Cohens Birthday Party(ies)

I only have pictures from one of Cohens three birthday parties!  He had quite the first celebration with all his birthday parties.  First we had one with my family for Cohen at our house and that was his first cake experience.  He got spoiled with lots of fun presents from his aunts and uncles and grandparents.  As you can see he LOVED his birthday.  He liked the cake, he loved the presents!  I cant believe he is 1!!!  He has been such a fun little guys.  I still miss him being a little cuddly baby.  Day after day he gets a little harder, a little more personality, and a lot more independence.  He is such a fun loving little guy.  He loves playing with Tage all day and following him around.  Tage will be sleeping and he will go to Tages door and bang on it because he wants Tage to get up to entertain him.  Cohen definitely thinks he is a big boy too.  We love this little(BIG) guy.

Cohen's First Birthday Pictures

One of my old friends I used to do hair with took these pictures of my boys and they turned out great! Despite it being freezing outside, and lets face it....taking pictures of 2 kids is a nightmare!! Anyways they turned out great! Love my cute boys.  Most days:)

CRUISE

                                                                       Allen Boys

                                                         Bret and Cindy

I am so far behind on any updates!  I feel like the last few months have flown by and been totally crazy and busy!  We went on our cruise the end of Feb. It was so much fun.  We went to St. Thomas, St. Marten, Princess Cays, and Grand Turk.  The weather was amazing.  It was so warm and sunny everyday.  We laid out, ate a ton, shopped, and had a good time with all the Allens.  We missed the boys so much, but it was so nice to sleep and relax! Here are a few pictures!

Glad January is OVER!!!!

I used to be obsessed with blogging but now I have pretty much gotten over that and it has now become a chore! Haha.  So...January 7th TJ got laid off.  Major bummer.  We have been living the emotional rollar coaster of being unemployed(which sucks) and working our butts off to pay bills!  Tj had worked for Transwest CU for several years and it was pretty shocking when he got laid off.  I started working a little bit more just to cover some things and for the last month I feel like I have been running around like crazy...He got a job a couple weeks ago at a company he used to work at and that 2 of his younger brothers work at as well.  This is his second week and he seems to really like it!  It has been a good change and will be a little more money then before( so we definatly cant complain!)  I think he will really enjoy working there and wont miss that bank at all!  We are getting ready to leave on our cruise next week and are so excited!! Cohen is such a sweetie, to make it so I won't miss him as much he has been pure HELL lately.  He is only thinking of me though...right?? :)  We will be gone for 8 days!  More then anything I really just want to SLEEP.  You know you are lame and have kids when you look forward to just sleeping longer then 3 hours at a time and past 7 every morning! WOHOO!  Anyways, thats about all thats going on with us...very eventful getting laid off and getting a new job in 5 weeks!:) So heres to a better FEB! Ill post on our cruise in a few weeks! :):)

Christmas 2010

We had such a fun Christmas this year!  It was so busy and I am glad its over!  On Christmas Eve we had a really fun day.  We went to In and Out with our best friends and the kids!  Then afterwards we went to the Gateway and did a little last minute shopping.  It was super busy there and there were so many good deals!!  After we finished up our shopping we headed to the Allen's.  We had Christmas Eve over there.  It was so much fun.  We played games, ate a ton of good food and the kids opened some presents.  We didnt get home til really late and just hurried and put the kids to bed.  Christmas morning we actually had to wake the kids up because we had to hurry and get out of the house and be on our way visiting our families.  The kids loved their presents...ofcourse.  The first thing we did was go to my parents house for breakfast and presents.  We got tons of presents and were totally spoiled.  We had such a good breakfast, orange rolls and breakfast cassorole! It was yummy and we had a good morning there.  Then we had to have Brindy back by one so we ran to Tjs parents house again.  We went and opened tons more presents and were totally spoiled again!  We dropped Brindy off and then went to Tangled with the Allen's.  We love that movie!!!!  Then after the movie we went back to my parents house for dinner...wow. Just typing this all our makes me tired thinking about our long couple of days!  Back and forth all day long!  But we had such a GREAT christmas!  We were so spoiled too:)  Glad its over but excited for next year already!!!

Christmas Party

Tj, Tage, and Cohen went to Payson on saturday to go to Great Grandma Warr( I guess its  great great for the boys) Christmas party.  She has it every year, I have never been since I am always stuck at work saturday but the boys got to sit on Santa's lap!(NOT Cohens favorite thing to do!)

Thomas The Train

                            Being under the bed with trains is much cooler, right?

                                              Best buds!:)

                                   Cohen likes it under the bed cause he can eat puzzle pieces without me knowing:)

So a few weeks ago Tage told me that all boys have Thomas the Train but him.  So sad.  He is very deprived.  I went to Toys R us to look for some and it was so expensive and I had already bought his Christmas presents.  I was talking to one of my clients about it and she said she had 2 huge boxes of stuff that her son had grown out of playing with.  I went and picked it all up yesterday and Tage has been in heaven ever since.  He played with them all day yesterday and this morning I woke up and he was in his room by himself playing with his trains and tracks!  It was so nice because he usually wakes up early and has to get me out of bed to watch cartoons with him.  Cohen loves the trains too.  He will crawl after them til he catches them.  I have a feeling we will get lots of years of playing out of these trains!  I was so lucky to get them all!
