The Coopers

Chloe loves to do whatever Brett and I are doing. She has no interest at all in sitting down to watch TV. She is a busy little girl who is beginning to develop a sassy little 'tude. Imagine that.

This spring, Wyatt decided to play soccer with his buddy, JB. He had alot of fun. Unfortunately, it would get really cold and the kids would have to bundle up.

He was constantly asking us if he was the fastest, strongest or best player out there. He has developed a competitive attitude that is fun to watch.

Wyatt and Brielle were both in preschool this year. They went to different schools and learned alot. Brielle is miss social and loooves the classroom setting. Wyatt, on the other hand did not like to go. He'd rather be outside getting dirty.

Our sweet little girlies

For Brielle's graduation party, we went to the park. So her graduation picture is a little more casual

We were able to go to Jackson Hole and take some time off with the fam. Wyatt took looking for deer very seriously while we were making it to our destinations.

Brett and his log....

Wy and his Cutthroat trout. This is one proud fisherboy.

Brielle was involved in gymnastics this spring. She had alot of fun. Dontcha love Wyatt's outfit here? He has got his own little style.

So, it's been a loooong, looooong time since we last posted. Diana has been in school (kicking butt and taking names...getting ready for the nursing program at ISU) and Brett's been busy with work, kids, and of course, fishing and hunting. So please, get caught up if you like and start from the bottom. Thanks for being patient and hopefully we can stay caught up!

Aaaaaah...nevermind the sunflower seed on Brett's lip :)

A little bit of bed-head never hurt anyone!

Chloë just loved climbing on the rocks

Nothing like a lady and her shotgun! (as Brett would say)

Jake (Brett's younger brother) and his fiance took home the trophies (yes, they actually found trophies on ebay and had the plaques changed to read "Cooper Family Shootout." The winner takes them until they get dethroned). So cute the newly engaged couple could win...even though the Idaho Coopers should have taken home the gold!!!

Here's the whole Cooper family.

Here I am getting ready to shoot some clay pigeons.

Just last week we went to St. George for spring break. It was so nice to have 65-70 degree weather (while it was snowing up in Idaho). The kids had a blast and the whole Cooper family was able to be there. Our big event was Saturday and we had the Cooper Family Shootout at the sporting clay range in Mesquite, Nevada. The boys went against the boys, and the ladies against the ladies. The kids ran around looking for lizards and picking up empty shotgun shells.

Wyatt, Chloë, Audrey, Brielle

Brielle was just glowing on her birthday. She especially loves her Princess and the Frog T-shirt!

Chloë is so funny. She loves to sleep and be changed with her hands behind her head.

Wyatt, Brett and Missy

This was Wyatt's first duck hunt. Dad was sure happy to get his boy out. Wyatt had a blast helping dad spot ducks and blowing on his duck calls.

Since you get to eat for free for your birthday, we took advantage and ate at Tucano's at the Gateway. (L-R, Shay, Bryan, Jason, Courtney, Diana, Brett)

Ready for church

Mom and Chloë (notice the cut on her nose from the cat...stupid cat!)

While Wyatt and Brett were fishing, Brielle and Chloë played in the ice tent

Here's Wyatt with a perch he caught at American Falls reservoir.

So, we got this cat and we definitely have a love/hate relationship. She's pretty cute and looooves to play with the kids. As you can see from Wyatt's hand, she may love to play with the kids too much.

Chloë at Jason's (Brett's oldest brother) wedding in the Bountiful temple waiting area.

Chloë has this thing she does where she fakes pouting. We're not sure where she got it, but it sure is funny that she's learned how to act like she's mad. It's cute now, but hopefully she gets over it when she's a teenager!

Our Chloë princess

Brielle is glad daddy finally hauled the tree inside.

On our way home from tree cutting, we were getting close to Evanston, Wyoming and Brett said we just had to stop and watch a bunch of deer. They were "rutting" and so it was pretty cool seeing them up close and personal. This big deer was definitely not afraid to cross the street whenever he wanted!
