Cooper's pics Spring/Summer 2018

 A couple pics of Cooper:

 Cooper had basketball practice on his birthday. Afterwards we went out for icecream and they ate it outside in the FREEZING COLD.  

 "I will be old. I can ride a motorcycle. I will have a beard. I will be in the army and a beatboxer and I do not say bad words. I might live in Sioux Falls. I will have a lot of friends. I will name them Beau, Isaac, Reid, Jaxson, Brody and Kieper." (Those are the names of all of his current buddies) 

 Bikes on snow!

 I came downstairs one day and found Cooper well armed!  

 Blue eyes

 "Today I am sick. I have to stay home with my dad! I am so glad."

 "Football is better than tennis because in football you have big muscles. In tennis you do not. If football you use a football but in tennis you use a little ball. In football you throw and tackle. In tennis you swing a racket." This boy LOVES football!

 Coops and his infamous 6 pack 

 I looked over at Cooper one day in church and he was drawing this. EEEK

 Sweet note Coops left on my desk

 He wanted to sneak up on the brothers and see if they would recognize him.

 Loving life!

Wearing Papa's clothes!

Cooper's quotes:

"Mom, I'm champing these spelling words like a boss!"

After stepping on a Lego one day he yelled out: "Cornelius Fudge!" (A character from Harry Potter)

Cooper: "Mom, is there a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow?"
Me: "No"
Cooper: "Maybe though?"
Me: "No"
Cooper: "But what if a person put a pot of gold on the ground at the end of a rainbow?"
(He will never back down or lose a debate)

Cooper to Papa when Papa took off his shirt: "Nice one pack, Papa!"

Carter: "S'up Bruh?"
Cooper: "Don't call me bra!"
Carter: "Not BRA! I said Bruh! Like Bro."
Cooper: "It's too close. Let's go with Bro!"

Cooper's Birthday Party

Cooper begged to have his 8th birthday party at a local water park, Splasher's. Because of the cost per person we told him he could only invite 2 friends. The next thing we know, he has convinced his best buddy Isaac to have a joint birthday party so they could each invite friends and maximize the fun!

 First, the adults! Richard and Isaac's grandparents did come as well. We had fun chilling in our cabana:)

 The dudes! Beau Walsh, Brody Leddige, Jaxson Sigdahl, Isaac Dafoe and Coops

 Cooper and Isaac were on the same basketball team this winter so we thought this cake was appropriate!

 Carter and Tim played a ton of bball. Coops and the gang mostly ran around like crazy boys!

 They had such a great (messy, loud, crazy) time!

Cooper Turns Seven!

Cooper is now 7 years old...sigh...life speeds on!

He woke up and took his shirt off (like usual). When I asked to take a birthday picture he showed us his muscles:)

 Presents! Legos and games for the X-Box were the big hits this year. 

 We had a little Cherry Berry after school with his brothers and friend, Channing. 

 Cooper got to invite 6 friends to his party that we had in the Grace Baptist Church. (Channing, Kieper, Brody, Isaac, Beau, and Jaxson)

Tim organized some games but the boys mostly ran around. Cooper LOVED it!

Cooper's 6th Birthday

 For Cooper's 6th birthday he wanted to go swimming at Choice pool. He invited his bestie Mason and school/church friend Isaac. We made them all wear life jackets so it was easy peasy!

Hanging out in the lobby. At least Crosby heard me say, "look at the camera"! 

 We had a couple of minutes to spare while waiting to pick up the pizza so we did a little photo shoot in front of the pink horse at Good Will. Why not?

 Cooper picked out a Power Ranger cake and asked for lots of Power Ranger toys.

 Presents! It's always a 3 brother event:) Cooper got some Ninjago lego guys and wanted to look at the picture on my computer to set them up just right.

Tim had to leave for work on Coops actual birthday so after school I just took the boys to Cherry Berry for one more celebration. Our friends, the Greens joined us. Good times. 

Happy birthday, dear Cooper!
