April Showers

More like April snow storms, but there has been a good amount of rain mixed in there too. :)  we have been having fun inside and Kyle finally got crawling down.  in the video he is going pretty slow but that was a few days ago. Now he is super speedy, and a lot less needy when it comes to separation anxiety.  Which is a plus for all concerned.  On Saturday we did the Springville Stakes 5k Run and not be weary.  we had a lot of fun.

 Adam loved the umbrella

 Kyle was content to chill in the stroller the whole time

Black Berries

I think the pictures tell this story just fine.

Fun at Chuck E Cheese's

As a family we have found that we do really well with motivation if we have some incentive.  So as incentive for one of our family goals (daily Scripture study) we had a reward of a trip to Chuck E Cheese's.  Adam was super excited and we had a ton of fun. 

 Kyle was a Cheese head

 Adam earned a lot of tickets and was really happy to get this "star"

 Adam and Kyle had fun riding a lot of the cars together.

Adams own token, he was a pro at putting them in the slots.  

If we reach our reading goal next time, we are going on a  camping trip!

we love babies!

Didn't really have any creative way to announce this, though we did tell people on April fools day.  We are expecting! baby Cook # 3 is due by the end of November and we couldn't be happier.  Last time it took a little while to get Kyle so we are happy that we didn't have to play the waiting game with this one.  I am excited to have a winter baby too, having the boys both born in July,this will be a new experience.  I am still nursing Kyle and as a result I haven't had any morning sickness, soon enough though he will have to be weaned and I just hope I am far enough along when that happens.

Easter Saturday

On the day before Easter Sunday we have a nice celebration. This keeps Easter Sunday pretty reverent and special.  We color eggs Friday night and have an Easter egg hunt.  We hide one golden egg that is the most special... it is empty.  This reminds us that on Easter morning the tomb holding the saviors body was likewise empty.   Both Saturday and Sunday were very special days for us.
