Cooper can talk!

Fathers Day

For Fathers Day we went to Ian's Uncle Grant and Aunt Chris's house for a BBQ.

What a good dad!

Ian's grandparents came up from Salem.

The Men

Malia and Gunner loved Aunt Chris! They couldn't stop talking about her little frogs and tadpoles.

This was my contribution. I found the idea here I think they turned out pretty cute and they were fun.

Cooper is 3 months!

I can't believe it has been 3 months since Cooper was born! Life with 3 kids has definately been an adjustment, but actually not as bad as I thought. Cooper is so easy right now, he just goes with the flow. He weighs approximately 14 lbs and is about 24 inches long now. He is pretty much sleeping through the night most nights, which makes me happy. We love his little laugh, and I may be a little biased, but he sure is getting to be one handsome little guy! :)

Cooper's new seat! I never had one of these with the other two, so I found this bumbo off craigslist really cheap, and thought we would give it a try.

Hawaii Part 5

Here are the last random photos.

A look at the International Marketplace.

Shopping at the ABC store, in Waikiki area there is about 2 on every corner :)


Gorgeous water


Here are some more awesome pictures we took with our underwater camera. You can tell we were fascinated with the turtles.








Then on the last day we walked down the beach from our house to snorkel one last time, and this turtle was laying on the beach, I almost stepped on it, thinking it was just more rocks.


We had to turn our rental car in by 5pm, but our flight didn't leave until 11pm, so here we were trying to find the limo taxis to take us to the Hard Rock for dinner, but found out their law is no more than 7 people in one taxi, and Cooper put us at 8. So we just went back into the airport and ate, then spent hours waiting for our flight. I have never done a red eye flight, and it wasn't fun, but we made it home.

Even with all the unfortunate things that happened, it was an awesome trip, and wasn't too bad having Cooper there. Thanks McOmie's!

Hawaii Part 4

One day we spent a little while at the gorgeous Waimea Beach, where Ian and his dad jumped off the big rock.



A couple of cool things about the house we stayed in was every afternoon we had a group of sea turtles come up to the sea wall. It was so fun to watch them.




The other thing about our house, for any of you who watch Lost, is we were right across from Dillingham Field, which is the air strip they filmed quite a few scenes on, and where we think they stored the part of the airplane they used. Also, about a mile down the road was the Other's Camp, and the Beach where they filmed a lot of their beach scenes. We all thought it was fun to see!




Ian wishes this was our rental car.

Hawaii Part 3

Sorry to those of you who are getting bored with the Hawaii pictures, but I still have a lot more! :)
So apparently we went to Hawaii at the wrong time, atleast for those who wanted to surf or body board. There were hardly any waves! We found this one beach that had a few little waves, so the guys got out there and tried.



We were there at sunset, so we got some cool pictures.



Another thing we got hooked on, and went there almost every day, was the world famous Matsumoto Shaved Ice. It was vanilla ice cream on the bottom with shaved ice on the top and any three flavors! Sooo Good!



On Thursday we went to the Hawaii temple, where it started raining!! :(


And unfortunately this was the day we were supposed to go to the Polynesian Culture Center. Even with all the rain, it was still my favorite thing we did. So fun!
We took so many pictures here, and lots of video, so here are just a few. These are from the little boat parade they did with the different cultures.





We also got to go to a traditional Luau dinner. Yummy food!!





And the amazing Horizons show at the end. Cooper loved it!
