Happy Birthday Cooper!

Cooper celebrated his 7th birthday! He is so happy to be 7, he is growing up so fast. It is hard to believe that in one year, he will be getting baptized. I guess it is just hard for be to believe I have a child that is 7! Anyway, Cooper had a fabulous day and loved being able to spend the day with his cousins, aunts, uncles, Grandma and Grandpa!


In our family we love to celebrate birthdays! Here is Cooper blowing out the candles on his cake. It took him forever to make his wish, we had to encourage him to HURRY UP! We all wanted to eat the cupcakes!

In the morning, Cooper couldn't wait to get up and open his presents. Charlee and Griffin gave him some Star Wars figurines - which he loves! Mom and Dad gave him a few games for the Wii and a new Razor Scooter. He wanted a skateboard, but I think he is still to little for one!
After school Grandma and Grandpa came with a surprise! We made him go to his room and close his eyes (we didn't want to wrap it!) Finally, he was able to come out and see what it was. It was really funny, he opened his eyes and when his saw the box, he pretended to pass out on the couch. It was cute! My mom and I decided to go in together on this present, and we are glad we did. We couldn't get him to stop playing and it was way past his bedtime!
Here is the best Grandma in the world. We sure do love this woman! If it weren't for my mom, our family would be a mess! She is what keeps us all together. I love you mom, and I know that everyone else does too. Thanks for all you do for me and our family!

Cooper, Charlee, Ethan and Conner - they have so much fun together. Cooper decided that he wanted to have tin foil dinners for his birthday dinner. So, we had everyone put together their tin foil dinner and we cooked them outside in the fire pit. Actually, I think Mike, Victor, Scott and my Dad cooked every ones food. All of us girls stayed in the house and talked (we didn't want to smell like campfire....ewwww!) and the kids played outside.

Thanks everyone for celebrating the day with us. Cooper had a great day!
