Cooper tuns 7!

We had a great birthday party at the bowling alley with all of Cooper's friends!

He also got to celebrate at school with all his friends...

Watch out world, this kid is 7!

.....and we are off!

We've been spending a lot of time these days practicing our bike riding skills. Take off troubles and a lot of "Mommy don't let go!" but all of a sudden....he was off!

And the next weekend we were biking together a long the roads less traveled! I love my new biking buddy!

First grade again :)

With Cooper entering the Colorado education system barely making the cut off for kindergarten, we knew it would catch up to us.  First grade was the perfect grade to get a "do again" year and Cooper couldn't be more thrilled! Same teacher but a different classroom and a great group of kids!

Summer fun 2014

We had a great Florida summer!  We stayed in Florida from Memorial weekend until August and soaked up every minute of it!  Cooper was able to spend a lot of time with his dad and the Britt side of the family, we attended Hope's high school graduation, visited with Nathan and Reese and all our Florida friends and of course, had lots of cousin time before the Howerton family moved off to Dushanbe, Tajikistan!

Memorial Day Weekend 2014

 We flew into Florida this weekend to surprise Grammie for her 70th birthday on Sunday.  I didn't end up pulling off the surprise because I hated the idea of her thinking she was alone all day and then we surprised her in the evening so we told her a week in advance.  We are having a great time and plan on spending the entire summer here!
