We are Pathetic Bloggers

So I know it has been far too long since we have added a blog post. I don't really have any excuse, its not like we have nothing to talk about, I guess we just aren't very good at taking the time to write it down. So what is new?

Scott pulled off an over-the-top Valentines surprise for me complete with checking into the W hotel in downtown Scottsdale, enjoying drinks and appetizers in the bar there, roaming around the incredible but totally unaffordable Scottsdale Fashion Square, getting all gussied up and eating dinner at Flemings Steakhouse, sleeping in until 9am, something I have not done since the birth of our son, then relishing breakfast at one of our fave spots down here, before hurrying home to our little guy. I guess when you are spoiled with a live-in nanny you can't help but take advantage of an opportunity to get a night away! So way to go Scotty, that was a good one.

Scott is still loving school, coming home almost every day with stories to share, accomplishments to tell of, like a career low of 4 under par 68 (his first time in the 60's) and an occasional club he has hand made.

Cohen amazes us every day! His vocabulary is exceptional, he talks in sentences all day long, repeats any word we say, and strings things together and comes up with new words that we have no idea he even knows every day. Our favorite story lately is that this week while I was working Cohen decided to get up at some unspeakable hours, so on the 2nd morning that Cohen woke up at 5:45 and Scott went in to get him and asked him, "Cohen, why did you get up so early?" Cohen responded, "I missed you dada." How can you get mad at that?

He is all boy! His favorite activities right now are going to ANY park, watching "truck scoops" live, on his movie, or on you tube at all times, digging and playing in the dirt outside with his trucks, reading books, and talking, lots of talking.

This is a great picture of his mischevious side, which he has also been developing. 99% of the time, he is a great kid. However, instead of asking to be excused from the dinner table like a well mannered kid, or even just saying a simple "all done", Cohen chooses to throw whatever is on his tray as far as he can. Stella loves this, but Mom and Dad aren't the biggest fans. At least after he thows the food, he asks for a timeout and says "poor choice Cohen." Smart kid.
