Easter Pictures and More Cousins!

On Sunday, we decided to let Cohen wear his new Easter outfit to church. I figured I better get the pictures before church instead of after. He doesn't stay clean very long now days and I don't know if that is ever going to change!

I know I am in for trouble after looking at these two pictures! Cohen loves to scream wherever he is!

Our handsome little man

I love how blue his eyes look in this picture!

Cohen got his first girl cousin on the Nelson side. Lilly was born on Friday. As you can tell from the pictures below, Cohen was thrilled to meet her! She is so adorable with her little chubby cheeks! Cohen was actually really sweet to her and gave her kisses most of the time!

Cohen with his new cousins Nolan and Lilly. He wasn't too thrilled to be holding two "babies".

This past weekend, all the Nelson girls went to Legally Blonde. It was a fun musical that I would recommend to anyone that likes the movie. The music was fantastic and the singing was amazing! After seeing Wicked last April, I love going to musicals. Hopefully, we can continue this tradition next year.

Sunshine Tournament

Last week was officially Cohen's first Sunshine Tournament of many to come. I will admit it wasn't quite as relaxing as years past, but it was definitely a memorable one with Cohen. Having a little boy this year changed our routine. Our days were filled with ball games, naps, and food. I got very little shopping in which was disappointing to me. I enjoy the outlets just about as much as the ball games! One of the many adventures we had during our vacation happened when Cohen lost his baseball bat. His bat is one of his favorite toys, and we rarely go anywhere without it. Tyler had to leave the baseball game to hunt it down. Luckily, he found it at Christensen's Clothing Store where Cohen apparently dropped it. Our little boy was thrilled when he saw his bat. Cohen is lucky he has such a great dad to find his bat! After finding the bat, the rest of the weekend went smoothly. The Spanish Fork Dons played well and won the tournament for the 6th year in a row. We are excited for the next few Sunshine Tournaments to come. Tyler's brother Brock will be playing in them in no time as long as he learns to slide!

Doesn't Cohen look so cute in those glasses!

Trouble...with a Capital "T"

Believe it or not, but our last few weeks have been crazy with Cohen. In a matter of days he went from diving to crawling and he is TROUBLE! I can't even believe the terror he causes now. Cohen can be the sweetest boy, but it is like he has used the last nine months to find all the places he can destroy. A broken clock, slobbered on mirror, a goose egg and a 911 call are just some of the things to come with him. You can't leave him alone a minute or you will find him terrorizing some part of the house. He has recently learned to stand up in his crib. Needless to say, his crib is now lowered to the bottom. I wonder how long until he figures out how to break out? Hopefully not soon or we can add broken arm to his list of things to come. Besides taking over my clean house, he also won't get dressed. Cohen is at a very uncooperative age right now. It is not uncommon to find him naked, crawling where ever he pleases. His favorite place to play is on my wood floor where he can bang any object as hard as he can. I think we know who runs this household and it isn't the people that clean it!

Lately, the brightest parts to my week are Tuesdays which has turned into Lost night. We started watching Lost at our house with some family members and three of us has now grown to 8 and counting. It is seriously so much fun to watch Lost with others. We play with Cohen and Nolan, eat dinner, put babies to bed, and enjoy a night of speculation over the latest Lost events. I am sad that this is the last season and we only have a few months to enjoy our parties.

Cohen deciding he didn't won't to hold still for a picture with Nolan.

This week my school had Dad's and Doughnuts. Our principal asked the teachers to come up and help out at the event. I decided to take Cohen to his first Dad's and Doughnuts, without his Dad, and supervise the students. It is a fun event where the Dad's read with their kids for the first 30 minutes and then spend the last part enjoying a doughnut with them. Cohen was able to hang out with my friend Tracy's little boy Riley and read his favorite book Baby Faces. Tracy and I joke how next year these two are going to be trouble together. I have a hard time seeing sweet little Riley getting into trouble, but I guess that is what I thought about Cohen when he was a baby. Little did I know.

My favorite time of year has arrived! It is time to put away my winter gear and get into my capris! I love the spring and watching baseball/softball games. Today was the SF Dons Baseball teams opening game. Cohen hasn't been to a Dons game since he was four days old so I thought it was time to take him! He loved being outside and watching everyone around him. Grandma Pat helped him stand up and I can't believe how big he looks. Pretty soon he is going to be walking instead of crawling. My baby Cohen is turning into a little boy. Don't you just love the cute SF Baseball jacket he has on? Too bad the SF hat he has is way too big to wear.

I know Cohey is trouble, but I love my little guy. I look at his wild and crazy pictures and laugh every time. My favorite thing Cohen does right now happens every morning. I wake up to "Mom...Mom...Mom" or "Dad...Dad...Dad." He repeats this until one of us comes and gets him. I can't help, but smile every morning he does this even when I really, really want to sleep in!
