Lets Rocket!

For family night, we bought a rocket and took it the desert by our house to launch it.

Brady was with us when we bought it so he kept calling it his rocket, until he saw the fire come out of it and then of course he was afraid!

Brooklyn insisted on bringing her umbrella so she wouldn't get hit by anything. It was a coincidence that it matched her outfit

Cooper was happy hanging out in the car, for a while. I put him in the big boy seat to try and distract him but it only worked for maybe five mins. So I would say it didn't work at all. I can't believe how big he is! 7 months today!

High School Musical The Ice Tour!

I took Brooklyn to Disney on Ice last night, and we had so much fun!

We took Grandma too, she has a crush on Troy!

Brooklyn's favorite is Gabriella, But relates well to Sharpay!

Guess where we went today?

Brooklyn's school had a field trip to Anderson Dairy today! It was so much fun seeing the big machines and meeting the animals.

The kids all crowded the window to see...

...but not Brady, he waited patiently in the back to have all the room he needed to enjoy it. :)

The animals were really cute, but for some reason b dizzle was very afraid!
(all of the kids were a little scared by the fog and the storm noises near the penguins)

Cooper was happy as usual and we all enjoyed some ice cream at the end of the tour. Thanks Anderson Dairy!!!

We had a great Christmas, Starting with Christmas Eve!
We had yummy treats!
Saw Santa, this time the true Brady came out.

Opened our Christmas Pajamas

And Christmas morning woke up to lots of surprises, some great some not so much!
Brookie got her Pony roller coaster, "Santa loves me!"
Brady got a really fun fire engine that he's not so sure about.
Mommy woke up with the flu, gross i know!
And Daddy woke up to find his car and seven others in the neighborhood got broken into! Lucky us! They stole his sunglasses, and a pair of shoes, and my video camera with the bag, including our tape of Cooper in the hospital, his first bath and who knows what else. The jerks also stole my really fun Flip video, I am mostly sad about the tape of coop, You just cant replace it! :( So the police came and CSI and did a really good job collecting evidence,(they left blood in the car, and fingerprints everywhere, the idiots) Hopefully they are in the system! The girls had fun taking the officers a little treat, it probably isn't the most fun working on Christmas! I hope all your Christmas's were as good as mine!

It's that time again!
Cooper had his SIX month check up, I can't believe he is already that big, time flies! This tiny sumo is 19.6 lbs and 27 inches long. He stayed in the same percentile as he was at 4 months for weight, 80th. But for height he has slowed down a little he only grew 2 inches so it moves him to the 40th. He is sitting up like a pro and he loves to babble and blow raspberry's. He is a very cuddly and such a sweet little guy to be around. We are so blessed to have him in our family!

We had so much fun at Josh's party. Thank You Kris and Lloyd for hosting and for the amazing dinner, and thank you to everyone who brought gifts, (you really didn't need to do that) but thank you! We love you all!
