A Family Affair

Cooper and I flew to Utah the first part of the month for 2 reasons: 1) I'm afraid my doctor will tell me I can't travel soon and I don't know when I'd get out again; and 2) my BABY brother was getting MARRIED!! That's right, Paul-E-Wog took the plunge before the other 3 boys.

And here's the HAPPY couple with my nephew, Trevor, as the ring bearer. He kept telling his mom he wanted to be the one to throw the flowers but he settled for the rings in the end.

Paul and Kelsie drove to Las Vegas after their big day for the honeymoon. My sister and I did the decorating for the luncheon so I had to put a pic in with how it turned out. Not bad for 2 girls with 4 kids between them (5, 3, 1 & 3 months) and NO husbands around to help! Poor Dad was our errand boy with half his finger (severed it the week before in a not-to-be mentioned wood splitting accident) - love you Dad!

But BEFORE the wedding... we had a little fun at the Hogle Zoo with the Clark Family. Here's Cooper with Aunt Jane:

And me with Sierra, Cooper with Grandma.

Of course after the Zoo it's good to wash the wonderful smells off. So Cooper had to jump in the tub with his cousin:

Then we were off to spend time with the Gray's - OF course I MADE them take me to Leatherby's, though the ice cream didn't taste the same with my temporary discerning palette (I can't wait until I LIKE chocolate and sweets again). Here's Cooper with cousin Tyler:

And Cindy with her littlest one, Megan:

At the end of our trip we headed back to SUNNY, BEAUTIFUL, wish I lived there RIGHT NOW Saint George. Cooper wouldn't leave Grandpa alone. He even "helped" him in his office.
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful time. We had too many adventures to blog about. I did drop in on my friends at Nu Skin, ahhh... back in the working days when I straightened my hair and put make-up on EVERY day. Thanks to Shan, Candice, Brian, Matt and everyone else who made time to chat with me for a while.

This scoop is for you!

Announcing...

I FINALLY went in for an ultrasound on Wednesday and we are SO HAPPY to let everyone know that both twins look GREAT and we are expecting...

Randy said, "There goes my football team!" (I don't know how many babies he thinks I'm going to have but I don't see THAT many in our future.) Soon the girls will outnumber the boys in our house - how weird!

Let's bring on the PINK!

Spooky Lion

I know it's sooo late, but couldn't NOT post a pic of Coop in his Halloween costume. My friend, Anna, saved me some $$ this year when she let me borrow this adorable LION costume that Cooper ADORED. In fact, I put it on him a few weeks before to make certain it fit and he did NOT want to take it off. I see superhero costumes in our future for sure. This is a pic of Randy, me and Coop at the Annual Medical Partners' Halloween Kids' Party.

We went trick-or-treating later that night and I think Randy had just as much fun as Cooper! It didn't take Coop long to figure out the routine, but if any of the houses had a dog inside he would run in (before I could stop him) so he could pet it - NO fear, I swear. Needless to say we saw many houses in our neighborhood, inside and out.

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween as well!

Be Back Soon

Cooper and I are off on adventures in Utah - visiting family and attending my BABY brother's wedding!! (I can't even believe it.) So I'll have some fun pics and tales to tell when we get back next week.

Love to all!
