Pictures

 My toothless Cooper....and my not so happy Carson.  My boys hate getting there pictures taken.  Even though the smiles may not be the best I stilled loved how they turned out.  This really is their personalities right now and that is what is captured

 I loved how the boys are just taking her in....Carson still deciding if he likes her.

Little miss getting so big....I hate how fast they grow up.

Halloween 2012

We had a great Halloween this year.  I like when the kids can go trick or treating and not freeze to death.  This year we had a ninja, a cowboy, and a ladybug.

 

 Our chubby little ladybug....don't ya just want to kiss those cheeks.

Makenna's Blessing

I dreamed about this day ever since I found out we were expecting.  I dreamed (stressed) about how the day would go.  The day was perfect.  The dress was perfect, the blessing was perfect, the weather was perfect, and we have the most perfect baby girl.  She did great.  She started getting tired when we were taking pictures, note to self, do those first, but she made it through.  I told Jason to hold on to her, man those dresses are slippery.  Thanks to all those who came and supported us and helped make the day perfect. 

 

 

This is the best picture I have with my parents and Makenna.  They were to worried about looking at her than at the camera.

 

I so loved her dress.  I dressed her up a couple days before making sure everything fit and I brought her downstairs to take a few pictures and Carson said mom, Makenna is a princess.  Those brothers sure love her.

Getting so big

I have tried to keep this girl from growing, but it isn't working.

 

We were able to attend the open house at the Brigham City temple.  Families are forever.

Sweetness

This picture is a little fuzy, but I couldn't resist.  Those first smiles are hard to get captured.  Almost 3 weeks old.  This little girl has melted our hearts.  She only has been on this earth a short time, but feels like she has been with us forever.  I may not know what sleep is anymore, but sister you are worth it.

1st Grade

I am not sure how we got here so fast.  I thought kindergarten was rough. 1st grade was even tougher.  Cooper wanted to ride the bus this year, so we are trying it out.  It picks up right in front of our house.  Not having to get four people out of the house by 8:15 in the morning makes it kind of worth it.  Cooper keep saying the week before he wasn't ready and didn't want summer to be over, but at back to school night he said it was good to be back.  Carson sure misses him a lot, having Cooper gone all day.  All day school is hard on mom also.  I was trying to fight back the tears until the bus came, but once I got in the house I couldn't hold back anymore. To make things harder Carson woke up and went through the house yelling for Cooper.  We are two days in and he still asks every morning were Cooper is. We love you Cooper and are so proud of you.  You make a very handsome first grader and please stop growing up so fast.

 

Makenna Marie

Our little miss Makenna arrived on Friday August 3rd.  She weighed 8 lbs 4 oz and was 20.5 inches long. Everything went perfect and we even were able to leave to hospital the next day.  Cooper and Carson are doing great with her.  She is so beautiful and such a blessing to our family. We love you so much Makenna, thanks for choosing us!!
