:: our day @ the library ::

Cohen and I went to the library yesterday, which we do quite a bit because I hate to say it, but I am a book worm, sort of a nerd. But yesterday we did a little exploring! We rode the elevator a few times, walked around the children section, checked out the art museum, and turned a corner and saw a very scary cross-dresser (not to judge, but he was scary). So we darted back to the elevator.
It was an over-all fun day at the library.

:: THE LAUGH ::

Oh how I LOVE this little laugh.
Makes me whole day seem perfect.

DUCKS.

Over the holiday weekend we took Cohen to see the DUCKS by BYU. He seemed to like them! They don't make too much noise because everyone is feeding them bread, including us. I think if they did make more noise Cohen would've enjoyed them more. But it was fun!

We tricked the ducks with bread to come up on shore.

This sad duck had a blow dart through his neck! Awful. I wanted to save him but he wouldn't come close enough for me to grab. Dang. Poor guy......and another in his foot, so when he paddled it would move and hurt so bad I'm sure. :( Stupid people who don't have anything better to do. Shame on you.

Cohen's 8 month update

My little buddy is 8 months old this week.

His personality is so dang cute, I can't get enough of him.
I see more and more of his daddy in him each day, which I love.
He is such a little smarty pants, he amazes me daily.
Buddy, thanks for loving me everyday no matter what.

I LOVE YOU my little Cohen!

took his first car ride with his girlfriend Abigail to a play date

loves to hold his juice bottle
loves to play with dad and balance on his knees and hands

cohen's pillow.

Cohen LOVES this little red pillow. It's just his size, & he could play with it for at least an hour. This is our last resort when he's sick of our daily routine of playing with toys and books, & it's stormy outside & we can't go for a walk. We lay on mommy's bed & play with the red pillow instead!

I LOVE PLAY DATES.

my cute girlfriends came over the other day to have a play date. i LOVE getting together with our kids & having "girl talk". it's like a breath of fresh air! i'm sure the kids feel the same way.
thanks girlies! you rock.

We were just being silly.
