2 Months

Cohen turned 2 months old on the 12th of January. How did that happen? I can't believe how quickly that has gone and how much he has grown. Someone needs to tell him to stay little forever. I sure love my little Cohen, he has been such a joy. At his two month check up he weighed 11 pounds 14 ounces and was 24" long. He wasted no time growing from his small 6 pound size 2 months ago. He still spits up all the time. It is usually at the perfect moments too, like when I just put him in his car seat.... Or when I put on a clean shirt for the day, etc. :) We love him even through all of that. And his brothers love him so much too. They are great with him, most of the time. He is well loved. Cam was nice enough to join Cohen with a little tummy time. Co actually loves laying on his tummy. He takes the best naps just like this. All tucked in! So cute Love that face We are enjoying this little guy so much. I only wish I could bundle him up as my little baby forever. Love him!

Cohens Blessing

We blessed Cohen on January 12th. We decided to do it after church in the evening with our family and friends. It was a great night and he looked so cute. We had a giant group of us and it was nice to be able to gather at the church and have plenty of space. Cohen is lucky to have so many people that love him already! Kameron and Bryce The Drapers Bradley Family minus Becky and Terry. We were sad we didn't catch you before you left. Oh and Chris and Maria, we missed you guys! Sisters Love this sister too! And Drollinger Family Love these two! And some pictures of the main man, little Cohen! We got home and I realized we didn't get a picture with just our family. Hello, how did that happen? So we had to snap a few that evening just for memory sake. The boys were already long out of their nice clothes but I love these anyways. So blessed to have all these boys in my life. Love them. And love this man of mine most of all. Lucky girl!

My Christmas Gift

I was super stoked to get my Christmas gift from Lance. It came a few days after Christmas but better late then never. He got me a new lens for my camera. I have been loving trying my luck with it. I am so not good but had fun taking some pictures of Cam with a yummy donut. Can't wait to practice more with this sweet camera! Love this boy! Since we have a Cam theme going on here.....He is potty trained! Yeah! It was a rough 2 days before he finally clicked and caught on but he has been doing great! He was so excited when he went 50 times to fill his marble jar and scored this train he picked out at the store. This kid loves bribes!! So glad that is over with! Yeah Cam!

Snow

We had a few good snowstorms in January. The boys love playing in the snow. They had been begging to build a snowman since the first snowfall. We have some sweet fluffy snow here in Utah which is great but not so great for building a snowman. We finally got a perfect snowman building snow and the boys couldn't wait to put him together. And it was huge! The happy little snowman. It was super fun and they were so happy to have finally done that! We accumulated a pretty good pile of snow in front of our house from shoveling. We picked up a little disc sled and the boys have gone down our make shift hill more times then I can count. They love it and think it is great. I think it is great that they can enjoy sledding right outside my door. :) Weeee.... My favorite was they were helping each other go down. One would hold the sled while the other got on. It was cute. And apparently it is better to sled without your gloves so your hands get freezing cold. True words from Ryland. Crazy boys! They had a fun afternoon doing this. I also hired them out to shovel my driveway! They did pretty good! We are loving all the snow but I won't be sad when spring comes!

Christmas 2013

We got back from Mesquite the day before Christmas Eve. The boys started Christmas Eve morning off playing with their new bath toys Richard gave them. Yep that is some super blue water. It was rather hilarious to watch them try and "shave" though. Fun times. And as per tradition, we got some cookies ready for Santa. My mom had her annual Christmas Eve dinner that we went to as well. Cohen sporting his cute jacket made by Jenny. Love it! And Ryland wasn't at all excited about Santa coming! Ha! We had a delicious dinner and then the kids treated us to a Christmas program. It was cute. Then it was on to presents. The boys were so patient to wait for theirs. Cam loves his new pjs. Abby and little Co Aw....Merry Christmas! New pjs for Ry too Eric and Ry ran the gym forever after gifts. They were having a great time together....please move back! :) We had a great time at Grandmas party and kept the fun rolling when we got home. We left Santa his cookies and picked a spot for the stockings. Thankfully the boys were tired and went to sleep rather quickly. Here is a picture of the magic before the rush of the morning. So exciting! And yep that clock says nearly 1:00 in the morning. And then the fun begins. Good morning! I love Christmas and the boys excitement didn't disappoint. They were so excited when they woke up. Santa nailed it with the train for Cam. He stood there staring at it forever. And Ryland loved his race car track. < Cohen was all smiles Christmas morning. He must have really loved the crib mobile he got! Seriously love my little baby! Lovin the train Ry was super excited when he opened up his nerf gun Cam unwrapped some underwear! As of 3 weeks ago, he is totally potty trained now! Yeah!! Super excited to be done with that one, and super excited to not have 2 kids in diapers anymore! Win, win! Ryland got Cam this firetruck. He was SO happy about that. I am pretty sure that was his favorite toy for next couple weeks. He didn't go anywhere without that little truck. New Books! It didn't take long to get through everything, here is an after shot! We went to Lances dads for Christmas breakfast after our morning. Little Cohen and Nana Nana got Ryland a new mario kart....his last one stopped working a while ago. He couldn't wait to turn it on and play again. He has loved having mario kart to play again. Lance and his Dad Cohen had a busy morning and was catching some zzzs on Nanas couch, out cold! Ry Cam and Maddie enjoying an excellent breakfast We are always sad to have the festivities come to an end. Group picture before we left. And the highlight of our Christmas was getting to skype with Elder Bradley that afternoon. It was so good to hear from him again and he looked great! How could I not get a picture of the skyping moment? Aw....so sad. I did however get a picture of the boys with Grandma and Grandpa. Love how Cohen is just staring at his Grandma! :) It was such a fun Christmas!! I love this holiday and being able to celebrate our Savoirs birth and be with so much family. We are so blessed and had such a great time! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! May you all sleep as well as Cohen while enjoying his new mobile! Love!
