I am so happy Kooper is home I missed him so much. I know I am a little out of control with all the pictures. I take a bunch of pictures and think they are all cute so I must share. I have always clapped whehever Kooper did something good. I guess he picked it up becuase he claps all the time. He has 6 teeth now 4 on top 2 on bottom. I feel like he is constantly teething, probably because he is. Mike and I both have a lot of stress with our work. We can't wait for the holidays. I love fall we get to celebrate our anniversary, and my birthday, not to mention Halloween and Thanksgiving. can't wait!
I am finally home. I went on a work retreat to Bogus Basin which is a ski resort above Boise. I left Kooper with Annette in Twin Falls, ID while she was visiting her parents and brother. Kooper played with Cousins, great grandma and grandpa for a few days while I was away. I missed him way to much and was so glad to see him. Annette and I flew out of Twin falls and into met Mike in Salt Lake friday night.
Mike and his dad went to BYU football game on Saturday. One of the pictures is of Mike in his BYU outfit with Koop. We went shopping and Kooper got the cutest new hat. It is starting to get cold in Idaho and he needed one to protect his bald head.
Mike and I flew home and left Kooper with Grandma in Salt Lake. I'm so emotional today and can't wait to have my baby back on Wednesday morning. Mike is flying down to Salt Lake Tuesday, for a Managers Mtg and a concert that evening. I'm stuck at home doing a work training.
I found my camera! It was at the very bottom of my diaper bag. I guess I should clean that thing out a little more often. I found it right after Jenna and Adam left. They came down and stayed the night Friday night. This weekend was one of the most relaxing weekend I have had in a while. It rained so it was too wet to work outside and we had nowhere to go. Kooper was a little tired on Saturday after we had Lunch with Jenna and Adam and passed out on the floor.
I started to refinish my china hutch, while sanding it I recieved the worst splinter under my thumb nail. Mike had to play doctor and pull it out. I was in so much pain that I made myself sick, I slept for 4 hours.
On Friday we went to the Blackfoot fair, with Jenna & Adam. I am so sad I forgot to take pictures, I was so excited to take pictures of Kooper with the animals and I forgot. We also need some good pictures of Kooper with Aunt Jenna, and Uncle Adam. They are coming over to Rexburg this next weekend so I will have to get some then.
Saturday I went to a yardsale for the Family Crisis Center for half the day and then Mike and I worked on the yard. He spread dirt around to mound up all the flower beds, And I planted. I didn't finish so I guess today after work will be more yard work. It is hard to see the little Japanese Maple and black grass I planted in the front. Hopefully next spring everything will look great. If anyone has any great ideas for plants in the front, I would love some advice. I love everything I have planted right now but it needs more.
Kooper turns in circles on his butt and tries to reach for everything, as well as tries to pull him self up on everything. He has had no success, but somehow figures out how to move to what he wants. If it is too far out of reach he gets so upset. I just keep telling him learn to crawl and you won't get so upset, I guess it's not sinking in yet.
I also posted an amazingly disgusting picture of Kooper with Drool, snot and spit up all over him. Aww! what a cute kid.
While I was in Salt Lake last weekend I bought these pots and plastic plants. I fell in love with these pots and had to have them. Last night I finally put them together. I have rearranged my ledgein my living room a few times since I took these pictures. It makes such a difference to have something on my ledge.
Koops' nursery at work is a disaster. He loves to sit in the middle of the mess and grab for as many toys as possible. I have to say the mess was not made by Kooper he just enjoys it. My Co-worker Alan has twin 2 year olds that come by to visist him often. Kooper loves other kids. I'm a little sad he doesn't have any siblings to play with, but not sad enough I am ready to have another one.
I'm on call with the Crisis Line this week and recieved a call at 10pm . I guess it was just one of those nights, I was out until 3am. I put 150 miles on my car last night just driving around. I love responding to calls but I am Physically and emotional drained. When I could finally crawl into bed Kooper woke up crying and Mike had the early shift at work which meant no sleeping in. Every once in a while these kinds of nights happen and I am so glad when they are over.
Kooper can finally hold his bottle. Yeah! Don't worry I still try to hold him while he is eatting. It is nice to have a break from work and just hold him. Yesterday was a 13 hour work day and today I am feeling it. I am so tired, and relieved the first training is over.
I forgot to take pictures this weekend, So I took some this morning. Before we left for work Kooper played with his new toys from Grandma Annette. They are learning toys that teach him words. He wil be saying "Mama" in no time.
Like always it was so much fun to go to Salt Lake. We should be going down more often this fall, if that is even possible. Mike and his dad are going to some BYU football games. I came home from Salt Lake with so many projects to work on. We brought back a truck load of trees and plants, Paint to refinish and old china hutch and, plants for my living room ledge. As I finish Each project I will be sure to take a picture. Beauty and the beast was so good. It was in a round theature, which made it unique. I did a lot of shopping and Kooper Scored for clothes this fall.
Last Night Mike and I Went and did sealings at the temple. It was our first time since we were sealed. We had a great time. We went with our ward it was fun to get to know them better.
Meegan was so great and watched Kooper for us. He had a great time being entertained by Keaton, Meegans 4 year old son. Meegan took some photos of Kooper that turned out sooo good. The one of just his face is my favorite. When we came to pick him up it was so cute Keaton asked, "Can I watch Kooper again sometime?" I thought it was great Keaton enjoyed Kooper as much as I'm sure Kooper Loved playing with Keaton.
We are going down to Salt Lake this weekend. Annette got all us girls some tickets to go and see Beauty and the Beast. Can't wait to go and be with family.
