Another one bites the dust!



For those of you that don't know Chad runs a ATV buisness in the summer. He does Guided as well as UnGuided tours. He has had quite the accidents this year. Here is one of the machines after it went off the cliff.

He has had some really serious injuries requiring life flight to come a few times along with search and rescue the other times. It is a rough job. But Chad enjoys it. His mom really wants him to go to school to be and EMT. He really knows how to keep his cool and focus on the injured. He is such a loving and caring person.

He really enjoys his job right now. But hates the commute to Midway everyday and the time away from his family.

She is growing up!

So the other day I went in to check on Karleigh after her nap. She was trying to pull herself up. she was on her knees standing on one foot and just couldn't figure out how to stand on her other one. So I helped her. Then I had to get a picture. I just laugh because she can't even crawl yet. But she is so determined to stand up.




Monday we packed up the trailer and the kids and Chad pulled us up to Camperworld in Coalville. We had a blast. The kids and I spent our day's throwing rocks in the river, swimming,swimming, and more swimming. Our Trailer faced the park so the boys would go play and I could watch them from the trailer. Chad took them fishing and they had a lot of fun, that was until preston got a hook stuck in his thumb. He was done at that point. I tried the next day to take him and we got to the pond we casted twice and he said " mom fishing is boring let's go" . But mom was not ready I tried to get him to stay but he just waved goodbye and ran off. I caught up with him and as we were walking back I had to ask again "do you want to just fish in this river really quick. He said Nooooo! So that was the end. I havn't been fishing since I was 8 months preg. with Preston so I really wanted to fish the river. Oh well next time I guess.

Karleigh loved it. She absolutley loves the pool. She would just start laughing and kicking her legs when she saw me coming toward her with her swimsuit. It was so adorable. She even went right to sleep and slept all night. I was worried being in the trailer and all, but she did great.

Preston kept saying I want to stay here for 580 days. I just kept telling him We'll see. They were not ready to leave but we had to get home. So we are planning to return in a couple of weeks.

Entering the World of Vampires


So I have now entered the world of Vampires. If you know me I love to read. But I am not into the whole Vampire, wherewolf, Harry Potter stuff. I havn't ever read Harry Potter. But everyone has talked about these books and my Sisterinlaw told me I should read it. The other day I though why not. So I started it. I thought it was really stupid until I got halfway into it. Unfortunatly I am hooked. These books are awsome I never knew Vampires were so sexy! Anyway. I am on the second one. I find myself obsessed. How stupid is that. But that is not to hard to do for me.

LAGOON





Yesterday we had a fun day at Lagoon. It is the first time this year. It was Colton's first time and he had a blast. This morning he said goon goon. He can't wait to go back. It is so fun. Preston was a bit nervous at first but soon Colton had him excited to try everything. They were so cute together. Preston even helped lift Colton in to the rides. We finished the night with some huge ice cream cones.

Happy Fathers' Day

Happy Fathers day to all you guys out there. We had a great day. Chad went to church with Preston and I stayed home with Karleigh and Colton. Colton was tired since church fall right during nap time. Karleigh has a cold and So we just hung out. We had a barbeque that night and that always means awsome food.

I just want to tell you all how much I love Chad. He is the greatest Husband and Father. I couldn't ask for a better soul mate. He is always helping me around the house and spending all of his time with his kids, and wife. I love him and appreciate all that he does for us.

I also love my Dad. He is such a spiritual powerhouse to all of us. He has such a strong conviction of the truth of the gospel. And he always holds himself to the highest standard. I only hope to gain such a testimony. I love you Dad!

Sorry no pictures.

So many things not enough time

Well Summer has officially began at the Cooper home. We have been busy having fun. Unfortunatly Chad has been taking my Camera to work and I have only been able to take pictures with my Cell Phone and I have no idea how to get the pictures off of it. So if anyone knows how let me know. I have a motorolla Razor. Anyway. We went last week to Liberty Park for family night. Preston loves that park. Actually I do too. We went to the Treehouse Museum. That is always a hit with my kids. We started swim lessons yesterday which is held mon-thurs for two weeks. The kids are having a blast. Karleigh is getting so big. She wants to do everything that her brothers are doing. Colton was going down the slide at Arctic Circle and So I put her up there and she just grinned ear to ear and loved it. She talks to her dad on the phone which is just adorable. I forget sometimes how big she is and what she is capable of doing. I find myself trying to keep her a baby. But she lets me know she is not. Well if and when I can get the pictures off my phone I will be sure to post some. We hope everyone is doing well.

First Cookie

Cookie anyone. Karleigh's first cookie!



Every time we push colton in the swing he pulls the funniest faces. We try to get them on Camera because it is so funny. Here you can see it a little bit. though it is blurry.




Yesterday I took the boys to Liberty Park at 7pm for family night, Preston loves that park. They had a really fun time.




Today I went to the doctor for my foot. They had to give me a cortisone shot and some antinflamatory's and then he taped it. I hope it helps. I really want to get excersising and I just can't with the pain. So I am hoping this helped. He also told me I need orthotics for my shoes. They are 300.oo a pair. So I better start saving.
