Cooper's Christmas Program

I promised a video of Cooper's Christmas Program... and here it is. :) He hid behind one of his friends, so you'll only catch little glimpses of the little guy!! It was still WAY CUTE!!

Christmas ~ 2010

I don't even know where to begin with the Christmas post. Cooper got a TON of cool stuff!! Santa came to our house and left some awesome things ...Then we went to Grandpa & Grandma's and there were even MORE goodies from Santa!!! Coop got a new BIKE!!Here is Uncle Myles and Grandpa with the girls -- (Dad has Lucy, and Uncle Myles has Lyla)Dallas even got her very own bed for Christmas!! She LOVES it!!We ended up having to leave Grandma's house because it was snowing pretty good... and we didn't want to get stranded. I tried to get a good pic, but it was kinda dark. The backyard was covered in snow!! SO PRETTY!!! Nothing like a white christmas!!THANK YOU to Big Grandpa, the Foley's, Culps, and Foley/Carrington's for all the awesome gifts!!!

Tour of Trees....

Every year, we do a little "tour of trees", where we go to our families houses, and take pics with the trees. We started this year off over at our house...
Then we went to Jeffy & Ash-wee's...Unfortunately the kids were spent after the first two stops, so Ash and I headed out to Uncle Myles' house....GOOD TIMES!! Can't wait till the tour next year!! (Maybe we'll actually start early enough that kids will make it to every stop!)

SANTA @ Chilli's!!???!

The other day, we went to Chilli's for dinner and SANTA showed up!! (Cooper even said that Santa probably parked his sleigh on TOP of the restaurant!!). This Santa was SO nice, and we got a family pic!! (I can't believe I was wearing my bowling sweater!! HAHAH)

Bryson's 5th Birthday

Our good friend, Brittany, had a birthday party for her son Bryon (5) at a jumpy place. So of COURSE, we joined in on the party!!Coop was WAY shy at first, but after 20 minutes, he was following Bryson around EVERYWHERE.He REALLY enjoyed air hockey!and driving...I still can't beleive this kid randomly now likes cake!HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY BRYSON!!!!!!!

TSO - 2010

This year we got tickets to TSO (Trans Siberian Orchestra) and took Coop with us!!!! Cooper LOVED it --- for a while.
Here's Daddy and Coop waiting for the show to begin...It was REALLY loud in there, and I think because of that, Coop held on tight to daddy's hand. (SOOO CUTE)He kept saying that he thought the "rock stars" were awesome. Although, this is him half way through the show...Not quite sure if he'll wanna go see the "rock Stars" again. Next, I hope to get him to a Cirque show.

Brodey's Christmas Program...

We were lucky enough this year to go to Brodey's Christmas Program. Cooper helped me take pics (and he took a LOT of himself!). Brodey was the CUTEST little wise man EVER. Coop took this picture of himself (it was upsidedown, but I figured I'd be nice and upload it right-side up.)Brocky cracks me up!silly boys!

Kali's Graduation!!

I use this blog to update friends and family mainly on Cooper. However, Kali GRADUATED, and I believe that's definitely Blog worthy!!
We got there early and were able to get seating up in a "box" (WAY COOL!)Here is Dad and Myles (with the same facial expressions) waiting for the ceremony to begin...Way to go Kali!!!!Afterwards we all went and had a celebratory lunch, then Kali, Myles, Travis, Stick and I hit a bar - where we were able to play Yahtzee! WAY COOL!! Such a fun day!! Congrats Kali!!!

School Projects

Daddy and I went into Coops class the other day for his Parent/Teacher conference. Ms Eva filled us in on Cooper's progress. He's been doing excellent with counting in English and Spanish, he knows his alphabet and can recognize words. She also said he has a hard time focusing while in large groups, but that is pretty normal for 4 year olds. She also said he LOVES science experiments - especially the messy ones! Cooper told us they made a "rocket" out of a coke bottle by adding Mento's candy - we know all about this one - (Thanks to Cam for spewing coke all over our garage ceiling a few years back).
When I went in to pick Cooper up yesterday, I got to see this project -Made by Coopers very own hands and foot!!!Cooper's class also has a Holiday Program next Tuesday 12/14! I cannot WAIT to see the little guy in action!! Daddy will miss it, as he will be in Destin (at the Skycraper), but I will be sure to get LOADS of pictures!!

Cooper's Class has show-and-tell every Thursday. This Thursday, Ms Eva wanted all the kids to make their own snowman, with items found around the house. Turns out I had a LOT of crafty stuff laying around!! (LUCKILY!) So Coop, Daddy and I got to work...
