Quick Trip

Carson got his mission call to McAllen, TX and will be entering the MTC on October, 28th. Since he was taking out his endowments and speaking in church this last weekend, we decided we better take a quick trip up to Boise to be a part of the weekend. I really hate that drive, mainly because it is hard for my two toddlers to be in the car that long and to come home so quickly. But we had a great time and made the most of the short time we were there.

Kylee and Cannon both found plenty of things to keep them busy and entertained at Grandma Cosper's. Cannon loved playing with Grandma's organ. Maybe I should get him into some lessons?

And of course both Kylee and Cannon LOVED playing with their cousins.

They ran around crazy...

Played soccer...
played football...

and just had a really good time.

I love this picture of Kylee and Curtis.

We also got to spend a few hours at Aunt Leslee's house while we were there.

Kylee LOVED helping her make bread sticks for dinner,

and Cannon and Aren had a lot of fun playing together.

It was a very short trip, but it was very nice to see family.

Just TOO Cute

Now that I am FINALLY getting back on my feet...I am LOVING playing with my kids. They crack me up (and drive me crazy) but man are they SO CUTE!!! They are both growing up way too quick for my liking, and I feel like I've missed out on so much. I'm really trying not to focus on that though and just enjoy every moment we have.

Kylee would spend every moment of the day riding her bike or being outside. Sadly the weather is getting SO COLD, but we've still had a few very nice days and are really enjoying the fall.

Cannon is one of the sweetest little boys I have ever met.
He is so polite and almost always happy.
He is talking so much and I just can't get enough of him.

Kylee's new favorite thing to do when I try to take a picture is pull the funniest face she can. (I hate this pic of me, but look at her cute cheesy grin). Could that face get any cheesier?

Yep..there's another silly face.

And another.

I'm not sure where she gets it from...

maybe from DAD?

He likes to pull faces too and is still the biggest kid in our family.

I am grateful for him though. He is my only friend it feels like some days.

Again...he is even sweeter in person then he looks.

He was telling me about playing with the pots and pans with Kylee.

As you can tell, he was pretty excited.

Again, so cheesy but so darn cute.

I can't help but be happy when they are so happy.

I wish I could have as much energy and love for life as they do, but they do keep me going every day and I really feel blessed for such wonderful spirits in my life.

RISE and SHOUT!!!

This past weekend was awesome. Cody decided he wanted to hang out with his girlfriend instead of going to the BYU vs. USU game with the rest of the boys...so I got to take his place and go to the game. I haven't been to a game for a really long time. When I was younger we actually lived in Provo and would go a lot, so it was nice to be there with my family and reminisce.

Traffic down there was absolutely HORRIBLE. What normally takes an hour took 3, but we found ways to entertain ourselves. It was going to be a cold night, so we had lots of blankets and jackets to keep us warm.

GO COUGARS!!!
Cheering on the Cougars.

Enjoying time with my handsome hubby...

and my handsome Daddy.

It was a great night and we didn't even get very cold.

Cougars WON of course!
