Easter Craft!

We love art projects of any kind around here! I can't even remember where I saw this one- but you cut out some eggs from cardstock, color on them with white crayon, then drop food coloring on them & spray with a spray bottle! We had a lot of fun & they turned out pretty cool!

I was glad it was actually warm enough to do this outside! (Which means it wasn't snowing, haha!) Scooter thought the whole project was a lot of fun!

How our eggs turned out! (I helped him decorate with the white crayon, but he did the rest!)

Clothes are overrated!

Why is it that naked (or mostly naked!) babies just look so cute?! On this day we were just changing Cooper's outfit and I thought, Oh, we've gotta get some pictures of him in just his diaper! He looks so cute!


I love how you can see the drool on his chin in this one!!
I don't even remember if this was the same day or not - but somehow Scooter ended up without any clothes on for a while too! haha!

Rock & Roll

I can hardly believe that Cooper J. is rolling over already! It is so fun to watch him roll around - I just cant believe how fast he's growing!!!

I think it is so cute when he rolls over and then scoots up on his knees like this!!

Thumb sucker!

Scooter Says...

Scooter is always saying things that just crack me up, so I wanted to share some of the things that make me laugh!! (and of course I had to post some pictures of this cute boy!)

*One night we were getting ready for bed & Scooter said his prayer and then asked me if he forgot anything, and I said: "I don't think you forgot anything. You can say what you're thankful for, and if you want to ask Heavenly Father for anything..." and then Scooter said: "I want to ask Heavenly Father for a treat!"

*Scooter: (saying his prayer): "Thankful for Mom at Zumbalaya...is that right?!"
Dad: "Zumba!"
Scooter: "Thankful for Mom at Zumba."

*Last summer we had a yard sale at my moms, & Derek said: "I love yard sales! ...but Woody doesn't like yard sales!"

*Scooter: "That's just a peanut operation!"
Mom: "What?! Who says that?!"
Scooter: "Little John - remember when they hide behind the bushes and Little John says: Its just a circus, a peanut operation!" (Guess we've watched Robin Hood a lot, haha!)
* Scooter: "Mom, I need a paper towel" (aka a tissue)
Mom: "OK, I'll get you one."
Scooter: "That's not necessary!"

*We were listening to Josh Groban and the words to one of the songs say: "I just can't wait to get lost in your eyes." and Derek said: "Mom! Josh said he wants to get lost! How sad!"

* And one of my favorites: "We should read books every day!" I totally agree!!

Some more fun pictures!

Little Buddies!
I love how Scooter is holding Cooper's hand in this picture!
Cooper hiding from the camera! Guess he didn't want me to take his picture this time!!


Scooter Boy rockin' out!

Grandma and Grandpa Came to Visit!

We were so excited to have Grandma and Grandpa come out for a visit! The day that they flew in - Scooter asked me all morning when Grandma and Grandpa were going to get to our house! ("Mom, do you think Grandma and Grandpa are still on the airplane? ... Mom! I bet grandpa and grandma are driving here right now! etc.) He was pretty excited, and Grandma & Grandpa are pretty good sports because they just played and played with Scooter!

Here is Grandpa J. and Cooper J. Cooper had such big, sweet smiles for Grandpa!
Smiling for Grandpa!
Grandma, Derek and Cooper.
Grandma and Derek playing angry birds! Ryan recently got a new phone and Derek absolutely loves to play games on it, so he was thrilled that Grandma's phone has games too!! They had a lot of fun playing together! ...And it has been cracking me and Ryan up because the last two nights Derek has talked in his sleep about angry birds!! Haha! I think he's hooked Grandma!
