First Santa Sighting of the Year

Here is sweet Cooper sitting on Santa's lap telling Santa he wants a "batman cave" for Christmas! Didn't get real great pictures so I'm hoping to take him to see another Santa next week!

On the way home he was telling me all the things we need to leave for Santa on Christmas Eve: cookies and milk and syrup and bacon. And, carrots for the reindeer.

Christmas Trees 2011

While I think this is a lovely tree...


This is the one that warms my heart the most this Christmas.


Obviously, Cooper played a pivotal role in ornament placement and I wouldn't have it any other way. Pretty sure this tree reflects a pure Christmas spirit!

Frosting the Elf on the Shelf

This is Frosting. That's the name Cooper chose for his Elf on the Shelf. Every night, Frosting flies to the North Pole and reports to Santa. The next morning we find him in a new place in the house. Fun for the whole family. If you know of a family with little kids this is a super fun Christmas tradition to start!

Super Cooper Saves the Day!

Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.8

Cousins gotta play!

When Barbara and MoJo came for the Sesame Street Live weekend, the kids played the hearts out!
Watching them play together is amazing. Reminds me of God's blessings in our lives!

Cooper being Cooper

Not quite 3 years old. He LOVES to 'play Halloween'! Super Heros are his favorite dress up characters!
He was fighting evil as Spiderman, on his motorcycle!Left his mask on the motorcyle handle bar, of course, where else would you put it?Our BIG BOY got a new big boy bed for his birthday! BUNK BEDS! He is thrilled and already knows he sleeps on the bottom, and his toys sleep on the top....for now.He was so exhausted from the day of bunk bed assembly that he fell asleep early! He's in a HUGE 'Tangled-phase' LOVES the Disney movie. He fell asleep clutching his Rapunzel and Flynn Rider figures!Cooper is the sweetest boy ever; with an imagination that inspires me every day!

Christmas at Grandpa Lyle and Grandma Sues

We celebrated a late Christmas in North Platte with Grandpa Lyle and Grandma Sue. Here are a few pics of Coop opening and playing with his presents.


Grandpa Lyle is kind of hard to say. So, Cooper has just kind of smushed things together and refers to them as 'Grandpa Sue'! We all kind of think this is hilarious, except Lyle of course! ;-)

Sesame Street Live!

McKenzie Jo had extra tickets to Sesame Street Live at Pershing. So, they invited Cooper and I to come with them! Coop had to bring his Elmo along. But, I think his favorite in the show was Super Grover!
He wasn't too interested in pausing for pictures.
I was kind of surprised, the show was actually very fun and the kids LOVED it!
Barbara had to nearly tackle him for a picture. He thought it was funny!
He got a set of the figures and spent the entire show matching the characters on stage to the ones in his hands; trying to reenact what was happening on the stage!

Confetti cannons at the end!
My sweet MoJo!

Happy Birthday Pirate Cooper

Happy 3rd Birthday, Cooper!


We celebrated Coop's 3rd Birthday with a low-key pirate party at our house. Here are a few pics of the celebration!

Sword fighting with Larson!Opening some pirate presents.Pausing for a quick picture with Great Grandma Donna. Cupcakes fit for a pirate!


But, he didn't like it when we sang Happy Birthday. He ran sobbing to his bedroom. I didn't think my singing was that bad?


But, he rebounded to share a cupcake with Papa.


Can't wait to see what Year 3 has in store for us all!

About 5 years in about 2 minutes

A friend shared this cool new website: http://pummelvision.com/

Pummelvision pulled all of the photos that I have uploaded to Facebook. It created a video of those pics. So cool! The video is such a fun journey, it starts BC (in our world, that's Before Cooper) and goes through the last few years. I hope you enjoy the look back - I did!
