Loving our Sunday afternoon

We look forward and love Sunday afternoons. It seems like Sundays are the only time we have to just relax in our home and spend time as a family. Cooper and I decided to bake Josh a birthday cake since we never had the chance when it was his birthday. Cooper loves cooking but he loved licking the bowl most of all. I would show you a picture of the cake but for some reason my cakes never stay together. I'm not kidding but they taste good. We loved our Sunday afternoon!

Playing in the rain

Cooper had a great day playing with his buddy Gunner! Gunner is the best uncle to Cooper. Cooper loves having Gunner around and they play so good together. We had a nice rainy afternoon, I love July and the monsoon weather. I know I probably shouldn't of let Gunner go outside and play since Gunner is suppost to be taking it easy but how can you keep a eleven year old down and lucked up? Cooper and Gunner loved it they where slipping, sliding, playing in mud, and laughing! It was so nice to see Gunner having fun and Cooper loved hanging out with his buddy Gunner!

DINOSAUR HEAVEN

Holbrook, Arizona is officially Coopers favorite place! It has trains going through the town every thirty minutes and they have dinosaur!


Cooper was so funny he was so excited to touch the T-Rex teeth or in Coops word toofus. Josh lifted Coop up to touch the T-Rex teeth Coop started freaking out he thought the T-Rex was going to eat him. Coop loves dinosaurs so much but he is also scared of them.

Cooper called this Dino baby T-Rex with bones!


Cooper was in heaven the whole time checking out the T-Rex but when it was time to leave that big smile turned into the biggest frown with tears. For a 3 year old its hard to say goodbye to T-Rex!

Always being silly

4 th of July

We had a great 4Th of July weekend! It was nice and relaxing! Cooper enjoyed having his dad around!

Cooper also had a blast with Gunner. Gunner is doing better but still can't be around big crowds and still is really weak so him and Cooper did a lot of playing with cars and wii. We had a lot of cousins around with BBQ and firer works!

Cooper loved hanging out with the boys! He was trying so hard to act like there age. Coop keeps on telling us that he's 6 and half and not 3, he is determined to be as big as Gunner.

Cooper liked the firer works, this time last year was a different story. We had a great fourth!

Hope everyone had a great 4Th of July weekend!

Coops first big hair cut!

Some summer pictures of Cooper at his great grandma and grandpa Despains backyard.




We were down in Mesa over the weekend and stopped by Jason and Kristy house to visit and Kristy ended up giving Cooper his first real hair cut. Yes i said we cut his hair. We were a little scared but Coop's so cute that we knew it would look good on him. We also knew there would be a lot of people mad at us for cutting his curls off, but they will grow back...

Coop had a hard time holding still.

Coops curls on the floor, it was kind of hard for me to see.

Doesn't he look so cute?

It was funny we went to show coop his hair and he said he wanted his ugly hair back but when he showed Gunner it he was so excited because it was short like Gunners.

Thank you Kristy for the hair cut. Cooper sure has a lot of people say they like his new hair!

My baby is getting so old!

I need to give a shout out to my hubby Josh! Josh had his 28Th birthday on Wednesday my baby is getting so old! Wednesday was so out of control with Gunner and his heart that his birthday kind of got kicked to the curb. So i just wanted to tell him HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I know that Josh would of rather had me be with Gunner and my parents then trying to celebrate his birthday, but i know he was really looking forward to my cake! ha ha, family joke! I also want to tell Josh thanks so much for taking care of Cooper the house my cleaning job and on top of that working at the hospital and post office. What a man I have he does so much for me and takes such good care of me and Cooper. I'm truly blessed with a great husband!

Update on the Gun Gun! He's doing a little better some days are better than others. He's a tough little guy. Thanks to everyone for the sweet comments, phone calls, thoughts, and prayers my family and I truly appreciate it. I hope this picture doesn't make anyone sick but i decided to post it because my family never gets family pictures and its the first time in a long time that all the family has been together in the same room.
