The last day before we ventured home we went and toured one of the retired ships in port and got to see all kinds of cool plays and stuff.  Grandma Sue and Grandpa Scott, and Uncle Clint and Aunt Kristen came with us too.

 Here's Linken sitting in a jet....

We had an awesome vaction down in So. Cal and would love to make this a yearly tradion if we could.... can get much better than a week vacations in a beach house right accross from the beach!



What we've been doing the last SIX months!!!

Well SLACKER is my name.... I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted any updates on here... So many things have happened since the last post, So. California vactation, spent the month of September in Massachsetts living out of hotels while Brady worked, Christmas, Potty training, Easter, Krum Family Reunion in St. George, and Linken turned 3. As you can see life had been just a little busy which I am updating the blog months later. Life is still busy but is somewhat normal. The boys are getting so big. Linken just turned 3 which seems crazy he is seeming so much older the last few weeks between getting potty trained and him just acting older, by the funny things he says and his pretend playing. He is beginning to get quite an imagination and it is so fun to see. Cooper is growing so fast and is already 10 months old. The first part of the year he has a cold that never went awayand eventually turned into RSV so we were home bound for weeks doing multiple breathing treatments to help him get better. He is doing much better and is the sweetest little guy ever. He loves bathtime and playing with his brother. He already has 5 teeth and they just keep coming. He loves to EAT.... and eats pretty much anything you give him his favorites are rice & beans, potatoes, and squash. He has recently discovered his tougne and when you stick yours out he will stick his out too. Life is BUSY but GREAT! We are soaking in and enjoying the wonderful California weather and are out side quite a bit. Here are some pictures from our latest adventures.

San Francisco Zoo

So yesterday before Grandma Sue and Grandpa Scott left to go home we decided to venture to the San Francisco Zoo. The drive was a bit long and it was 60 degrees so a bit cold for Cooper but we had a good time. We walked the whole zoo and saw all the animals, most of which were either sleeping or seemed old and could hardly move. But Linken didn't care he was entertained and loves just being outside and loved being with his grandparents. On the way home we ate at Cheesecake Factory which made the whole trip worth it for me!!

If your wondering why the stroller is in the picture that was to count Cooper who was sleeping

My little taranchula...

My little peacock

Some type of deer I think

Twinners...

Okay... So I swore I wouldn't ever be one of those moms who dressed my kids a like but I got these outfits when I was pregnant with Cooper and can't believe he fits in his already. So I had to take some pictures of them matching cause who knows how long they will fit Coop. He is growing quickly. This outfit is 4-6 months and he is only a month and a half... Linken had worn his out fit all summer.

Coopers Newborn Pics

I was so excited when Cooper decided to come early for many reasons but one is because Melissa McKinley was able to come do his newborn pics before she left for the East Coast. She did an amazing job. Here's baby Cooper just 3 days old!!

Coopers Blessing Day

This past Sunday we were able to bless Cooper. I am so grateful for Cooper and feel so blessed to have him join our little family. I am so grateful for my husband and all my family who was able to come. We truly are blessed to have so many great friends and family so close. Thanks everyone for coming! My boys are my whole world... I love you Brady, Linken & Cooper!

All the family and friends

All smiles...

Cooper not in the mood for pictures...

*Grandma Diana this picture is for you!! Thanks for the outfit!!
