Here come some sunny days!

I am a slacker....or just busy with 2 kids is more like it :D! Cory is still in a sling with his shoulder surgery. He is doing therapy 2 times a week and then every night on his own he will do stretches. Slowly he is getting better. I am still going crazy with no help and no break, but it will be worth it in the end. I should just stop whining but I do miss taking a bath whenever I want.

I will start our blog with our New Years Eve. Grandma Connie came over in the afternoon and decided to have a sleep over with us. We made Gingerbread cookies together. Cayman had so much fun rolling out the dough and decorating them. I enjoyed eating them! She had to take some around to the neighbors and show off her work. It was fun. We then had Papa Murphys for dinner and rented Night at the museum 2 to watch. We got in our jammies and blew up the air mattress and settled down for a long night.
Cayman and Cooper both made it to midnight and then Cj and Jackie came over to watch the ball drop. We made Shirley temples which are a tradition in my family and something I remember as a child. It was fun to share with my little girl. Yummy!
After the ball dropped we did some pop its outside and popped our streamers. It was a fun night. The next morning Connie went and got donuts and we made breakfast. It was a good weekend.
Cooper got to try sitting in the high chair for the first time. I think he liked it. I haven't tried again but here is a picture of my little cutie!
Cayman is still liking ballet. Here is a picture of her stretching on the bars. She is such a dancer.
Cory got to take Cayman to two Jazz games this month. We got some tickets from our Billy Joel and Elton John concert being rescheduled. So Cory took Cayman on a daddy-daughter date. What fun. She loved the Jazz game. We got her cute little jersey to wear and she looked so cute! Now when she sees anyone with the Jazz colors she yells GO JAZZ!! It is funny. Here are some pics of them at the game.





Now, Cayman wants to go to Jazz games all the time. Hopefully she will share her dads passion of sports.
Earlier this week we went to St. George. What a nice break from this inversion and yucky snow. I hate the cold weather. On the way down Cooper pretty much threw up his whole bottle in his carseat and when I undressed him and got him cleaned up he was much happier. This is him relaxing. Luckily, he wasn't sick any other day. It was in the 50s and so nice and sunny. We went and hiked around the sand dunes a little bit and let Cayman play in the red sand.
Afterwards, Cory found some rocks for Cayman to hike and explore.

She had such fun looking in the little caves and exploring. I loved this cactus and took a picture of Cayman standing by it. Cooper loved being outside and looking around. It was a really nice day. That night we went swimming and Cooper got to try out this baby float.

He was still a little small to sit in it. He had fun with me holding him and would kick his legs like crazy. He loves the water. Cayman was happy to be swimming too! She loved the hot tub. Later that night Cooper got to sit with dad. My 2 boys I love! The next day was very cold and dreary. It rained a little bit and so we had to limit our outside play. We went shopping and swimming and still had a good time. On our last day we woke up to sunshine and went to hike on Dixie rock. Cooper had a fun time hanging out with mommy and we did a great job exploring and hiking together. Cayman and Cory were buddies and we followed wherever they lead us. It was so nice to get out and move and be in the sun. Why do I live in a snowy place? I don't know. But I love that St. George is not far away. We got some good pics of us hiking around and enjoying the weather.






We left all that and came home to yucky smog and cold, but there is nothing like coming home. Cayman got sick that last night with a really bad cough and then on the way home she was coughing so hard she threw up. Sad little kid. I sat in the back and tried to help the best I could and then on Friday we went to the doctors. Cayman weighs 29.6 pounds and is 3 feet 2 inches tall. She had a really bad sinus infection that was making her cough and so we are on antibiotics now. Cooper was seen also for his runny nose and fussiness when he eats, and sleeps and he weighed 14.4 pounds and was given Prevacid for his bad reflux which is why he cries and his throat is really red from spitting up so much. Hopefully this will help with his crying all the time. By the way, Cooper has 2 teeth now. He is getting so big. He can sit by himself pretty much, he is still a little wobbly and we have to be next to him but he tries so hard. We have had a pretty fun month so far and hopefully I will be better about bloggin! Laters!
