Whats new?!

The beginning of week 3 was interesting with Cory being gone and me home alone with 2 kids, having a c-section, and being so tired. I wasn't sure how I was going to make it. Little did I know, I could do it on my own. Yes, it was tough, but I made it. Here are a few of the things we have done.
I told Cayman we could make Princess Cupcakes if she was good one day and so we ended up making them. She sure loves to help out and do anything in the kitchen. It sure is messier with her helping but she has to learn sometime right? Here are just a couple pictures.

We had some fun days outside and on one of these days we found a praying Mantis in our garden. Pretty cool!
We have been letting Cooper have some time under his play mat. He looked so cute I had to get some pics!

We had been waiting forever for Coopers cord to fall off so we could finally give him his 1st baths.Finally, after 2 weeks it fell off. Cooper loved his bath! He just laid there and loved being soaped up and washed. He was so cute. Cayman of course being the helper she is...had to help. She was ready for church in her dress and that is why she is wearing a bib I guess? I don't even know where she found that. She is silly.




Cayman loves to help feed Cooper and burp him and do anything that she can. She is sometimes too helpful. Here is Cayman feeding Cooper. With assistance of course.

Cayman loves bath time. She pretends to have tea parties and always makes us come in for her party. She has about a zillion toys in the tub and makes a huge mess! Here is her tea party!
Cory went to St. George this week for 3 days and I about had a nervous breakdown thinking about being alone for 3 days. I had some great help from friends and family. My neighbor Allison came and took Cayman Monday morning before she went to work. They went to the park and Alli did her hair in a fancy braid. It looked really cute. Cayman loves her. She is a single girl in our ward and so nice! Later that day, Cj and Jackie came home from work and took her out for a couple hours. It was really nice of them.
On Tuesday, my sister Mel and her hubby Phil came down. They took Cayman swimming and then we went to dinner. It was fun to see them. I did not get any pictures though.
On Wednesday, Cooper started acting sick. I took him to the doctors and she looked him over and said all looked good minus the slight fever he had. Cayman had a runny and stuffy nose and Cooper started being congested and I just knew he was sick. She said to just watch him and if his fever got higher than 100.4 to go to the ER. They took his weight and in just a week and half he was now 9 lbs and 11 oz. I guess he is eating a lot! I feel like all I do is feed him so it makes sense.
Cory didn't get home till late Wednesday night and then had to go right back to work on Thursday. I started feeling crappy Thursday but not too bad. Cory and Cj took Cayman to the UTE game and Connie, Candice, Jackie, baby Cooper and I went to dinner. That night, Cooper cried for about 3 hours straight. I couldn't figure out what was wrong and I was very exhausted. It was a very long night. On Friday, I took him in to the doctors again and the same thing was said. He started feeling better after that and has been pretty good. I got worse. It is so hard to be a good mom when you feel like death. Thankfully, Cory got home early Friday so I could go lay down. I didn't do anything on Friday and Cory just took care of everything. Today is Saturday and I feel a little better. Cory cleaned up the whole house, I got to sleep in until 9 with the baby and Cooper seems to be doing good. Lets hope this sickness passes fast!
Well, back to Thursday. It was the first Ute game of the season and Cayman has been very excited to go. She yells Go Utes every time she sees their logo or sticker or anything with the U on it. We got her a cheerleading outfit to wear to the games and it was finally Football time! We got some good pictures and Cory said Cayman did pretty good through out the whole game with the exception of being a little restless in the last quarter. She was shy and wouldn't cheer at all. Cory was disappointed because he thought she would be funner than she was. I guess all the attention from all the fans was a little overwhelming. She looked really cute though and I guess we will see if she goes to another game. Cory and Cj bought season tickets and Cayman gets to go if she is good. This is a good Daddy and daughter bonding time. Go UTES!!
