Is it spring yet?

Cooper is a very active boy. Since December it has been getting more difficult to entertain him inside. He LOVES to play outside any chance mom and dad will let him. Here are a few attempts to entertain him inside.


Playing inside his tent is fun. But he enjoys running in and out of it the most.


Being wrapped up in the pack and play bed bottom is always fun. Especially when daddy carries him like a suitcase.


Going to the park on the days it wasn't snowing and sliding down the slide was fun. Although, Cooper would not go down by himself.


In February, Uncle Craig, Aunt Olga and their friend Brian came to visit. During the day they went snowboarding and one evening we made sushi for dinner. cooper was so excited to help.


He even enjoyed eating sushi, much more than mommy did.


Cooper has decided he doesn't like to sit at the big table any more so we got him his own little table and chair set. Now this is how we eat dinner most nights. Apparently mommy and daddy don't get a say in the matter.


One day when it was sunny out we spend the morning at the park swinging with Benecio and his daddy. Even though there was snow it was still fun.


Cooper was invited to a birthday party at McDonalds. All the slides were so much fun. Maybe someday he will be big enough to do the taller slides.


When it is cold outside this is Cooper's favorite place to play, in the back of daddy's car. At least it's a little warmer than outside.


One weekend the train show came to Ogden. It's been over 3 weeks and Cooper is STILL talking about the train show. I think his favorite part was climbing on all the big trains.


But riding on the train was also fun.


One day Cooper decided he wanted to play outside. He kept falling down in the snow so he decided to put on mommy's mittens. Now Cooper can touch the snow without getting cold hands.


In March I danced in the spring belly dance show in SLC. What a blast! I love these ladies!


A few weekends ago our microwave died and we needed to buy a new one. I never realized how much we relied on one until it's gone. This was the box it came in and Cooper was creative enough to use it as a garage for his car. One of his favorite things to do is open and close garages. This was perfect.


Cooper was playing outside one sunny day and accidentally tripped over his chair and got a big scrape on his cheek. He absolutely needed a band-aid to make it all better. Its magic how it works.


We went to the Beus pond weekend to feed the ducks. They have now posted many do not feed the duck signs :( Apparently, we never noticed them before, if they really were there.

A little mouth music for your listening pleasure.




Cooper loves to ride his bike. He's getting good about putting his feet on the pedals while mommy or daddy pushes him.





We are looking forward to spring so we can spend more time outside. Hurry up and get here spring!
