My Cooper Dooper Super Trooper!


Now this is a REAL BOY!!! Look how dirty he is! When I told him to wash his hands, he was all "but they're not THAT dirty!

Tim and I took Cooper to the park on Saturday to play baseball. We had so much fun that we had to come home and set up the practice cage so he could keep going. (We were a little worn out). He played in the front yard for HOURS!!!

Cooper helped us plant a couple of trees in the backyard. He's a really great hole digger!

Birthday Dinner @ Blue Lemon


Kati, Susan, Al, Rebecca, Emily, Amanda, Corinne, Patty, Kim, me.

Thanks to Susan for having a birthday! We had such a fun time at the new restaurant in Highland ::Blue Lemon:: We have a really fun neighborhood and little did we know that two of these women's husbands would be major players in the ward split on Sunday.
Our ward split (sad) and Amanda's husband is our new first counselor and Kim's husband is the new bishop in the ward we split from. And we were talking about the upcoming split at dinner!

Susan and Al were going to be in other wards so I was texting the new bishoprics to them in Sacrament Meeting. Not the greatest example to Bailey, but I think it was okay this once! It was such a BIG DEAL!!

Josh and Jax


Love this smile!!

This is Jax with his blanket. He likes to put the "Corny" in his ear.

Show me your tongue!

Lone Peak Baseball


One of our customers from Lone Peak Football ordered a sign for her son for Baseball season. I LOVE how these signs turned out. We offer them in 23" and 15" (below).

Friday Play Date


Cooper has every other Friday off of school. We try and do something new. This week we took Micah with us to Backyard Adventures in Draper. They are the company that makes the really expensive wooden playsets. They have a large playset and five different inflatable sets for the kids to play on. The kids had so much fun!! Cooper fell asleep so fast that night.




St. Patrick's Day Eve


Cooper left a note and some treats for the lucky leprechaun who came by our house.

Here are the gold coins and the note that the leprechaun left for Cooper. LUCKY BOY!!

New Cedar Hills WalMart GRAND OPENING!!


There were a TON of really fun activities when the store opened on Wednesday march 18th. Vendors were giving out all kinds of free things. Cooper got to meet Miss Utah 2009.

And he got to make ANYTHING he wanted with a table full of legos. This is his sweet fighter jet.

Cool lego guy

even COOLER lego guy!!

This is the breakroom where I spend 15 minutes every 2 hours or so and 30 minutes every four hours or so...

And these are my comfortable shoes that keep me going on my feet all shift long. Yeah for comfy shoes!!

Fun to Reconnect!


So here is a picture of my very first date with my very best friends! Donny Seamons, Linda Schvaneveldt, me and Byron Winward circa February 1988.

Thanks to Facebook, I was able to reconnect with a bunch of "old" friends. I met Linda for lunch in Salt Lake. Three hours FLEW by and it was just not enough!! So fun!!!!!!

And Byron came down to dinner with his family.

We used to live across the street from one another back in the 80's. My mom and Bonnie used to go walking every morning.

Bonnie and Alma. WONDERFUL people!

Jason and Jake


Jason brought his little brother Jake over the other day. I couldn't help taking a picture. Look how they're both dressed....

Taylor's 19th Birthday


Can't quite believe that Tay is 19! When did this happen?



Naperville Get Together

A few of the kids from Naperville came over last Saturday night. It was so great to see everybody again!!

Justin and Melissa are both from Naperville and got married last summer. Cute!

Maddie is out here going to school and working in an Elementary School.

Laura is student teaching math at Lone Peak high which is interesting because she was randomly assigned a high school and it just happens to be the one that Bailey goes to.

Abby just got back from her mission in Astonia and Lauryn is graduating in a couple of months in idaho and will be joining her husband in San Antonio.

Mac's Birthday Lunch at Thai Siam


Our friend Mac had a birthday lunch at one of our favorite restaurants...Thai Siam. It's this great Thai place in Salt Lake. Fun was had by all....
