth the money to go and play. Monkey really enjoyed the sand and water and he made a castle for the dinosaurs. My camera died before the kids were playing in the sand and uncovering dinosaurs with brushes.

PHOTOS FROM JUNE!

4th of July Celebration!

OK, I know the holiday has been gone for over a week, I'm just behind in posting pictures and our events.

We checked out the Clearfield city celebration, and found out it was fun, even though it was 101 degrees! Monkey enjoyed the inflatable slide, we only bought 2 tickets, but Monkey somehow got himself 4 slides.





We also really enjoyed the city fireworks. We lucked out in finding a nice spot, not in the crowds, but with a great view of the fireworks. We found our spot about an hour earlier than starting time. In that time Monkey peed on the grass, just off our blanket, drank most of my slushy, and found 2 girlfriends to watch the fireworks with, thier blanket was just behind ours. Bob-a-loo even watch most of the 30 minute firework presentation. It was lots of fun!












Saturday we went up to Torrey's parent's lot in the mountains. We enjoyed a nice relaxing day in the cool mountains!

VACATION!

Bob-a-loo and I had a wonderful time in California.

We went to Huntington Gardens

We went to the mountains

We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific

We went to see the ocean

Bob-a-loo went swimming for the first time

AND I got an LA haircut

Monkey had an eventful time as well, while we were gone. He got vertical over a fire pit, with fire in it, and was caught just in time by Torrey. He also got very proficient at using the potty!

To California I go

Today bob-a-loo and I are heading out to California to visit my sister Emily and Aunt Susan and Uncle Bernie. I'm really excited to get away for awhile and relax. I'm a little nervous about the plane flight with Bob-a-loo; he's not quite as easy going as Monkey was as a baby. We'll just have to see.

Monkey's really excited to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Copfer, and go camping with Dad this weekend. As excited I am about gettring away I'm also kind of sad to leave Monkey and Torrey, I will really miss them. I guess it's just bitter sweet!

I'd better finish packing!
