Cooper's 7th Birthday and Last Days of Kindergarten


How is it that I have a 7 year old??? It seems like everyone is right when they say that the days are long but the years are short!


We had Cooper's birthday party in May. Since summers are really busy here in Texas, I was worried none of his friends would be in town during the month of June. It worked out great...almost everyone he invited was able to come. We had his party at a place called Strikz. He and all his buddies got to bowl, eat pizza and cake, and then play video games and laser tag. I think everyone had a great time!!


Dancing!!


Of course Lucy had to join in with the dancing too!!


Emily was not a big fan of the bowling shoes with her dress : )


the cake


I cute way to try and keep Lucy's outfit from getting dirty


They were so busy having fun that we ran out of time and had to open presents at home. He got lots of Legos, Star Wars stuff, and all the other fun stuff that boys his age love! It was a fun day!


On his actual birthday he and Emily had vacation bible school that day. He woke-up to a few more gifts and a big Happy Birthday Cooper sign.


June 2nd was Cooper's last day of Kindergarten. A few days before that his school had kindergarten appreciation day. All of the kindergarten classes got up on stage together and they sang a cute song. Then each teacher calls each kid by name and tells them why they appreciate them. It was really sweet! Cooper's teacher actually got a little emotional while she was talking about him...I'm not sure if she was crying tears of joy that her year was over, or if she was a little sad to see him go.... : )

This was Cooper on his last day. He loves to ride his bike, but we follow him in the car to make sure he makes it to school safely. We had a few bumps along the way, but all in all Cooper had a great year in kindergarten. He made some sweet friends and we are looking forward to him growing-up at this school.


this was Cooper on his first day of kindergarten...he looks like such a baby
