Moving along!

Things are continuing to be busy and fun around here. As of just this week(Aug 21) Fletcher has finally started to walk!!!!! This big boy is my latest walker, at 15 months. It has been so funny watching F try to get the courage and motivation to walk. Mostly, he just has been too lazy to care-heehee. For the last 4 months, F has been doing the most hilarious bear walk, and even though I am so glad my boy can walk, it is sad to see that funny walk go! F has been doing it so long, and has now become obsessed with cars. Fletcher will bear crawl with the car in his hand , then start to spin out as the car gets him moving too fast haha. Fletchie has just been so much fun to get to know this summer. He just figured out how to come down the stairs, so he feels so independent. He loves to crawl up to the playroom and find his brothers and play with cars, then when he is done, he will crawl back down and find me. He is such a happy fun boy and especially loves laughing at his big bro Hudson!

Just in the past couple of days he has started to say Mama! Wheewhooo!!!!! FINALLY:)

F is such an easy going guy, He will wake up and just chill in his crib and play. He loves playing with toys, and loves Mommy and Daddy. Shane likes to pretend to sleep on the ground, and every time F will come and slap him in the face. It makes the bigger boys crack up every time! Since Cass has been staying with us, he has shown a great interest in her as well. He is always looking up at her after he makes any move to see if she is smiling or looking at him.

Cooper is my lovey dovey separation anxiety boy. This kid does not want to leave my side. He sleeps with me every night, and has recently been leaving Primary as he "misses me"-argh! I am flattered, and secretly don't mind it, but I don't want it to limit him. Every night he and Hudson come and beg me to snuggle them to the point of exhaustion, when I give in and snuggle them. Then they leach themselves to me and demand that I rub their backs! One night I told Cooper I was not going to snuggle him, which caused him to beg more and more. After about thirty minutes he finally started saying, your breaking my heart Mama, your breaking my heart. At that, I decided to give in(cuz who wants a "bwoken heawted" adorable three year old right?) When I got up to to go and snuggle him, he started telling me I was pretty haha! He is really such a funny boy! He just started swimming lessons and the first day I had to literally sit on the side of the pool so he would stay in his class. Today he did much better, which makes me so happy, because I can see that he is really starting to enjoy himself! Beaumont has a great little pool, and the swimming lessons have been great. The boys are having lots of fun, and it gives us a lot of chances to snoop on our house. Cooper especially loves checking out the house. Today I got to meet my neighbour and I was thrilled to find out he had a three year old little boy as well! Yay for little buddies!

Cooper recently gave his first talk in Primary. What an experience. He sat in the "Talk" chair, then when it was his turn to speak he hid inside the pulpit and grunted in the microphone as he punched me. It was a glorious moment! Cooper LOOOOOOVES his big brother. It is my favourite to see them playing together. I just know my boy is going to be gutted when his big brother goes to all day school! Cooper loves to make Hudson laugh. The other night during night time prayers, Cooper asked to bless President "Monster" instead of President Monson, which had us all in an immediate laugh attack. Cooper loves to sit and watch America's Funniest Home Videos. He just cackles and cackles!

I just can't believe my big boy is off to full day school- waaaaaahhhhhh:( I am just going to miss this sweet boy of mine so stinkin much. Hudson is enrolled in French Immersion, so I am just praying that it will go well and that Hudsters will enjoy his new school. I sure hope he will click with his teacher. After last year, I have learned a great teacher can make such a difference. We have Hudson in swimming lessons as well, and he is doing great! With Cass being here, the boys have been off to the park, launchpad, Treehouse or elsewhere everyday. That and swimming lessons have totally tired the boys out! We went and got all of Hudson's school supplies and labelled them all up. So cute. Hudson still blows me away with his wit and smarts. He loves to do mazes and puzzles. I bought him a Maze book with 7 mazes in it, and he finished the entire book in about 30 minutes-ha! Really, Hudson's whole life right now revolves around video games. He loves, them, which provides us with currency, to get him to do when he needs to be doing...ie. eating his meals, reading, cleaning up, ect. ect. ect.

On to our house. Things are moving forward quickly. The main floor is already framed up! This week I went to Park lighting and got to pick out all of the lights in my house. It was FUN! They have so many cute lights, and had everything that I wanted. It really got me even more excited! Now we have everything all picked out. We truly feel so blessed. Being able to have such a beautiful home is a dream of mine, and really, we just feel so so thankful!
