ON THE BLOG AGAIN....

All I can say is... WOW! I believe that our last blog entry was Cooper's 1st birthday. He is now almost 22 months! It would be impossible to tell about all of the things we have been doing since my last post, but I will do my best to catch everyone up!

Mike finished school in New York and we are back in Salt Lake! Yay! Mike is busy working, doing all sorts of things! He is full of ideas and business plans and is putting them all into action! I get to stay home with Cooper, which is the best. Cooper is doing all sorts of fun things! I can't believe how big he is getting! He is like a little sponge and he soaks up everything we say (good and bad!) He is saying so many words (mostly that Mike and I can only understand) and he points out everything he sees that he knows how to say! I love it! It's so fun to teach him new

things and new words and see him remember them!

Some things that we have been up to that come to my mind......We were able to leave Cooper in SLC and go to Washington D.C. for a job interview (which ended up not being a good fit for us), but we were able to visit Mike's mission president and his wife who are serving their 3rd mission at the D.C. Temple. We love them so much and we were able to spend a lot of time with them, playing lots of games of Rook!

Mike's brother Mark ran the Boston Marathon, so we went to watch him run with the Fenton family. Mark did awesome and we were so proud of him! I heart Boston by the way... It's beautiful there!

We rafted the Provo River with our friends Kris and Brooke... We started with four ores and ended with one.

We went to Lagoon with my sister's family. Cooper loved it! The rides would scare him before they even started, but once they started to move he would throw his hand up in the air and say "whoo hoo".

We went on a Fenton Family vacation to California!

Cooper realizing that breakfast is pretty good, and maybe he shouldn't share it...
