Time moves so quickly!

Normally, I say that statement in reference to Cooper but for this post it's in regards to my oldest niece, Caitlyn, who turned 13 last month! I remember the day she was born as vividly as I remember the birth of my two babies. I remember how I was pulled out of computer lab (I was young and still in college, lol) and that it had been snowing the previous day. I remember thinking how young my sister was and that she was about to be a mom...

Caitlyn had her first girl/boy party for her 13th so we headed up to my hometown to spend the day with her. It was a long day for Cooper since we weren't at home for naptime, the party didn't end until 9 and we had an hour drive home but he still had fun :)

Cooper is smothered with affection by his 3 girlie cousins. Sometimes, he likes it, other times, not so much...

Cooper wearing off some energy...

A little nature hike :)

He helped mommy with the balloons, lol...

Okay, he mostly just played with the balloons ;)
