Christmas List

The other day in the car we asked Cooper what he wanted for Christmas. This is what he said:

1. Green Thomas ChooChoo Train
2. Pink Thomas ChooChoo Train. (I asked him why he wanted a pink one, and he said it was for Why-ya)
3. Lightning McQueen cars. Wots of them.

Then today, when Grandma asked him what he wanted, all he said was;
"Just chicken from mcdonalds".

Alrighty then, this should be an interesting Christmas!!

Trans Siberian Orchestra

Last night, Myles, Kali, Travis and I headed to Phillips Arena to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra. IT WAS AWESOME. They put on an amazing show! It actually has me in the Christmas mood! They banned cameras from the show, but we are sneaky, and brought them in anyways. We got LOTS of cool pics, and even an awesome video.

I should mention something I found out while at this show..... beer REALLY makes me pee often. I must have taken 3 potty breaks during the show!

Anways, back to the show, if you ever have a chance to go see them, do it! The narrator had a really deep deep voice- his voice would make a good alarm clock.

Here is a video we took last, it is a huge file, but if you have a chance and have time, its worth watching!

Lyla and Brocks Baby Dedication

This past Sunday, the whole family got together in support of Brock and Lyla's Baby Dedication to their chuch. We all got dressed up -- The Culps forgot to tell us we could have worn jeans. Sheesh. Cooper did pretty good over all... but it was warm in there, REALLY warm in there, and after an hour and 10 minutes these comments were coming out of his mouth- and NOT very quietly:

"That man talking. (the pastor). My no want that man to talk".

"That man green!!!" (they had green lights shining on one of the guitar players- cooper was amazed that he kept changing colors).

Then we had to excuse ourselves when Cooper says "my want to go pwease". - course he didn't say that one quietly at all. Crazy kid.

After the ceremony, we headed back to Grandma and Grandpas for some yummy grub- as a matter of fact, i'm still full from it all!!

Congrats Culps!!

CMA Awards

Last night, after Coopers bath, we went downstairs to watch TV. Well really, he wanted to watch Thomas, but I wanted to watch the CMA's. Cooper starts to get pissy that I told him he couldn't watch Thomas, until he looked at the TV. Kellie Pickler was on there with a skin tight short black dress. This was our conversation:

Coop "Mommy, who is daaaaat (that)"
Mommy "That is Kellie Pickler"
Coop "Kellie Pick-er? wooooooooooow".

And that was the end of him wanting to watch Thomas.


Then, this morning, there was a commercial about bras. It really was a wierd commercial, and I'm not sure what it was really about. But Coopers eyes got big (as he's staring at a girl with just her bra on), and he asks me "what is daat"? Unfortunately I couldn't think of a good way to explain a bra, so I told him I didn't know. His reponse "I don't know ee-ver". Shew, thank GOD. Although, I think he's found his new favorite commercial.

Little Lumberjack

Mimi and Pops have come to visit us, and we decided it was time to have a bonfire Sunday afternoon. Saturday we all helped with yard work- trimming the rose bushes and trees, so we had lots of stuff to burn, including our pumpkins.

This pic is of our lil monkey, he's always climbing!!

Halloween 2008

On Halloween, EVERYONE came over with their pumpkins to our house. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics of the pumpkins- I'll take some tonight if they are still in one piece. We also forgot to have people vote, OOPs. Guess that means I am still the champ. Ha!! Anyways, Grandma, Ashleigh, Kali, Brock, Brodey, Lyla, Jeff, Cooper and I all went trick or treating. Here is a pic of some of the group before we started... Cooper was Thomas the Train, Brock was the cutest christmas tree i have ever seen, Lyla was a lady bug, and Brodey was Buzz Lightyear. Cooper had a good ol time knocking on peoples doors. He even said "Fank You" when people gave him candy. At one house, the boys knocked, the door open, and Brock just walked right in. HEHEH It was hilarious- a walking Christmas Tree. I really wanted to take him to Publix to show him off.

Cooper LOVED this Halloween globe thingy, so we decided to take his picture in front of it. He even gave me a nice big smile!! In case you're wondering where his arms are- they are in his candy holder part of his costume... I think he really enjoyed holding his candy.

This pic was taken in our foyer. Cooper wasn't too happy of a camper... mommy and daddy had to go through his candy and remove anything and everything that had to do with peanuts. HEHEH Poor kid ended up with a whole lot of suckers. Did you know that even PLAIN M&M's "May Contain Peanuts". NICE.

Too bad people don't pass out toys. He would LOVE that.

After trick or treating with the kids, getting cooper all washed up and into bed, Travis, I, Myles, Kali and Cam headed to a Halloween Party at some friends house. Pictured here is Bill Clinton (aka Myles). He was starting to freak out Kali and I.... damn mask. Although he did get some comments that he looked like dad. HA!

Last but not least, we have us, Olive Oil and Popeye. Travis made a GREAT Olive. Till he froze his ass off.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2008.
