I need to do a little catch up on my cute little kids. They will not stop growing and I have tried to make them :) My busiest little body is James, aka as "little money, zahzee, baubies, tiny power and JJ." He keeps Chad and me on our toes constantly. He climbs up everything and tries to escape out the front door and to the street as often as possible. He also loves to stand on chairs and stomp until they break (our count is at 2). He is obsessed with balls, especially kicking them and he LOVES his blankie (mostly for chewing). He runs now, no walking...and looks like a football player running down a field ready to plow over anyone in sight. Such a firecracker and so much fun.
He is always on my legs begging to be held so he can then point to any food in sight:)
Halle is so much fun and so much DRAMA. I just wait for her to come in the door from school and tell me the next BIG thing that happened at school that day. She also has her first crush on a boy named Luke...who has long hair to his chin :/ She writes him little notes and then shows me the things he writes back to her at school. Because of this Luke kid, Halle had determined that she is a Utah fan now and hates BYU. Geez, the things they pick up at school. I guess I am kindof a Utah fan too, but Cohen and Chad are going BYU strong. Halle is still loving to dance and sing and perform and she recently took up soccer. Every day she gets a new freckle on her nose and I am so proud to call her my daughter!
Cohen is his Daddy all over again. His life revolves around Chad and everything about Chad. He is a little charmer and loves to give compliments to people with a little grin on his face. He is very affectionate and requires alot of hugs, kisses and snuggles. Right now we are doing 4 hugs a day... He is very sensitive and can be rough and tough, wrestling on the ground one minuet and then in tears the next. And one more thing, just like Chad...he snores. Most of the time I end up sleeping in Halle's bed and he sleeps with Chad, so they can have a snoring fest together!
This is a picture of Cohen holding Dad's drink, wearing Dad's glasses, holding Dad's phone, wearing Dad's headphones and being cool...just like Dad.
