Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from the Pehrson Family!

Can you believe that Christmas has came and gone already? I can't believe it!

This year we were able to stay home and have our own little Christmas! I loved it! I loved getting to sleep in my own bed and put the Christmas presents away as we opened them. But I do have to admit, I think I was a little more organized in the buying Christmas presents when I knew I had to have them all packed, wrapped and hidden before we went to Delta.

The Weekend before Christmas we went to the city for both our family Christmas parties. We went to the Pehrsons that saturday morning and then the Fisher/Mathews that night in SLC. We had a great time! We had lots of fun playing with the Pehrson cousins and opening presents and then seeing the lights at temple square and a fun night at the hotel with the Mathews cousins. We were regular city bums that weekend.

Dallie Jo was so fun this year (she is always fun) but this year you could tell she was really getting into the Christmas traditions. When we went to see Santa she really studied him and wasn't so sure if he was the real one. She really enjoyed getting up in the morning and looking for her Elf Krystal. And on the one night that Krystal forgot to move (oops!) she sat and thought and thought of a reason why she wouldn't have went to see Santa, it had to have been because Cooper was Naughty, definitely now because she was naughty!

All she wanted from Santa was an Anna Doll from Frozen and some frozen earrings. She was dead set on getting these items and never once changed her mind. She would see something else that she wanted and would say, "I'm going to ask for that next year!"

My little Cooper was quite the present opener. She would open the ones she wasnt suppose to open and go play with other stuff when she could actually open others. So by the end of the present opening, Dallie would just open hers and Coopers. Dallie didn't seem to mind and neither did Coop.

Merry Christmas EVERYONE!

Pehrson Update

Pehrson Update:

Jo made the BIG decision to get her ears peirced. IT. WAS. A. BAD. IDEA! She has done great with them since but the actual peircing was terrible. She seriously would have walked out of the doctors office with one ear done. I had to litterally lay on top of her to get the second one done. There was alot of screaming, kicking and lots of tears but she loves them now!

This year was our Delta Thanksgiving. We made a fast and furious trip south for a great Thanksgiving Dinner. But boy did we have fun!

While down there we had a fun little birthday party for the babies and enjoyed a fun night playing games with Cody's siblings... Lets just say I thought Cody was going to have a stroke from laughing so hard!

 Cooper has decided she likes to be the little boss lady around the house. She rules the older kids around and usually gets her way. And when she deosn't get her way, she throws herself back and screams... and there are usually real tears involved! Little diva!

Dallie Jo had her first dance performance for a fund raiser a couple of weeks ago. She was pretty cute! Just a count behind everyone but at her age it's still cute. Her next preformance in January then she has a competition in April.... Yeah I'm not sure if I'm ready to be a dance mom!

I have yet another birthday, I'm about to the 'and holding' age! AWE! 29 next year! Like always Cody surprised me with a beautiful flower arrangement that I get to add to the other pretty ones he's given to me in the past. Lets be honest, I do the decorating but he buys it. He's pretty good at knowing what I like.

Happy Birthday Coop!

Today is my Sweet Cooper Rose's Birthday!

As I woke up this morning I couldn't help but reflect back to the night she was born.

My day started with my regular, every other day doctor appointment. The day before was 11/11/13 and I remember thinking how cool it would have been to go into labor that night and have her on 11/11, but indeed that didn't happen.

I remember telling my doc that I thought I was in labor and he said no and sent me home.

But of course my sweet girl made her quick delivery that night with only an hour to spare in the delivery room.

She was my 11/12/13 baby who couldn't wait another 5 mins to be born at 9:10, she came at 9:05 and couldn't have been more perfect.

I know I said this with my Dal all the time, that I can't believe how fast time is flying, but REALLY where did this year go? Cooper seems to little to be one, and I'm not ready to have another toddler. I want her to stay little for as long as possible! But if it was up to her, she'd be walking and riding horses right along with her older sister.

At 12 months Miss Rosie,

- Still loves her pink silk blanket more than anything! 

- She has the crawling thing down pack and instead of sitting and playing with toys now, she follows me around making messes. We have rubber bands on all the cupboard knobs she can reach.

- She says, mom, dad, dal, deu, num-num, that.

- Loves when her daddy comes home from work. She will drop whatever she's doing and vline to the back door. She usually jumps right out of my arms for Daddy.

- She is getting 2 more teeth, the big top molers in the back. She has been quite the bear this last month. I took her to the doc thinking she had ear infections but indeed it was just the those teeth! That will make a whopping 8 teeth when they finally come in! Dal didn't get any until she was a year!
- She is always pointing at what she wants and says that. And the little smarty will nod her head at what she does and doesn't want.

-When ever I open our fridge freezer door she comes crawling as fast as she can, because that usually means ICECREAM!
-She loves her Papa Brent. He comes to our house just about daily to visit and she knows when he comes she gets a four wheeler ride. I don't know what we'll do when it gets too cold to ride the razor.
-On the days I watch my nephews, she crawls around following the kids just like she's a big kid too. She doesn't let them get away with anything. She's keeps a watchful eye out for the kids.

I am amazed how quickly we got into a daily routine with two girls. Its like Cooper has always been with us. I don't know what we'd do without our little spitfire, stubborn, sweet girl! When she smiles she just melts my heart with that nose crinkle and toothy grin!

Love you Rosie Posie, Now just STOP growing! I'm not ready for a walker yet!

Halloween 2014

We had so much fun this Halloween. Dallie Jo got to attend FOUR Halloween parties and enjoyed dressing up each time. She now thinks she needs to wear makeup everywhere!

Cooper was the cutest little skunk I have ever seen! She just smiled big for everyone and enjoyed the candy everyone kept handing her. Her favorite part of the night was sitting on Grandpa Brents lap eating a kitkat... He's now her favorite!

Dallie really liked carving pumpkins. I love how excited she is every year to try new things. She loves the new traditions we are forming and she doesn't let us forget them. She says, remember my pumpkin last year, I loved it! (yeah, I don't remember...)

Dallie attended two preschool parties, she went to my parents ward party and then our ward trunk for treat. I think I'll freeze the candy like it did last year and eat it all year round!

 

Quincee and her boys came to the trunk or treat. Aren't they the cutest Tonto and Lonerange ever! She tried to get Kaz to dress up as a pirate, but he was set on being a cowboy... as usual! We also ran into Dallie's little friend Brecken, she's the cutest too!

Needless to say Dal and Cooper had a great time. Dallie already says she's going to be a cheerleader next year... and I think Cooper will probably be a mermaid since we already have Deuce's costume from the dog show.

Kyxie!

Poor Kyxie! 

Gpa Gary says he's scared for life! 

12 months!

This little gam turns 1 tomorrow! Awe! I'm not sure I'm ready for this!
