Aargh!!! Cooper is 4!!!


Well my little boy is not so little anymore, Cooper turned 4 on July 28th. I made him some cupcakes at the house for his birthday, but we had his BIG pirate party on Saturday.
Cooper has been wanting a pirate party for about 6 months, so we have been planning it for awhile. Cooper hand delivered the invitations (plastic bottles with sand in them with a rolled up invitation inside) wearing a pirate hat and a eye patch saying "Aargh, come to my pirate party!"
The night before the party, my sister in law and I stayed up until 3:00 a.m. finishing the cake and decorations. We were exausted but it was worth it!

Cooper LOVED the cake and had a super time playing with his friends. We had pirate everything, when the kids came in the front door they were greeted with a painted skull and cross bones that said BEWARE! When they stepped inside we adorned them with a pirate banadana, a eye patch and temporary tattoos. We had pirate crafts, pirate juice boxes, a pirate pinata and plenty of pirate booty! It was a great party! After the party was over I asked Cooper what was his favorite part of the party was and he said "Well mom, I liked the apples best". :) So all of the pirate splendor and he like the sliced apple snack the most.

Wow, great job on Cooper's birthday. It looked incredible! So yep, we're headed down to the Burg. We're excited, but it's been a little hard since this is the longest we've stayed in one place for the last 6 years. Crazy! We'll start out in the Oak Grove Ward because that's where we got an apartment, but there's a big chance we'll build a house in the Purvis Ward. We'll just have to see!
