Four!

Our little boy has hit the four year mark! Cooper had an almost week-long birthday celebration starting on his actual birthday, the 1st of November, and finally ending with his train birthday party on the 6th! On his birthday we stayed home and played, baked cookies to take to his school celebration the next day, and made a trip to the pumpkin patch with Edie. He picked his G-Chip's favorite restaurant, Asahi, for his birthday dinner!



His birthday party was at Casey Jones Train Museum, and Cooper had a blast with all of his friends! The kids played with trains and on the trains there, colored train pictures, climbed in and out of the train tent, and rode the 25 cent moving train.

About to start tearing into some presents with the help of his friends, Reed & Cade!

Cooper, your mom and dad love you so much! We cannot believe that you are four- where has the time gone! You are such a sweet, fun-natured boy! You are definitely the first child (and your momma's child for that matter) and you are a strong leader and boss! You make us laugh everyday and amaze us by just how much about life you already know! You love Reese Ann and are so sweet to her- the majority of the time! You adore playing trains, like watching movies, love to dance, and love to read books! You are so good at memorizing Bible versus- you already know 15 or 20! We are so thankful for you and all that you add to our family! You sure have come a long way! We are excited to see what the Lord has in store for you in the next year of life!

Halloween fun!

Our Halloween fun lasted a few days around here! It started with Cooper's school party and Buzz Lightyear making his appearance at First Pres! Here he is with his friend, Tristan, at school:



We followed that up with the neighborhood costume parade on Saturday morning! We live in a neighborhood with lots of young kids, and it is the second year that we have paraded the neighborhood in costumes! Our little flower loved watching all of the kids run around her!



We skipped the major trick-or-treating madness in our neighborhood Saturday night to go to the Auburn game, so our trick-or-treating was a little bit calmer! We had fun visiting grandparents' houses and some friends' houses that were expecting us!

War Cam Eagle!

On Saturday afternoon, we made the journey to Oxford to see Auburn play at Ole Miss! We decided that the 2-hour trip to Mississippi would be much more manageable that a 6-hour trip to Auburn. We had a great time with the whole Edwards family cheering the Tigers on to victory! Cooper was fairly interested in the game and thankfully, had many family members to entertain him! We are crossing our fingers that the rest of the season turns out as great as it has been so far! War Eagle!
