Fiesta Days 2010

We love living in Spanish Fork! Fiesta Day's is always a great time to spend some time with our families. These pictures are from the parade. After being in so many parades for the campaign, it is always so nice to be able to sit and watch the parade.

I love my Cooper!

Cooper is going to make a girl very happy someday. I am one lucky lady to get all the flowers he gives to me. : )

Water Party!

The beginning of the summer I received a new calling as a counselor in the Primary. I have absolutely loved it! One of the first things I was able to help with was a water party for all of the kids. We kept it simple and my group played "duck, duck, goose" with a spray bottle. Everyone seemed to have fun, and I loved watching Cooper play with all of the other kids.

Six Flags!

Earlier this summer, we went out to visit Derek's brother and his family who had just moved to Denver. We really loved it out there. It seems like a great place to live. One of the days we were there, we went to Elitch Gardens (previously a Six Flags) and had a fantastic time together. It was a really great day with my family.

This was Jack's first amusement park ride. He must be my child, because he seemed to really enjoy everything at the park.

Baseball Lessons

Cooper has done a lot of fun things this summer. He took a 2 week art class, baseball lessons, and swimming lessons. (Although the swimming lessons were cancelled after the first day...) It was a great opportunity for Derek and Cooper to spend some fun time together. He learned all of the basics and provided some great entertainment while they attempted to play a t-ball game.

Bowling with the Nelson's

The Nelson's love to bowl! One really rainy summer day, Derek's mom planned an afternoon to go bowling together. We had a lot of fun spending the day with some of Cooper's cousins.

My 2 cute bowlers. : )

Preschool Program

Leave it to me to blog about Cooper's preschool program only a few weeks before he starts back to school. They sang a lot of fun songs and each had a little part. My camera wasn't working very well, so this the only picture we have. He is so very loved and had all 4 of his grandparents come to watch him.

He is going to Miss Amy's preschool again this year and is very exited. I was amazed at how much he learned in one short year. He really grew up a lot in the past year, and we are very thankful that he has such a great and caring preschool teacher.

Cell Phone Pictures

It has only taken over two years, but I finally figured out how to get the pictures off of my cell phone. A lot of these are really old, but here is a little of what we have been up to for the last couple years. Enjoy. : )

Cooper and Grandpa Nelson

Cooper LOVES to break-dance!

Filming of the MTV movie "American Mall". It was MTV's version of High School Musical, but if never quite caught on. They filmed it at Provo Towne Center mall, so we watch a lot of it while my mom and I would walk in the morning.

Cooper looks so little!

Cooper and Derek out of the golf course. That is still where you will find them every Friday, and sometimes every Saturday too.

Derek and his grumpy face. He will probably be mad that I posted this one. : )

Cooper and his cousin Paisley.

This is the only picture I have of my first Republican Party State Convention. That was a day I will ALWAYS remember.

Cooper moving into his "big boy bed".

This is the first time Cooper met his new cousin Jordan who had just been adopted from Morocco. Jordan wasn't too sure about us. We LOVE Jordan and Cohen!!

Playing Guitar Hero at Katie's house.

This was the night of the primary election. Jason is about to answer Chris Cannon's phone call.
