Happy 3rd birthday to Cooper!

We let Cooper pick the activity he wanted to do for his birthday and as you can see he picked snowshoeing. My mom, Kiara, and Tommy's dad joined us for the trip up to South Fork. It was such a beautiful day for snowshoeing and Cooper (along with everyone else) had a blast. Then we had some family over for dinner that night, and don't forget Cooper's baseball cake... the most important part of his birthday, at least in his world.

Fun with our new camera

These pictures were taken just a couple of miles from our house. A frost had come through the night before so all the trees were covered in white. It was such a beautiful morning.

Happy New Years!

What a great year 2008 was. We were able to move into our house at the beginning of the year, which we are so grateful we moved here. We love how beautiful it is, along with being able to get to a grocery store and only have 2 stop signs and a 5 min drive. Tommy has been blessed with a great job that we both really enjoy the amount of time he has at home with me and the boys. Noah started 1st grade and has a wonderful teacher. He is so smart and continues to surprise me with what he's learned, figured out, and wants to know how it works. Cooper has grown so much. Thanks to getting tubes in his ears back in Feb he now sleeps through the night (most of the time) and is starting to talk like crazy. He still has a ways to go, but is making great progress. Plus we have such great family and friends. What a wonderful year. We can only hope 2009 brings as many blessings and wonderful memories.

Here are a few pictures from our New Years Eve extravaganza at our friends (the Willards) house. Food, Friends, and Fun... it doesn't get any better than that.

Swimming with Grandpa Phil

We had a post Christmas party down at my Dad's. The kids enjoyed a fun afternoon of swimming. We had a great dinner followed by the all exciting game playing... it really is exciting playing with Tommy because he cheats so bad and we all love to try and catch him.

Fun in the snow!

Thanks to all the wet heavy snow our trampoline was sagging under all the weight, so we spent an afternoon cleaning it off, which in turn lead to a snowball fight. It's even more exciting when Tommy has the snowball launcher and Noah loves to challenge his dad's throwing ability. Cooper goal was just to see how many times he could jump in a row before he slipped and fell down. Tommy launching snowballs at Noah.

Help I can't get up!
