we are

into a bigger house.

I'm real excited about more room, extra bathroom, great room and a garage.

We are just renting for now but maybe when Josh is done with school we will build.

I'm going to miss my 105 year old house.

I love its charm.

Its been a warm cozy home for us.

I love our ward, they have been so good to us.

We are going to miss our neighbors. They always make sure Coopers toys stay in our yard.

I better stop. If I keep on going I'm not going to leave.

But I'm excited for change but I'm not excited for packing.

See you in a week or so and I will try and post a video of the Bruiser walking.

Look who's walking

August 5Th Bruiser took his first step.

August 15Th he walked to me from the coffee table.

August 21st he walks, falls down and stands right back up to walk again.

Its official my baby is walking.

I poo in Blue

These diapers are so cute!

11 months

I can't believe I've held you in my arms for 11 months. You have been a dreamy baby. You bring so much joy into our home. Last night as I rocked you to sleep. I thought about this time last year. It was a scary time for my health and yours. I have never prayed harder in my life as I did then. I've always thought I had faith but I don't ever think I really understood what faith was until you came to me. I hope you will always know how much I love you. How hard me and your daddy prayed for you. How much we wanted you. How much your big brother loves you. You are everything we dreamed of and more. We are so lucky to have you. I love you baby boy.

Mommy

likes

Cooper likes school but the only thing he doesn't like is that his teacher hasn't taught him to read yet. Oh man, i laughed so hard when he said that. My funny boy.

My handsome school boy

Woke up at 7am

had french toast for breakfast

and out the door before 8am

Coop was excited and nervous and I was a big bawl baby all morning.

today feels like the last day of summer

Because thats what it felt like to me when school started the next day.

My Coop Dog is growing up

Today the mailman put in our mailbox the letter that told us who Coopers kindergarten teacher was going to be. I know Josh and I were more excited about this then Cooper. As I opened it and read out loud his teacher, who by the way is Mrs. Romney. I started crying. Boy oh boy was it emotional for me. It hit me hard. My baby is going to be alone without me for 4 hours, five days out of the week. What if he can't open the box of crayons or gets a paper cut and I'm not there to make sure he's okay. I don't know if I can let him go. I think I better take my box of tissue with me on Wednesday.

We love vacations
