Michael Jackson in 2001

I thought I'd add some comments explaining some of the pics..

Making brownies, he was in heaven.

Cohen likes to sit at the piano and play just like grandma. He HAS to have the piano light on, music out, and now his new thing is wearing grandmas glasses! It's so funny, he even wants me to turn pages for him. My mom has tons of cheap reading glasses laying around the house, but I just found out that those are actually her nice ones... whoopsies.

Yo Gabba Gabba. He is obsessed!

Yes, I am alive

So, I pretty much suck at blogging, and as of late, basic communication. Here's an update on us...

Cohen is doing really good. He's 18 months now, and he's huge! He says tons and tons of words like basketball, milk, night night, bath time, good girl (dogs), stroller, shoes, jacket, etc. His two favorite things are basketball and going on walks... he treats his stroller like it's his pet or something, it's so funny! He says bye bye to it when he gets out and we put it away. He is still going to daycare and he loooves it. I have been thinking only sending him one day a week because it is so so so expensive, but I just can't get around to it... seriously he has so much fun there, and he has little buddies that he gets excited to play with. Since Trav and I are so busy, it's really nice that he can still get some interaction with other kids. I wish I could do all the mommy and baby yoga, play groups, yada yada but I don't really have the time for that.

My mom and I have swine flu. Not really, but we think we do! It's going around my work (duh, it's a hospital) but there have been two people I work closely with that were out with it. So a trip to the doctor this afternoon may be in order for me...

I am still working full-time and going to school. I'm taking it easy (hah) and only taking two classes... Stats and Chem. It's not as awful as it sounds, I actually really like both classes. I'm still at SLCC. I will probably transfer to U of U next Spring. Right now I get enough in grants to cover my tuition at SLCC and then some... so I'm getting most of my pre-reqs for nursing out the way now.

Trav is working and going to school this summer as well. Just one class for him though. Once I go part-time at work he will be able to take more classes. We want to make sure that Cohen isn't missing us, or us missing him... And yep, Trav and I are back together, and he is living with me. My parents are amazing and are letting us live here as long as we need to... which is pretty much until I graduate.

My friend Sarah and I are planning a trip to Moab, so if anyone is up for some mountain biking, hiking, and possibly a day river trip let me know!! We are going after summer semester ends and before fall starts... not sure when that is yet.

It's been so effing WET here. It seriously has been pouring for like a week... FINALLY it's nice and sunny today. I thought the world was ending there for a minute..

I'll get around to posting pictures and cute videos of Cohen later on...

Unpleasant dreaming...

Last night I had a dream. I was at a wedding for... someone... from my old neighborhood...at one of these:

These people were there...

And this 'world-renowned' junior drill team performed...

WTF? What kind of awkward mess is that?

Yuck. Lots of things/people I do NOT want in my dreams. Thanks.

Things I want...

And this awesome little kid piano for Cohen, he would LOVE this.. it's so cute!

That's all... I really never have anything interesting to say, do I?

White Sand Dunes

How cool is that?! That is SAND... specifically the White Sand Dunes of New Mexico.

I MUST go there.

St. George

So, St. George was St. George. We didn't get into town until around midnight because our car took a crap in Lehi. (THANKS Horner's!) We decided to just rent a car and keep going...

Me, looking ecstatic.

I forgot how HOT it is down there. It was only 70 but the sun was blazing.

Travis and Cohen dunking the ball...

They were rocking out on their horses...

Alright. That's it for now...

First post...

OK! I finally started a stupid blog...:) Well, Cohen and I are living in Salt Lake, Travis is here too. Lately our lives have consisted of school, work, and a little bit of play. It's still pretty cold here, but I can't wait until summer! I'm not doing school full-time this summer, so I'm looking forward to spending more time with Cohen.

We're going to St. George this weekend. My dad, mom, and Michael are driving down Thursday. Travis, Cohen and I are driving down Friday. Cohen is walking now so it will be fun to see him and his cousin Jack play

This is them a few months ago when Christi came up to visit... sizing each other up!

I'm kind of nervous to see how well they get along. Hopefully things don't get too crazy... we'll see!

Anyway, we are probably going to Zions, so I'm really excited for that!

So I'm going to go find some picture to post!
