3rd Birthday

Cooper had a whole lot of birthday fun!! We spent the day of his actual birthday in Salina with some cousins. My cousin, Brian's, kids were staying the week with my Godparents, Aunt Judy and Uncle Jerry (their grandparents). Cooper, Maylea, and I drove there so that Cooper could play with the boys for a little while. They played very well together and had a good time. Aunt Judy had even bought some special "birthday" cookies for them to all eat to celebrate Cooper's birthday....they even sang to him.

Cooper got another special present all the way from TX. He got this adorable teddy bear wearing a sweatshirt with a picture of Jackson and Cooper. In the picture, you can't see it, but Cooper and Jackson both have on a t-shirt that says Big Brother. Jackson will be a big brother in October.

Cooper got a "Big Boy Bike" from mommy and daddy for his birthday. Cooper does not ride it very well on gravel.....however he does very well on concrete.

The weekend following Coopers birthday mom and dad were able to come down to celebrate his birthday. We had the annual "Save the Pool" festival at our city park. We all (our family, Joshua's dad and step mom, and mom and dad) went to the park and ate dinner (everything is a donation to saving the pool). Then we went to the house, opened presents, and ate cake. Mom made the cutest "M&M" dispenser (would say bubble gum, but you will understand when you see the presents) cake. She did a great job, and we all enjoyed eating it. After cake we went back to the park for the ice cream social.

Mom had ordered these cute M&M to put into the dispenser for Cooper. He always says, "mommy, can I have some M&M's? The ones with the Cooper's on them."
