The State Fair...

We are happy...Sam arrived last night, and we took off work/school and spent the afternoon at the fair!


Cooper spent the week at Nanna's and they met us at the fair today. So...he was seeing Sam for the first time.  He wanted to make sure she understood that he is now "5"...


Sam, Anna Lauren, and Cooper got their faces painted.  Anna Lauren's was the only one good enough for a picture.  Hate to complain though...it was free.






Makes me so happy to have them all together...




Yes, Matt is videoing them on the ride...




They obviously took off without me...



Cooper is so proud that he won...


Times like these you want to bottle up and keep forever...so thankful we can take time to "slow down" and just enjoy being together.  Pure fun and happiness right here!




This boy went on and on that he won...


In Miami, it cost $20 to have your picture taken with a parrot...in Jackson, it's free...ha ha!











This picture confirms every penny we spent was worth it...what a fun afternoon full of smiles!









Matt and I thought we were done having children...God had different plans and put precious Sam in our lives.  What a blessing these three kiddos are to us...wouldn't trade them for anything!


Just a little fun and games with Nanna...




We told them they could just buy a prize instead of spending who knows how much money on games and most likely not winning anything.  So...Anna Lauren picked out an umbrella and strolled through the midway...


And this comes as no surprise...of course, Cooper picked out a gun!

We enjoyed our day of making memories together and now we will rest up before we start all over tomorrow.  More fun tomorrow watching Cooper play soccer and the Millsaps Majors play football.

Cooper Turns "5"...

So hard to believe, but our sweet and very funny Cooper turned "5" on Monday, and we LOVED celebrating with him!


He requested balloons and a donut cake for when he woke up...he has learned that is how we celebrate birthdays at our house, and I guess he wanted to make sure I did for him as I do for everyone else.



We also love to start the day off with birthday presents...


Super excited it is "his" big day!



All he wanted...army suit, army boots, and duck tape to make a nerf gun an army gun.  So...exactly what he got from Dad and Mom.





Uncle Brad and Aunt Paula got him some fun legos...


Anna Lauren got him a soccer goal...






Ms. Amy across the street even put his name on his army suit...I mean could he be any cuter?


He had a great day at school and then we continued our celebration at Baskin Robbins while waiting on sister to finish cheer.





This little guy was SUPER excited to finally be "5"...


After Anna Lauren got done with cheer, we headed to Mexican for dinner (his request).  He LOVES it there because all the waiters play with him...they even gave him a "cowboy hat" as he calls it when he walked in the door...he didn't even have to wait until "happy birthday"...telling you...they love him!


Singing "happy birthday"...he requested no whip cream in his face.



Oh the smiles...oh what fun...we all loved celebrating "5" with our favorite little guy!
