Happy 2nd Birthday Cohen!!!

I can't believe my little baby just turned 2 years old it's crazy how fast time flies! We have thouroughly enjoyed every second with Cohen! For his birthday we were going to go to seven peaks but of course it got rained out since apparently that's all June is doing lately is raining. So we went to plan B. My mom came down to spend the day with him and we took him over to Jumping Jacks and just let him play around for awhile and of course he was in 7h heaven, I swear every kid just loves those places! They are all so wild when they are there but I sure do love seeing the smile on his face and how happy he is!












Afterwards we came home and took a quick nap because it wore all of us out. However me and my mom made Dallas go to instacare because the night before he at Motorcross he landed on his foot funny and it looks huge and black and blue! The doctor thinks that the plate of tendons on his foot may have got torn. He is having a hard time getting around he just hops everywhere he goes! Once he was done with that, some of our family came down for dinner and to celebrate Cohen's birthday. Here are some of the pictures of Cohen opening his presents. He got alot of fun things from everyone and a huge thank you to them all!
Here Cohen is so funny he would rip just a little piece of wrapping paper and hand it over to Ryker and say here go. He would take forever opening his presents because he just tore little pieces.



This present while he was opening it he hit a button on it so the present started talking and he thought it was pretty funny and just squeeled with delight and then was so happy when he opened it and found out it was Tow Mater!


Cohen and Ryker had so much fun together playing with the car set where Frank chases Lightening McQueen they both loved that toy!
Lately when me and Cohen are outside playing he sees all the boys riding their bikes down the street and he runs up to the street to watch them everytime and you can just see the look in his face like he is wanting to say can I come and ride bikes and it would break my heart cause you could tell he wanted to be a part of that fun so bad. So we decided to finally get him a bike. At first I just wanted a trike but this bike is more like the bikes the boys ride around and he loves it and it's just small enough for him to ride!
This is what happens when we are trying to share! He is definitely two years old now but we are working on the sharing part! Him and Ryker actually did really good they only cried a couple of times but for the most part they played together really well and would show each other how the toys worked it was really cute!

Some of the decorations and the Mickey Mouse cake. I really wanted a toy story cake because Cohen loves Toy Story but nobody sells anything like that so we did Mickey Mouse since we just got back from Disneyland and he loved his cake!

Cohen was having a hard time waiting to blow out his candles he just kept going to blow them and Daddy had to stop him. Finally daddy got it lit and we started singing and he waited patiently and when we were done we said ok you can blow them out now and he sure did!





Then I look over and see this! Everyone started laughing so hard. He wouldn't stick his fingers or hand in it cause he hates to get his hands dirty so he resorted to just putting his face in the cake and eating it!








He loves his chair and lounges around in it just like me and Dad sit on our couches. I am so glad that Cohen had such a fun day! I think he loved everywhere aspect of the day from jumping to opening present and digging into the cake. It was such a great experience to celebrate his birthday. I can't tell you enough how fun it is to have kids and do all the little things that they so much enjoy! I look forward to next year to do this all over! Again thanks to everyone that came and for the presents we love you all very much!

Enjoying Summer time

Yeah summer time is finally here and I just love summer. I love being outdoors playing and swimming. I especially love all the festivities like concerts, parades, carnivals, barbeques, food, fireworks. I just love all the festivities. So here are some of our fun activities. A couple of weeks ago our nephew Dakota had a baseball tournament up here in Lehi so we went to his baseball games and it was so much fun. I love going to little league games the kids are adorable and hilarious. This first picture is of Cohen and Chloe I thought it was precious and was glad Stacy got a picture of it! Cohen loves Chloe, he would call everyone in that family Chloe, which is so funny because he use to say all their names but now he just calls everyone Chloe and then he is saying Stacy now. He cracks me up. He was always yelling Chloe, and when Dakota was playing he would yell go go or one time he put his hands up through the fence and said hug! I love how much he loves his cousin and I love when they get to spend time together they are all so sweet with eachother!

These couple pictures we went to a concert out in Saratoga Springs. We didn't realize how far out there were houses out there it was so far, but it's very nice out there. Where the concert was held was nice at all. It was my first outdoor concert and it was nice to just lay on a blanket and listen to the music and eat scones! At the end they did a firework show that was superb but it was so cold!


This past weekend was motorcross friday. Dallas had his race there and this year he is on a new bike but he still did pretty good especially considering he wrecked last weekend in practice and really hurt his ribs! It was fun to go and watch him since I haven't been able to go this year and see him practice and this was his first race. I don't have many pictures because I was recording it instead and then when I stopped recording he was done so I pulled up a picture from last year. But this year he is on a red bike, hopefully next time I can get a couple more pictures and hopefully it wont get rained out either! The second race got rained out. Cohen absolutely loves going he loves watching all the bikes and of course he just loves being there with his Daddy!




Here we went to the parade in Springville and it was alot of fun. Last year Cohen didn't really understand the concept but this year he did much better. However he was much slower and grabbing the candy then the other little kids. I swear kids can be so brutal sometimes. But it was fun to watch him stuff his face with what candy he did get! Thanks to Devin and Monica for always inviting us to these fun things. We went to the concert above with them and the parade and I think we have some more fun activities with them to come. So I love hanging out with them cause they always have something fun to do!
