Swim Lessons!

Well this month has been pretty uneventful, so I had to talk about the one thing somewhat fun for us and that is going to swim lessons. Halle started out very terrified of the water...even in the bath tub she would freak out if she had water on her chin. But now she is a super star and can go all the way under the water by herself. Hey it's a start.

Halle has been a great sport and is so proud of her bubbles and kicking. And I get to mingle with other moms on the side lines. Cohen just.....chills.

2 funny things

Real quick I have to say that 2 funny comments were made today, by me, in furry.
The first was when I was happily blogging and Halle kept coming in and bugging me. Finally I snapped, "Halle STOP IT. MOMMY IS BLOGGIN!!!!." I had to laugh after because it sounded so stupid.
The second comment was made when I asked Halle to hang up her coat. She replied, "I am not mommy's helper today." My reply was, "You will pick up your coat or you can move out." I was serious and just laughed so hard after I said it to a 3 year old.

Little bundles of joy!

Meet the new addition to our family! Our niece and nephew, Brady and Olivia came into this world very tiny (under 4 pounds) but full of spirit. We are so happy for Shelby and Christina. They are going to be awesome parents. We cannot wait to get to Arizona and see them. Love you guys

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter this year because Grandma Noakes and Aunt Nicole came to visit. Halle had a great time finding her Easter basket and we had a great Easter feast. Grandma took lots and lots of pictures. Here is a sneak peak of some of them.

Cohen's Surgery

Hey Everyone. For those of you who hadn't heard, my little baby Cohen had surgery Monday at PCMC. He was born with a condition called Laryngomalacia which is usually no big deal and most kids tend to just grow out of it by 18 months. However, Cohen was

having obstructive sleep apnea with it and so we needed to surgically have support structures in his airway tightened. He did very well and recovery went better then expected. He is such a joy in our life and has a very strong spirit.

Halle's 3rd Birthday

Yippi! Our little girl turned 3 on Saturday. It was a very fun day because she actually understood what was going on. She requested a purple barbie cake about two months prior to the event, and then asked her "Nona" to make it for her. My mom had quite the adventure pulling that one off. It took her and my dad 3 hours to get the frosting the right color. Grandpa Noakes came into town also and we had a big family party. We went swimming at the South Davis recreation center. Halle was even brave enough to go down the water slide...which is a first because she is usually very timid about everything. SHe loved the water and had tonz of fun with her cousins. Thanks to all the family members who came and supported her! The final ceremony of the day was when Halle cut her Binkys off with scissors to commemorate her advancement to age three. Mom was not too sad to see them go.

The Halle & Cohen Show

I guess I need to change the name of this bolg to plain old Halle & Cohen. I am really obsessed with them. Cohen started to roll over and has become a little more picky, especially since Grandma Noakes came to visit and gave him the royal treatment! . He is also balding, but I think it is just to make room for his future blond hair. Halle is my little helper. I am amazed at how much she can do around the house and assist me with Cohen. I was burning dinner the other night and ran to put out the flames and Cohen was screaming and I said, "Halle, feed him!" She sat down on the floor next to him and gave him the entire bottle. Amazing. I see why people want to have a lot of children...little slaves....I remember being one!
