Cooper's 2 Parties

Firstly, When did Cooper grow up! He is terribly mature and fun. This boy is my biggest helper around the house. He empties the dishwasher every day for me, Vacuums the house weekly, folds laundry, babysits his little siblings, helps Savannah with math homework, cleans Maggies room, and is at my beck and call EVERY day. This kid sure is the best 1st child.

Cooper decided he wanted 2 parties. One with his school friends and one with the neighborhood. We chose a Ninjago Lego them and threw 2 parties friday after school. The boys did a Ninjago Mission/Scavengar hunt. It was fun and exciting and everyone loved it. The boys accepted challenges of blowing the biggest bubble gum bubble, jumping on the tramp with ninja moves, building with legos and flying airplanes launched with rubberband sling shots. It was a wild and fun afternoon with Spence on the roof of the house retrieving airplanes. Cooper received many Lego sets which he put together the next week with Cole.

Cooper is a happy kid. He is 4' 1" and between 80-90 lbs. We are so grateful he has outgrown a lot of his anxieties. He is brave and capable and independent. He hates sharing a room with Maggie, so he chooses to sleep on the floor in Savy and Maddux's room. He still wakes up around 6 am every morning and is showered and dressed first thing.

He has the best life playing with Tanner or Cole every day after school. Cooper battles Yu-Gi-Oh! and knows everything about Pokemon. Bikes and scooters and the tramp consume the weekend when they are not dueling.

This month Cooper graduated from Rad kids. He is also constantly pestered by his little brother who thinks he should share everything. Cooper puts up with broken toys, messy rooms and damaged cards. Maddux also claims the Skylanders for his own and is constantly in Coopers room looking at his things. Cooper had lost another tooth and put it in a little glass cup for bedtime and the tooth fairy. Before we knew it Maddux and filled the cup up with water and drank it. We still are not sure if the tooth made it in Maddux's tummy or is lost in the carpet. Poor Coop.

Cooper still is the best big brother to Savannah who adores him, and has the kindest way with Maggie. He also loves scripture stories and teaches FHE often. Cooper looks forward to Fast Sunday and usually fasts for help on his book reports or what ever the family is praying for. He has a perfect faith that his prayers will be answered. We love Cooper and how much he loves his family.
