Happy 5th Birthday Sweet, Sweet Cooper!

We love you to the moon and back lil man!

It has been a fun month

We took a trip to the Airplane Museum at the University of Maryland, Coop flew a simulator

Sam was making sure this thing was working properly

Checking the specs

Daddy dreaming of his boys flying with him one day!

All smiles, even a forced one from Cooper!

Cooper, Dad and Sammy went to a model train open house and the boys had a great time...here they are holding hands

Sam showing off his muscles

And we got a chance to watch our neighbors dog Ollie for the weekend!  The boys LOVE Ollie.

Mom (and Ollie) may have even convinced Dad to get an Ollie soon!

He got plenty of attention and love and numerous walks.

He ate breakfast with the boys

Watched some T.V. with Cooper

Hung out with Sammy Boy

Boys did some light reading

Sat in their favorite spot

And this was our first attempt at a family movie day at the theater.  Success only b/c children under 3 do not pay so Sam napping = success!

Chillin' at open gym

And we spent last Sunday at the National Arboretum in DC.  They had a 800 year old Bonsai Tree here, boys could care less.

They just wanted to run and explore, so we did!

We posed for a couple pictures along the way

It was a good month!

January Lately...

We went bowling again...this time right after Coop's school and we had the whole place to ourselves!

A close up of the cuteness, Sammy's feet are too small for the smallest size so he just drags his feet.  Pretty darn cute.

Something else that is pretty darn cute?  Coop in a new red sweatsuit before school.  He was telling me to be quiet so we don't wake Sammy

Yep, pretty cute!

And our bowl of Kashi GoLean.  My boy likes his fiber!

And Mom and Sammy went to a cooking class together, Sam loves to cook with me so we decided to take a class.  He liked eating the chips, that is for sure.  And that hat, worth the trip to the class!

We also went to the National Building Museum, so fun!  The boys had a blast and there was a lot for mom and dad to look at, too.

Calling some important people about some stuff

We love our dadda

One more of this boy in this hat!  Happy Friday!

Weekend Fun

Sam and Mom take our pizza nights pretty seriously

He loves to help momma cook

And he loves his Brother Bear

All smiles from Sammy and Dadda

We spent our weekend in the mountains, our boys first time snow tubing...it was amazing!  Our boys were daredevils and LOVED it!  So fun seeing them so excited!

Sam melted down about 10 minutes before this, not wanting to put on his winter clothes but once we put little man in the tube, all smiles!

Coop loved it as well

Coop waiting to get to the top of the hill on the tube escalator

He loved that as well!  We also spent time at an indoor waterpark that both boys loved!  We love that they are getting old enough to actually have fun at these places, and we really loved going down the big slides with Cooper!

Mom's turn

And Mom and Sammy...we knew the boys were having fun because they actually posed (and smiled) for the camera

At dinner, Sammy listening for trains

And Coops, loving our vacation.  Needless to say, both boys were asleep at 7:30.  We consider that a successful weekend!
