HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COOPER!!!

Cooper turned TWO last week!!! Can you believe it?!? The day before his birthday I made his cake and both he and Kamryn wanted to help me make the frosting. Baking is very messy when you are working with a two year old.



When Cooper woke up on this birthday he was very grumpy . . . luckily it only took balloons, presents and waffles to make him happy.

Cooper with Buzz and Woody . . . Cooper loves Toy Story and when Mike discovered that they sold these guys we knew what he would be getting for this birthday.

After opening presents, we picked up my nephews and took the kids to Pump it Up. They had so much fun bouncing around and sliding down this slide.

Cooper and his birthday cake. Can you guess what it was . . . a surfboard.

For his birthday, Cooper received a water table from Grandpa and Grandma Nielsen. He loves it and plays with it daily. If you have been around Cooper recently then you know that he prefers to wear a diaper around the house (without clothes). However, when he is outside the diaper comes off especially if he gets wet. After playing with the water table for a day or two, Cooper decided that it would be much more fun if he just ditched the diaper and bathed in it instead. Here he is in all of this glory!

Here is a picture of the cupcakes I made for Cooper's party. My friend Brandy helped me make the cute sign and cupcake toppers. They turned out really cute!

Kamryn was so cute at the party. She sprawled out on Grandma's lap and slept almost the entire time.

I just seems like yesterday when he was born and now he is a sweet, independent toddler. Cooper we love you so very much and are so proud of the boy you are becoming. We couldn't imagine life without you. You are always making us laugh and doing crazy things to keep us on our toes. We can't wait to see what is in store for you in the future.
