Cooper's Party at School

Cooper celebrated his birthday at school with his classmates. We took cupcakes, ice cream and Capri Suns for the kids to enjoy. I also sent my camera and the teachers were so gracious and took a few pictures for me.

The table was set

The Card

Greg wasn't feeling well one day last week, so Reagan made him this card.

Dad

I hope you feel better

Does it get any sweeter than that?

Big Boy

On his way to church ~ new backpack in tow. He's graduated from a diaper bag and thinks he needs a big kid backpack like Reagan!

Cooper's 3rd Birthday Party ~ Part II

After Cooper's party at home, we took a field trip to the local fire station. They were nice enough to give us a tour and let the kids climb all over the fire engines. The kids were even allowed to spray the water hoses!!

Cooper couldn't get enough of the trucks

Showing off his muscles

Trying to push the truck so it would move

He rested his head on the fire truck and said, "I just love fire trucks!"

Fireman Michael showed the kids all of the gear that was on each truck

Greg was the only one who would try on the hat

Next, the kids were allowed to go outside and spray real fire hoses!

Cooper was so proud of himself!

He had a blast

Keira took her turn

"Whoa!"

Cooper had to have another turn

Reagan wanted to spray the hose again too

Once we were back home, Cooper played with his fire trucks again ~ Almost as good as the real thing!
