The Big Top Birthday Bash!

This is the motherload post! The last weekend of January we had the Big Top Birthday bash for our sweet little guy who turned the big 1! It was complete with Maggie the clown (who could not remember his name - called him Conner the whole time), a big circus tent, an elephant cake and cupcakes for his friends and all kinds of goodies. He had a blast with all his friends, their mommies and daddies and our friends and family. We had a great turnout and were so pleased that so many could share this special day with us. You only turn one once...right? Our favorite photographer, Miss Courtney was on hand to take some good professional shots of the little guy too. Check out her blog...www.courtneyleighphotography.com/blog. Happy Birthday Cooper - Mommy and Daddy love you to the moon and back!

The Gas Mask!

As most of you know, in early January C came down with the nasty RSV. We ended up heading to Children's one night and purchased our own breathing treatment machine. Good thing we got it at Children's because who cannot resist the Rhino Mask!

Benihana's with the Babes!

We had an early dinner with our friends the Sands and the Nunnallys. Trey is getting so big and A is such a little lady! C and A really loved the "show." Check out Miss Thing's outfit!!!!

Cook for us!!!

OMG...she has a japenese outfit!

Somehow they both end up holding hands everytime they are together!

Callum and Cooper's meeting with Chucky Cheese

Since Cooper and Callum are three days apart, attending each other's birthday partys is going to be tough throughout the years, so Audrey and I decided to have a little outing for them to celebrate together. Wow - how Chucky Cheese has changed! We had a blast with the boys!

Little fun area for them to run around in...

Aren't they just adorable...C was a little scared of Callum's driving!!!

C did not know what to think of this!

Our best bud - Callum!

WOW! This place is cool. I have never heard so many "oooh's" before!

Valentine Party at Carpe Diem

C got to celebrate his second Valentine's Day in style - this time with his classmates at Carpe. It was complete with goldfish, brownies and little love from Mommy! He received and exchanged Valentine's, too! He was a little surprised to see Mommy and Daddy at school when he woke up from his nap! He sure wears pink well...

Just woke up from our nap and Mommy and Daddy were there!

Our little man...

These are just some fun random pics of C over the past month!

Where's Cooper?

Stop taking my picture!

Who doesn't love the jack-o-lantern smile?

Can you tell that Yo Gabba Gabba is on right now???

He does love books so much and loves to be read to!

Who doesn't love a little one with a red balloon...

Just like Daddy...

Some mornings Mr. C likes to get dressed like Daddy. Today was wearing a tie - how stinkin cute!

C's Very First Haircut

It was way over due that Mommy and Daddy took Mr. C to have his sweet little mullet chopped off. With his big top birthday bash fast approaching and C feeling much better, we headed over to Sharky's Kids Cuts. He loved being a big boy in the race car watching Cars and never fussed once! He is growing up way too fast!!!

Crayon Mouth

This is what happens with Cooper colors with Crayons - he colors in his mouth instead of the paper. Good thing Crayola is non-toxic now or we would be in trouble!

Fun Times with Aunt LaLa!

While C was out sick from school with lovely RSV, we were lucky enough to have Aunt Lala (my sister) watch him while we were at work. She has a LOT more energy than Mommy and Daddy, so they got to build forts, color with crayons and so much more. C loves, loves his Aunt Lala!

Just snackin on a race car driver!

Check out his best friend standing guard behind him!

This is so cool!
