Broken claws

I hope this picture doesn't make you sick. Cooper had a bad accident this week at my parents house. Cooper has gotten into this thing about hiding things form josh and I. The other day Josh was in a big hurry to go to a elder quorum meeting so as a good wife i laid out all of his church cloths. As josh was getting ready he couldn't find his tie, i was certain that i had it laid out so we went looking everywhere. Finally i just thought i should ask Cooper so i did. Cooper said with a chuckle, "no i don't know where the tie is." Then as josh went to find another tie to wear Cooper went to his new hiding spot and pulled out the tie. He then said, "I was just kidding." The next day Cooper hid Josh's belt. Cooper thinks he's so clever! This week I've been spending a lot of time at my parents house since Misti is leaving us at the end of this week. I'm going to miss her tons. To make a long story short we were getting ready to leave and i couldn't find my keys. We looked around for a while and then i thought maybe cooper hid them. We asked Cooper he replied, "no but maybe there in the bathroom." But nope they weren't there. So i went outside to look in my car and i guess my little guy followed me he open my parents beautiful wooden brass front door and then said something to me and closed the door and his 3 middle finger got stuck in the door. Cooper let out a scream and lucky my dad WAS right there. We rushed him into the bathroom to see what had happen to his poor tiny fingers. It looked pretty bad so we decided to take him to the doctors just to see if there was any broken fingers or if he needed stitches. The doctor said he was 95% sure one was broken but the X-rays showed no broken bones. Then he was going to stitch up two of the the fingers but cooper just wouldn't hold still. So josh and i have been taking turns cleaning the wounds.

Cooper funny comment, "mom I think my dinosaur claws are broken."

Mom, "yep i think maybe you can't be a dinosaur for a while."

Cooper said, " no, good thing i have my right claw. I hope nothing will eat me."

Where did this kid come from? He makes me smile every day! We also found my keys in the pantry on the floor next to a little plastic bag filled with sand. I wonder who would did that?

Cooperosaur and Ellieosaur

Yes, these cones are from Dairy Queen in Taylor we are sure moving up in the world! Ha ha!
Cooper had so much fun this memorial weekend with his cousin Ellie. They played really well together, i think Ellie got a kick out of Cooper thinking he's a real dinosaur. They both went nuts for the hair monster to bad i didn't get a picture of it. We had a fun time with Ellie's parents Mike and Randa Canter and their new adorable little boy Teagan. Jason and Kristy came to snowflake too and we had a good time hanging out with them, Cooper sure does love his aunt Kristy and uncle Jason and cooper sure put on the dinosaur show for them. Cooper also serenaded them with his made up dinosaur songs. Porter and Domini also came up we had a nice cookout on Monday night and had a fun FHE playing games with each other. It was a nice weekend, we had a fun time with family.

Happy belated birthday Jason! We hope you had a good one!

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?"
