Monkeys and Ladybugs

So My friend Jen who is a fabulous photographer, decided that she wanted to get our babies together and take some pictures of them in there costumes. Ironically, when we showed up for the pictures the boys showed up with identical monkey cosumes and the girls were both dressed up as ladybugs. What are the chances? Jen always does an amazing job and I am so grateful to have her as my friend she is constantly doing nice things for others.Love you Jen!

Summer break update

So for those who read my blog on a regular basis, you probably have noticed how I decided to take a summer break from blogging. Although this summer has been the busiest summer yet, I would definatly have to say that it has been one of the best so far. Earlier this year Josh picked up a new job and we were finally able to get into our first house. (which required moving more than once.) In the meantime we have been taking short trips to St. George and Vegas. We also had the privilege of welcoming one of the newest members to the family Seth Arland Bonham, though I regret not having a picture on hand:( Trust me when I say he is absolutely adorable! Congrats Aaron and Katie! Cohen once again, continues to amaze us daily. He now is walking around and saying words like Da Da, Hi, Yay and makes funny faces and noises at us upon our request.He loves to swim, eat, climb the stairs, get into cupboards and give lots of hugs and kisses. Oh, and did I mention that he loves to eat? He finally got his tubes in his ears which helped him get onto a regular sleeping pattern at night, which has helped keep my sanity as well.... HALELUAH! Josh has especially enjoyed the warmer weather, (that is for the days that are warm.) Lately he has become more and more involved with his newest hobby golfing and is enjoying his recently "new" golf clubs. Although lately money has been tight and times have been tough, we are enjoying life to its fullest and are so grateful for all the many blessings that have come our way.

This goes to my bro's!

I consider myself one of the luckiest girls in the world to have been born to a family where I have six wonderful brother's and one wonderful brother-in-law. Growing up, it has had it's pro's and con's from bruises and broken teeth to over-indulgent hugs and kisses. They have molded me to who I am today and they have been such a wonderful example to me. Before Josh and I started dating I had a list of attributes and qualities that I picked out from each brother and I told myself that when I settle my husband must have these qualities, sure enough I married my sister-in-law Brittnie's brother. I have always told myself that every girl needs an older brother which is why I am so happy to have had Cohen first, I know he will be such a great big brother (when the time comes). Now as we are all older I sometimes tend to get sad and see how everyone moves on but I can't help to find more happiness in the situation in knowing that nothing but a great outcome has comne from it. Not only do I have six awesome older brothers but I also have five (hopefully six in the working)amazing sister-in-laws and fifteen beautiful nieces and nephews. I couldn't be more grateful.

So I have been seriously been meaning to update my blog for some time now but things have been a little hectic. He is now eight months old.He loves crawl and climb and eat and before we know it,he will be up and running.(I wish they didn't grow so fast) Lately I have been trying to take the time that I have with him and cherish every bit of it because I truly can't believe that the past eight months have gone by that fast. Here are some more pictures of our coe bugg that my wonderful friend Jennifer Wheatley took. She is such a great photographer and always does such a good job. Thanks Jen

6 months and growing...

So here is our little Coe bug six months later. He is growing so fast it literally makes our eyes water. We can't believe that a half a year has gone by. Although he is still small, he is very big for his age. His first doctors appointment he was in the 25th percentile and now he is in the 80th. He loves to eat! He is getting so coordinated, he loves to roll around and sit up while he plays with his toys. Every day he looks more and more like his Dad, the resemblance amazes me everytime I look at him. We are enjoying him to the fullest and couldn't be prouder parents.

Christmas Cheer

This holiday season we got together as a family and had a pajama party( Thanks to my wonderful Mom who worked so hard to put all those cute pajamas together.) I will look forward to this party every year, we had so much fun! Not to mention the food was fantastic... After filling our stomachs, we all got dressed in our new jammies. The little ones all prepared a nativity scene for us and then we read the all time favorite "The Night Before Christmas." Afterwards, we sang Christmas songs and munched on the most delicious sugar cookies. This is one event that i wish we could celebrate all year long although then, I would not have anything to look forward to.
