Dinosaur Postman

Cooper still loves being a dinosaur, and so when we go to church i have to tell him that he can't be a dinosaur at church but that he can be one when we get home. He told me OK, so when church was over and i went to pick him up from his Sunbeam class his teacher said cooper said the funniest thing this is how it went.

Teacher said, "cooper why are you walking so funny."

Cooper replied, "because I'm a dinosaur postman."

So as the teacher was explaining what cooper had said to her in there class, cooper turned and said, "mom i wasn't being a dinosaur but a dinosaur postman, you just told me not to be a dinosaur." So than again my little three year old out smarted me! Cooper also thinks he's a postman sometimes. Josh will pick him up in his truck after he's done delivering the mail and josh puts his tag on him and takes him back to the post office. Cooper just loves being with his dad and loves being a dinosaur postman!

Camping and Pond

This weekend was father and sons. Josh asked his dad to come with him and Cooper they went to Black canyon lake. They had a blast even though it was cold, i guess on Tuesday it had about 4 inches of snow. Cooper had so much fun playing with all the kids his age. Josh said cooper was the boss and had all the kids looking for dinosaur bones which were sticks. I had a fun time hanging out with my Mom and Misti. Misti is just visiting for a couple of weeks then her and Stratton are going to Colorado to school at Adam state University so she can play basketball.
My Uncle Tom put some water in their pond over this past week. I think my dad is the only one who has really enjoyed it. He acts just like a little kid i would say most of the time but since he fell off the ladder and bumped his head i would probably have to say all the time. My dad cracks me up he stayed in for almost a hour he said, "it was refreshing." We had a fun week just hanging out with family!

Father like Son

The first picture is Josh when he was three and half years old. He's so cute! I always thought this picture was so adorable that i was going to have to take a similar picture of Cooper when he was the same age. It just so happened this past week Cooper turned three and half yrs old. I kind off got a little carried away with the camera, but Cooper's life has always been on film so i think he's used to it. I thought they turned out super cute! You can sure tell that they're father and son. I love my boys!

Silly day with a Silly boy

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!

Blessings

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?"

Our unexpected visitor!

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!

Family Home Evening!

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!
