We're BACK (-:

Hey There! Ok, so it's been 2 1/2 months... but we're still alive and well. Little Tyler isn't so little any more, he's walkin' and talkin' (only the important words "dada, woof woof, vroom vroom, mama, all done). I have a lot of fun with this little friend of mine. I never realized how much I could love being with a little 14 month
old (-:
Luke is doing well and wonderful, at this moment he's vacuuming up Tyler's belly with the vacuum hose (male bonding... I think).
And I am doing the mommy thing, and working one time a week. Lately I got on a domestic kick because I had a lot of produce from our garden,... so it turned in to canning 65 Quarts of Salsa, Marinara, Tomatoes, Apple sauce, pie filling...) I never thought I would be that domestic, it's strangely addicting, I was pretty proud of my canning so I left it out for 1 week to admire it. (-:
Other than all that, We loved Conference, I went to see my family in UT. My sister Lauren is engaged to a great guy, My Brother Jared married a wonderful Girl, We are sad that winter is here, and life is going well!
We got family pics taken, here are my favorites (Tyler looks so sweet, but really, he was a little terror the whole time) Marissa did a great job (-:

Summer fun, 4th of July, graduation and a 1st birthday...

Ok, I have been a bad blogger... It's been a great summer so far! We are loving the beautiful weather and the friends and family! Since it's been a while... I'll tell ya a few highlights of our summer...
Tyler's Birthday was yesterday! I love this little boy so much and don't know what I ever did without him... (wow life was a lot easier back then)(-: He has been so wonderful to me and Luke. He is our sunshine!Yep... That's my Birthday Boy. I think this was the perfect way to spend his Birthday!


I made Tyler a Alligator Cake (-: I think it actually turned out ok! FamilyFun.com is Awesome, it's actually a Bundt Cake!

He is a total BOY. He loved being burried in the sand, we gave him a sand mermaid tail (-:

Birthday Boy swimmin' in the river with Grandma Bernie and Aunt Michele--He loved it!

Here's Tyler Chillin' with Grandpa Dave! It was a great B-day!

I graduated with my BSN in nursing, I've been taking online classes the last 1 1/2 years, and did it! I couldn't have done it without my Husbands continued support and my baby's wonderful Naps! Thanks!

Ileen and Dave Thanks for your support at graduation! (they are the ones taking all the pictures!)

We love the 4th of July in Rupert!!!

Here are the "Coats Man" Triathalon Participants (a family triathalon)... I was sore for about a week (-: We did get free shirts though (-: It was so fun!

Tyler and I in Boise, we went to an amazing splash park, I want one in Burley!

We visited the family in Boise. We Love YOU guys!

My wonderful mom and dad, and the great City of Rocks

My two favorite boys! Tyler was a trooper... so was Luke carrying him.

Here is Tyler soakin' up the sun in his awesome $5 swimming pool.

Hey there! All is well here. We are SOOOOOO happy that it is so beautiful outside. Luke and I are great! Tyler is so fun these days (after the ear infection, eye infection, cold, lethargy, and hives went away). He is always so excited to see me or Luke, or food that he pretty much hyperventilates.

Ok, Tyler is totally at that age... What's up with this? He goes to one drawer, removes everything one by one, and then goes to the next place. Highlights around the house are: The pantry, My sock drawer, His diapers, the remote, Cell phone chargers, the printer, and the list goes on. (-:

This is the best thing I have ever bought! I recommend it to all the mothers out there! Tyler and I have been exploring the world (-: in our own little way. He absolutely loves it.


So, Luke got Domestic one day and made me "La Bandera Dominicana" (A Dominican dish he had on his mission)I was so impressed!

Tyler and I went to Woman's Conference in UT. Ok Ty didn't go. He played with Grandma. It was so good to see my precious family!

Emily and Max came to Visit, So good to see you guys!!! We love you and miss you and want you to be our next door neighbors!

It's a wonderful life

It's a wonderful Life!! We've had a great last few weeks. Here are a few highlights (-:

Here is my wonderful Husband. He had a B-day this last week. I am so glad to have him, and the wonderful life he has provided for me. I love my hubby.

We hosted a Murder Mystery Party (a game like Clue) for Luke's B-day. It was really fun! The theme was a 1957 High School Reunion. Here is our 50's style!

Here is the group (there were twice as many people, but we took the picture after people left...) So CUTE (-:

My family came to visit this weekend, it's so fun to see them! Here is Aunt Michele.

Tyler enjoyed the decorations (-:

Here is Luke and Tyler, my two wonderful Boys!


It's been so beautiful outside!

The other day I walked into Tyler's room and he had caught his Mobile in his mouth, I couldn't stop laughing, he's like a little fish (-:

I took Tyler to the park, it was so fun to see his excitement! He's so fun!
