Sledding, Body Worlds and more sledding!
On Tuesday we took Cohen sledding for the first time!
My dad was here visiting from Colorado. We had so much fun with him while he stayed with us! Thanks for coming out dad!
Cohen loved it and even went on his own! He did awesome! I think he was really happy to be outside rather than cooped up inside.
*************************************************************************************On Wednesday we went to Body Worlds with Jen and Carter.
It was so fascinating to us and I wasn't grossed out at all like I thought I would have been. It is so so amazing to see bodies preserved through plastination! It was incredible and interesting to see the muscles, tendons, arteries, organs, bones, etc in a learning setting that has its own reverence and shows the realism of what our bodies are. I can picture everything inside my leg in its place (and most of my body) and it makes me even more interested in the medical field.
It ends Sunday if you wanna go! Don't miss it, it's worth the money!
They are open 24 hours straight until then!

We went sledding again today at Rock Canyon Park.

Scott getting Cohen all set to go on his own!
He FLEW down the hill!
Even though he took several spills along the way, he wanted to do it again and again!
I was so proud of him! He was more brave than I was!
He is going to be up there snowboarding with Scott before I know it!
He loved it so much, it was hard to get him to leave!

Ringing in the New Year!
We had a great night celebrating the years end and the new beginning of 2009! Jen and Carter invited us over for an awesome dinner! Jen did a great job making Alfredo pasta, french bread and authentic Olive Garden salad (my fave)! Chris and Ashley came too, along with some of their other friends.
We had tons of fun spending some time with them, like we always do!
Cohen just loved Dylan's bedroom and had so much fun sitting in his chair and jumping on his toddler bed (Cohen still has the bar up on his crib). He thought it was so fun to be able to climb up into bed on his own, and to get off! (Crazy haired child!)
After dinner we dropped Cohen off to my sister Chantelle who was sweet enough to keep him while we went to a movie!We met up with Scott's cousin Ashley and her husband Regan. We love them and don't hang out with them enough! My mom, Kay and Dustin came as well! We saw Valkery, which wasn't the most uplifting New Years start, but was a really good movie and it made me think about how much has happened in our history that is so incredible. We truly have so much to be thankful for and countless people to be thankful to.
After the movie my brother Dustin, Scott and I went back to our house to put Cohen down and to ring in the New Year with Chantelle and her adorable kiddies Kaden and Desi.It was a fun night with family and friends! A great ending and beginning!
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYBODY!

Cohen and Charly
Today I kept my friend Ashley's little girl for her while she worked. Cohen and I had so much fun with Charly (who is 2 and a half). She is so cute and kept saying the funniest things! She and Cohen played pretty well together, which is hard to find a playmate at this age where it is hard to share! They had so much fun taking turns on Cohen's new bouncing Zebra.
Charly loved the dogs and threw the ball for them at least thirty times! They loved her too! She kept saying, "Oh man, puppies scary! Oh man!" and then laughing!
Cohen got in on the ball action as well!
We are happy to have Charly come and play anytime Ash! :)Monday, December 29, 2008
Christmas Activites!
The week before Christmas, my mom, two sisters, brother, my niece and I all went to the movies together. We saw Twilight (yes, it was my third time, so?) and had so much fun! I was surprised that my brother even liked it and my mom who hadn't read the book, really loved it!
We started out Christmas Eve just like any other year... with playing nude in the bathroom sink! Oh, wait, we never have done this before and I don't plan on making this a tradition. But Cohen does LOVE it!
We went over to my mom's to spend the day cooking in preparation for Christmas Eve dinner!

Here are the boys on my side of the family, all in their jammies!

Christmas Morning!
Christmas Morning!We slept at my mom's house on Christmas Eve and had so much fun opening all our presents with my mom and brother the next morning! We took a break in the middle of unwrapping gifts and made breakfast! German pancakes and bacon, soooo YUMMY!
Cohen was so lucky to get so many fun toys, books, movies and clothes! Here he is playing with his learning kitchen/living room!
His favorite toy was his Backyardigans chair!
We got the dogs some treats and Lilly a bed, since she didn't have one yet, but she still climbed into Izzy's bed!
We spent the rest of Christmas Day with Scott's family playing guitar hero and hanging out! We had so much fun with his parents and sister while they were here! We were sad to see them go back to California!

What a Year 2008 has been!
I was just sitting here thinking about how long this year has seemed! I didn't get a Christmas Card out so I thought I would write a recap of our year on here!
January started out great with Scott's hard work paying off by becoming a general contractor and starting his own company Landmark General Contracting! I had gone back to work for my mom helping her run her company after Cohen was born and was really excited to be a full time stay at home mom from this point on! I was sad to leave a job I enjoyed, but so excited to be able to give my full attention to the baby I had wanted so badly and waited so long for! Cohen was already six months old and growing fast!
February looked pretty uneventful as far as my blog posts went, but I am sure we had some exciting events that took place and I just can't remember... I am sure Scott was busy working and I was still getting up a couple times a night with Cohen and my days were filled with keeping Cohen fed, changed and happy! Which at times, well most of the time, is exhausting!
In March, we had fun having a bonfire up the canyon and roasting marshmallows with Cohen and celebrating his first Easter!
In April, Oprah's show on puppy mills inspired me to adopted a dog from an animal shelter. After research and only a couple days of searching we found our little Lilly and added her to our family! Cohen and Izzy were "thrilled". She has turned out to be a great dog and we are so happy to have her! Cohen also turned ten months old and FINALLY started sleeping ALL THE WAY through the night (10 hours), then became sick and abruptly ended that! He was also busy doing the "Cohen Shuffle" at this point. Scott also turned 27 at the beginning of the month!
In May, Cohen got moving and cruising with crawling and walking while holding on to his toy! I took Cohen swimming for the first time and Scott was looking into a new venture with property preservation. Cohen was waking up extremely early every morning, but was sleeping straight through the night. It was a great month and I was really enjoying being a mommy! I also celebrated my first Mother's Day!
In June, we celebrated Cohen's 1st Birthday where we had a big bug themed party at the park! He also had his first hair cut and was weaned this month. We took a trip to the Ranch in Capital Reef for Memorial Day weekend too! At the end of June I was so excited to find out I was pregnant again! We also welcomed Scott's sister's fourth baby girl into the family at the end of the month!
July brought celebration with the 4th of July and my first 5k and sadness with our 4th miscarriage. We were so excited to be pregnant with the thought of having a new baby the first of March, but things ended around the 7th week. Cohen also started walking and talking this month!
In August, we took Cohen on our first family camping trip and had so much fun! I also finished the Twilight series and loved it!
In September, I took Cohen boating on Deer Creek, we got our new (new to us) Pilot, we landscaped our front yard and we took Cohen on his first trip to the Zoo!
In October, spent some time up Nebo canyon and took another trip to the Ranch enjoying Conference weekend! I found out I was pregnant and spent most of October staying down a lot and crossing my fingers and toes. I turned 25 and Scott and I went away for the a night to Park City without Cohen for the first time. We celebrated Halloween with my family, Cohen dressed up as a little blue monster!
November was hard... we lost our baby, fifth miscarriage, even after seeing the heartbeat and that everything was fine on ultrasound just two weeks before. I met with my OBGYN, no answers. Looked into a natural hormone replacement clinic and have been doing blood tests that have shown some interesting and hopeful results. Started supplements. Went and saw the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and loved it! We went on a road trip to California for Thanksgiving and had so much fun with Scott's family! We went to the beach a couple times, to Disneyland and of course had Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma Green's!
In December, Scott went to Dallas, Texas to look into a Security System Company (keeping his options open with this crazy economy). We had fun enjoying the Christmas season by looking at Christmas lights and spending lots of time with our family and friends! Cohen turned 18 months and is a sweet, sensitive little boy that loves to scream and push the limits! We spend Christmas Eve at my mom's and slept over! Christmas this year with Cohen was so magical and he got spoiled! We spent lots of time with Scott's family as well while they were here visiting and staying with his sister Michelle! We loved playing Guitar Hero and going to movies with them! December was a wonderful month and a great way to end the year!
We look forward to what 2009 holds! We have many hopes and possibilities for this coming year! Whatever happens we just hope that we are lucky enough to spend lots of time with our loved ones creating memories like we did this past year. I am sure we will have trials and many blessings ahead and I look forward to our life!
