BYU Cougar



Cora and I got to go to Education Week last week! For two days. Cora stayed with my friend Becky for a day, and played with Sophie, her daughter. The other day, Cora was a Cougar girl, and spent the day on campus with Kissie and Pata. They alternated going to classes with me and playing with Cora. It was so much fun! And Cora came home with a shirt to remember her day and that she can wear to cheer the Cougars on this fall.

Also, Kevin, Cora, and I went swimming in our neighborhood pool last week so Cora could show Kevin her swim skills that she learned during our Mom and Tot class. We had a fun time with the class! And it was a fun family swim night too.

Twirling and Kicking



Kevin and Cora dance to Baby Tad's nursery songs when Kevin gets home from work very day. Cora loves to 'dance' -- twirl in circles. Maybe later Kevin can show her more of his dance moves!




Kevin has also been teaching Cora how to kick the ball. She's getting there!

Going Places


Cora has a new love: Bags! She carries my little bag of nails polish around the house-- it has handles the perfect size for her little hands, and loves the little purse she has too. Today we tried her backpack of blocks on her. I'm not sure what she really thought of it though--It certainly redistributed her weight for walking! I think she was stinking out her little belly even farther to compensate.

Cora got a stomach bug and was feeling terrible all day Saturday. Today she spent the day recovering, and hopefully tomorrow she'll be up to full speed again!

Clean Teeth


Cora loves toothbrushes! And now she's figured out where Kevin and I keep ours. Our toothbrushes have turned up in random places throughout the house the last few days, and a little dirtier for the trip. So now, our toothbrushes will have to go into hiding and we'll just have to send Cora's through the dishwasher every few days!

It's been a while....

This is what we've been up to! We don't have pictures because I hauled around a camera without the battery charger for the last few weeks. But it's charged now and we'll post some soon.

-We spent a night at the family reunion in Eastern Idaho. We couldn't go for very long, but it was fun to see everyone!

-We watched Kissie run the Salt Lake Marathon on Pioneer Day. Cora loved clapping for the runners, and exploring the sidewalks and parkstrips while we hoped we were in the right place to see Kissie! We saw her twice while she was running, one of those times Kevin got to see her too because the marathon went down the street he works on.

-Cora and I rode to Boise with Kissie after the marathon and spent the rest of the week there playing in the pool, in the fountain, and at the house. We took walks with Puppy every morning and Cora rolled the doll stroller over every inch of the house I think. Cora said her first 'cock-a-doodle-doo'! She also loved getting up on the hearth, climbing on Pata's rocking chair from when he was little,and seeing how close she could get to Puppy without getting too scared.

-Kevin came up to Boise Friday and we all went to the lake on Saturday, and came home Sunday. Cora got up on the wakeboard her first time! Just kidding. But she did love playing on the beach and watching Kissie, Pata, Mom, and Dad wakeboard and ski.

-Cora and I started a mom and tot swim class on Monday. My friend and her baby who is a few months older than Cora are taking it too. It's pretty mellow, but a lot of fun. Cora loves jumping in the pool and picking up rings from the bottom of the kiddie pool. We need to take a family trip to the pool so she can show off her skills to Kevin.
