Well, here it is...another Valentine's Day. I have decided to tell a little love story...not about Joel and I but about our five year old daughter. Jenna is in love. She met this little red-headed boy named Cooper, Jenna pronounces it Coo-pa, at preschool and apparently it was love at first sight because they are going to get married...or were going to get married. This is how it went down.
Jenna enters the room...
"Mom, I just have to marry Coo-pa right now!"
I am a little surprised by the sudden random outburst and ask why.
"Because, I just have to!," was her seemingly desperate reply.
I ask, "Well, where are you going to get married at?"
Her reply, "The temple."
My proud reply, "Well, that is a good place to get married." But then realize once again that I am having this very adult conversation with a five year old.
Jenna's response, "Yeah, and we can decorate it!" (With the cutest, sly smile on her face)
My motherly reply, "But Jenna, if you get married to Cooper where are you two going to live?"
Non-chaluntley she replys, "I live with you and Coo-pa live with his family."
I am thinking in my head on how to end this 'I want to marry Coo-pa conversation that has taken place more that a dozen times in our house once and for all' and reply..."Well, if you and Cooper get married you have to live with your husband and leave home. Drew, Daddy, and I would miss you so much."
Jenna's reply after a second of thought, "I want to live with you forever...I don't want to marry Coo-pa anymore."
And just like that it was over...no more "I have to marry Coo-pa!" fits in this household. We already told her that she can't get married until she is atleast 25 and she seems to be taking the news well--and so is Joel. Lets just say that I can wait until she hits puberty! And I also want to say on this the day of LOVE that I am so in LOVE with my husband and kids and am so glad that we can be together as a family forever. Happy Valentine's to you and your Coo-pas!!!
P.S. Jenna still has a crush on that little red-headed boy.

cute story!
happy valentines :)
Funny story! I guess love really is in the air. Yeah, keep her away from the redheads-they're trouble-hahahaha!
Love it, what a darling! Happy Valentine's Day to you too!
How sweet! This Coop-pa must be something! I love and miss you and hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
To Darn Cute, I love hearing stories of Jenna!!! Good thing you are telling her now though that she cant get married til she is 25. I keep telling Jaydin he cant date til he is 21..lol.
Happy Valentines day.. How is everything else going???
hugs
Cute story, and dang clever reply. It's amazing how soon you have to be able to "out wit" them. Great job though, and I'm glad she picked you and Joel over Coop-pa! Keep us updated on that soon-to-be little boy!
I am so excited your family is blogging! I love the pics, and congrats on baby boy #2! A little unexpected I hear, but babies are always a blessing (maybe I should hold that comment until your not pregnant, going through labor or breastfeeding... sorry). Ron got accepted to UDub dental school, and I am so excited to live near Natalie, and if we get into the RIDE program Ron will do his 1st and 4th years in ... da... da.. da... Spokane! It means a lot more moving but we like this area, and I don't think we are big city people, but I guess we will see!
I know, I haven't talked to you forever!!! How's pregnancy going? Are you excited to be done?! Any names picked out yet? My mom is really bummed about the ward splitting. That's stinks! We're doing good. Work keeps me super busy. I've been working a ton of overtime. I like it though. Scott keeps really busy too with school. Nerd! Haha! We've been trying to take advantage of living in a big city. Been going to lots of sporting events, walked the Magnificent Mile, etc. My family comes in a month (my mom, dad, Steph, & Scottie) & I can't wait! We're even going to Wicked when they come! We're getting Six Flags season tickets. It's like 5 miles from our place. So what's up with Marianne & her blog? Is she not a blogger anymore? How's she doing? Keep in touch!!!
That's very funny! How are you anyway? Do Jennifer and Jared have a blog? Take care! Emily
Jena is too funny about that. I love hat she is already planning out her wedding. Hopefully this Coo pa fella is a good guy, I wouldn't want her to get her heart broken! :-)
New post! New post!!
