Why not?


I've have had a myspace page for over a year now and I love checking up with old friends and adding the occasional blog. I figured, why not just start a real blog for our family? So....here we are! I guess first and foremost, I will give a quick overview of our family and what is going on in our crazy lives! We have lived in Boise now for a little over a year and we absolutely love it here. Nathan can't even imagine living anywhere else....(which is crazy coming from my California crazed hubby!) He is an attorney at Moffit, Thomas which is his dream job. His health is awesome. The tumor we found a little over a year ago has diminished in size that it can't even be measured by an MRI. So...things are great!
Just 2 1/2 short months ago, we welcomed our newest little boy to our family. Landon Cooper was born on May 1st! He is such a joy! I just melt every time he smiles! I absolutely love being a mom to boys! I am so very blessed! It's so nice to have a sweet little boy to snuggle with as the other two run around screaming and driving me crazy!

Parker (my 2 1/2 year old) is my stubborn little monkey. He is very curious and gets into mischief all day long. I can't leave him alone for 1 minute. His hobbies and interests include: any kind of sport, hiding in clothes racks each time we go shopping, escaping out the front door every chance he gets, drawing on walls, painting with makeup, and ripping up books. I sure do love him though!
Dallin is so much fun. He is the smartest little boy. He loves to read books and write. He has always had a strong desire to learn and so it's a lot of work keeping him busy. He reads at a 2nd grade level and can already write sentences, and add and subtract double digit numbers. Ok...this kid still can't even go to kindergarten for another year! (he misses the cut off by 20 days) Seriously....I don't' know what to do with him.

Most of my time is spent taking care of all of these boys! Some days are hard and seem to drag on forever but I really try to enjoy each minute. They just grow up so darn fast! I stay very busy keeping this family running. Keeping everyone clean, fed, and entertained takes up the majority of my time! When I do find time for myself, I love to read, shop, spend time with friends, craft (a little), and hang out with Nate.

So...that's us! I think this will a lot easier for me to keep family and friends updated so I am looking forward to becoming a full fledged BLOGGER!!! We'll see how it goes!

I was so happy to find your blog. Congratulations on your new baby boy! Boys are awesome and tons of fun--especially when they are as cute as your little guys. Holy cow, Dallin has grown up! How incredible about his reading and learning. He must get it from his super smart parents!
