Christmas 2014

We spent a wonderful week in Texas with Uncle Bobby and D'Lana for Christmas.  We got to visit with Katie and Erik and celebrate Bennett's first Christmas.

We went ice skating at the Galleria Mall in Dallas and Cooper got to play for two hours at the Lil' Ninja's playplace just like the big American Ninja Warriors. 

Cooper worked at the store with Auntie D :)

Santa brought roller blades, a scooter and a guitar!

Santa got a cupcake and milk!

Cooper spent a lot of time in Erik's Star Wars collections room and Erik helped him make his pinewood derby car for Cub Scouts. 

Cooper also got a hat from Uncle Bobby and Auntie D to match his cowboy boots from last year. 

We made artichokes, stuffed mushrooms, honey balls and all our traditional yummy foods :)

This and that around here :)

Cooper's been playing...a lot :)

Dressing up... a lot :)

(Tommie our elf came this week)

Dr. Cooper has been putting on some plays from some of his books he wrote....

And we've been having a lot of fun!

Thanksgiving 2014

Mom came into town for the month so she could help me with Cooper as I continued training for the new job and she was able to be here for Thanksgiving!  We had a lovely day at the Broadmoor for dinner and then the kids ice skated at Acacia Park!

Halloween 2014

We finally got to put to good use the this storm trooper custom that was handed down from the Wise family!  Cooper had a blast this Halloween and since I was in training in Kansas City for Walsworth...Cooper got to trick or treat with his dad.

Aunt Kimmy and Uncle Trey sent this great traditional Tajek outfit that Cooper is also wearing around so he can be the "prince".

Soccer season Fall 2014

Cooper has loved being a part of I9 sports since we only have games and practice back to back on Saturdays. At the last game of the season, Cooper was the goalie and block a score and we so excited!  That was the extent of his thrill of the game :)

We love spending time with our friends more than playing sports...ha!
