Coco... 18 months





I took Coco to her 18month Dr. appt and she has finally hit 20lb's!! Yippie! Finally time to have a forward facing car seat. She is so much happier in the car and actually made a car noise for the first 15 minutes of her first ride. I think she thought she was driving because she had never been able to look out the front window before. She is still in the 5th percentile for weight and is just a small little thing but she is a healthy happy little toddler. She is so sweet and gives lots of kisses and loves to all her animals and mommy and dadda. She understands both English and Spanish very well and has a couple words that she only says in Spanish. It is really amazing to see. She is talking a LOT and can even name a few letters in the alphabet. She has been such a joy to have in our home. I absolutely love being her mommy. We are so blessed.

Presidents Weekend

We had a fun weekend away in Island Park over Presidents weekend this year. We snowmobiled through Yellowstone on a beautiful sunny day. It was so beautiful and I was so glad we had good weather because it was still pretty cold. There's nothing better than a warm cabin, great food and fun friends on a winter weekend!

Coco Rica

Costa Rica is now called Coco Rica in our family, thanks to Auntie Jennifer. We had such a great time in January on our trip to CR. Ben's sister Jennifer and her kids had the pleasure of an extended 3+ month stay this winter and Ben's brother Paul and his family have lived there for 3 years now so we had lots of family to enjoy. Lots of sunsets, potlucks and game nights. Ben took his mountain bike down and was able to do a couple long rides and even a race. We went to the fiesta to see the crazy bull riding and had lots of surf and beach time with Coco. She LOVED all the attention from her cousins and aunts & uncles. I can't believe it has been 3 months since this trip, as I was getting these pictures together it was crazy to see how much she has grown up since then. She is such a great little traveler.
