Coop is TWO!!!!

The first year definitely did not go by quickly but we feel like Cooper's 2nd year has flown by! Our little bug is two!!! Below are a few pics from his b-day party.

Cooper loves when Pa-Pa sings him show tunes.

Notice the Christmas wrapping paper...

He wasn't sure if he wanted to eat Muno

This is my favorite...wow...just wait to Christmas Eve at 11pm when we realize we need to put the toys together...LOL!!

I have to toot my horn for a minute...I was pretty proud of my cake!!

Beach Bums

We spent a fun filled afternoon at the beach. Cooper loved the waves and going crazy with his cousins. It was fun to watch Grandpa run around like a kid too...

Cooper's mentor Holden. We've been home for 5 days and Cooper keeps asking "where did Holden go mama"???

GO, GO, GO....

I think this is the coolest pic ever....Sierra & Katelyn

"Pretend City"

Coop & I are in Irvine visiting Matt, Alisa & crew (along with granba & granbma). Jon is at home enjoying his "freedom". Today we went to a place called "pretend city" where they have a doctor's office, post office, grocery store, beach, farm, etc...where kids can pretend they're grown up. Cooper basically tore the place to pieces, it was a lot of fun and he enjoyed his cousins!!

Janitor...hmm....

"go, go, go..."

Going To The Greek

I took Cooper to the Greek festival last week and put him on his first amusement park ride. It was small and went slow so I thought he'd like it. I was wrong. As you can see in the montage he gets angrier the more times he goes around.

On A Jet Plane

When Cooper and I take Michelle to the airport we usually swing by the airport park and watch the planes take off.

Guerilla In The Mist

We headed down to Lake Keowee for part of the Labor Day weekend to stay some friends who make an annual trip down there. Cooper, who has taken to whining quite often, moaned for most of the 3 hour car ride down there. On the morning we woke up to leave, we got these tasteful nudes down by the water right after sunrise. Michelle and Cooper actually watched the sunrise. I woke up later and took pictures.

Boo Boo

Michelle and I usually split up park trips with Cooper. All three of us went one time and I thought it was admirable (yet odd) how interactive Michelle was on the kids playground equipment. Great mom? Without a doubt. Weird lady trying to make it across the monkey bars? Possibly. Anyway, tonight she fell from some piece of playground equipment and appears to have a mild ankle sprain.
