Happy Birthday PJ!

Holy Cow! The day finally came! I think we had been waiting for this day for at least 4 months. It seems like everybody has had a birthday before it was PJs turn. I think it all started in april with Kash's birthday then moms then about 10 other parties before we could celebrate his. PJ would ask at least once a week when his birthday was, we even made a few cakes or cupcakes and blew out candles just to pretend because the wait was getting a little long. Now it has come and gone, but it was a really fun day. Pj seems to be growing up so fast and saying some really funny things. On sunday (his birthday) I told him that he needed to take a nap before the party started and he closed his eyes trying so hard for about 1 1/2 minutes and then opened them and in a begging tone said, "I want to party it up" after all he had been so patient so far. He starts preschool next week and just can't wait. As you can see he just loves superheros spiderman and Dash ( the incredibles) his favorites. We had a fun party with lots of family and friends. Thank you all!

Grandpa Morris 89th Birthday

Grandpa Morris is 89 What a great party! thanks Jewel and family. It really is amazing how close the Cook family is. We just love Grandpa Cook and all of the wise advice that he gives.

Saturday August 16 - This little Horned Toads name is Clifford. The Poulsons are so kind to always think of the boys and catch them creatures. We had so much fun with this little guy, Kash even liked him, just didn't like to hold him. Pj mangled and held him every chance he got. We made a little home for it inside a tupperware box and had him outside, but I think the neighbors dog got away with him. PJ is still very upset that Clifford is gone, Joseph even thought about finding one off of the internet for his birthday!

The Allred Family Campout

Last weekend was the annual Allred Family get together at Home Sweet Home. The Boys loved getting down and dirty and being outside every day! we went for a big ranger ride and found some puppies at one of the sheepherders camps. It was so fun to be with all of the cousins and my brothers and sisters. Also just to relax and have fun with none of the worries of home. we came home on Sunday to go to Mark and Nanalees homecoming and then went back up on the mountain. The boys just love animals as you can see. Kash will give them all hugs and kisses. Oh the innocence of a child! PJ - Kayden - Kash

PJ drove his little 4-wheeler for about 2 1/2 to 3 miles until the battery ran low. He thought he was cool driving through all of the mudd.

Our Newest Addition To The Crazy Farm!

On Saturday the 2nd of August Joseph had a great idea! Or so he thinks. He thought it would be so fun for PJ and Kash to have some baby calves to feed and raise. At first I disagreed because of course I knew who would have to take care of them and make sure they got fed. Well needless to say we have only been married going on 8 years and he can still look at me just right and get his way. PJ and Kash do love them and are big helpers when it comes to feeding them. we got 4 of them but now we only have 3 they are almost 2 weeks old and doing really well. the black and white Holstein is PJs and he named it Brown Sugar.

We are enjoying the kids so much this summer. They seem to keep us busy. They both love being outside. We have tried to go camping as much as possible and just enjoy the time that we have together with them at this age. They do like to argue over toys and Kash is getting to the point where he is starting to fight back. They just love this sweet Cat - Lilly (tiger lilly)
