Happy Birthday Cooper!

Happy 4th birthday to this little guy:

Cooper

Cooper Wandy Rodriguez Carter McDaniel came to us in April of 2006.  Actually, we “adopted” Cooper from Matt’s grandmother’s house after he was left there by her neighbors before they moved to Texas.  Their loss!  We adopted him when he was a mere 8 weeks old and he has been the light of our lives ever since.  Some of Cooper’s favorite things include:

  • naptime
  • playing “ducky”
  • sleeping on couches
  • rolling in the grass
  • sleeping with his belly in the air
  • car rides
  • cuddling with mom and dad
  • any and all food

We love you Cooper!

Happy birthday Sara!

My sweet sister-in-law, Sara, is 23 today!!  We went to Babin’s last night to celebrate.  Our wonderful waitress knew how to keep me and Sara happy:

Can’t have tea without a few pink packets!!  (Good thing she wasn’t a “male waitress, right Sara?” :)

We also were double-happy when she brought these out for dessert:

Shower for Kendall

On my mom’s side we don’t have any cousins, but we do have “fake” cousins!  My mom and her BFF, Denese, have been friends since the 1970’s and she has two sons that are right around our age.  Our families have been vacationing/ Christmasing/ birthdaying/ 4th of Julying since I can remember.
