Cooper's 4th birthday continued...

On Cooper's real birthday - July 6 - we went to the splash pad with a group of our friends, and their children who are Cooper's friends.  The kids played in the water, we grilled out, and then they played on the playground equipment.  Cooper had a great time playing with his buds, and making some new friends at the park.

We went to the splash pad with the same group of people to celebrate Cooper's actual birthday last year.  Looking back at the photos from last year's trip has been very interesting.  I can't believe how much all of the kids have changed!  Cooper looks so much more grown up.  And looking at Kennedy and Emma makes me realize that Ella will have changed as much by this time next year, as they did from last year until this year.

Cooper's birthday party was Sunday at Monkey Joe's.  We had the party there last year, and Cooper loved it so much, we did the same thing this year!  We had the party after hours so that the only people there were our family and friends.  He had the best time running all around and playing with all of his buddies!
