<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">For Brady's birthday I took the kids to the park to try out a cute pinterest idea. Luckily, I got a few pics of each kids, before the camera ran out of batteries. Here are a few outtakes from our short photo shoot. The gift turned out great so no photo </span>Brady, Brook, Ellie, & Cooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809737638217573251noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365621182535926922.post-23603502624087516042012-10-23T16:55:00.001-06:002012-10-23T16:55:32.438-06:00CougarVille<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Washington State football is a big deal here in Pullman. Everywhere you look there is crimson and gray!! In the streets, on the signs, in tile at the grocery store, and every college student is decked out. The kids weren't allowed shirts til after the BYU game and then we bought some gear to support the local team. Coach Leach is in our ward!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Since the weather was so gorgeous for the first home game we decided to take the kids to CougarVille. They had a bunch of games and food set up on the </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">practice</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> field next to the stadium. We enjoyed the free shuttle from the airport and once we found our way the kids had a blast.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">They bounced in the bounce house with Butch the Cougar, ran through the blow-up obstacle course, played all the games a few times and met the cheerleaders. Ellie had a blast chatting and showing off her cartwheel skills. We left before the game started and headed home to watch our other Cougars play!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">With our move Ellie started school a week late, which meant the first day was also picture day!!! She was super excited to met her new teacher Mrs. Boone and learn where her classroom would be. She even gets a locker!!! She has loved school and is super excited each day. We still have to walk her in, unless a friend gets there the same time, I guess she doesn't like the walk through the lunchroom by herself and I can't blame her. </span><br />

I was lucky enough to get to go and it was fun to put faces to the names that Ellie chats about at home. The first highlight of the trip was the bus ride. Ellie loved it and has secretly wanted to ride the bus ever since preschool started last year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">While at the farm we learned a lot about Apples. I had no idea there were over 5000 different types of apples and that red delicious were the most popular. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><u>Your Favorite Part</u>: Picking Apples</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><u>One thing You Learned</u>: That crab apples are sour and not good to eat, just to pollinate the other trees.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><u>Your Least Favorite Part</u>: Picking raspberries, because they had sharp bushes.</span></div>

She had quite the list of wants so she was pretty easy to buy for. Grandma Haycock got her a few things the week before and Ellie opened and played with one. However, as soon as we got home she took the other gift and got out a bag and wrapped it up and left it until her birthday. It was pretty cute and took alot for her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">That morning she got up early and unwrapped her presents before Brady left for work. At first it was just going to be one, but it ended up to be all of them. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Right before the party we got a package from the mailman and Ellie was happy to see it was for her and even more excited for what was inside. Thanks Lonny and Lisa!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After a pretty exciting party last year, we kind of took it easy this year. Our house had just gone up on the market so I didn't want a showing messing things up, so we opted for a small gathering at Menchies. We had the Brinkerhoff gals, the Beckstrom boys, and Abby come along. They had a blast running around and eating their yogurt. Ellie loved her presents and has enjoyed them ever since.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After ice cream we headed over to pick up Dad and then to the theater to finally see Brave. Both the kids did great and they loved the movie. A few parts were kind of intense but Ellie keeps asking "when can we own that one?" Afterwards she had to pose with a few of the movie posters.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">For dinner we went to every 5 year olds dream place, McDonalds for dinner. The Brinkerhoff's joined us and the kids played while the adults chatted. We ended the evening with a nice swim at the Heines. It was a great day and how in the world do I now have a 5 YEAR OLD!!!!</span>Brady, Brook, Ellie, & Cooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809737638217573251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365621182535926922.post-13635795618999997972012-08-06T16:08:00.001-06:002012-08-06T16:08:30.050-06:00Posey Lake<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The week before the 24th of July my kids spent a few days at the Cabin with my Mom and then we headed over to Posey Lake near Escalante.

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Wednesday afternoon, May 23rd, we had been over at the downtown water park celebrating the end of school and the beginning of summer. Cooper was running around like a crazy boy and having a ton of fun. Later that day we was kind of being lazy and attributed it to being tired from the sun and water. The Heine's invited us to swim and after a lot of persuading Cooper decided to come. Once there he swam and swam and swam. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The next day Cooper woke up warm, tired and not really feeling well. I knew a few kids in the neighborhood had the flu and just thought that was all it was. About 8 at night we was getting warmer and had absolutely no energy...here he is all sad and zonked on the floor. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">That night he slept with me and had a </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">fitful</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> few hours, he woke up and sighed a few times. Once he headed back to his room and i fell back asleep. Then he woke up screaming and complaining. I thought maybe he was hungry or </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">thirsty</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">, but he couldn't keep a thing down and threw up the bite of cracker he had. I went down and got Brady up and after much thought and prayer we decided to take him. His heart rate was pretty high and I was just worried. A few phone calls later, a neighbor sleeping on our couch and we were off to the ER.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Once we checked in and moved to our room. Cooper got an IV with fluids and pain medicine. They came to take some blood for test and decide to do an </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">ultrasound</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> to check on his </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">appendix</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">. The ultrasound was fine, but the blood level was high so they decide to do a CATscan. It also didn't show everything, but by 9 am Cooper was headed into surgery for an emergency </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">appendicitis</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">. After the surgery we found out that it had in fact burst and that Cooper was doing fine. I am just glad that Cooper is built bigger and that they were able to do it with just 3 small </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">incisions</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">. We then got an ambulance ride over to the older hospital to the peds wing. I wished Coop felt better at the time, because he would have loved it, but he just wanted out of there and the </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">stretcher</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Once in the peds wing, we settled into a quite large and private room. Grandma & Grandpa Haycock were able to visit. Cooper got plenty of rest and enjoyed watching Cars over and over. Once Ellie was able to visit we explored the floor and found the toy room. Cooper and Ellie rode wiggle cars around and played for hours there. Everyonce in awhile Cooper would wear himself out and get pretty grouchy but for the most part he was a pretty awesome patient. </span><br />

Cooper just kept saying, "I hate chelcie, I want Chelcie to go away, I don't like her!" over and over. It was kind of funny, but I felt bad he was so grumpy. Eventually he let her in, but boy was he mad at first. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">He had a pretty quick recovery and we were able to check out Sunday morning and go home. He still walked like a little old man all hunched over and hobbling like his Uncle Shane did, but he managed. We are just so thankful for all the neighbors that helped us with Ellie and took care of our family. HE sure love the little guy and are glad that he was fully recovered and may have more energy now than he did before!!!</span>Brady, Brook, Ellie, & Cooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809737638217573251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365621182535926922.post-2309854971820785502012-07-25T19:32:00.002-06:002012-07-25T19:33:34.640-06:00Coop's Actual B-day<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On Coop's birthday we had a lot of fun with the Mohler Crew.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We first headed to the dinosaur museum, I can't believe that we have lived here for 8 years and had never been. The kids loved every minute of being there and we learned a lot. We saw all sorts of teeth, bones, and footprints. We tried to take a bunch of group shots, but a kid would not be looking or turned around in each one. After that we headed to McDonalds for a kids dinner. They loved playing and wore themselves right out. Each time we drive past the museum the kids beg to go inside. </span><br />

I was planning on having a big H2O bash, but due to a little appendicitis things changed and we went with a Cars party. He invited a bunch of cousins and friends over to play, eat cake and ice cream, and open presents. They had a blast and he loved it. The highlight was the cake from Harmon's he had to show everyone as they arrived how awesome his cake was. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The premise is a 5k and at each 1k you run through a group of volunteer's throwing colored powder at you. It was a little hard to breathe, the purple had a Grape Kool-Aid taste to it and quite a haze, but it was fun. At the finish line they had a countdown then all the participates threw their color packets in the air. It was fun and we came out looking crazy. It was a really fun race and I am so signing up for it again next year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Cooper's crib had been turned into a day bed for quite awhile now and he was having problems sleeping in his bed the entire night. So in February, we took Ellie's top bunk and moved it to Coop's room. We went to Target and he got to pick out his very own sheets, he choose Lightning McQueen ones from Cars 2. That night we slept through the night and has been great ever since. He loves his new bed and can often be found playing an iTouch in his bed during the day!!! It made me wonder, when did my baby get so BIG!!!!</span>Brady, Brook, Ellie, & Cooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809737638217573251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365621182535926922.post-84815707610487371302012-03-27T12:35:00.001-06:002012-03-27T12:35:34.512-06:00Riding her her life!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">During January Ellie's BFF Abby learned to ride her bikes sans training wheels, so Ellie wanted to also. One night we took off the wheels and off she went, no wobbles or problems whatsoever!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">However, her bike was a little to big to start and stop on, so we got back out the little bike and she has never been happier!! She mastered up and down the driveway. She can go off the curb and down the steep driveway across the street. She has been loving every minute of her freedom. We have only had one crash that left quite the nasty bruise on her hip, but that didn't stop her at all. She has to go out and ride everyday and her bike has no made a few trips to Vegas and Orem!!! </span><br />

All of a sudden Coop started crying and walking towards me so I put him on my lap and chatted for a minute. While the little boy kept telling me, "I no hit him, he hit that" pointing at the candy machine. Coop stopped crying and off he went. A minute or two later he came back with a bloody hand, so I took him in the bathroom to wash it off and found no cuts. I thought it was kind of weird but sat him down anyway. As soon as he turned to walk out the door I noticed blood all over his neck and then the back of his head. I calmly picked him back up and washed off his neck and called Brady. I told him I wasn't sure if he needed stitches, but that it was pretty long. I'm not the best dealing with blood and such, but I was proud that I held it together pretty well. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I gathered all the boys up and took them upstairs to put on a movie. Cooper was not to happy about the towel I was trying to press on his head, luckily it wasn't bleeding much. Brady came home and decided we had better take him in. So off he went to the ER. I quickly got the 2 boys ready and took them next door until their mom could pick them up, she was due back in about 5 minutes, and asked if Ellie could stay awhile. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The entire way to the hospital I knew Cooper was going to be fine, but my adrenaline was up and I was really nervous. Lucky for us our neighbor, Vanessa, was working and Cooper was already checked in. Her first comment was, "I can't believe this didn't happen on a wiggle car, You should see this kid on one, he is a maniac!" They tried to find him a few toys, but he was really still and quiet. Like he knew what he was in for, he and I had been to the other hospital for a blood draw earlier in the day and he was acting just as guarded. They finally found some Toy Story stickers and he loved chatting with them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Once in our room the nurse, with whom Brady worked with in Orem, applied some numbing cream to Cooper's cut and then we waited. After about 20 minutes he came in and cleaned the wound and then Cooper got 4 staples in his head. He was really brave and only cried for a minute. As soon as he was done, he got down and was all smiles. He waved at the nurses and asked, "How do we get out of here!" ON our way out we saw Vanessa and she took Cooper to get a </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Popsicle</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">, his favorite!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The rest of the afternoon he was his same old wild self, I couldn't get him to settle down much. However, by the end of the day he had snuggled down with his dad to watch Jimmer and fallen sound asleep!!</span><br />
