Randomness

Time for a random posts.  This time of year is so fun...school is back in and the weather is nice and kids aren't as bored and random little fun things seem to be more fun.  We have had a couple craft days at the Cosper home.  This day we decided to finger paint.  It was a blast and I loved our creations.  

Just hanging with my BFF's

Picnics in the park are always a hit

Anytime we get this baby we love it.  

She is the dang cutest thing.  

Freaking love that she sucks her thumb.  

This was picture day at school. 

I love these kids more than I can ever explain.

Another "craft" day.  

We made these stepping stones for our flower garden.  

Kids loved doing it and I love having them for memories.

Kylee saw this youtube video showing you how to make homemade slime out of glue.  She really wanted to do it, so we bought some glue and went for it.  

The kids thought it was awesome.  

We made pink, green, blue, and purple and put them in zip lock bags and even months later they love playing with the slime every once in awhile.  

One particular bad day the kids were having a hard time getting along and ended up having a full out fight with each other - with punches being thrown.  I separated them, made them go to their rooms, and told them to give me 5 reasons why what they did was wrong.  I thought their responses were very cute.  

Kylee's is the green marker and Cannon's is the pencil.

Happy birthday to me

I woke up my birthday morning to find Kylee had wrote out HAPPY BIRTHDAY on post-it notes and stuck it to my door.  It was so cute.  I loved it!

Curtis got me 35 roses...one for every year of my life.  I can't believe I'm 35!!!
I honestly wouldn't have it any other way!

My kids made me homemade cards and gifts and they were the sweetest things ever.  I am so lucky to have such amazing and sweet children.  

My friends at work all made me feel extremely loved and special all day long.  My carpool buddies took me to breakfast on the way to work, out to lunch during work, and told everyone we saw it was my birthday.  They are great people and I am so lucky to work with them.  I can do any job as long as they are with me.  

My sweet friend Janina made me my favorite Oreo cupcakes and it was an absolute perfect birthday.  

Curtis and I had a discussion the other day...he asked me if I could go back in time...would I change anything?  I thought about it and decided I absolutely wouldn't change a thing.  I honestly have no regrets in my life and am very proud and happy with who I am and what I've done.  I hope this doesn't sound like bragging...I'm just very content.  I really have a simple life.  I've had a lot of hard times too, lots of challenges and sadness.  In the end though, they have led me to where I am.  At the end of the day I have amazing friends, family, and a great life.  I am blessed and happy.    

November Fun

One day I was sitting in the bathroom - doing my business - when I heard a ton of giggles outside the door.  I look down to see the hands of all my favorite people under the door.  It made me laugh until I cried.  They are the BEST!!!  I'm so glad they are all MINE!

This Girl Is So Damn Cute!!!

We had a great time seeing this movie together as a family.  

My kids BOTH got all 3's (elementary equivalent to an A).  I rewarded them with banana splits.  They are such good kids!!!

I don't say nearly enough about how awesome my husband is on here.  He works SO hard for our family and sacrifices a lot for us.  He is very supportive and an amazing father.  My kids adore him.  He is always willing to do whatever crazy thing I have in my head with me and supports me when I do things without him.  He is a great guy and I am so glad he is mine.  I had the opportunity to get him a very nice set of irons for a very good price, and I had to take it.  The guy deserves them!

So the kids and I made signs for him and surprised him one morning when he came home from working all night.  He was not expecting them, so it was a great surprise for him.  We love you Curtis Dee and are so thankful for all you do for our family!!!

Again...my kids randomly making me laugh so hard.  We were out shopping and this store was missing some mannequins, so my kids stepped right in and gave me their best poses.  I love them so much!!!

This was the only picture I got on Thanksgiving.  

My Grandma is the cutest.  

Random Fun

I named this post Random Fun because honestly I have no idea when some of these things happened.  

American Authors have been coming to Utah for awhile now and we have seen them in every venue they have come to so far. This last time they were the "headliners" and they were awesome.  It was a lot of fun.  They are getting more and more attention and I am sure it will be the last time we see them perform that we will get to actually talk to them after the show.  They are a talented group of guys.  I really love music!!!

How sexy is my boot!!!  Ow! Ow!

We took a trip to Black Island Farms, but this was pretty much the only picture I took.  It was a fun outing although the corn maze took way more time than it should have and was not fun to walk through with my boot and the uneven ground.  

We love our friends the Keller's!!!  They are so much fun to be around.  They really love Roy High Football and we went to lots of games with them this year.  We would do anything with the Keller's.  Everything we do with them is a blast.  I seriously can't say enough about them.  They mean a lot to me and my family.  

 

This girl is HILARIOUS!!!  

Not many people get to see her incredibly cute personality.  

I love her sweet little heart so much!

Randomness

Trying to clean up my pictures on my phone...which means you get a totally random post with lots of pictures.  :)  Let's be honest...you just look at the pictures anyway.

Took a selfie with the tulips one day while I was working downtown.  

Everytime I take a selfie I think...am I too old to take a selfie?  

I am getting old.  

Got this fortune in my cookie and I LOVED it!!!  I need some health to come my way.  Health and happiness go hand in hand.  I'm always amazed at those who have chronic health issues and still find a way to be so happy in life.  It's hard to be happy when you just don't feel well.  

Cannon came to work with me one day when they were doing Kindergarten testing - which meant no school for him.  He was SO good and everyone fell in love with him.  He makes me so proud to be his mom.  

He must have worked hard too because he actually slept the whole way home.  This kid never naps anymore.  

Emilee and Tucker have a way cute house and just built a fire pit in their backyard.  We love to hang out there as often as possible.  

I really love this picture of us.  This dude makes me smile even when I'm feeling bad.  He is so much fun to be around.  I am so glad he is in my life.  

My cute friend Jenn took me on a date night and we painted our little hearts out.  I am NOT creative and NOT crafty.  It's just not my thing at all.  As you can tell from the picture, she's amazing.  She could be a real painter if she really wanted to.  It was still a way fun night though.  I'm really blessed with some awesome friends in my life. 

One day we went to pick Ky up from school and Cannon picked a dandy lion and got down on his knee and said "here you go my lady."  He is the sweetest thing ever.  

We've been golfing a ton.  Helps that there is a coarse right by our house.  We hit balls and the kids even get into it and really enjoy it.  My dream is that we golf together as a family the rest of our lives.  Even when Curtis and I are old he has promised he will always take me down the slopes and to the greens.  :)  

We love to make homemade Italian Creme Sodas.  

It's a special treat I love that I share with my kids.  

Seriously just can't get enough of my kids.  

I love every moment I get to spend with them.  

My Awesome Kids

Yep...you guessed it.  A random post of just how awesome my kids are.  :)  

Cannon has already tried to forge my name on his homework.  We have to sign every page they do and I was surprised to see he had already signed my name for me.  I love that he just wrote "MoM."  It is without a doubt my favorite name to be called.  

One day I came down the stairs to see Kylee's play tent set up right in the middle of our family room instead of the playroom where it usually is.  When I looked inside the tent, I found her doing this.  I asked her what she was doing and she said "I'm trying to find my inner peace."  

She cracks me up!

Cannon got to be the star student at school and made this poster all by himself.  I let him pick what pictures he wanted to put on it and he did all the decorations.  He is such a great kid.  

Did you know that getting good grades can get you free stuff?  My kids both got all A's and got free dinner at Applebee's, free donuts at Krispie Kreme, discounts to Boondock's, and Free miniature golf at Swan Lakes (which we haven't used yet).  I am really proud of these two awesome kiddos.  

Kylee lost her first tooth just before Christmas and her second came out on New Year's Eve.  She is talking funny with her bottom teeth missing.  She told me she looks like a hockey player.  (That's my girl)

I freaking love my kids!!!
