Matthew's brother Cory (aka Uncle C-Dawg) got married this last weekend to a wonderful girl - Lindsay Dunn. We are so excited to have her in the family, and they make a wonderful pair. Here is a photo of them outside the temple right after they got married.
Below are some pictures of us as a family. Cooper's shirt is a little big for him because we couldn't find a 0-3 month or 3-6 month shirt, so it's a 6-9 month shirt, but I'm guessing it will fit him well in the next few months - he is growing so fast. He and TJ both looked so cute in their little bow-ties.
Yes, Cooper is wearing BLUE socks! He was in a different outfit earlier in the day and I forgot to pack different socks for this outfit, so they don't really match, but oh well. He's only 6 weeks old, don't hold it against him. :-)
Things with us are going well, except TJ and I both have colds and I think Matthew is getting one too. TJ still wants to hold Cooper's hands all the time and give him kisses, but I am really trying to prevent it right now because I don't want Cooper to get sick. Cooper is really starting to smile and he has found his voice a lot more recently so he coo's a lot, which is so cute. TJ is doing well and I know I am probably a little bias since he's my son, but he is SO smart! He's not even 2 1/2 yet and he is always wanting to spell things. He can actually spell Mom, Dad, TJ, Cooper, Fox, boots, and banana by himself and he can almost spell quilt and queen (random words, I know). He is carrying on more complex conversations each day and other than the occasional "terrible two" day most the time he is so much fun - he loves to laugh and goof around, and has a funny sense of humor. The other day he was leaning up against a chair and had one of his legs up and said "Look mom - I'm a flamingo!" He loves to sing songs and he is taking after his dad in his love for baseball. He has a little recorder that he uses as a bat and he is always wanting me to throw him a ball so he can hit it. The most recent thing he says before I throw him the ball is "Bottom of the ninth - two outs. He takes a loooong look at the runner at first. And...the pitch" Can you tell his dad has been teaching him a few things about baseball? He can also "hike" a football (which I taught him), so we definitely have ourselves a little boy! I actually really enjoy having boys and sometimes wonder what I would ever do with a girl. I guess we'll see if I have to ever even worry about that (but not anytime soon).

You all look so dashing in your wedding "finery" and Cooper is getting sooo big. It sounds like TJ is a brilliant little man. I hope your trip out here to UT is soon and long. Love ya lots

Hey cute pictures. You have given me inspiration to finish my dress. You look beautiful!
TJ is a little genius. I need to have ALex hang out with him all summer so that some of those smarts can rub off on him. I mean my little guy is alittle genius too, but when two genuises get together watch out! Also just to let you know, Joseph is getting to CHicago on the 12th and I will be there on the 19th!! I'll see you soon!!!!
