Happy Birthday Cooper!

Still trying to play catch-up. I thought Cooper needed a much deserved shout-out for his birthday...2 months ago ;-)

It was all about Diego and thank goodness for the Party Store because everywhere Mommy looked was all about Dora, which would not have been acceptable. He also got lucky because Uncle Brett and Uncle Chad were in town for Papa's retirement party so they were able to celebrate with him! It was pretty low-key given the amount of events already planned for the weekend, but he got to have the Addison's over so he was pleased.


Cooper, Jason, Connor, and Christopher eating. Take note of the sibling placement, makes for a much more enjoyable meal...for the parents anyway!


DIEGO cake!


Going in for his 1st attempt at blowing out the candles...luckily we did not have another incident like this one!


2nd and final attempt...and some frosting on his shirt


"Oh no, I got frosting on my shirt"


"frosting is good"


"frosting is very good and I'm going to save some for later"



Cooper LOVES guitars. He has guitar shirts, guitar underwear, guitar swim trunks, and shoes with guitars on them. So, it was only fitting that for his birthday he should get a guitar. He really rocks it out, if you don't believe me just ask him, he will tell you! (more to come)
