The Larsen Family: What's New??!!

Chaos is the new word to desrcibe this Larsen family's life. No, not really, but it sure does feel like it at times. Well, Scott finally did it! He is finally finished with law school, and hopefully school for the rest of his life (at least for now anyways)!!! Cohen and I left Ohio at the end of October to stay with my father and Laura until Scott officially finished school in December. Their generosity allowed us to save money, spend quality time with family and avoid more high rent (month-to-month) payments. We were there for about six weeks. Scott picked us up on his way from Ohio and we were then Utah bound. Another new adventure for Cohen monster and I. Next stop, Santaquin Utah, to spend the next 8 weeks or so with more grandpas and grandmas. Scott got to spend Christmas with us in Utah, but left that evening to start classes the following Monday in Idaho. Yep, more classes. For the next two months, Scott gets to take classes to help him prep for the dreaded, monstrous BAR exam! Are you keeping up with this crazy story?? Sometimes, I don't know if I am! Anyways, Scott takes the BAR exam February 28th and 29th in Idaho. Then, hopefully he can find a job and a place for us to live so we can get our lives back on track! In the meantime, while poor Scotty is having to work so hard to prepare for this exam, Cohen, the puppies, and I are having a wonderful time spending time with family. Oh, and mommy is loving being a stay-at-home mommy! Also, we may have the opportunity to go help Marty and Beccah out when their new baby comes in February. Yet again, another new adventure for Cohen and I that will be highly anticipated!!! As always, our thoughts and prayers are with daddy wishing him the best in February! February is a big month for our family!!!! Here are some pictures of our journey since the Larsens have left Ohio...

During the stay at Papa and Grandma Hartshorn's, Cohen got to experience the wonderful farm life! He absolutely, positively LOVED it! He is just like his mommy, there is a special place in her heart for animals, cowboys, and cowgirls! Cohen got to go to a cattle sale for the first time, go sledding for the first time, got bilateral ear infections for the first time, and had his first sleep over at Aunt Shawna and Uncle Kerry's house! Here are some sledding pictures of us. He got to go twice, once with me and Papa, and then again once Scott came to pick us up!

Papa is so stinking clever...he made the best sled out of a lid and padded it with a rug and blanket! Perfect size for Cohen Monster! He absolutely loved it and wasn't scared at all!

Lilly's paws got really cold :)

We also had somewhat of a little Christmas get together at Papa's before we took off to Utah! We got to spend time with Papa, Grandma, Uncle Kelby, and Aunt Chelsea! Cohen, of course, was EXTREMELY spoiled by everyone! He is so lucky to have such great people in his life who loves and adores him!!! Here are just some pics of our Early Christmas in Colorado!!!

Aunt Chelsea, Uncle Kelby, Grandma Laura, Cohen and Daddy!

One of Cohen's favorite people, PAPA!!!!

Aunt Chelsea and Uncle Kelby got Cohen some KU pajamas and that adorable puppy chair!

Papa and Grandma Laura got Cohen some cows! He loves COWS!!! MOOO!

Papa and Grandma Laura got Cohen Bullseye and those adorable Roper boots! Pretty Snazzy!!!

Our journey in Utah is still in the process of being completed; however, Cohen is sure loving spending time with his cousins and grandparents! Not to mention, mommy loves the interaction it is allowing him to have since he is in the I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SHARE point in his life :)
