his simple life

Two things:
1. he's been preparing for general conference by brushing up on his apostles. he hung the pics himself, cut and hung the pics we found that go with each one and has played the song a million times.
When he was tired of singing, he pulled out his instruments. The "guitar," (an old ukulele)...


and a couple of recorders. I'm glad he enjoys such things. He couldn't wait for conference today. He sat very still listening to the beginning of the second session where they sustained the apostles and got so excited when he heard all of the familiar names.

2. about those training wheels...



I took a trip to the grocery store and when I came back, he could do this! I didn't doubt his ability. I knew he would pick it up easily, but I admit I wondered if he'd be scared.



Unlike his mother, he is not a chicken! He was so proud and couldn't wait to show me his new skill.


he brings me joy inside.

Yea for the big boy! That's amazing. I feel like four is really young to be riding sans training wheels. And I can't believe he knows all of the apostles and actually grasps some of the importance of conference. What a cutie. Way to go Cooper.

That is great riding, Cooper. And knowing the apostles, way to go.

WaHoo Cooper! I'm glad you liked conference. Would you call me and sing me your song? I would love to hear it. I'm so proud of you riding your bike w/o training wheels!! What a big boy. I love you!

So great. Wow that is totally awesome! And Dent doing an ironman is fantastic too. (I'm getting caught up on all my blogging)

And so another generation begins to prepare for the iron man--one spiritual and one physical. Good job Mom.

WAHOO Coop!!! Your mom didnt't learn to do that until she was like 8. I am going to call and talk to you about this!

continuing Auntie Kate's thought...

and then when she was like 16 she was riding her bike down a mountain when she launched over the front of her handlebars and had a totally awesome wipe out. It still makes me laugh HARD at random moments when it pops into my head. Yep, you keep an eye on that mom of yours Coop, she's a wild one!
