Cooper's Birthday!

My oldest son turned 12 on the 19th of this month. Many of you know I was out in Cali for his bday but we celebrated a little before I left and then he had a party with friends last night. Before I left we treated him (okay we treated us too) to Orange Leaf, it is sooo yummy!!! My kids LOVE it! He got everything he wanted for his bday and I made sure he had his presents before I left :) While I was away, Scott took him shopping with his bday money and he got even more, he was a happy boy!



He decided that he wanted to have two of his friends over to go to Incredible Pizza and spend the night last night. Since Jake was well behaved while I was in Cali he got to invite his best bud as well. I have very few pix of the kids playing the games. (I didn't get permission to post other kids' pix anyway). Addy absolutely lost it, she was screaming and crying, it was pitiful. It's very loud in there and there's lots of flashing lights and commotion, she was not happy at all so we just waited in the dining room while the boys had fun. She actually enjoyed interacting with a face painting clown! She gave Addy a tiara, so sweet! Scott is out of town so we weren't able to tag team like we usually do. The boys had a really good time and only one complained when we needed to leave. The friend that complained is pretty selfish and not at all understanding, it's quite frustrating. One of Cooper's friends had never met Addy before and he was absolutely precious with her, melts my heart.



We came home and had Cooper's amazing cake from my good friend Annie once again! Her 21 Cakes are so delish and she donates 10% of all orders to our local Down Syndrome Group of the Ozarks! She made a Pokemon cake for Cooper with his two favorite Pokemon, she did an excellent job once again! Thanks Annie!

I'm so glad that God blessed me with my Cooper, I have no idea what I would do without him!

This is just too cute not to post, don't you agree??
