I cannot believe that Cooper...

will be 3 in less than 3 days!
is almost fully potty trained!
has not a pappy since Labor Day!
is in a toddler bed!
is no longer a baby anymore...but little does he know, he will ALWAYS be my baby!!

Starting today we will begin Cooper's birthday celebrations. C is just like his mommy, Birthdays are not just one day, You are special and You get at least a week to celebrate your birth!! First, he will have a small birthday party at school today with cupcakes and school friends. Tomorrow morning, all his little buddies will be at the house bouncing in the jumpy jump and will have a surprise visit from our local fire department. Then at 4, our family and mommy's friends will come over once again to celebrate Cooper's 3rd birthday. We will have yet another cake, this time a cookie cake! Along with hot dogs, fruit, cheese cubes, chips, and spinach dip. YUM-O! Sunday is Coop's actual birthday, so we will start the day off with a birthday breakfast of Coop's favs...pancakes, bacon, sausage, and biscuits. The rest of the day will be just hanging with Coop...and James. My 2 favorite guys! I am so blessed to have such wonderful guys in my life! I will post more birthday news later...


Update on C's party weekend:

His birthday party was a huge success! He loved the firetruck and bouncy bounce.The Calera Fire department came to join the party. All the kids had a ball exploring the firetruck. Most everyone that I invited showed up. I got to hang out with some old friends from college and high school. And Coop got a lot of great things. He loved his shaving kit from the girls, remote control firetruck, construction trucks from Mack, kitchen from Grammy and Grandpa, new DVD player from Papaw and Nonna and Thomas movies from James.

After Coop had his kid party at 10, we had some down time before the next party. No nap, but down time. At 4, our family and mommy's friends came over for hot dogs and more cake! Coop had fun jumping some more with Caroline and Magdelyn. After the party, C crashed right on time.

On Sunday, we woke up and cooked pancakes and bacon. C's favorite! We had a lazy morning and loved every minute! Around lunch, Coop went to the mall and lunch with his dad and aunt ally. They went to the Lego store and ate in the food court. Coop had a cheeseburger from "The Cheeseburger House". His fav! Aunt Ally brought Coop home around 5 and he played with his new toys until bedtime. James, Coop, and I had a pizza picnic and watch Thomas for dinner. Good times! I would say that Cooper had a wonderful 3rd birthday from start to finish!
