Stupid Human Tricks

This guy is the star of the show at the Coobs house. Nothing like dinner time entertainment watching Daddy try to catch chicken nuggets in his mouth!

Arizona

So Cory and I took a quick trip to Arizona for work. It was outside of my comfort zone, so I had a stomach ache for most of the trip, but I still really enjoyed seeing something different. I made a few observations about Scottsdale. First of all, it is an awesome place to shop. Secondly, everyone there has lots of money. We saw tons of high end cars that we rarely see, especially in such high numbers, here. Bentleys, Porsches and Ferraris were everywhere. Thirdly, Everyone in Scottsdale has a tan, and for two whole days, I got to be the fattest person in eye shot. It was kind of unnerving, but Cory was able to point out to me that we saw a person in the mall that was fatter than me. That was comforting.









The terrain in Arizona was definitely worth the trip, but I am glad to be back in the land of the corn-fed, where I am not the fattest one in the crowd.

Just because she is cute

Welcome to Single Motherhood

Cory is out of town this week, so I am testing out single parenting...I think I am going to try to keep him around I have decided.
While Cory is hanging out at Walt Disney World for a "conference" Leila and I are freezing our butt's off in Iowa. We had a snow storm today and the snow has been blowing all day. This is when it would be nice to have Cory around to scoop the snow...oh well I guess, I have just learned to accelerate very strongly as a pull out of the garage, and hope for the best! :)
Cory will be back on Thursday evening and we can't wait.

In other news, we got a new camera, so I am going to post some new pictures. Leila is standing and walking along the furniture like an old pro... she will be walking in no time!

Here is Leila making faces at Zoey while she is stuck out on the deck in the cold


Here is Leila showing us how big she is


And Leila hoping to get her turn to check out the new camera
