Happy Birthday Cooper!!!

Cooper wanted to have a pirate birthday party and having a birthday in October means that you don't always get the best weather, so Jeff and I decided to have his birthday earlier so the kids could run and play outside. Which worked out great the weather was beautiful and the kids had a blast. Because we were having a pirate theme we made pirate hats and the kids made their own swords. We had a treasure hunt, a bean bag toss, and we played pin the patch on the pirate. When he delivered his invitations he kept telling people to come to his buccaneer bash. I really think he had a great day, he came and put his arms around me and said thanks mom this rocks! That made my day, for me it is worth every ounce of hard work it takes to throw a party for my kids, when they appreciate what I did and when I can make them feel special on their special day! The best part of the party was when Cooper opened up a bag from my sister Jill, he had left his bear (which is his special friend that he has to have to sleep with) at her house in West Jordan the weekend before. So Jill wrapped it up and he opened it up, he was so excited I think that might have been his favorite present.

Cooper has always been a great kid! I would do anything for him, he is my little snuggle bug! Cooper tries to be helpful and kind and sensitive to those around him. But for me he always is looking out for me. He always asks me if I have eaten or if I need to sit down. He just loves to be everyone's friend and be a good friend. He is a good kid. I love you Cooper! Happy birthday!
