Love when our friends are over...

Elder Jackson returns!

Cohen and I made our way back to Utah again. It was for a great reason though...Elder Jackson is home! It is so exciting that my little brother Keegan is now home after serving the Lord for two years! It is crazy that he hadn't ever met Cohen. I am so grateful that we could be there for his homecoming! Cohen sures loves his Uncle Keegan...we are proud of you Keegs! Utah was a blast! Cohen loved seeing his cousins, aunts and uncles...I did too!!!

Finally here after a 2 hour wait!

This were balloons for all the decorating we did outside my parent's house. Cohen was freaked out by them in the car...poor kid.

Now random pics from the trip...

Cheesin' it for Grandpa

Jon and I weren't together on Valentine's so he sent me flowers...total surprise. I sure loved them!

18 months old!

18 MONTHS OLD and...

Ready for nursery!

Smiling all the time!

Loves the phone and taking pictures..."cheeeessseee!"

Is actually sleeping through the night...this day he just wore himself out at the park!

Has so much energy just keeps going and going...runs everywhere he goes!

Adventurous!

Everything is about sports! He loves ALL of them! He also has to do everything that Dad does...a little mini Jon!

Oh how I love my little man!

Just like dad!

Cohen tries to be just like dad...ALL the time!

The quiet book!

While I was in Utah I decided to do a quiet book. I have been wanting to do one for a while. What better time to do it then in Utah with my moms help! I was trying to think of something to help Cohen while at church...hoping this will help! I wanted to show the completed project. Here it is after a lot of time and work...

It's all put together now! Let's hope it helps!

My Birthday

This year for my birthday most of the household was sick...Jon was pretty miserable and Cohen had a cold. It was low key...just how I like it! I worked out and took Cohen to the park...pretty good day. Even though the two sickies weren't feeling good they still found enough energy to take me to Chick fil a and get a slurpee!

Christmas!

This year we got to celebrate it in Texas with just our little family. It was kind of nice to do something different and make our own traditions! We had hot chocolate on Christmas Eve, watched a Christmas movie, read a children's story about what Christmas is all about (thanks Mahauni) and opened up pj's. I love that Cohen really understood the whole presents thing this year. It made it so fun for me and Jon! Cohen also got it already that you wake up early on Christmas morning...he was up at 2 am wide awake! When 4 am rolled around and he was still awake we decided to get up and open presents...see what Santa brought! Definitely a good Christmas!

Utah Trip

Before Christmas I had the best time bringing in the holiday with my family. Jon had to stay due to his unit coming in...sad he couldn't come. Cohen and I tried get in as much of Utah, family and friends that we could. We had so much fun!

We went to go see the lights on Temple square

Cohen LOVES spending time with Millie

We made our way down to Riverwoods to see the lights there and check out the fun stores!

Shopping!

Had movie night! (PJ's were a must!)

I know you think this is lame...but I missed Red Robin...had to get me some clucks and fries! We also went to Brick Oven...loved spending time with the Fullers!

Of course spending time with friends!

We also went to Monticello and Goshen...yep I think we fit it all in! It was so good to see everyone! Jon was sad he couldn't make it out this time...hopefully next time! We miss you all!
