Why is it that every time I post, I need to title it "Sorry it's been so long, heres the quick Update"????? It's always just a quick update!! I want to be a better blogger, I really do. . .but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. Maybe on the same day I learn to be a great scrapbooker. . .until then, update time it is again!

I just thought these were cute and funny of the boys and some yummy chocolate pudding.

Ta-Da!!! The awesome Pirate-Ship Cake I made for Evan's birthday!! Oh yes, I am a good mom.

We borrowed my dads awesome sprinkler contraption for the party. It was a hit!

Can't you just hear him thinking, "I have the coolest mom ever. She must love me a lot to make such an awesome cake." He can't say it, he can't say anything, but I'm sure he was thinking it.

Here's a few on Evans actual birthday.

He's listening to Oma and Papa wish him a Happy Birthday!

The boys were swimming in the neighbors backyard, and ended up playing Army Guys through their rows of corn. It was so funny! They all ended up covered in mud but they had a great time!

Here's Cohen being part of the Dragon in the play the kids did at Family Reunion.

He hadn't gone to the practice, so he didn't know what he was doing. We just told him to follow his cousin Toby. He didn't quite stop in time, and you can see him crashing into Toby here.

The dragon after it "Kicks the Bucket" - notice all the buckets on the ground. . .

Cohen and Levi played football together while all the big people played Ultimate Frisbee. Levi is a few years older, but they were both pretty dang good!!

"Look Mom, I'm a dalmatian!!" - direct quote from Cohen.

Potty Trained

BY THE WAY. . .Cohen is officially potty trained!!! Has been for a few weeks now!!! He even stayed dry on the 6 1/2 hour plane ride to Hawaii. We put a diaper on him for the trip, but he went once on the plane, once at the car rental place, and ended up at the condo dry dry dry!!! We've had a few accidents, but. . .I'LL TAKE IT!!! I'm so happy!!!

Jareds birthday. . .almost a month ago, I know. . .

Papa John was here on Jareds birthday, so we decided to go fishing up at Silver Lake (right by Brighton Ski Resort) and see if we could catch anything. . .Did we ever!!! It was the best day of fishing ever!! I don't think they had their lines out more than 10 seconds, and they'd get a bite, it was ridiculous!!! And a lot of fun. Cohen and Evan both caught their first fish, or rather, helped reel in their first fish. Now the only trouble is that Cohen has the wrong idea about fishing. He thinks that 'casting your line in the water and almost immediately reeling it it' is fishing. . .not 'cast your line into the water and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait, recast and wait some more, and finally go home with nothing'. He hasn't seen the boring side of fishing!!! It was really cute to see him fish with his daddy and Papa though. We ended up bringing home 10 trout, and that was after throwing a lot back!!

And then we saw so much wildlife you would have thought we were at the zoo. It was crazy!

Here's Cohen with his first fish ever! At this point we thought we were just lucky to have one, so we let him reel it in.

Papa helped Cohen catch this fish, so here they are together.

Here's Evans. I did take a picture of him reeling it in, but it was all blurry.

This one is cute of Jared and Cohen fishing together. (Jared had to wear my jacket because of the bugs, thats why its so tight!!)

The successful fishermen!!! If you're looking, you can see all those fish hooked onto the chain.

Cohen and Papa with thier catch.

All of a sudden, 2 moose came running through the field right next to us. They were running crazy, and kinda scary, but eventually settled into eating so we could walk back to our car. This is just a picture of one of them, but there were 2, I promise.

And then we saw a beaver swimming through the lake. . .

And then a deer came bounding by. . .can you see it bound? :)

And there were two MORE moose over by the parking lot! What?! Crazy!! Now my kids have a false sense of the great outdoors, thinking it's ton's of fish in an hour, plus all the wildlife you can handle, right?!

I have a ton to catch up on, but I had to write this down before I forget.

Cohen and I were just in the bathroom brushing his teeth, and he informs me. . .
"Mom, I like Spidermans, and Batmans, and Diego. . . .and girls like. . .Dora. . .and dancing. . .and pinks!!! You like pink mom."

West Bountiful 4th of July Parade. . .at the end of June!!!

I guess this is the pose I get when I tell Cohen to sit next to Evan and smile, right?!!

Cohen bringing back hoards of candy. . .aahhhh Taffy. . .perhaps you shall be my 'potty-training-motivator'. . .

Evan LOVED all of the music, he would stand up and jam every time a band or dance group came by. He even danced to the bagpipes!!!

It's never too soon to start in on that huge bag of candy.

After the parade we went to the carnival at West Bountiful Park. It was a lot of fun with a lot of free activities for the kids!!! Yay FREE!!!! There were also some bounce-house things that cost $, so we did spend a few dollars, but not many!!!

Cohen wanted to get his face painted so we waited in the long line, and of course he wanted to be a tiger. The squiggly lines around his face are supposed to be a hair-line, not messed up tiger-stripes for those of you who maybe couldn't figure it out!!!

Evan got to be a tiger too, more of the baby version I guess. By the time I got my camera out of the car to take pictures Evan had HAD IT!! Plus he had wiped off most of the orange coloring. But he's still cute, even when he's screaming in the sand at his mother to pick him up, and all she does is take his picture, right?!!

Soooo sleepy. . .

Cohen started Soccer & T-Ball!!!

So, we've officially started what will be years to come of soccer and baseball, right?! And we're excited! We signed Cohen up to play with the Woods Cross Summer Rec program, which is just 3 weeks long, 2 days a week, so not an official team or anything, but exciting nonetheless!! He was so excited to get started, and of course he's a superstar!! This kid was born to play sports!!

Here he is getting ready to play. Notice the awesome shin-guards I got him at a garage sale for 25 cents!!

After he got his 'team' shirt, waiting to be put on a team!!! He was so excited!!

He got worn out after about 45 minutes and 'hid' under the picnic table so he wouldn't have to finish. The next time we made sure to eat a big breakfast so he wouldn't run out of energy.

Why are you so happy?

Cohen is not the greatest at answering questions quite yet. You ask him "Cohen, why are you laughing?" and he responds, "I just laughing mom." Stuff like that. So, the other day, Cohen woke up while Jared was getting ready for work, so he got him out of bed and brought him in to lay down by me. He was just laying there smiling and smiling at me and so I said, "Cohen, why are you so happy? What are you smiling about?" And he says, "'Bout Jesus." Jared and I just looked at each other and started laughing because our son is so cute!!!
