Cooper and I had so much fun with our silly faces. We traveled all over snowflake in our silly faces and Cooper loved showing them off to anyone that would smile at him. First was to the post office to show his dad, then grandma and grandpa Caldwell's house, then we went to store and gave everyone a good laugh. It was a good day just being silly! I loved my day with my silly boy!

I've had many blessings poured over me, throughout
my life. One of the most important blessings I've had is
my family. Josh and my little boy Cooper. Josh
and i have had a hard time having children so when Cooper
came along we knew that he wasn't just going to be our son
but he was also a beautiful blessing that we prayed very hard for.
I absolutely love being his mom. He has brought us
so much joy, laughter, love and has been the best gift God
could have ever given us.
This month Cooper brought us a little scare, and a reminder on
how you should always count your many blessings. To make a long
story short, Cooper has had little red bumps on his body. We had
two different doctors one a family doctor who gave us a
scary theory
and wanted many tests done. So we decided to have a second
opinion with
a doctor who had a specialty in this area, and he gave us some
good news. He ruled out what the first
doctor thought. This took a lot of pressure off of us.
Then he said
he really has never seen this before and went and grabbed
another doctor
which gave the same opinion, and that was they didn't know
what it was. They told us its probably nothing, but if they
don't eventually go away, or if they get irritating or more occur,
come back and
they would run some more tests. I do feel a little bothered by
their diagnosis, I feel we still have some unanswered questions
about what the bumps are. I want to say thanks to our families
for there support
and prayers this past month. We have been so blessed to have
so many people around us that care for Cooper, he is truly loved!
Coopers funny comment at the doctors office
We where sitting in the waiting room and cooper needed
to go to the bathroom. So i took him as he was going number
two.
Cooper asked "mom am i sick"
Mom (marti) said, "do you feel sick?"
Cooper said, "no, then why am i at the doctors? Is it because my poo
looks like a carrot?"
So as you can see in the pictures, yes that is a Lizard.
Thursday morning i was
feeding Toni a bottle, he's one of the kids i watch and in the
corner of my eye, i could
see something moving on the couch. My first thought was maybe
cooper just
through something, but then cooper wasn't even around. I looked
closer and it was
a LIZARD! If anyone knows me I'm terrified of animals, bugs, i
guess just anything
that isn't human. So i gave out a big scream and kind of froze.
When I'm around
animals i just kind of stop breathing its like I'm claustrophobic.
So after freaking out a little bit i got the courage to grab my
cell phone and call josh
he was working at the post office so i was hoping he would answer
his phone. He didn't so i panic, a little longer called my mom
she didn't answer. So i just called josh again and he answered
i told him not to laugh but there's a lizard in our house sitting
on our couch to hurry and come catch the lizard.
So josh came to my rescue
and caught the Scary human eating Lizard,
I guess the lizard wouldn't eat me, but you never know!
Tonight we had family home evening on families, and on how our family
can be together forever. I really don't know how much Cooper understood
what was being taught, but I think he did a wonderful job on his picture
of his version of our family. I think I have a little artist on my hands!
All I really do know is he loved the trip to Donald's for a Ice cream cone!
Cooper got some more loving from is grandpa and grandma DeWitt this week!
If you have read my post below you will understand how much Cooper has been
into dinosaurs, he's going nuts pretending he's a dino! I got to admit its
pretty cute! Coops grandparents spoiled him with this T-Rex! Cooper thinks
its his best friend. They watch cartoons, play and sleep together! With Cooper
having a dinosaur as a new best friend i don't think he will ever stop thinking
he's a real dinosaur!
Don't you love coopers dinosaur pj's, i can hardly get them of him! He thinks
its his dinosaur outfit!
Cooper has been going crazy this past week pretending he's a Dinosaur!
Its been quite the adventure with Coopers imaginations, he actually
thinks he's a Rapture dinosaur. I was going to run some errands and
i said to cooper lets go, and he wouldn't come, then he said mom you
have to say Rapture lets go! What am i going to do with this little guy?
The good side to this is cooper is really picky with food, but if i say its
dinosaur food he will eat it. So hopefully he will gain some well needed weight.
On the other hand its not so good. We went to the park on saturday with
some friends and my little Dino was chasing kids and making growling sounds
at them, i was just glad that the kids didn't take him seriously and start
fighting. We gave the kids fun dips at the park and this just helped
coopers imagination grow with his green tongue because dinosaurs have
green tongues. I could go on and on about this little guy, we love our
little dinosaur! He's a nice one!!!
My big brother Monty, his amazing wife Kendra, gorgeous daughter
Reagan, and big blue eyed Krew came to Snowflake to
visit. Cooper could hardly wait for Reagan to come, and the reaction
on both of their faces when they first saw each other was so adorable,
their big smiles and big hug, was so cute! Then off they went
to play. Here's a few fun things we did this weekend!
Picnic at the Park! BUBBLES, they loved chasing bubbles but I think
Monty and Josh had more fun blowing the bubbles, they both looked like
little boys playing again! SLIDES, Coop and Reagan I think went down
and up the slide more than a hundred times. SWINGS, Cooper was a litte
scared of the swing. FOOTBALL, which Krew loved he is going to be a ball
player for sure! COUSINS, Becky ELkins and her 2 cute kids Macee, and Payton,
Aunt Sherri and Janessa also came to visit. SLEEP-OVER, Coop and Reagan
decided to have a sleepover in Gunners tent. PILLOW FIGHTS,
TELLING STORIES, pretending to be all kinds of animals, PLAYING HOUSE,
CRIMPING HAIR, Reagan looked so cute with her hair crimped just like a
princess! COOKOUTS, grilling with Papa. WALKS, and playing in the sand
in the canyon. RIDING 4-WHEELERS, playing with GUS, and watching CONFERENCE!
Getting tons of LOVE from Papa and Grandma!
This weekend was so amazing, words can not describe the warm feeling
I had inside me when I watch my little boy play with my brother Monty's kids.
This weekend brought back so many memories of when I was young and the
fun Monty and I had playing together. I love you Monty and your wonderful
family. Can't wait for the next time to play!
