Royals and Solo Sliding

Last week Chad and his folks took Cooper on vacation to Branson. They had a great time!
I on the other-hand stayed home with the dogs and my job. But, I did drive down to Kansas City and meet them on Saturday to take in a very wet and soggy Royals game (Over an hour rain delay). Although the Royals lost, we had a great time. He ran around the whole park with his little Royals bat.


Coop found the Merry-Go-Round too late to buy any more tokens so, he just stood on the railing, watched it go round and pointed at all the other kids. It was cute, but kinda sad. Next time we'll know -- buy tokens early!

Tonight he was playing on his slide. See the video below and you can watch him go down the slide all by himself. He's getting to be such a big boy! Anyway, I thought this pic of Chad and Coop playing with the slide was just too cute.


What a joy! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Visit to Sunken Gardens

Chad and I were taking Cooper to the Lincoln Children's Zoo today, but when we got there, the zoo had closed early. So we walked through the Sunken Gardens and played in the grass. Still a great day!

Cooper Feeding Mickie

Tonight was Ladies Golf League. While I was at golf, Chad hung out with Cooper and they cleaned up the house for another showing tomorrow. (Keep your fingers crossed! If you haven't heard, our house is for sale and we're building a new one on the golf course here in Seward. See pictures below.)

Anyway - Chad and Cooper were home tonight and Chad picked up a piece of dog food off the floor and fed it to the dog. Cooper took it from there and the sweet video follows. Cooper and his puppy are the best of friends. Tonight they were playing ball, Cooper throws it - Mickie fetches and brings it back to him. As our friend Jessica says, "they're litter-mates!"

Every day we're amazed by our blessings, we can think of no better life than this!

Quick Cooper

Here are a couple of quick pictures of Cooper!

We went to the Husker Baseball game on Mother's Day. Cooper was outside the ballpark trying to push these great big baseballs.


My 2nd Mother's Day - so amazing!


Here we are with our Godparent group from church. The kids are so great, we'll miss them this summer. Pastor called Cooper the group mascot! They love him and he loves them!

We've tried a few different hairstyles with Coop's new shorter 'doo! This was a sort of mohawk, looks more like a shark fin! :)

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Weekend.

Cooper Clears His Crib

Cooper was "taking a nap" on Friday. He started to fuss a little so I went to check on him. Here's what I found!




By the way, after he got the blanket and binkie back, he took a 2 hour nap!

Chocolate Bunny

We started our Easter weekend with our friends Ann and Maddie at the Easter Egg Hunt at the Governor's Residence. We had a great time and Cooper loved his eggs!


Then on Easter morning we were greeters for a wonderful service our church holds at the Fairgrounds. Cooper was a wonderful greeter and loved watching all of the kids.

When church was over, the Easter bunny brought Cooper a bucket full of fun bath toys, a couple of new Husker shirts, some Wonderpets and a Wonderpets DVD and a new bowl and spoon set!


We went out for lunch with Chad's mom and dad. After a long nap, Cooper had his first Chocolate Bunny. There's a cute little video at the end of the post so you can see him enjoying his treat!

We hope that you all enjoyed your Easter Day as much as Cooper!
Love,
