Fun Week!!!

I have to go back to school in less than two weeks and am trying to enjoy every day I have with my little guy. This last week we have taken lots of pictures and played as much as we could. I have felt a little guilty when Tyler has came home from work and asked what we did and all I can say is we played and went to my school. It is the end of summer and I have no motivation to cook, clean, and iron. I haven't been the best wife.

While we were in Heber watching Brock play, we saw one of Tyler's favorite players at the ballpark, Greg Maddox. He was watching his son play on a Las Vegas team. Brock was nice enough to get an autograph for Cohen on a baseball. Tyler was able to add the ball to his collection with his signed Chipper Jones bat he got from Gub and Wendi. I thought Tyler would love a picture of Cohen in his Braves outfit with the bat and ball.

This last picture is one I have to post because Tyler and I both looked at it and thought Cohen looked just like Tyler's brother Gub. Most people think Cohen looks like Grandpa Wayne or Tyler, but every once in a while we see Gub in Cohen. What do you think?

Cohen's Blessing

Today Cohen was finally blessed. It feels like we are so late blessing him and we've joked about how he could drive a big wheel up to the circle. Another baby was blessed today and Cohen seemed so much older than this newborn. I am glad we waited until now because more of our family were able to attend. We are so lucky to have both of our families live around here to support us in all that we do.

24th of July

We had a busy week for the 24th. It was full of ball games, parties, and rodeos! Cohen spent most of the weekend at ball games watching Brock play. I couldn't believe how much he enjoyed being outside.

On Saturday, we took Cohen to his first rodeo. He seemed to enjoy being held and looking around. When the clown's car was exploding, Cohen wasn't sure what was going on and kept flipping his head back and forth to see where the noise was coming from.

After long, hot days at the ballpark, Cohen loved coming home and playing in his diaper.

Finally...

After two years, numerous weeds, and one paid city ticket, we finally have grass for Cohen to play on. Thank you to all of our family that helped us lay sod on one of the hottest days of the year.

For Tyler

Slow Down!!!

Time has flew right by this summer. I can't believe Cohen is two months old and I start school in just a few weeks. I need summer to slow down!!! I love being home with Cohen and am not looking forward to going back to work. Don't get me wrong, I love teaching school and I am excited for the adventure of teaching a new grade, but I am not ready for summer to end. Once August rolls around, I know my summer is officially over and I need to get ready to go back to work.

New Friend

The other night Tyler and I were exhausted from laying sod all day and put Cohen in his swing to play. When I walked into the room, I saw Cohen laughing and smiling. He had made a new friend. By looking up in his swing, Cohen discovered he has a friend who looks back at him. This new friend entertained him for almost an hour. I should have spent the time getting things done, but instead I enjoyed watching him interact with the mirror and animals on his swing. It was fun to see Cohen try to reach his hand up to touch the objects above him.

Another friend Cohen enjoys playing with is his Uncle Brock. Brock came over to babysit Baby Cohen for us while we got ready for sod and was so cute with him. When I came in to check on the two boys, Brock had changed his diaper, fed him and burped him. I was quite proud of my 13 year old brother-in-law!

Brock even got Cohen to sleep!
