Our Leprechaun and a Pot of Gold

Since Josh went back to work, Cooper and I have been keeping ourselves busy - It always seems to work out that way. Not only has Coop been growing like a weed, but so has his vocabulary! He can say so many words it's hard to keep track. His teeth are now coming in on a daily basis, but it's so hard for me to believe he's actually growing into a little boy.

Pretending to be Papa Dave.

Playing hide and seek.

Driving a boat - He refused to get off this thing!

We're fortunate enough to live in a world full of wonderful technology, so every night before bed Cooper and I FaceTime with Josh - It's my absolute favorite time of day. Cooper usually runs around like a mad man until he's ready to sleep and says "ni nite" and "buh bye" and gives Dad kisses - it warms my heart every single time.

Kissing Dad goodnight.

My mother-in-law, Theresa, and Sam came into town for a visit a couple weeks back, so we spent the day doing what girls do best, shopping! 

Eating at Pei Wei, Mmmm!

Coop loving on Uncle Sam.

As seen posted already, we had Cooper's 18 month pictures taken in Boulder City. During one of our stops of the photo shoot, these little creatures decided to make an appearance.

Big Horn Sheep!

The next week, Sarah, my sister-in-law, came to stay with us for a week during her Spring Break. It's so nice having her around, Cooper and I both absolutely adore Aunt Sarah!

Showing Aunt Sarah his teeth!

Lounging in his bedroll. 

Chillin' at Star Nursery.

Saint Patricks Day has finally rolled around, and man were we busy! First stop was the parade on Water Street. All the kids lined the road waiting for goodies to be tossed their way.

Chowing on some donuts.

Cheese!

All of the kids got getting horns from the concession stand and Aunt Amanda insisted Cooper needed one too, Thanks Amanda, I'll remember this ;) 

Auntie showing Cooper how to work his horn.

He eventually got the hang of it.

I LOVE these kids.

They're the sweetest siblings I've ever met.

So focused on watching the parade.

Angry boy because I took his horn!

But he eventually got over it.

After the parade we spent some time at the Busch's flying kites.

Cooper chasing the girls.

Devi & Elle watching the kite fly high!

We spent Saturday afternoon at Boulder Bowl for Tanner's 6th Birthday Party. It was Cooper's first time bowling and he had a blast!

They love each other.

Picking out a bowling ball.

Pushing the ball down the lane.

Cheering for himself for hitting a pin.

Chowing down on a cake pop.

Oh just hanging out, no big deal.

As always, Cooper still loves his bath time - he was born a water baby. 

Bath time for the boy.

During our errands this week we made a pit stop at Bass Pro and picked up a baseball hat for the little dude. He thinks he's a stud, probably because he is.

My cheesy little monster.

Now for the pot of gold - As some of you may know, Josh and I recently started looking for property around where he's working so we can eventually move, well we've found it! I flew up to Montana 2 weeks ago and met Josh to take a look at it - We both fell in love. We've officially signed our papers and paid for our 20 acres outside of Miles City, MT. I can't wait to start designing and building my house - it's a dream come true for us both! We're finally going to move out of this valley and raise our family in a beautiful place.

Watch out Montana - here we come!
