Cooper is 4!

A lot of people say something to the effect of: if their 2nd child had been their first, they might not have had more children. The opposite is true for me. At year 4, Cooper J remains so sweet, so mellow, so smiley and loveable. I want to be sad that he is growing up, but that is a privilege denied to so many.

We celebrated Cooper's birthday the weekend prior at his choice place....the bounce house. 

He had his annual check up with Dr. Sponenberg on his birthday. We picked up Grandma Delores and went for Hibachi lunch. He wasn't too sure!

We had dinner at home on his actual birthday. 

And finally, his 4 year old interview:

June 2018

June was all about being outside. 

Both boys started riding bikes without training wheels. Cooper is on a balance bike and I think he will be ready for a regular bike soon. It took Griffin just a couple days with the balance bike and he was ready to ditch the training wheels for the bike that Mimi gave him. 

I was able to help with hay and we sure did a lot of it. The weather was hot so we swam, played in mud, and just enjoyed summer. Tammy and I took the boys to Silver Dollar City when I was sick and the temp was so high that we rode ALL the water rides with the intention of getting soaked. 

Shiloh and Chris came for a Father's Day/Grandma Kathi birthday dinner. The boys also rode their bikes for the first time in a parade during the all school reunion in the Alumni Parade. Despite a newspaper error, Cooper took 2nd place for his decorations!
