Happy Birthday Coop!!!



Our big 4-year-old... oh my! 

I will never forget that moment when I first laid eyes on our baby boy!  Such a wonderful blessing who truly lights up our lives, and we love him to pieces.  Cooper is such a creative little man.  We are so proud of him, and he never ceases to amaze us each and every day with his unbelievable memory!  Some of his favorite things right now include all the "boy stuff" - Transformers, Batman, Spiderman, Star Wars, Legos, and of course anything construction related {especially if it's Komatsu ;)}.  He loves wrestling with his little brother, drawing, and playing games on the Ipad.  He recently told us when he grows up he wants to be a doctor just like his Poppy because "he just likes helping people."  So cute!  Definitely wish we could freeze him at this age!  Quit growing up so fast big guy!  We love you, Cooper Joseph!

Mason showing us how big Cooper is!

Opening his present from Great Grandpa & Grandma Marsh.

Both Mason and Cooper absolutely love this Fire Station!

Now time for his presents from Mommy, Daddy & Mason...

He got a new Spiderman fishing pole and a pop-up tent! 

Perfect gifts for a summer birthday boy :)

Cooper chose his birthday dinner menu - Grilled Chicken "on the bone" (cracked up when he requested that!), watermelon, and corn on the cob - all his favs :)

Giant chocolate cupcake from Gigi's cupcakes!

This boy is a major chocolate lover!!  Hmm...Wonder where he got that from?

Cooper's Birthday Party!

So much fun at Snapperz!  Started off with bowling!

Then bumper cars!!

Birthday boy eating some pizza!

Gotta love the blue tongue!

Clearly the blow horns were a hit with the kiddos!

So excited about his new excavator!

Hanging with his brother... Poor Mason wasn't feeling the best but finally decided to try some of the slides before he fell asleep. 

Cooper had such a great time at his 4th birthday celebration.  A big thanks to our family and friends who were able to come have fun with us that day and made it extra special for our sweet Cooper-man!  We love you all! xxoo

Our Last Day!

Riding the Monorail to the Magic Kingdom for our last day in Disney World!

Already super hot outside! 

Cooper loved meeting Mickey & Minnie and getting their autographs...

but Mason wasn't digging Mickey and even tried to make an escape!

Although, he didn't mind when Daddy was right there with him ;)

Watching the parade!

One of the Disney dancers got Mason out of the stroller to come and dance with her and all the characters in the parade.  Cooper was happy just watching from his stroller. :)

Ready to make Daddy sick on the teacup ride.  Mommy loves this one...Daddy-notsomuch.

Cooper and Daddy at the very top of the hill on the Barnstormer Rollercoaster!

Waiting in line to go in the Haunted Mansion.  These two were pretty scared the entire time in line and even during the ride Cooper kept his hands over his ears.  I had to keep telling him the ghosts were "silly" and pretend.  :)  Afterwards, Grant & Coop tried to act all brave and give each other high-fives like it was the best ride ever.  The Macho Man stuff starts at a young age, huh?  Haha :)

Bye Bye, Mickey!  It's always hard to leave Disney World... in fact, I'm missing it already looking back through all our pictures.  We had a great time and made lots of special memories!

DISNEY!! Day #5

Disney's Hollywood Studios!

Started the morning with a cold treat!  Mr. Mason looks like he's in an ice cream coma...

So this ride was a little intense, and I was second-guessing my decision to take Cooper on it during the ride but he swears it was his favorite ride.  I have to admit it was pretty cool!  Now he is all about Star Wars!

The Tower of Terror!!

Only Aunt Teppy & EJ were brave enough to ride this crazy elevator!

(front row)

The Muppet 3-D movie is super cute!  Mason was literally laughing out loud!  I was so surprised he kept his 3-D glasses on the whole time.

This little guy is all about the slides!

Cooper found this dump truck on the way out of the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids movie set.  I'm always begging him to let me take his picture but this time he asked me to take one of him and even climbed past the ropes to get right next to the truck. :)
