**Cooper turned 6**

First I will start off with how busy we were the week of Cooper's birthday that when his real birthday came on Saturday and his big party I got extremely mad because I thought the new camera I bought myself was dead!!  So a few hours after the party Ryan checked it and the battery was just loose...GRRRR! 

On the Monday before Cooper's birthday we surprised him by first Ryan showing up at his school with Subway and they had lunch together then the other kids and I went to Safeway and got cupcakes and drinks!!  He was totally surprised which made it really fun!  His teacher also held Ryker almost the whole time so that was really nice for us!  

 Here is Cooper with his birthday crown as he ate a cupcake!!

 And of course upside down...

 This is Cooper's teacher Mrs. Frederick and of course she is holding Ryker.

 Ryan snapped a few pictures from his phone during the chaos of Cooper's party...I made the mistake of over inviting since I sent invitations out late and we ended up with a lot of kids...Looking back it was crazy but Cooper had fun and I am glad he had lots of friends there!!

This is when we were singing Happy Birthday to Cooper!!  We started the party with playing a balloon game but due to me not planning on 15 kids I didn't have enough balloons and they kept popping so that was quick then we decorated cupcakes which was fun!  Cooper got lots of fun presents and then we had a Batman pinata stuffed FULL of candy!!!

Happy Birthday Cooper!  We love you SO much and can't believe you are 6 years old!  We are so proud of how smart you are and how much you have grown physically, emotionally, and spiritually!  You are such a good big brother to your 3 younger siblings and we know that you are going to grow up and be such an amazing person with lots of friends and family who love you!  Who would have known your wish would have come true for us to move back to Idaho as that is all you have asked for since we moved here to Arizona!
