The last few months

OK, so it is no joke that I absolutely suck at blogging. Since I update about every few months, I decided this time I would put everything in one big post. So here you go....
This is Cooper's 1st birthday. He liked his cake, just a little. (May, 19 :)
The cake was a hit. Apparently!

This was everyone who came to celebrate little Coop's B-day. These guys have been so awesome to open their door to us and treat us like family! We love our Oregonians!!

Up the canyon for a little cook out. It was raining of course, but lots of fun!! This pic is so funny to me because Kylee looks like some sort of cartoon character off the Grinch.

Eatin some yummy smores

For Memorial day we drove to Portland and spent a few days with our friends the Teuscher's. It was lots of fun with good food and a trip to the zoo.

DOES LIFE GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS??? Picture this....A beach, friends, free food, and no kids. Yep, it sounds like a dream to good to be true. Jeremy and his partner were top salesman of the year and were awarded a free, all expense trip to Amelia Islands. So we dropped the kiddo off with my mom and set sail. Kylee loved playing with her Nana all weekend long, and Jeremy and I enjoyed every minute we got to spend with each other. Thanks mom for helping take care of Kylee! Way to go Jer, we are so proud of you and all your amazing accomplishments!!

Enjoying some pool time with our friends Lane and Erin. Smoothie anyone??

Each afternoon the sun would disappear and these scary black clouds would roll in. Very romantic. Yeah I know...Bow chic a bow wow. J/K

And if all this was not enough, we had the opportunity to go with our friends and go horse back ridding along the beach. Help yourself!!

Best Mother's Day EVER!

So Jeremy decided that the best thing he could do for me on Mother's day was to send me away from the child. BRILLIANT! We had a free flight that needed to be used up so lucky me got to fly to Vegas and spend the weekend in Lake Havasu with the fam. I was so scared to be away from Kylee considering this would be the first time away from her in 2.5 years. I know. Way to freaking long!!It appeared that I had no problem being away whatsoever. :) Who knew??

So this is basically what I did for two straight days. TRULY AMAZING!!!


My step dad, mom, and bro spent the weekend with me. Thanks for everything!! I should also give a shout out to Jeremy who planned this trip and supported me! You are the greatest! Thanks for all that you do!

Please Don't Report Me

So after trying to pull weeds and keep an eye on the turbo two year old Jeremy and I came up with an idea that would help us get our work done more efficiently. GENIUS!!

Hide the Dress!

So my momma sent Kylee this beautiful Easter dress a few weeks before the blessed event. Needless to say this is the ONLY thing that she wants to wear. Everyday she blurts out "princess dress, princess dress." She loves wearing the dress and being a 'princess' Thanks momma for always spoiling our little munchkin!

Quick Road Trip

We decided to venture down to Utah for the weekend to hear my little Bro give his farewell talk.
I used to go crazy sitting in a car but the roads here in Oregon are absolutely amazing! Too bad that we only see the beautiful trees for 3 hours, the last 10 hours are full of sage brush and scary looking people.

Kylee watching the boob tube with Grandpa. Amazing! Kylee sat still for a good five minutes and actually watched TV! Wa hoo....I am hoping that by age 3 she might be able to watch 30min. of TV. Wow, that makes me sound like such a good mom. NOT.
A little shin dig to let Jordy know how much he will be missed!

Bye Bye Jordy!

So my little bro has decided to go on a mission. He has been called to the Washington mission. He struggled A LOT at the MTC but has now been out in the field for a little over a month and is loving it. I am so proud of all the young men and women who go on a mission. I can not imagine watching all 10hours of conference ( or is it more??), reading scriptures at 5:00am, having no i-pod or cell phone, and wearing a dress EVERYDAY. Obviously I am undoubtedly one of the best Mormons! :)

I am truly amazed at the faith of these youngsters and the support of the parents! Way to go Jordy!! We miss you and are so proud of you!!

Smack Down Time

So Jeremy was able to play in a basketball tournment and took 1st!

Sadly to say....this was the end result. Someone is getting a little bit older. ;)
