Family fun!!

We started last weekend with helping Cayman make a box car for her primary activity of watching a movie at the drive-in. This was way too fun to do! I took Cayman to pick out paper and stickers and then when dad got home they went to work making the car. Can you guess what color it was? Pink and white with princess stickers.
It looked so cute. We got told numerous times that Caymans car was by far the best!! Yay!! She looked so cute sitting in it. What fun!

We also went to the Utah Spring shirts game at the U. It was a lot of fun. We went with Cj and Jackie and Ryan and Amber and their twins. It was a good look at what is to come this summer. Lots of football!! It was a really nice day and the sun was shining. Cayman got a sno-cone and I don't know who liked it more...her or Cooper! He loved it!! We had a fun Saturday!

That night we had a surprise party for Paul's birthday. His suprise party was at Chuck A Rama! Ever since both my grandma and my aunt had a surprise party at Chuck A Rama, Paul has wanted one. So this year, his wish was granted. Alli set it all up and invited everyone.... Paul's entire family, some cousins, aunts, uncles and some of my family were all there to wish him a Happy Birthday. It was a fun night!


Cooper now is crawling all over the place. He pulls himself up to anything he can and most nights when he wakes up this is how we find him....

Not sleeping is one thing that is frustrating me more than anything. 8 months old and he wakes up about 5-10 times a a night. I am so tired most days but I just keep on moving!! Luckily he and Cayman both take naps at the same time for a good hour and a half. It is a nice little break.
Every night we say prayers and this is how Cooper likes to stand next to Cayman's bed. Then we give kisses and say good night. He sure likes his sister!
Cory put Cooper on his bike seat the other day and has been taking him for rides. Cooper loves it. Cayman gets upset that she is too big to fit anymore. Hopefully she will start riding her bike she got for Christmas.

On Saturday we had a BBQ at our house and invited Connie and Grandma and Grandpa Vincent over to eat. It was a nice evening and good food.
Every year on the date of our engagement, Cory will bring me purple tulips just like when he proposed. He asked me to marry him at the top of Ensign Peak and we sadly haven't been back to hike up there again. 6 years later we finally made the hike again!!
We took Cayman and Cooper and it wasn't as bad as I remember the first time. Sure it is really steep, but it was okay. Cayman fell a couple times but did really good. Cooper just loved to be outdoors. It was fun and Cayman got to see where daddy gave mommy her ring.


This picture of Cayman in the clouds is because Grandma Debi is up there with Jesus. Cayman thought this picture was great.
On Sunday we went to Alli and Pauls for a BBQ with our brother Ryan and his friend Ryan. It was fun to see everyone again and to visit and eat. We all wore our Easter outfits and we matched!! Imagine that!! The picture turned out cute though!!

Cute, cute, cute! I don't know if I'm more impressed by Cayman's car or the Primary presidency who dares attempt a drive-in movie with the entire primary! Tell me it was a fake drive-in movie???? Also, love the picture of Cooper praying by Cayman's bed. Sooooo sweet.

That is a very fun idea for a drive in in Primary! Also how romantic and cute that Cory brings you purple tulips on the anniversary of when he proposed and I love that you guys took the kids and went up there again! I hope he re-inacted it. How fun! You guys are always up to so much fun things!

You have the cutest family! I am so impressed by Cayman's car, And can Cooper get any cuter? I just love him! I am so feeling your pain with the no sleep thing.

Sawyer is still waking up at least twice a night and he went through a really horrible patch at about 8months to where it seemed like I was awake more than sleeping at night.

I hope that it gets better for you. I just keep hoping now that Sawyer has his tubes and is almost weaned that we will be getting a full night of sleep soon! Good luck!
