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!

Mia Maids and toilet paper!

Did you ever wonder what eight 15 year old could do with a few rolls of toilet paper and some tape...besides "decorate" a house? Well I happen to know a few talented and creative girls. Here is what they came up with. The only instructions that I gave them was that it had to be modest! Thanks Flint for being a great sport and taking some pictures!

Soccer, Birthday, and Ultrasound

Cooper had his 1st soccer game last Saturday. It was pretty funny to watch. I think that it is absolutely hilarious that the name of his team is the TORNADOS! That is EXACTLY what they looked like running down the field. Cooper loves playing and THINKS that he is the greatest player ever! Lets just say that he really needs some practice!

On January 21st was Arlee's 1st birthday! My baby is one! I realized something on her birthday...Why is she the one getting all the presents??? I was the one who delivered her! I now think that MOMS should get a present or two on EVERY child's birthday!

"ITS MY PARTY I"LL CRY IF I WANT TO!"

Arlee and Brittney share the same birthday! We absolutely love our Brittney. She is so fun...and amusing to have around! She has to live near us FOREVER!

My Arlee bug

Right before she tried to grab the burning candle!

She loved the CHOCOLATE cake!

You can't really tell in the picture, but she even had cake in her ear!

I had an ultrasound last week...here is one of the pictures. My FAVORITE part is hearing the heartbeat. It just does something to me...The nurse said "IT" is just less than 3 inches long from head to rump. WOW have we ever got a lot of growing to to do!

Only about 4-5 more weeks until we can find out what "IT" is! This "IT" stuff makes me crazy!
