Last weekend my Aunt Ann came out for a visit and she got to meet Cooper for the first time. My Uncle Chris came on Monday too. We got to hang out with them a lot, which was really fun. Annie ate up the kids and they both let her! Savannah loves the attention and especially loved playing hide and seek with Annie and Savannah's reaction when Annie would find her was absolutely hilarious. She would just giggle and scream.


On Saturday we went to the mall and headed straight for Build A Bear. Savannah got to pick out her bear, help stuff it and give it a heart, bathe it (4 times!), pick out clothes (which Mommy really did because Savannah was too preoccupied with bathing her bear), and then giving her a name. The bear got some Disney princess pj's, a grooming set with brush and hairdryer, a cute little preppy pink outfit and some shoes and bows. She named her bear Ariel. She has been sleeping with Ariel since she got her. She loved watching all the other kids who were getting bears and wanted to help bathe their bears too.




Cooper at the mall, looking like he's ready for his first round of golf. The kids both got adorable clothes from Gap, Gymboree, & Children's Place. I got some new shoes too! Thank you Annie & Mom & Dad! We ate at Cheesecake Factory too. Delish! So much food, but so good.



Cooper got a Build A Monkey, and his outfit was a Jazz uniform with tennis shoes and he came with a basketball. We named him after Daddy's favorite Jazz player, Kirilenko. We'll see if Cooper can say that one! So on Saturday night we were hanging out at my parents and I got the bright idea to put the Jazz outfit on Cooper! So stinking cute. It actually fit him! He had the sweet John Stockton short shorts!




I think we have a winner! Here I come Utah Jazz!





The kids with there stuffed animals.








On Wednesday we went over to my parents house and Ann & Chris brought my Great Gran down to visit. She got to see the kids and eat them up. Savannah swam, and wanted Uncle Chris to swim with her. She kept calling him and wanting him to do things for her. Demanding! But she had so much fun with him. He grilled hot dogs for us and we had a nice lunch and all visited.

















It was so nice to be able to see my Aunt and Uncle and Granny Goose, as we call her. The kids got totally spoiled by everyone and were given LOTS of attention. Which means, I got some breaks. Fun fun fun.

Chris & I had an awesome time with those two precious little angels. We will treasure all the memories.
Rashel, you look fabulous! You and Carter are amazing parents. We feel very blessed to be a part of your family.
I'm so glad we were able to bring Gran down. The picture of her and Cooper melts my heart. Gran talked about the visit all the way home.
Love and miss you all.
Annie :-)
