Cooper Turns One

Last Sunday we had Cooper's 1st birthday party. We had both of our families over to the house for pizza and cake to celebrate our youngest member's birthday (Cooper is the 8th of 8 grandchildren in the Milliorn family.) We had such a wonderful time getting everyone together.

This card is from Drew. Drew loves to pick out cards for people, and Cooper pretty much loves anything Drew does.


A super sweet friend of the our family made this cake for us. She does such a good job every year and even makes a small one for the birthday boy.


Cooper really enjoyed having people sing to him. He loves to hear music and bounce along.


Mmmmmm, a fist full of cake.
Cooper is such a sweet boy. Andy and I have felt so blessed to have him in our lives this year. He is a little ray of light, that brightens up every day. He is smiley, and happy the majority of the time, talks non stop when he is excited (a lot like his big brother), rolls all over the place, eats whatever is put in front of him, sleeps like a champ, and is even army crawling now. He loves to watch Drew, and Drew loves to play with Cooper. One of the sweetest things this year has been watching Drew and Cooper together. I think they will be great friends one day.
Happy Birthday Cooper! We love you SOOOOOO much.

Labor Day

September is always a busy month in the Milliorn house. We have 5 family birthdays, not even counting Cooper's (yes, he will be a year old next week). So we got together at the ranch over the Labor Day weekend to celebrate 4 of them at the same time. It was a great time as usual. Drew and Cooper love getting to play with their cousins, spending time at the "Tree Tops", and this year Granny and Grandad made it especially fun by renting a bounce house! Here are just a few pictures from the weekend.

This was Cooper's first time on the slide. He mostly just sat on it, but he loved it all the same.


My happy boy, just chillin' at the bottom of the slide.

The bounce house. What a great way to wear kids out.
