Going to the Chapel

One of my best friends, Blaire just got engaged!!! We are so very excited to celebrate her and Jacque in June!!! We of course wanted to celebrate this fabulous news so we had a lil' engagement dinner party. For those that don't know Blaire her favorite color is pink - so yes, we all wore pink!!! Here are a few picts from our night together!

The bride to be!

15 month check up

On behalf of Cooper's 15 month check up I figured I could share some picts and stats! His check up went well and they were pleased with our lil' growing boy! He is 32 3/4 in tall which is the 90-97%! He weighs 25 1/2 lbs - 50%.

Thanks to our sweet family in England Cooper received this shirt not too long ago - along with a shirt for Phil that says PINT on it. I'll take a few picts soon of them wearing the shirts at the same time.

 Being silly one morning

 No, that is not product in his hair....  

During dinner time Cooper often gobbles up his fruit and then likes to rub his hands in his hair....nice! 

Jessica & Fox's Wedding!

This past weekend I was in Richmond, VA for my sorority sister's wedding!!!! We had a great time celebrating Jessica & Fox. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was wonderful! The reception was held at the the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts! It was a great atmosphere, the food was amazing, and the band was awesome! Let's face it - being with college buddies pretty much guarantees a grand time! Congrats Jessica & Fox! Thanks for hosting such an incredible event!

14 months!

Yesterday was Cooper's 15 month birthday or 1.25 as Phil kept calling it. He is walking everywhere. Still eats like he might not get another meal. Loves his sleep and wants to be outside as much as possible. Here are a few snapshots from this past month! ENJOY!

 we definitely don't encourage him sitting on the train table,

but I couldn't resist taking at least one picture

New Year's Eve

Ringing in 2012 for us was spent with a few friends in our neighborhood! We had a great time socializing, eating yummy food, playing xbox dancing games and watching the peach/ball drop! Cooper was with us for about an hr then went to sleep there - needless to say in the wee hours of the morning when we got him up to go home he was a little concerned, but after a few minutes of cuddling he was right back asleep in his own bed! 

We hope 2012 is full of joy and blessings for your family!

Don't worry he didn't stay up til' midnight!

Brad & Elisabeth - thanks for hosting!
