Coopers

My sister Camille and her family came down to meet Timothy the weekend after Christmas and stayed through New Years day. Saturday we introduced them to Smashburger and took them to see mermaids at the Silverton before Camille and I went to Les Miserables that evening. The rest of the weekend we relaxed while the cousins played together and loved every second of it. The girls especially loved playing with their american girl dolls, I wish I would have gotten a picture of the the girls with their dolls. The kids also spent a lot of time playing at the park, even though it was cold for us Vegas people. Justin and Kirk loved having some "man time" and Camille and I didn't see much of them all weekend. Sure they were in the same house even helping out with dishes and such but they were always busy talking about manly things, they had  a lot of fun together. And Camille help Timothy every second she could. Everything about them being here was perfect and we had so much fun with them. We can't wait until the next time we get to see you Coopers!

Oh New Years Eve! We wanted to take the kids to see the fireworks but for the life of us we could not wake the little girls up. So I snapped this picture of Timothy. Kirk and Justin took Abby and Jacob while Camille and I stayed home with the sleepy heads

Christmas 2012

We stayed home for Christmas this year. It was quiet and just what we needed with our two week old boy. Enjoy our holiday through a few pictures:

 Chelsey and Cody flew down to see baby Timothy as soon as their finals were over. They didn't wait one second to come see him. It was so fun to show him. They were both so cute with him and demanded that he only be in their arms while they were here (unless he had to eat). We ate yummy food and visited lots. The boys went to the Hobbit and insisted on watching the Lord of the Rings for the rest of the weekend (much to Chelsey and my disappointment). Chelsey and I ventured to Target which it turns out my body wasn't ready for (boo c-sections!). Kirk and the girls took them to the Belligio. They were super great with the girls and took the girls to the store with them. A cashier commented on how cute their kids were and how the girls looked like Cody not really Chelsey (ha ha). Audrey was determined to go home to Logan with them and would not agree to stay home for anything. Not for Christmas, presents, the love of her parents, nursery (her favorite thing), nada...until she decided she better stay home to teach Timothy how to walk. Quite the girl she is. It was so much fun to have them here for 5 days and we can't wait to see them again at spring break!

Watching How I Met Your Mother while Cody sleeps and the girls play on ipad. Timothy is on Chelsey's lap.
