April 2014

I can’t believe it’s May already!  We had a great month of April! Not much has been going on, just life.  Lynn started his second to last semester in his Masters; he only has one more after this! We are so excited to be done in September.  I’m not really sure what life without homework will be like, but I’m certain it will be awesome! I have been training for another triathlon so Cooper and I get out to the gym at least once a day.  He loves to play with other kids and always follows the big kids around.  We also took a quick day trip into Sacramento to visit the LDS Temple there.  We left Cooper with a good friend and enjoyed a couple hours baby free.

I tried to take us on a family adventure out to Turlock Lake and when we finally found it, it was mostly muddy and not really any sand.  Lynn says I’m not allowed to pick our activities for the foreseeable future. We do have a short trip planned to head down to Mesquite to play and visit with friends but he approves of that one. J Cooper is talking a lot more now and can communicate really well.  He has; however, hit some terrible two’s a bit early.  Although he can tell us or show us what he wants, if he doesn’t like the answer, it is an instant fit! He gets really frustrated when he can’t get what he wants right away.  He is also very obsessed with Curious George right now.  We watch at least four episodes a day. I think for his second birthday we are going to have to get a Curious George cake.

We are loving the warm weather and swimming at least twice a week.  Cooper loves the water! We have a little splash pool set up on the back patio that he jumps in on days we don’t make it to the pool.  We can’t wait for summer and are working on applying to better positions for Lynn at work.  This will almost certainly mean a move but we are excited to whatever the future brings!
