Coop's big party

We had a fish fry for Cooper's big party and even though it was a busy weekend we were still blessed to have lots of family and friends come to help him celebrate. Even better we missed the rain that day but got to keep the cooler temps!

Coop cheesin' it up

All of the yummy cakes.

Cooper looking to make sure he could really get into it.

haha- he thought he was pretty funny!

then of course had to show off a little :)

Andi and TJ were good role models and tried to help their little brother...

The "after" picture

Coop helping me unwrap presents...I think this was the first and only present that he was interested in...thank goodness I had helpers that were ready to step in!

Andi and TJ more than ready to help.

Cooper didn't get into his cake too much but later he had some cake and ice cream and thoroughly enjoyed it!

shoving it in...

yum- who needs fingers!

"hi!" - making sure we knew what was going on...

The following weekend we headed to Illinois for Kale's big 1st Birthday party...of course I was a good big sister and took photos for Gina on her camera so I have no pictures of my own.
