Happy Little Birthday...

It's my little Cooper's 1st birthday today--I can't believe it's been a year already! We are having a little family party for him tonight, complete with cake, ice cream, airplanes, loves, kisses, and everything else his little heart will desire. He's such a wonderful, happy baby, and I don't know what I would do without him! :)

Happy Birthday Coop!

I also have a little video for you.... I did the Finally Friday card over at TwoPeas. I wanted to make a card with some rolled flowers on it and My Little Shoebox has the cutest diecut rolled flowers. I hope you'll take a peek at my video. Excuse my sniffles--I didn't even know I was doing it! :)

Have a wonderful Day! :)

What a week can do...

Hey everyone! I'm soooo sorry I haven't had a chance to post my winner for Jen's class! I hurt my back really, really bad two weeks ago and I couldn't hardly move for a week. Then I found out that I have two bulging discs! I had to crawl everywhere--and my knees are all bruised up now. I'm still recovering--having a hard time bending over or picking things up. I NEVER want to do that again! It's taking me forever to catch up on everything I missed. Grrrr. I hate that.

And now for our winner.....

Congrats:

A quote

Don't you just love it when you are scanning through Pinterest--always-- and you come across the perfect quote that just fills you with happiness because you know you were supposed to read it? This one jumped out at me yesterday:

So. True.

Landen thought it would be fun to give Cooper a ride in his "airplane" which is also known as "the box". Cooper laughed and laughed as he was pushed around the furniture and down the hall. Then Landen decided he needed to jump in the box with Cooper and make me push! I really got a good workout!

Look at that crazy hair! :)

 

 Cooper is sure loving his brothers right now... as long as they are not clobbering him!

Hugs,

Kandis

From a few months ago...

I was going through my pictures and found these cute ones of Cooper from October that I never shared! I just love this little smile--and those CHUNKY, CHUNKY legs!

I can't believe how much he's changed already--he has 4 teeth now, more hair, and is getting ready to walk! To think that he will be a year next month just kills me! My baby is growing up! :)

Have a great day! :)
