It's hard to believe but Cooper turned 3 on August 27th!! All of a sudden he seems so big to me! This summer we took the kids to see the new Winnie the Pooh movie in the theatre. It was their first one on the big screen. Because of that Cooper wanted to a Pooh cake. My attempts in the past to make birthday cakes have been big disasters so I'm not sure what overcame me this year. Oh...I know it's this latest thing called Pinterest that I'm loving! It was here that I found how to make a very easy Pooh cake...and it was!! Cooper is our full of energy comedian these days! He keeps us laughing that is for sure. He definitely has his tantrum moments but lately I've really seen how he tries to help others be happy. He is a non-stop talker these days and I love having full on conversaations with him!
We also celebrated another big birthday....Matt turned 40 on August 26th! It was a great weekend to celebrate the boys in our lives!
Here is Coop with one of his gifts....he is waiting to take our orders at the McDonalds drive thru:)
And here is Matt with one of his gifts... a Chicago Bears vs. Cleveland Browns pre-season game at Soldier field in Chicago. It was a first for Matt to be at the stadium.
This was a spontaneous trip in the sense that I gave Matt the tickets a little less than a week before the game...so we needed to make plans for our kids, where to stay, etc. The bonus was we asked our good friends, Steve and E, to go with us and they were able to! Steve is a Browns fan so the guys had a great time and E and I are Magnificent Mile(the big shopping district downtown Chicago) fans...so it worked out well:)
Ava started preschool this week! Let's just say we weren't sure how the first day would go but she LOVED it!! I am so so thankful! She got up Tuesday morning and was so excited to go.
