My co-worker/friend at school made the cake for Coopster.  She said that she would make it and then I told her…well, it has to have a space shuttle, solid rocket boosters, and an external cake.  Amazingly, she still agreed!  Thanks Holly, you did an awesome job.

Silly Lawson and Carrie.  It was in the high 40’s for the Birthday party. We had a fire pit (compliments of Holly) outside.  Lawson was taking advantage of Julia’s hat.   Man, it looks good on him.01 30 10_0337

With my parents living in Washington State, it is always SO nice to have family around to help celebrate special occasions.

The kids had a ton of fun playing in the playroom and Cooper’s room.  Even the mom’s had fun!2010-01-30 at 11-04-29 2010-01-30 at 11-11-10

Before MeMaw left, we tried to get Cooper to pose for a picture.  He was not interested.  This is the best that we could get!  2010-01-30 at 11-21-03   

Presents.  With Cooper’s birthday and Christmas so close to one another, we actually put some of the presents away to bring out later in the year.  Otherwise, I think that toys don’t get played with because there are so many new things.  However, Cooper did have fun opening presents.  He wanted to open them as soon as people brought them in the door.  Thank you to all our generous friends.  Cooper is well loved.2010-01-30 at 11-25-21 2010-01-30 at 11-25-55

Time for cake!  Cooper was jumping up and down in front of the cake table from the time the cake made it in the house. He was thrilled with the cake and so were his parents.  Holly is amazing!  The cake is even complete with the NASA logo.  2010-01-30 at 11-44-44 2010-01-30 at 11-45-42

Fun was had by all.  It is so fun to have kids and birthdays to celebrate.  Each birthday brings more job and more memories.  Happy Birthday, Cooper.  You will always be my favorite little boy!
