1st Day of 1st Grade

I wanted a nice picture of the first day of school that we could all look back on....

so I took the first picture.....but thought maybe I can get an even better one.....that was a big mistake...so in your mind you must count down from 5, because this next picture was only 5 seconds later..

This is truly how my house is....not the sanitized pictures I post....

 

 

But Nathan had a great first day and loves his new teacher....even with his fake sad eyes....

Breakfast.....

 

You might remember from an old post that Cooper loves to steal food...he acts like we don't feed him.  Nathan made the mistake of putting his egg wrap down.  When he couldn't find it we tracked the crumb trail back to this little thief......

Birthday present

with the hussle and bussle of the party we didn't get the car put togther in time.....but he loves it.  He can't reach the peddles but likes to sit in it and try to eat grass.....

Super 1st Birthday Bash!!!!!!!!!!!

For Cooper's birthday we decided to go with a Mini Cooper theme.....orignal I know but it fits our little man.

 

 

 

I made a little road course with the older boys help

 

Note the turkeys in the lower right side...Nathan made a hunting scene blood included....my kids are strange...

 

 

We ordered a pinata online (it kind of looks like a Mini Cooper)

 

It showed up 1 hour prior to the party so we had to stuff it fast... it was way bigger than I thought it would be.

Aunt Jo Jo made another awesome cake.....

 

 

I asked for no dark colors.....I should have known she would be evil....

 

He loved the taste and got so messy!!!!

 

By the third kid you realize the easiest way is to bathe them after the cake....

 

but while he was getting his bath, Aunt Jo Jo indulged her little blonde nephew with ice cream....

 

Let's count...

 

Plate #1

Plate #2

Plate #3

Plate #4

Look how big the pinata is compared to Cooper....

 

Happy Birthday boy!!!

Back yard play

 

These three make me laugh (and cry)

 

 

Cowboy

 

He is my tough little buckaroo....

Ice Cream Dreams......

 We needed to head over to Target to buy Cooper's birthday present....on the way back we decided to stop at Dairy Queen....On looks alone I could deny Gabe as my own.....but his love of ice cream would be evidence to the contrary.....

 Cooper was not impressed with his first taste of ice cream.....we will bring him over to the Dark Side!!!

 

When Gabe eats ice cream a good amount end up on his face, clothes and hands......
