Cheese! Cows! Wow!

Cooper's class went to Sweetwater Valley Farms today.  They got to see cows - from newly born to the pregnant mamas.  We also watched the cows get fed and milked, then watch & learn how cheese is made, and we also got to sample several flavors of the cheese.  This farm ships all of it's excess milk to Mayfield Dairy for their milk and ice cream.

 His turn to be chased

 That's my boy!!

 After the field trip, Cooper and I ran errands.  He asked to sit in the buggy ~ I told him he was too big, but he insisted!  This lasted about 2 minutes, then he agreed with me!

 Finally home to play with Reagan

Splotchy

Cooper woke up this morning with a rash covering most of his body.  After a trip to the doctor's office, Cooper was on the road to recovery.  The doctor said that his rash was an allergic reaction to something, but since we hadn't changed laundry detergent or he hadn't eaten something strange, it's really hard to determine what it is.  Hopefully, it will clear up within a day or so.

Cooper was pitiful ~ he was crying and asked if he was going to look this way forever.

 Since it was lunch time when he got back to school, I stayed and ate with him.

 We went out to dinner before Bible study ~ Reagan is beautiful

Reagan was so excited to hold our newest Friends' House member, Ryland 

School Lunch

Cooper has been asking me for a few weeks to eat lunch with him.  Today, the stars aligned and I was able to make his wish come true.  I brought him a corn dog from Sonic (along with an Oreo Blast) ~ I was the "best mom ever"!

me and my boy

he devoured the corn dog

the Blast didn't last long either!

Cowboy Day

Cooper's class had a Cowboy Day in school today.  He chose not to dress up, however he did participate in the activities!  His teacher sent me this picture!

Animal Shelter

Cooper's 1st grade class gathered essentials for the local animal shelter for Valentine's Day.  After school, the class had an impromptu field trip to deliver the supplies.
