Coopers Kindergarten Graduation May 2010

My little Cooper is getting so big! He is such a good boy and we are so proud of him. I can't believe that he is such a good reader and can spell so well! He is awesome!

Me and Cooper!

He was so excited to graduate from Kindergarten!

Cooper and Maddy

Flint and Cooper!

As soon as graduation was over we headed for the mountains in Prescott. We had a great time.

It ended up being the last time that we used out travel trailer. So sad that

we sold it!

Cooper cried. Flint promised him we would buy another one soon!

Roasting Mallows was Arlee's favorite thing! She ate SIX of them!

Arlee with her bruised head. She fell out of the camper trailer door!

It was horrible!

I love her messy face! She loved her chili dog for dinner!

Spring Break and Amazing Jakes!

I know, I know, I'm like 5 months behind! So here we go...be ready for a TON of pictures!

I'm gonna get all caught up before this baby gets here and all heck breaks loose! haha

THE CABIN

We went to my parents cabin for Cooper's spring break. It was a ton of fun! Wendy, Jason and kids went too! It was so nice to sit back a relax for a few days. While we were there my niece Lindsey came and hung out with us for 2 days and Dale and Amanda and kids came for a day trip. It was so much fun. Cooper was in heaven.

This is Cooper and Arlee in The Redwing's Rhino! Flint wants one soooo bad. I told him when he could pay cash for it! haha. It was so much fun!

Us in the Rhino---poor Arlee she was so cold in it and she hated the wind. We definitely want one with a windshield!

The Redwings with Cooper

Caleb, Cooper and Jacob in the back!

Cooper ate the nasty old snow. He was so excited to see the snow. We really need to take him out of the city more!

Lindsey playing with the kids in the creek. It was soooo cold, but they still got in!

Arlee at the Bingham reunion.

For Christmas Dale and Amanda gave us tickets to Amazing Jakes.

It is one of Flint and Cooper favorite places ( I like it too) We had a great ol time. Arlee even had fun.

Cooper climbing the rock wall.

Arlee eating her 1st ice cream cone...she started from the bottom! Never a good idea!

We played mini golf. Flint won...of course!

I love this WOMAN! She is awesome!

Sad, but sometimes this video is so true! I saw this video on Pam's facebook today and had a great laugh...I just wanted to share it with all you other moms that are as tired as I am tonight!!!

Its a BOY!!!

I had the ultrasound a few weeks ago...and found out that we are gonna have a BOY! We sent out mass texts and put it on facebook, and now I'm just getting around to blogging about it! We are so excited! Cooper is so happy. Everyday he tells me something that he is going to teach him...SCARY! Not really. Cooper is a great big brother to Arlee. He is so great with her. He tells us she ADORES him! My response is always "OF COURSE!" and she does love him! I am so blessed with great kids and a super husband!

Here is a picture of "HIM" we don't know what we are going to name him, names are such a hard thing for me!

Finally Arlee's 1 year pictures!

Flint and Kacey FINALLY took Arlee's 1 year pictures! I LOVE them all! I got the 300 pictures narrowed down to 80! That is still so many that I LOVE! Maybe I could just make an Arlee wall!

Here are a few that I edited real quick!

Did I mention that I am so in LOVE with this girl???

Lovin the weather!

I got this roll recipe from Michelle and it is awesome and so fast to make. You must try these! The are called Lion House Rolls. You can click here for the recipe.
YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY!

We planted a small garden this year. It started like this...

and after Flint hauled in over a TON of dirt...with Cooper helping

It started looking like this...(we had to do an elevated garden here, because the soil is so bad!

Planting squash(several kinds), cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, and green beans

Now we have to just WAIT until we can have some yummy veggies to eat!

The weather has been so beautiful here, we have gone and done something outside EVERYDAY last week. It was so FUN!

This is Cooper and I at Papago park.

This is Flint and Arlee. Flint was scared of these GEESE, as you can tell he is getting ready to turn and run away. I was LAUGHING so hard!

Cooper found this window to sit in where he thought he was safe from the geese!

We hiked...more like walked up to the HOLE IN THE ROCK in Tempe. It was cool to lookout over the entire valley. It was so awesome. Cooper loved the climb all over the rocks.

Cooper...

SO lately Cooper has decided that he doesn't need help saying his bedtime prayers. He does a GREAT job. However sometimes he goes on big tangents (wonder who he gets that from?) It is hilarious sometimes what gets blessed at our house. Tonight was NO exception. This was my most favorite phrase EVER! "and please bless Grandma Haymore that she will obey and do her chores and please bless her that she will eat her vegetables and be reverent at church and bless her that she can remember to choose the right!" I couldn't help it I laughed right out loud. He just kept going on and on and on blessing Grandma Haymore! We love our Grandma!

Cooper is learning to read and loves it! Arlee loves books, so Cooper reads to Arlee pretty much EVERYDAY. It makes me so happy when he is doing something nice for her instead of TEASING her! Who would have thought...5 years apart and they still fight! He is such a good boy!
