Our July 4th!

For the 4th of July we had a really yummy bbq at Kay's house. After we ate we played with bubbles in the backyard. Cohen had so much fun with my mom!


Cohen laughed and laughed and ran back and forth from Scott's arms to the bubbles!



We went to my sisters house and had a great view of the Thanksgiving Point fireworks! Cohen loved the show and had fun with the glow sticks as well! He laid on his tummy next to Kay (Papap) on the blanket and stared at the sky. We got stuck in traffic on the way home so we didn't get home until almost midnight, but it was worth it to see the fireworks and to spend time with family. It was a fun 4th with most everything we love about the holiday included (although we missed the parade because we slept in).

Girls Lunches

When I first got home I got together with some long lost friends that I hadn't seen much since junior high (good old CVJH)! We met up for lunch at Zupas in Provo and had fun talking and catching up.
These girls are awesome and have shown me support throughout the years even though we don't talk that often. Through my miscarriages they offered encouragement and brought gifts when I finally had Cohen's baby shower!
Me, Melissa, Leslee, Michelle and Dallas

A few weeks later I met up with some more of my favorite friends, Ashley and Kristen. We went to Rumbi and had a fun girls afternoon shopping at the mall. We all realized we are true mom's now because we spent almost the entire time in the Disney store shopping for our kids!
(Kristen was getting overtaken by pregnant stomachs in this picture! :))

I am so thankful to have awesome girlfriends to go have fun with!

Wake Boarding on Utah Lake

One evening Scott's cousins, John and Amber, invited us out on their boat for some wake boarding fun! This was Scott's first time and he got up quick and did really well! Cohen and I loved watching him out on the water, but as soon as Scott wiped out Cohen was really concerned and yelled for him. Once he saw he was ok, he calmed down.

We really enjoyed the beautiful weather, soaking in the sun!

Cohen loved the boat! He looks like such a big boy here!

Happy Father's Day Scotty!

On Father's Day we took a walk up Provo Canyon to visit Bridal Veil Falls.
We love doing things like this often, and really missed it while we were in Boston. There is nothing better than a Utah summer!

We had a fun day together being thankful for the amazing father and husband Scott is! We appreciate all his hard work everyday and the love and time he gives to us.
Cohen just adores his daddy and talks about him all day when he is gone. I am so thankful he is the father to my boys, that they have a great example and friend.

Happy Father's Day Scotty! We LOVE LOVE LOVE you!!!

Cohen's 2nd Birthday!

Scott drove the 2500 miles from Boston in 2 and half days to get home in time for Cohen's birthday! He got in the night before so we had the whole weekend to spend time with our little boy celebrating his special day!

That morning the first thing Cohen asked for was "juice" and a "movie" so we dug through the car that we hadn't started unpacking yet to find the movies and the bottle of juice.

We went to Summerfest (Orem city celebration) and watched the parade while we ate churros. Cohen loved the parade, which I was surprised about since he doesn't like to sit for very many things. We also watched a helicopter land and got pizza for dinner and just enjoyed the day together.On Sunday we had a fun family bbq at my mom's and Cohen had so much fun playing with his cousins, Kaden and Destiny. (They are so cute with Cohen!)

Everyday Cohen asks to "bump"! Jumping on the tramp is one of his favorite things!

Mmm, yummy dinner!

Blowing out the candle, now it's official. Cohen is two!Cohen liked the icing the best (my favorite part too) and licked three cupcakes clean.

He was so cute opening his present. He got so excited about each one!

Cohen got a Mr. Potato Head and loves to try and wear his hat and glasses.

I can't believe my little boy is 2! Happy Birthday COHEN!

Flight home!

We were able to get a direct flight this time so our flight was only 5 hours instead of 7 and a half. It was still a really long day getting home and I used every toy, treat and movie I had and Cohen still had a hard time the last couple hours, but we made it! Cohen also had his own seat this time so that made it so much easier and more comfortable!

As we were coming into Salt Lake, Cohen was watching from the window. He saw the water below from the Great Salt Lake that looked white and got so excited and started yelling "snow"! He looks a little zoned from our trip! :)

Waiting to get off the plane! We made it!!!
