Cohen LOVES his Uncle Matt. Maybe it's the
red hair, or that he's a little person.

Watching Uncle Matt's football game.

Champion QB Matt played an awesome game.

The Kitchen Boys after the game.

Had to get used to Grandpa's mustache again.

Made cupcakes for a get-together we had with
my girlfriends from high school and their hubbys.
(so mad I didn't get a pic of everyone)
Just imagine pretty girls with handsome fellas.

Having a little alone time - - well needed at times.

Having some "dad time" - - Also well needed.

Aunt Jenna, Cousin Kai & Uncle Matt.

My cute sister-in-law Tiffy. Love her!

Here we are! Ready to stuff our faces.

Great Grammy Miller giving Cohen some love.

He was very entertained on her lap as she sang to him.

Me, Jenn, Tiffy. CUTE. SISTERS.

Do you think Cohen needs more love???!??
We are so lucky to have lots of family that love him so much.
Thanks everyone for a great Thanksgiving holiday.
We Love You!

COHEN is FIVE MONTHS old

My baby is five months! Well, he was on Nov. the 20th. He is my little bud and I love EVERY day with him, even the hard days. He makes me smile really big, and Brock and I feel like the luckiest parents in the world to have him in our lives.
I LOVE YOU BUDDY!

Some new FIRST's and FAVORITE's of Cohen's:

He still LOVES to have a naked bum, but he
is now grabbing his feet every chance he gets.

Rice Cereal. . .Not so interested
quite yet, but we'll keep trying.
(see video below)

New hat and gloves. He still loves
walks even when it's freezing outside.

First taste of rice cereal. YUM!

a weekend with grandma. . . .

My cute mom came up to play this last weekend, and we had a blast! Pretty easy to have fun all weekend with her. We did some hair cutting, shopping of course, and went to a Christmas Expo. She's one amazing person. If I can be half the woman she is at her age I will be happy. She is such a great example to me, and has taught me all I know about taking care of a child. Cohen adores her and misses her when she's gone.

I love her with all that I am.
Thanks mama for being my role model!

Always smiling at Grandma.

Almost laughing as well!

And he still loves the bink. Although, he seems
more interested in his thumb now a days.

Hopefully Cohen will inherit my fetish for hats....

My favorite hat of Co's -- The Moose hat!
Given to him from Uncle Brett & Aunt Danna.

The russian hat.

The golfer hat....I guess.

My mom was making Cohen
giggle over and over again.

Cohen's First Buddy.

My wonderful friend Char and I had a little play date today.So fun! Our darling little boys had a blast exploring each other. Troy is almost 8 months old, 3 months older than Cohen. They are little buds. I can't wait until they can chase each other around and play ball together, and Char and I can continue having girl talk and what not.
Thanks Char and Troy for being our best buds!

The boys playing in action.

my sweetheart.

I AM MARRIED TO THE GREATEST MAN ALIVE.
Not just because he sent me flowers randomly, just to tell me he loves me and thanks for being a great wife and mommy, but because he treats me like a queen always. He works so hard for our family and makes all my days so much better because he's in my life. He is an amazing example to me in many aspects of life. He's my best friend and a wonderful daddy.
I LOVE YOU MY SWEETHEART!

And here's a few pics of Cohen's new favorite
thing to do--chomp on his two fingers all the time!

HALLOWEEN post......of course.

Cohen's first Halloween was so much fun! He had such a good night and so did we. We had a fun Halloween party with some great friends which was held at the Allsop's home (thanks again for hosting) We had a yummy soup and croissant dinner with fruit and salad. We made caramel apples and played Battle of the Sexes, so much fun always. I wish I had pictures of every couple there: Ryan and Stephanie Coyne, Mandy and Braden Boyer, Scott, Heidi & Brinley Chavez, us and the Allsops. Everyone looked so cute, and we had a blast!
I'm SO grateful for great friends.

My little tiger......Rrr!

I thought the costume would bug him,
but he thought it was great!

Of course no smiles in the costume.
Just serious stares.

Brock as a mad chemist/surgeon/astronaut.
He couldn't decide, so he was all three.
I love that man--so so much!

Oh I love my little TIGER!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
