January Randomness

January had it's ups and downs.  

The winter months took a toll on us all and Cannon got the worst pneumonia.  It sucks hard to see your kids hurt in any way.  

I had to go under the knife for a small surgery and was very thankful for the sweet flowers, treats, calls, and all the help I got from so many awesome people.  I am now missing more body parts but am excited to hopefully feel better than I ever have.  

Cannon has loved drawing comic strips lately and he makes up the best stories and has the best imagination.  He reminds me so much of my little brothers.  It makes me smile.  

One random school day I woke up to Kylee already up and ready for the day.  Dressed and everything.  This isn't really an uncommon thing, she is very responsible and is often up and ready before my alarm even goes off.  This particular day Cannon was in my bed because he had woke up in the night, got scared, and came and got in bed with me.  Kylee noticed he wasn't in his bed when she woke up so she decided to make his bed for him and leave him this sweet note.  

I love how thoughtful she is.  It was such a small but sweet gesture.  

Our friends from Kinetic Fitness were so good to us this holiday season that we wanted to make sure we said thank you to them.  

We made the biggest thank you note we could. 

I am so blessed with such great people in my life.  

We loved KFP 3.  

It made us laugh. 

I had to do a makeover of my room.  I love the transformation and am so thankful to J and Scott for their help.  Janina is SO talented and I'm thankful she will share some of that talent and help a lame-o like me out.  

Such a big difference.  More change is coming to the house as I have started painting the halls and am getting new carpet this spring.  It's amazing what a little makeover can do.  

Christmas Day

Christmas was VERY low key this year.  

But it was also VERY awesome

I am always so proud of how appreciative and easy to please my kids are. 

They are just happy, sweet kids and I love being their mom.

They were super good kids this year and were rewarded accordingly

This was definitely the big win at our house.  This game is fun and the whole family enjoys playing it.  

It was an awesome Christmas.  

Christmas Activities

December was a super fun month.  We had a great time getting into the holiday spirit and making lots of memories.  

We make gingerbread houses every year

I am always really impressed with how creative my kids are

I love the little Santa on top of the house.  

My babies are getting so big

I am so thankful to be their mom

We love our HOT CHOCOLATE!!!

I found these cute snow man marshmallows and we loved watching our snowmen "melt"

We also always make and decorate sugar cookies

They are both cute and delicious

We loved Christmas shopping at the mall

And seeing all the lights we could

We went to lots of family parties and it was a great holiday season.  

February Fun

Report cards came out and again I was very happy with my kids and their 3's.  It always amazes me what their teachers say.  Nothing makes me more proud than being their mom.  Kylee especially has grown this year.  I am just so dang proud of them.  We celebrated great grades with a night out.  The kids picked Golden Corral because they LOVE the dessert bar.  It was a great night.  

Part of our Christmas present from our cousins was left in Boise and when we went up there last month we brought it home with us and decided to make it for the grand finale of The Biggest Loser.  Nothing says Biggest Loser finale like a giant Christmas tree sugar cookie.  

Cannon and Kylee are at such fun ages.  Getting their valentines ready this year was a fun experience.  Cannon especially got into the spirit.  He would look at each persons name on his class list and then tell me something about them and then put a lot of thought into which valentine they would get.  It was so fun watching him.  

We have been so excited for this baby to come and SHE IS FINALLY HERE.  They have requested no pictures of her on social media so you will just have to take my word for it...she is the sweetest baby ever and oh so cute!  It was a real honor to be with Emilee when this sweet little girl came into the world.  Em has always been, and will always be, so special to me.  She was there when my first baby came into this world and I was there for her.  

Cutest feet ever!  

I love this lady.  

We love to cheer on WSU in any sport and had a great time at this Boy's Basketball game together.  

This picture makes me laugh.  We were all dressed and ready for church and running late when Cannon decided to poor his own drink and ended up making a huge mess...especially all down the front of him.  He was very nervous to tell me about it and it broke my heart seeing him so worried about how I would react that I couldn't help but laugh it off and take a picture.  He is such a sweet kid.  

January Fun

Kylee lost her 3rd tooth and then just days later lost her 4th tooth.  

She pulled both teeth out all by herself.  

Love that toothless grin.  

Yes we are all fake sleeping but this is how we spend almost every night.  I love these two with all my heart and am so glad they snuggle me and hold me and spend so much time with me.  I am so lucky to be their mom.  

How cute it my family!?!  I am so blessed.

They have been having a Jazz reading contest all month long and Cannon loves that he gets to wear Jazz gear every Friday.  I think he looks so dang cute.  

We took a really quick trip up to Boise over the MLK holiday.  

All the Cosper grandkids together.  

And of course we had to take a silly picture. 

On our way home from Boise Cannon had to go to the bathroom so bad we stopped at the scenic Gorge turn off so he could water a bush. 

Its a very beautiful place. 

We got to babysit baby Julia and it was so much fun.  There was one point of the night when Kylee was holding the baby and I was cooking us dinner.  Julia got a little fussy and Kylee couldn't get her to stop and I had to finish stirring our meal so it didn't burn.  Cannon was just sitting at the counter, not doing a thing to help, and blurts out...GOSH, babysitting is hard.
It made me laugh.  

We got Julia a bottle and she was happy as can be.

It was so cute watching Kylee and Cannon interact with her.

I would have loved to had more siblings for them but am so glad they have baby cousins to play with and enjoy.
