Happy 30th, Daddy!!!!

Here are some pictures from EJ's actual birthday ...
(BTW Cooper's really getting into singing "Happy Birthday" after having both his and Daddy's birthdays back to back.... and now every time I light a candle he says, "birthday cake! Its Mommy's birthday!")

Here are a couple pics from EJ's birthday party night...

We had so much fun celebrating with our family and friends! Thanks to all who made this night a blast!!

Happy 4th of July!!

After so many action packed weekends this summer we decided to have a low-key 4th of July at home with our little family. It was a great summer day - running through the sprinkler, eating popsicles, hamburgers & corn on the cob, sparklers and a few fireworks - Cooper was pretty scared of the fireworks and didn't sleep too well that weekend! :(

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

For Coop's actual birthday, we had a great home cooked family dinner - lasagna (Cooper's fav) and strawberry pie. Then we headed downtown for the Indian's game. Coop-man lasted about 4 innings then got pretty squirmy! We had so much fun walking on the canal and even took a paddle boat out on the canal.

Cooper Turns Two!

Well, after just returning from Disney World of course we had to have a Mickey themed birthday party with our family. :) Cooper loved his banana-flavored Mickey cake!

Happy Summer!

We are having a great summer and hope you are too! We really enjoyed our special trip to Disney World with so many magical memories. It was so hard to leave!

day at the zoo

We really lucked out and had beautiful weather for our trip to the zoo! Some of cooper's favorite animals were the elephants (he pronounces them with a /d/ in front - "delephants"), giraffes, dolphins, and penguins. It was surprisingly not busy at all and we had a great time with our little animal lover!

happy st. patty's day!

SNOW DAY!!!

We had so much fun playing in the snow........

Somebody was NOT happy when it was time to go back inside!!! :(

Lights....Camera.... Action!

We took Cooper to see his first movie in the theater - Alvin & the Chipmunks, The Squeakwel! He LOVED it!!!! He sat very still and watched the first hour anbut after that he was ready to get up and run around.



Hmm... I'll take one of each please. :)

Here he is laughing at the previews for a dog movie. He thought that was pretty funny! :)
