Deck the Halls!

Cooper and I had fun "decking our halls" yesterday. It's so nice to finally be able to decorate now that Thanksgiving is over. We are looking forward to the First Christmas with our cute little guy!

He sure is our cute bundle of JOY!

Belly-belly

Just couldn't help but show these off. And take a look at that belly! He's putting on the holiday weight, I think he's aiming for Santa-look-alike!

I love digital cameras!

You may think this is a weird title for this collage of pictures, so let me explain. Normally, with a non-digital camera, I would only take 1-3 pictures so as not to use up the film, and hope that one of them would turn out. With digital, I can take billions of pictures and easily erase the bad ones. And then you have times (i.e. the pictures above) where you take billions of pictures and you don't have any to erase because your kid is so cute! So therefore, I love digital cameras ;-)

Simple, yet not

So for my brother's 27th birthday, my family had a little get together and I decided to make a cake. This cake, although simple-looking, took 4 hours to create. Have you ever tried to free-hand a soccer ball? It's nearly imposssible to get all the angles and sides perfect. Eventually I just had to get out my soccer ball and trace around the pentagons and hexagons and then transfer that to the cake. All a labor of love though!

And even after all that work, I still really like cake decorating! Amazing!

Wow, look at all those candles ;-)

Who says we can't dance!

So I stole this idea from a friend (thanks Lisa) and I just couldn't help but "Elf it up"! This is the only way that I can dance...hope you like it.

PS My brother Tyler is the elf on the far right. We needed another picture.

Cutest Laugh Ever

Halloween

My super cute Pea Pod!

If only!

Pumpkin Time

We had a fun time carving pumpkins for FHE on Monday night.

Coop wanted to carve some by biting it.

He didn't really like the taste though!

Happy Halloween

So, I know that it's not Halloween yet but we had our ward Halloween Party on Friday and another party on Saturday that we dressed up for therefore we already have Halloween pics. As you can see, we decided on a theme of Fruits & Veggies. Caleb is the Jolly Green Giant, Coop is a pea pod, and I am grapes. (the second night I did grapes was better because instead of taping the balloons on, I strung them all together and then wrapped them around so they were thicker but I didn't get any pictures)

Whoa! A little scary if you ask me ;-) Coop's not so sure either.

Who is that cute kid?

Look at me!

Look how big I am! All of a sudden I decided I could sit up and I love it! Don't I look cute!

This is my cousin Ashlyn and I just love her. She always plays with me and makes me smile! I just love her!

The big Finale

So here is my final masterpiece. I have to say that my right hand and forearm are super sore today from those roses and I have a lot more respect for those itty-bitty cake decorating ladies. They must be ripped. I'm sad the class is over but I look forward to the next course that involves fondant, fun, fun!

Timp Caves

On the way up to the caves. Notice our cute little boy sticking his head out of Daddy's jacket. The hike was about 1 and 1/2 miles long and pretty steep. We were huffing and puffing so we stopped to take lots of pictures ;-)

Cave formations while inside the caves

What does this cave formation look like to you? (it's supposed to be a dog)

There was lots of ducking and dodging while walking through the caves and Coop tried to catch a peek.

This week's cake

Ok, so they are really cupcakes but aren't they cute? I was hesitant to do the clowns because I am not a fan, but I actually really like them. So fun!

Look at that hair!

I have been waiting so long for Coop to get enough hair to do something with and the day has finally come. Above, I spiked as much of it as I could and below, we gave him a mohawk! I think I have too much fun with it!

Cakes Galore

So my sister and I are taking a cake decorating class together and I have to say that it is the funnest thing ever! This is my first masterpiece. I'll be posting my new cake weekly so you can see my progress ;-)

Go ahead, just try and not smile!

It is a rare occurence for Coop to laugh (he holds his breath instead) and Grandma AJ just hit the jackpot on this video. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

My Cute Husband

It was a Monday night and Caleb had just arrived home from class. It was time for FHE when he received a text saying he needed to go back up to campus. Of course, I threw a fit like any good wife would because I hadn't seen him all day. But he HAD to go so I sat there all huffy and puffy as he walked out the door. About 10 minutes later, I received a special text from my cute hubby, starting my exciting scavenger hunt. I left right away, feeling a bit sheepish. He sent me to all these different places that had special significance in our dating life. In each place I found the next clue that sent me to the next special place. I ended at the Bell Tower where my prince awaited with Martinelli's and a rose to ask me to accompany him to homecoming (well, to go to Park City for our own special homecoming). Isn't that so super cute! I thought it was!


This is us in Park City with Baby Coop. We got some excellent carameled apples while we were there at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. I highly suggest the key lime carameled apples if you ever go.









Here is Coop and I with Cosmo at the Homecoming game.
