John and Del plus 3

2011-01-26T20:00:00.000-08:00

I just had to get a picture of this. People often ask, how someone can go to Law school with 3 babies.... as you can see here, Lily has cookie crisp scattered all over the floor. That's my sweet husband is studying his head off. John didn't know any of this had taken place until AFTER I showed him this picture. That's called focus.

we've got the cold:)

2011-01-26T19:57:00.000-08:00

We're siiiiiiick......but we love to cuddle.

Twins!!

2011-01-26T19:54:00.000-08:00

Reagan told me she just had to have this shirt, because it looks just like daddy's! Could I deny her?? I think not:)

2011-01-26T19:52:00.000-08:00

Reagan asked Lily to help her get her shirt off.....I'm not sure if she'll ask for her help again:)

Megamind!!

2011-01-15T19:01:00.000-08:00

Reagan's first movie theatre experience...MEGAMIND!! so much fun:)

once there was a snowman....

2011-01-15T18:59:00.001-08:00

our snow men are educated!!

Reagan got the best birthday present ever......

2011-01-12T15:18:00.001-08:00

So, ever since the coupe's moved to Michigan, we've been without great tasting popcorn....why?? Because Our microwave that we got for our wedding (that we JUST opened) burns every bag of popcorn. Life just isn't fair. Reagan especially had missed this delicacy. However for her birthday, the Anderson's once again came through with an air popper!!
Thank you doug and jes....our lives our complete now:)

Baby Alyce

2011-01-12T15:14:00.000-08:00

here's one of the prettiest ladies that live here in Michigan. 3 months old already!!

2011-01-12T14:25:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas....Thanks to the Anderson's this picture was possible....because believe me, family of 5 pictures seem next to impossible!

I"m BAAAACK!!

2011-01-07T19:47:00.000-08:00

Who knows if anyone follows this anymore...I think everyone gave up on me posting anything new!! Some "new things" that have happened since the last post.... Pregnant with 3rd baby girl, John graduated from UNLV, John was accepted to MSU Law, sold my high school car, moved Lansing Michigan, gave birth to Alyce Genesee Coupe! phew....more to come I'm sure!!

Ceasars Palace and the Strip

2010-01-19T09:44:00.001-08:00

Notice, we couldn't even get them to look away from the fish long enough to get a picture.

John and I took the girls to Ceasars Forum shops to have lunch, and to check out the aquarium. They had a ball! We have to go back to the fountains sometime soon, because they didn't get to see them in full affect. They don't start until 3 in the afternoon, and we were there at 10 am.

Sight Seeing in Town

2010-01-19T09:16:00.000-08:00

The family picture...thank you random tourist!

Lily was on sensory overload...she just didn't know where to look first!

At first Reagan wasn't to sure about throwing her "pocket pennies"into the pond...

It occured to John and I that there is so much that we have in fabulous Las Vegas that we hardly ever take advantage of. So yesterday, (in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.) we took the girls down to the Bellagio and Ceasars Palace. The atrium was decked in all kinds of Chinese New Year stuff.

pretty pretty Reagan

2010-01-12T08:30:00.000-08:00

My little sweet heart woke up and got dressed this morning, and just started playing quietly on the floor. It's the little things that make my heart skip a beat!

ThanK YOU!!!

2010-01-11T20:44:00.000-08:00

Thank you Uncle Bodie and Aunt Liz for the adorable dresses for the girls! They're so cudly and warm, PERFECT!! Today I took a ton of pictures of them wearing them, but to my surprise, I did not have the memory card in the camera!! So here I am, Holding the dresses at the end of the day.

Thank you MOM!!

2010-01-11T20:18:00.000-08:00

My mom went overboard this year with the Christmas presents, but then again when doesn't she? Such cute adorable stuff!! Thank you thank you thank you! NOW COME SEE US:)

Reagan turned 3!!

2010-01-11T20:06:00.000-08:00

I can't believe it!!! My sweet baby is 3 years old!! We celebrated together as a family,(and with our extended family, the Lloyds). I baked cookies for Reagan and her nursery friends so that she could take them to church. And...Since I taught Relief Society today, in honor of Reagan's birthday, I brought her favorite snack to the girls....CHEEZ-ITS:) She is such a beautiful bright child, she's brought us so much joy in the past years. There is no doubt in my mind that she was someone special in Heaven.

Here she is trying to put up three fingers:)

a chilly night

2010-01-11T20:02:00.000-08:00

It's been very cold out here in the desert...time for peacoats!! The girl's and I all have several, now John want's one too!! You think he'd mind a pink one??

Sleeping Baby

2010-01-05T15:04:00.000-08:00

While I was shopping at Target today, I realized how quiet it was in my cart. Reagan was eating her usual bag of popcorn, and Lily seemed to be very content eating her banana. It wasn't until I was at my car that I noticed that my little Lily was fast asleep!! She looks so hilarious...thought I just had to take a picture. Notice she still has her half eaten banana in her hand.

P is For Parker

2010-01-03T16:25:00.001-08:00

Little Parker Hinton will be here any say now, so it's a good thing that Michelle had her baby shower is just the nick of time. Check out this cute picture of the "Manteca Wives"

Happy New Year!!

2010-01-03T16:15:00.000-08:00

What a fun New Years Eve we had! We had some great friends come over and ate lots of junk food and played some really fun games. What a nice way to bring in 2010.

NEW MOON!!!

2009-12-29T14:01:00.000-08:00

Iknow that this movie came out forever ago...but I forgot to do a post about it! Whitney, Debi, Ashley, and I decided to go the midnight showing of New Moon!! So fun!! Call us dorks if you will, but we'll be back in June!! Not to mention John and I WILL go to the Midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!! Expecto Patronus!

Thank you Everybody !!!!

2009-12-29T13:51:00.000-08:00

What a fabulous Christmas!! We have everything we need and then some. Grandma and Grandpa Coupe got the girls some awesome gifts. Some of their favorites, a shopping cart and an easel. Aunt Bonita and Uncle Mike got Reagan and Lily some relly fun bath toys, to which Reagan insited that she take a bath as soon as she opened it!! Mommy got Reagan this adorable back pack that Reagan has been eye-ing at Gymboree forever. I think they made out pretty good!

The Lights!!

2009-12-29T13:44:00.000-08:00

Not many neighborhoods have a ton of lights up, however John and I still wanted to show the girls some lights on Christmas eve. So, we went down to the strip!! Reagan loved it, Lily fell asleep:)

Christmas Eve

2009-12-29T13:37:00.000-08:00

John and I have a Christmas tradition to open up one present one Christmas eve. The one present is our Christmas pajamas.....

Go BYU

2009-12-29T13:34:00.000-08:00

John and Randy decided to go to the Las Vegas Bowl. Where they thoroughly froze their rear ends off and rushed the field!

uh oh

2009-12-28T20:21:00.000-08:00

So check out what I caught Lily doing! Needless to say, that toy is out of their room now!!

Thank You Granma Carol!

2009-11-30T12:32:00.000-08:00

My mom is always so good about finding things the girls go ga-ga for. Here are the latest crazes...a Dora hat and a Kailan beenie:)

THIS IS OUT OF CONTROL!!

2009-11-30T12:27:00.001-08:00

Last week Charla and I were out to lunch, and we couldn't resist stopping by Hot Topic to check out the obscene amount of New Moon merchandise inside. Yes, they had everything from throw pillows to lip gloss, but the gem of all pieces was this. The "Bella birthday dress."Thank you, Charla, for being my willing model. I think this is absolutely hillarious!

Trunk or Treat!!

2009-10-30T09:22:00.000-07:00

Another great year for trunk or treating....if you don't factor in the fact that it was like 40 degrees and windy!! Reagan and Lily were Care Bears, or as Reagan calls them"Bear Cares."

We were such good parents to think of costumes that would totally bundle them up against the elements! John and I ended up not dressing up, however all of john's friends insisted on calling him "Obi One Kanobe" and they told him they loved his work in "Moulin Rouge."

Go Rebels

2009-10-27T22:44:00.001-07:00

John, Del, Eryn, Randy, Steve, and Whitney Go UNLV!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whitney was able to get us some really great UNLV football game tickets, right on the 50 yard line!! Let me just clear something up, just because we're Mormon does not mean that we have to route for BYU:) At this particular game BYU just happened to kisk our butts..but we had fun none the less.

My family

2009-10-27T07:54:00.000-07:00

I can't resist a good family picture, and I'm never shy to ask any random person to take our picture either....But this one Aunt bev took, Thank you!!

Welcome to Las Vegas

2009-10-27T07:37:00.000-07:00

What a fun weekend again! We were so excited to see John's parents and both sets of his second parents too! I say both sets of second parents, because that truely is what these wonderful people are to us!! Uncle Scott and Aunt Bev came down from Seattle, and Mona and Carlos came from Riverside. The girls had a great time entertaining all of them, and we only wish is that the visit could have lasted longer.

Yamma Carol

2009-10-27T07:31:00.000-07:00

I'm so glad that my mom and my Aunt Marty were able to come visit last weekend. The girls really miss their "Yamma" and can't wait to see her again.

We love P.J's!!

2009-10-18T21:11:00.000-07:00

Thank you so much Aunt Bonnita for our new pajama's!! We just love them, and don't we look adorable??

Thank You!

2009-10-15T22:34:00.000-07:00

Charla and her sweet mom Paula returned some dishes of mine, and check out what was on them. Needless to say we enjoyed them!! Thank You!!

October is here!!

2009-10-15T22:26:00.000-07:00

Halloween is fast approaching, and check out the cute shirts my mom sent the girls!! Thanks yamma!!

The Price Family

2009-10-07T20:31:00.000-07:00

My dear sweet friend Kim Price, brought her family to visit us this past weekend! She just had a baby boy about 2 months ago. The girls (and John), instantly fell in love with baby Logan. Even I can't deny, this little guy was so stinkin adorable, it got me thinking about having my own little boy. I really wish that we lived closer to the Price family. John and David get along so well, and I just love Kim.

Henderson Car Show

2009-10-07T14:21:00.000-07:00

Mater!!!!!!!!

John used to have this same car(color and everything) back in high school!

We had such a fun time at the Henderson car show! There were cars for the girls to check out, music, entertainment,and lots of yummy food.

I'm 25 years old!

2009-10-07T14:09:00.000-07:00

This year John tell me that I'm 25 years old. The reason I say it like that is because I never really keep track of my age:) Thank goodness for John and his quick math. He was so amazing this year, he put together a little party, he took me out to dinner at grimaldi's, and he took me to breakfest. Just another special occasion to remind me how wonderful my husband is.

Mayweather fight

2009-09-23T13:49:00.000-07:00

The most amazing thing happened to John the other day. He was in the car listening to ESPN radio, and they had a contest on about identifying a rap song that an old man was reciting. John called in and got the song right, so he won...........2 tickets to see the Mayweather vs. Marquez fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena! We had a blast, it was the first fight that John and I had ever been to. It was awesome! We saw soooo many famous people, like Akon, Governor Swartzenager, George Lopez, Michael Jordan, Gloria Estefan, P. Diddy, Charles Barkley.. Just to name a few. Mayweather kicked Marquez's bum. John and I were both rooting for him since he see's him on a pretty regular basis ( and frequently parks his many cars) and since I did his sister and his wife's makeup earlier that day.

Girls Night Out!!

2009-09-22T21:10:00.000-07:00

Eryn came up with a great idea...Let's do a girl's night! So here we are having a fantastic time together...Whitney, Eryn, Michelle, and Del. We had a delish dinner at B.J's and frozen yogurt at Yodell's. When we got back to the house, the guys were wrestling! Take a look at John!! It looks like "The Guys" without "The Girls" might not be a good idea:)

Merry-Go-Round....again??

2009-09-22T20:20:00.000-07:00

The girls and I wake up every morning and go for a walk. We all Just love to go to the park or Whole Foods together. Last week we went to Green Valley The District, and rode the merry-go-round. Reagan had a ball, but little Lily wasn't sure about it. The poor thing just kind made a whinning noise the entire time. Me, trying to be the nice mom that I am, bought three rides in advance so that we would be able to just stay on and not have to get off. My poor sweet Lily had to endure this cycle three times!! Reagan on the other hand, would like to go back as soon as possible.

it's been too long..

2009-09-22T10:05:00.000-07:00

Just a couple updates...We Moved! This isn't the big move, yet. We simply moved down the street:) We're back in the Shadow Canyon ward, and we expect to be here at least one more year.

Check out how I painted the girl's room!! They love it.

East Union High

2009-08-11T13:05:00.000-07:00

John and I have a great story as to how we met...if you've never heard it, ask me and i'd love to tell. We had the opportunity to go back to our old high school, and we took this great picture! This is OUR FAMILY in front of the bench where we first had our fated can opener conversation, eleven years ago!

oh how I miss them

2009-08-10T21:41:00.000-07:00

We got the opportunity to visit with my family last month. They are such a fun bunch, I wish we lived closer....LOVE YOU GUYS!

happy birthday LILY!!!!!!!!!

2009-08-10T21:21:00.000-07:00

Our Baby girl had turned a year old. I can't believe it. She is such a little sweet heart. We had a small get together at our home and Lily had all her friends here. Thank you everyone who sent gifts and show your love all year round to our AnnaLily. We did the cake around the time of her usual nap, and believe it or not, she almost feel asleep on it!!

it been a while....

2009-08-10T21:15:00.000-07:00

geez, I haven't blogged in a while. I guess I should post some pics before family gets upset:)

Potty trianing

2009-06-25T20:26:00.000-07:00

Huge steps in the Coupe home! We've started potty training Reagan. She seems to be doing well. I'm sure when she's a teenager this picture will come in very handy with bribery.

good thing I got a picture!

2009-06-25T20:17:00.000-07:00

If you know me, you already know that I love to have my girls match. These were two of my favorite dresses that they owned, however I'm sad to say that last week Reagan got into some craft paint and ruined hers!!! I went to Gymboree today and they no longer had that dress:( But I settled for a tank top in the same print.....LIKE I SAID, good thing I got a picture.

Happy Father's Day!!

2009-06-25T10:05:00.001-07:00

What a wonderful Father's Day! We got up and made daddy breakfest, pancakes and bacon. He opened his presents and we f=got ready for church! The girl's and their daddy matched, they all looked so adorable!

Stoneys!!

2009-06-25T09:48:00.000-07:00

These two pictures are some of my favorites from the night, check out how Randy is never facing the right way!!!

Boonie was amazing, we found out laer that he didn't even know the rest of us were going to stoney's it just happened to be where he goes three days out of the week! Eryn by far had the most fun, she din't know to many of the dances, but that didn't stop her:) She just go out there and grooved!

John actually did quite well when it came to learning the new dances, as for me and Randy, his face says it all!

Here are the two of us just lovin each other!

Whitney got us all to go to a country club for her birthday! It was a lot of fun, but hard work!! Who knew Line dancing could take so much out of you?

San Diego Comes To Vegas!!

2009-06-25T09:36:00.000-07:00

Lily and Reagan loved the extra attention they got from Aunt Bonnita and Aunt Marty!

Aunt Bonnita was loving our little Lily...

John and I can't get enough of grandma, John says she is one of his favorite people he knows.

Here we are, the girls:) It was a short visit, but so fun. We love our San Diego family and any visit we get we savor:)

Monday Buddies

2009-06-08T21:14:00.000-07:00

For those of you that don't know, I help out a sweet friend of mine on Mondays. I watch her two little guys, Connor and Mason while she goes to work for awhile. In the beginning I thought that I was just simply doing her a favor. Since she can work Monday, she no longer has to work Sundays, which means that she can go to church and have her family day back. However I think this family is doing ME the favor. I've learned so many beautiful lessons from them, not to mention I get the priveledge of being able to spend time with the boys and my girls. Iknow it looks kinda hectic here, but trust me it's a lot of fun!

Hello Teeth

2009-06-08T21:09:00.000-07:00

Lily now has three little teeth. they came in kinda funny, her two top fangs, and one bottom tooth. John calls her "Cletus."

The Temple, I did IT!!

2009-06-08T20:37:00.001-07:00

What a beautiful day to go to the Temple. Then again, isn't it always a good day to go to the Temple?

I love this picture, I did the same pose with Reagan when she was the age.

John and little AnnaLily. What more needs to be said?

Reagan loves the Temple. Whenever she see it she says, "A Temple! A Temple! I did it! I did it!!" We're not real sure what she means by that, but it's stinkin' cute.

Another great time with Connor and Mason

2009-06-08T20:24:00.000-07:00

Mason loves to check up on Lily. He goes off and plays for a while, but he always comes back to check on her. He likes to pet her head, or as you can see here, stroke her little foot. What a nice guy!

Reagan and Connor get along so well. The two of them never seem to have a disagreement.

Here they all are...I have to mention that this was the hardest picture to get. The four of them were not very interseted in pausing their fun to pose for my silly picture!

SAN GEANERO

2009-05-10T12:58:00.000-07:00

Can I just tell you that John and I look foward to this all year long!! It's a huge Italian Festival with food, rides, crafts, and did I mention how amazing the food is??? I purposely starved myself the entire day so that I could really enjoy all the amazing cuisine the festival had to offer. This year we invited our dear friends the Llyods. John and Steve rode a mechanical bull, which only fed their hunger to ride a real bull. ( go figure) Reagan and Samantha ( whom Reagan refers to as "Mantha") had a blast at the petting zoo, while Whitney and I were blown away by 1000 thread count sheets for a mere 29.99. There's something for everybody!! Oh yeah, once again our little Lily is almost overlooked. She's truely the best baby around, and you could almost forget she was even there, if it wasn't for the the constant ooo-ing and ahh-ing from random people. Can't wait for the next San Geanero festival to come!!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!!

2009-05-10T12:32:00.000-07:00

It sure does feel like summer:) Last night we went to go see the Las Vegas 51's, it was the girl's very first ball game. What a beautiful night to be out, it was about 90 degrees, a little breezy, and we were playing Sacramento! Reagan and Lily had a wonderful time, they loved everything about it. The Two of them were all grins the entire night, (especially Reagan and John, they had all the stadium food they could handle). We are definitely going back very soon.

oh the hats we wear.....

2009-04-23T19:41:00.000-07:00

In our family we like to wear hats...even when Reagan can't find a hat to wear, she improvises.
THOSE ARE HER PANTS!!!

Happy Birhtday Daddy:)

2009-04-18T22:41:00.000-07:00

Ok, so if you didn't know it, John turned 25 April 3rd. Me, being the wonderful wife that I am, threw him a sort of surprise party. He knew that he was having a party, he just didn't know about all the people that I was inviting! I did some detective work and stole his blackberry, and got a hold of more of his friends. Everyone just loves John, and I could definitely tell by the enthusiasm everyone had about coming. We ate bbq chicken, ribs, patatoe salad, hamburgers, muddy buddies....(which Miss Eryn polished off all by herself, I believe she said,"Im about to put a hurt on those muddy buddies") The best part was the cake.....It said, "To a Whale of a Husband" With a picture of 16 year old John smack dab on it!

My love

2009-04-16T22:44:00.000-07:00

Have I mentioned how much I love this man?? Today I had an especially hard day at work, and I'm dredding tomorrow's busy-ness already. But here was my hot husband waiting for me at home! I can always count on him to help me relax. The first thing he did was ask me if there was anything he could do for me....then he forced me to put down my emails so that I could relax. What an amazing guy.

Salt Lake

2009-04-16T21:36:00.000-07:00

Yay, we got to go to Salt Lake a couple weeks ago. Gotta love getting away for awhile. We walked around temple square and took some great pictures..check it out.

CHEEEEEESE

2009-03-11T14:42:00.000-07:00

Have you ever seen a better smile?? That's our Lily for yah, always in a great mood.

Dirty Dirty

2009-03-11T14:38:00.000-07:00

Reagan thought she might show us how bad our car needed to be washed, especially the tires:)

See Yah Later Beard

2009-02-09T12:45:00.000-08:00

I wish i could say that I'll never see this beard again, however John really liked it. He plans to grow it even longer the first year of law school. Yay, I can hardly wait.

Rub a dub dub

2009-02-09T12:39:00.000-08:00

Today Reagan got up from bed and took a bath. I got her dressed and did her hair, and decided to start my own bath. Reagan thought that she just wasn' t clean enough, and took her pants off, (however kept her sweater on and added a hat) and jumped right in. SO SILLY!!

I love you Pooh bear

2009-02-09T12:33:00.000-08:00

Well I haven't blogged for awhile...so here it goes. Check out the latest and greatest moment from our Miss. Lily. This is how she took her nap today:)

Oh LILY!!!!

2009-01-20T21:06:00.000-08:00

Well, check out what our AnnaLily has learned to do. Reagan trys to push her back, but Lily may only be a few pounds less than her...so it's no easy task:) Maybe I should have hepled Lily out, but I decided to grab the camera first!!

Baby Reagan is 2!!

2009-01-20T20:50:00.000-08:00

We can't believe that our baby girl has turned two. We had a little party for her, here at home. She had a blast with her cousins Lon and Isabell! We got her the sweetest Elmo cake (Which was made out of cupakes actually). She got a some fun hats from her mommy and daddy. Daddy made sure he got her a basketball hoop...although I'm not sure who enjoys it more, him or her:) Grandma and Grandpa Coupe got her a special baby doll that can take a bath!! Aunt Marty sent her a funny lion with a very soft blanket. Cousin Landry got her an adorable outfit. Thank you everyone who shows our Reagan so much love and attention. She's growing up too fast.

I can SEE!!!

2009-01-09T21:38:00.000-08:00

AnnaLily got her very first haircut! She desperately needed bangs, since her hair was always in her eyes. What can we say, our kids are born with beautiful full heads of hair! Mommy was the one to do it, and she did a great job!

Christmas Eve Tradition

2008-12-25T00:28:00.000-08:00

What can we say? We love to open Presents early. However we have made a new tradition... we can open one gift on Christmas Eve, but it has to be pajamas. AND, the pajamas are Chritsmas pajamas. We kinda made an oopsie. John thought he handed me the package with my jammies, but it turned out to be Reagan's Care Bear. Whoops. She absolutely adored it, and she affectionately calls it her "Bear Care." Lily looked so great in her "Baby's 1st Christmas" P.J.'s....Until she threw up on me and herself. I should have known.

Christmas Came a Little Early!!

2008-12-25T00:12:00.000-08:00

We went to St. George to celebrate Christmas with our Grandma Lorna and Grandpa Tom...We didn't go on Christmas day, we got to go before!! yipee! That means opening some presents early, which to John is the greatest gift of all. That's the reason John shops the week before Christmas. He gets too excited, and wants us to open everying by the 20th. Reagan and Lily had an awesome time with thier cousins, Reagan only slept 6 hours. She didnt want to miss a thing. Grandma Lorna made yummy treats and even let Reagan decorate her first gingerbread man!

Holy White Stuff!

2008-12-17T20:02:00.000-08:00

WOW! what can we say? It's a winter wonderland! It started to snow around 3pm, and we had no idea that it would look like this by 4:30!! At first we thought it was beautiful and fun, but We gotta be honest with ourselves, it's getting a little scary. John has to go to work tonight at midnight, however if they continue to close the roads, he's not going anywhere! We're totally not used to this...we're from California for crying out loud! Thank goodness for a food storage, you never know!!

Thank you Aunt Marty

Aunt Marty sent the girls the cutest little matching fleece outfits. They're so cuddly and warm, the girls look great in them! I wanted them to take a picture together in them, but Reagan didn't want Lily to touch her!(as you can tell) I just love that smile on Lily...it doesn't get any better than this.

We'll miss you Mike!

Our dear sweet friend Mike Dahle is moving away. We're happy for him, but a little sad for us. Here are some great pictures of his going away surprise party.

Reagan all Tuckered out!

John put Reagan down for a nap, and instead of going right to sleep she played for about 30 minutes. When he went to check on her, he found her asleep like this! Silly girl.

John and Delicia 5th Anniversary

2008-12-08T19:12:00.000-08:00

We can hardly believe that another wonderful year has come and gone. John and I have been so blessed with a beautiful marriage, and never have we realized that more than after 2008. We've realized that even the strongest unions are tested, so many eternal bonds have been lost before our eyes. We should not be in the dark when it comes to things that could damage our chance at eternity. We love each other more than ever, and now we have two sweet little girls to prove it. Saturday Night was date night and we went to the Hilton to have dinner at the delicious Benihana...A.K.A Asian Hooters! (Can you tell we like the Office?)
Can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us.

Grandma Lorna visits!!

2008-12-03T21:56:00.000-08:00

Today we had a special treat... Grandma Lorna came for a visit! We had lunch at the very tasty Al's Garage, and had a blast. Reagan really didn't want Grandma to leave, she cried when she had to say goodbye. We love to have Grandma here, she gives us the scoop on the family happenings. We can't wait to see her again, and hopefully next time we'll be able to see our Grandpa Tom as well.

So much 2 be thankful for

Thanksgiving was so wonderful!! We had a lot of fun together as a family. The girls were wearing their adorable thanksgiving outfits...Reagan's shirt said "Everyone is thankful for me" and Miss Lily's said "baby's first thanksgiving". Reagan sat on the counter and helped me with the mashed patatoes, which I made in my brand new Kitchen-Aid mixer! John was finally able to catch up on some much needed rest, and AnnaLily smiled and giggled all day long. Hats off to my mother who made everything else!! We know we are so blessed to have our family. Another year to name our blessings one by one.

Annalily's Baby Blessing

2008-11-21T19:50:00.000-08:00

AnnaLily was blessed on October 26th. It was so wonderful to see her in the exact same blessing dress that our little Reagan wore just one year ago! Thank to all of our family and friends who were able to be there and support us. It was especially nice to have Uncle Bodie and Aunt Liz there. We love you all.

Go Vets!!

2008-11-19T15:02:00.000-08:00

Happy Veterans Day!! John and I decided to take the girls to the parade, and say thank you to the wonderful troops who served this country. We had a great time, and made sure we all looked very patriotic! Reagan got candy and waved and blew kisses to everyone in the parade. Lily slept through pretty much the entire thing. It was great to be able to show our gratitude to those who keep us free. Siting next to us was a young woman that had a shirt on with a picture of a good looking young man that said, "My Husband, My Hero." On the back of the shirt was his platoon number and the date that he died. He's definitely our hero too.

AnnaLily Consuelo

2008-11-18T18:07:00.000-08:00

Our Baby AnnaLily is three months old. She weighs 13 pounds and is 21 inches long! She's going to be our basketball player! She's in the 90th percentile for her height and weight! She wears 6 month clothes already!wow. She loves to smile and giggle. She is known as Yeye around here, nickname compliments of Reagan. She already sleeps through the night, and she adores her swing. She is such an angel, and we're so glad she picked us for her family!

2008-11-18T17:46:00.000-08:00

Our sweet little Reagan is 22 months old! She's starting to potty train, and loves being a big sister. We call her our little super genius. She sings along with the alphabet, she even attempts the troublesome "L M N O P". We love it when she says "Help me" its the cutest! She's no longer in the 10th percentile, she's all the way up to the 26th! She's our petite girl! She can hardly wait to talk more, there's always something she wants to tell us. Her favorite food is pancakes or french fries...her favorite beverage is Apple Juice. However she calls it Apple Jews:) She keeps us on our toes, and already is quite the social butterfly.

John and Delicia behind the SCENES

2008-11-18T14:01:00.000-08:00

We met in high school, in the teeny tiny town of Manteca California. He had an unmarked can of food that he wanted to eat and I just happened to have a can opener in my back pack! (I had just given a food presentation in my english class.) So I guess you could say that we complete each other! We've been together for six years, and it's only getting better. We belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we know who we are, we know Gods plan, we'll follow him in faith! (Just a little primary song for those of you who have kids under 12) We can't wait to see what the future holds for us, but we're not going to look too far ahead and miss out on today.

2008-11-18T13:40:00.000-08:00

Well, what can we say? We've decided to drop myspace and join the rest of the adults with a blog! If we ever see another "self portrait" it will be too soon!

Who are we? We're the Coupes! John (Daddy)currently is finishing up his his degree in political science. Delicia (Mama) works as an airbrush makeup artist for Estee Lauder. Reagan (Reagae) has just begun to master the art of PLEASE and THANK YOU. AnnaLily (Yeye) is currently working on rolling over...it'll be any day now!
We live in bustling Las Vegas Nevada, but not for long. John will be attending law school in about a year...and then who knows where we'll be!
