Decorating Sugar Cookies for Christmas

My Mom & sisters made sugar cookies for Christmas and invited the boys over to help with the decorating. They both had a lot of fun but I think Zach got into the most; probably because Grandpa was helping him.

The First Big Snowfall of the Winter

We got our first real snowfall last night and all the boys wanted to do since the got up this morning was go play in the snow. So after a quick trip to Target for snowboots (mommy wasn't as prepared as I should have been) they got to go out and play for a little while.

They both loved getting rides on the shovel from Ian.

Snow angels were the first things they did. Zach was doing his before I could even get the camera out.

This is what hair after a ski hat looks like.

Our Christmas Card

Ian's brother Jon, came over last Saturday and took some pictures of us for our family Christmas card. The boys where probably the worst they have ever been while taking pictures. I think Jon did an incredible job considering what he had to work with.

It's A Boy

Well it is official. I am to be the mother of BOYS! We went for my first sonogram November 21st and found out the we are having another boy. Zachary was a little disappointed because he wanted a girl but he said that, "It is ok because the next one might be a girl. And if not then we will jut have to have a really big family." I took that to mean that we should keep having kids until one of them is a girl. :)

October 2008

I know that is has been a really long time since I updated our blog. There are several reasons for that; the top two being that there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done & two I am 16 weeks pregnant and am just now coming out of the sick to my stomach & tired all the time stage. I promise to try to do better, but for now here is what we have been up to the last few months.

September 2008

Towards the end of the month, Ian had a long weekend off from work; so we decided to tackle a landscaping project that we had been putting off. Part of this project required having a dump truck load of dirt delivered on our driveway. Needless to say the boys were VERY excited! They spent the next 2 days doing nothing but playing in the dirt pile while Ian carted it to the backyard by the wheelbarrow full. I had to hose them off every night before I could even let them in the house to take a shower. They had tons of fun!!

Grandma & Papa Cooper also came for a visit that same weekend and we all went to pickout pumpkins for the front porch.

August 2008

Ian had a day off and we decided to get out of the house and go to the zoo for the morning.
