Twighlight Concert

The Galavin Center has been hosting the Twighlight Concert Series for the last few months and we were finally able to make it to the last one of the season. We got there 20min before the first band came on and browsed the little booths that were set up. People selling misc. things. It was really nice night to be out in the city. We stopped by on of Kris's customers BBQ booth. He makes some of the BEST ribs I have ever eaten! Our roommates came also so we all passed Cooper around and talked and listened to some pretty chill music. After a while I did get kinda bored so we left to put the baby to sleep. We will definitely be going next year though.
I love this picture!

LakeTown Demo Derby

Last weekend we went up to Bear Lake after a 3 week hiatus. It was good to get to spend time with my parents and sister without a ton of people around.
Kris & I left SLC around 3 pm on Friday so we could make it up to Bear Lake in time for a Golf Tourney. It was fun! We sucked of course but we have tons of fun golfing together. It does make it a lot more fun when you are playing best ball.
Saturday morning we waited until it warmed up enough to go boating. I wakeboarded a couple of times but for some reason it was just kicking my butt! Kris was the same way but he went a few times more than I did. After boating my mom & I got ready and went to browse the shops in town for some warmer clothes. I am so used to it always being warm in the city. I forget it is starting to get down into the 50's over night. So I didn't bring any warm clothes for the baby to be in at the Demo derby. I had to pick up some pants because my mom had talked my sister and I into being part of the "Half Time" entertainment. If you could picture a real life Mario Kart race that is what it felt like. Two people were on a 4-wheeler; the driver had a balloon duct taped to their helmet and the passenger has a plastic bat. There were 11 4-wheeler teams going a round the arena in a cirlce trying to not tip over while smacking the oppenents balloon off. It was hilariously fun! We were the second people out because my sister got the bat smacked out of her hand. Too bad the winners got $300!
Sunday we hung out most of the morning and then decided to all go golfing. So we snapped the baby in the golf cart and took off. It wasn't my best golfing ever but I think I am improving. After that we went back home and ate some pizza and then headed for home.

Hour 13

On friday night we had our roommates daughter stick around the house so we could go to our favorite bar and watch our friends band play their first gig. Kris helped them get in their and he also helped them order some sweet shirts to sale. Kris and I were so excited we were the first people other than the band to show up. Plus it was a much needed get away for me. Now if you know anything about me you would know that I like to drink as much as the next girl, but I haven't REALLY drank since I got pregnant with Cooper. This whole mommy business just ruins the fun. Let me just say I go the drunkest I have EVER been on friday night. Ryan the bartender knew just what I wanted when I said "Make me your favorite drink"! It was called an Aligator. All I know is between 4ish of those and some shots of Treasure I was done! I do still remember everything that went on but I haven't ever puked like that in my life!!
Aside from my drinking...We had so much fun the band was AWESOME and we were with all our friends!!

Here are some pics of the fun!

1 year check up

Today we had Cooper's check up with his pediatrician. All went well. He weighs in at 16 lbs 2 oz, which is great that means he has gained 10 oz in 3 weeks. He has a huge head and long body so here is how he rates!
Head= 70%
Body= 15%
Weight= 0%

Dr. Ralston is very pleased with his development. He kicked me in the butt though for him not sleeping through the night. He understands somethings but made a few reccomendations for us to try. Basically its a diluted version of the Ferber method. Which is fine with me at this point. After a year I am down with the idea of sleeping through the night. He also reccomended to start trying whole milk. Ease into it the way we went from breastmilk to formula. He said try and spread it out over a months time that way if he has any reaction we will be able to catch it.

He is a happy healthy little guy!

Cooper's Birthday Party

It turned out great. Everything went well except running out of propane in the middle of grilling burgers and pineapple. All the kids got a pirate bandana and treasure chest with goodies in it. Other than that it was sitting around talking and eating. Nothing too exciting. Cooper was really great to watch while we sang happy birthday and he ate his cake. Suprisingly enough only one handfull hit the floor and the dog was all over that. After cake we opened some gifts that his friends and family brought. Spoiled little boy! Here is a slide show of the pics and a video. Hope you enjoy because we sure did!
