Mr Fix It!

Cooper and Beckham LOVE to help fix things. Especially when it means they get to use tools. Grandpa needed help fixing a leak under the sink, then Dad need help hanging up a shelf above my laundry closet and lastly we did an FHE (Family Home Evening) on using tools. The boys had so much fun being helpers.

Water Fun

While at Grandma and Grandpa Hamilton's we spent A LOT of time in the pool. Beckham went from not wanting to get off the steps to swimming in no time. They loved the slide and jumping off the side of pool. They (including cousin Easton) could not resist stripping down to thier underware to run through the sprinkers. It was so nice to get out of the 110 degrees Vegas weather that the 95-100 degrees up there felt great. Not to mention that Grandma/Grandpa have HUGE trees troughout the yard that create great shade.

Camping

Alright, finally I am ready to do some updates. Here is the first one. The boys and I went to my parents fora couple of weeks during July. While there we went camping in the Uinta's. Here is a slide show of some of the fun we had.

Update

I cannot believe that it is already JULY! It is Hot Hot in Las Vegas so we are keeping cool anyway we can. Not much has been going on in our household. On Monday my friend Bethany called me and said that she won tickets to see the premier showing of "Eclipes" at the Palms. So Wednesday morning we got babysitters and off we went. It was really fun and I thought they did a good job with the movie. The only other thing we have going on is girls camp next week. Grandma Darlene and cousin Kasia is nice enough to come and watch the boys while Chet is at work. I am really excited to go and be sill for with the young women. I am not one for camping so lucky for me it is only 3 days. More to follow on that when I get back. Until then Happy 4th of July!!

Bring on the Pink!!

I am now 21 weeks and yesterday I went for my big ultrasound. Everything looks good and they were able to determine that we are going to be adding a baby girl to our family. We are excited and nervous at the same time. I think that pretty much sums up our feeling about having a third baby all together. The boys can hardly wait for thier sister to come join us. The boys give her hugs and kisses regularly. Beckham has sung to her a few times which is really sweet. I am excited to have a shopping buddy. We have not come up with a name yet so if you have some names you like and would not mind us using let us know. Bring on the Pink!!

Family Reunion

Memorial Day Weekend we hosted a Glover Family Reunion. We started off the morning by going to the Southern Nevada Railway for a 45 minute train ride. The conductors were so friendly and knowledgeable about the train. Then we made our way to a favorite pizza place in Boulder City. After lunch we went to the Clark County Museum and looked at how Las Vegas has changed since pretty much the beginning of time. There were replica home to view that had wax people inside them. The people really creeped Cooper out. After the museum we were ready to go back to our house and relax a little before our BBQ dinner.

After church on Sunday we packed up our dinner and headed out to Mt. Charleston for some hiking and a BBQ. The hike turned out to be too steep for the younger boys and Grandparents but the others went on. After sometime of hiking they made it to the Mary Jane falls where they saw a waterfall and a cave. Once they came back down we decided that it was too cold now to BBQ at Mt Charleston so we came back to our house to eat. Glover reunion is not complete without a corn eating contest. Cooper had been so excited about the contest and low and behold he won! Monday morning we went to the park and Grandpa taught us how to play horseshoes. I am not very good, but luckily I was on Grandpa's team so we still won. We really had a fun time. Not all of Chet's siblings could make it and we missed those who were not there. Aside from that I think everything was very fun! I am so grateful for a wonderful family!

Cooper's Birthday

Cooper turned 5 on May 15th. He wanted to have a pizza and pinata party at home with a few friends. We made homemade pizza, played pin the pepperoni on the pizza and of course the pinata. We had a great time and the Cooper's friends brought him some great presents which he has loved playing with since then.

We are so thankful that Cooper is a part of our family. He brings a lot of energy and excitement to our home. He has a great ability to lead others and we hope that he will develop and put those leadership skills to good use as he grows. He is very determined and goes for the things he is after. Cooper is ready and excited to start Kindergarten. He is anxiously waiting for his chance to be a big brother again to come. We love you Cooper and are so grateful that you are our son!
