Birthday Boy One Year Old!!!

 I cannot believe my baby Cooper is one!!! This year has flown by and we have had an absolute blast having this little nugget in our family.

 Coop enjoying his birthday breakfast, blueberry pancakes, it is supposed to be in the shape of a one, but it looks more like a deformed snowman.

 On the day of Coop's birthday we all went boating to American Falls. Here he is with Grandma Gornichec before we got out on the boat.

 Coop trying out his new life vest, he hated it, but once we started going he calmed down and didn't mind it as much.

 Gammie with the birthday boy...

 Grampie cuddling the birthday boy...

Coop LOVED playing in the water...

 and the sand, i'm pretty sure in ingested more sand than lunch while he ate his lunch.

 Our little birthday boy all worn out and enjoying his birthday nap, when did he get so big!?

 After Coop woke up from his nape we went to Ruby Tuesday for his birthday dinner.

He had a red velvet birthday cupcake and loved it, he probably would have eaten the entire thing if we would have let him. Happy Birthday angel bug, we love you SO much!!
