Our Happenings

Well, our trips are over, our visitors are gone and we are back to everyday life. I love having company and visiting with people so it was sad to have it all come to an end. It was, on the other hand, really nice to wake up the next morning after coming home and knowing that we would be back on our schedule, nap times, and Jake would have his toys to play with. That all makes it nice to be home and have a schedule again. So here's what's up around here as of late:

Kind of random, but I felt so cute on Sunday so we took a picture. My new dress, earrings, new haircut, it's always fun to feel good!
There's nothing better than gettin' all cozy in nice warm sheets
Cooper is always searching for his feet so he can suck on his toe
This is him all day long, all smiles!
Jake ALWAYS goes out when Wesley mows the lawn. My mom and dad got him his own little bubble lawn mower for his birthday and he just loves it. He's getting used to the big lawn mower but at times prefers to watch from a distance... here's how I found him, on the porch in a chair with a snack and a drink in hand to support daddy.
At the Nature and Science Museum - he was less than thrilled about taking a picture




Such fun boys

Daddy reading the scriptures to the boys
After family night on Monday, we made No Bake Cookies. Jake loves to help me cook, he helps me with dinner nearly everyday. He's such a great helper!
Cooper is rolling over now. He started to while at Flaming Gorge. A week before he turned 4 months. He rolls over all the time now, constantly!- he hates being on his tummy for more than a minute, so we are constantly moving him back over, it's so fun to see them do new things!


Oh my sweet Cooper. He was laying on the floor the other night playing with his toy and he fell asleep on his side holding his toy. It was so precious!
My mother-in-law gives us a membership to the zoo every year for Jacob's birthday and it's one of our favorite places to go!

Tell me how real this elephant looks! It's just a cut out of an elephant but when you take the picture, I think it looks so real!

Just wait until Jacob can mow the lawn. Our lawn mower has switch that makes it go by itself, with not much manual effert. So Brisen doesn't have to do much, but he loves mowing the lawn while Dave sits back and watches. Love your blog. -Rachel
