To Maine we go for a fabulous wedding.

We headed out to the East Coast in early June for Dave and Amanda's wedding.  This was Cooper's fist cross-country flight and we were all in the wedding party, so this was a super exciting adventure for all of us.  Cooper did amazing on the flight to Boston (mom packed numerous fun plane toys, movies and yummy snacks), and Cooper thought the plane was pretty cool.  We spent some fun time at the beach, ate some yummy seafood, spent time with our family and got to be part of a beautiful wedding.

 

 Cooper is all buckled in and ready for takeoff.

 

Making silly faces on the plane.

10 minutes after we got in the rental car, this little traveler was out.

 

And now he is refreshed and ready for the party.

Playing in our awesome beach house yard with the cousins.

 

Grammy brought some pretty awesome sand toys.

Grammy and pops were so nice and watched all five grandkids so the siblings could have a night out on the town.

Tony might have been having a little too much fun with his lobster.

The view out our front window, so peaceful.

We spent a fun day on the beach playing in the ocean and relaxing in the sand.

Cooper loved all of the cool rocks he found on the beach.

Cute little buddy.

Mamaw and Pa come for a visit.

Coop's grandma and grandpa from Oregon "Mamaw and Pa" came for visit for a couple of days in May.  We were lucky to get some beautiful weather and took advantage of the blue sky and spent a lot of time outside at the zoo, an awesome farm and our backyard.  We even spent a fabulous morning at the Natural History Museum. 

To the zoo we go.

It was dinosaur exhibit time at the zoo.  Coop was showing Pa the big dinos.

Cooper loves holding hands, especially with his Pa.

Posing by the lions.

Good balancing buddy.

So much fun..the train is the best.

 

 

The next day we headed to the Natural History Museum.

 

Ready to see some cool things.

Now that's a big turtle shell.

Here he comes.

Cutest little turtle I have ever seen.

Our last day of the visit, we hit up a real working farm by our house, Wheeler Farm.

 

Looking at the goats with Pa.

Coop and Pa rode the cow train; they got a great ride all around the farm.

Here they go..

Bye guys.

Next up, feeding the ducks.

Wow!! Pa can really throw that bread far.

 

Thanks for the visit.





Cooper is 2!! When did this happen

Our big boy turned two years old and we can hardly believe it.  He is getting so big and independent and chatting up a storm.  He loves being outside, playing with his mom and dad and snuggling with his pets.  Cooper likes to be read to and build "cho cho trains" with his toys in is playroom.  He is constantly amazing his mom and dad with how much he has grown and learned over the past year and how he continues to learn new things every day.

This year for Cooper's birthday, we won a birthday party from the studio where he takes music classes at.  It sure is a good thing too, the day of the birthday happened to be the same day that we were moving into our new house, so it was nice to have the big party at a different location that our chaotic home that day.  We had a great time with many of Cooper's sweet friends and his music teacher, Miss Katie, even led the party.

Happy Birthday Big Boy!!
