Cooper turns 8 and Sackett gets married! June 2014

Cooper's 8th birthday was kind of a whirlwind.  We headed out Friday before Cooper's birthday to drive to Sackett's wedding and then head up to Washington to the Perrins Family Reunion.  So during all the wedding festivities I ran to Walmart and bought Cooper a cake and then we went across the street from the hotel to a park and sang happy birthday and ate cake.  Cooper is a wonderful kid who I can't believe is 8.  He is a great big brother.  He is very caring and sensitive to other peoples needs. He is tall, athletic and super competitive. Being competitive is a blessing and a curse.  It's great to make him work hard in school and sports, but I draw the line at having to be first to brush his teeth, get to the door first, get dressed first, him and Trip are going to drive me nuts!!  He is always so willing to make sure I am taken care of. Rowdy loves him and runs and gives him a big hug when he gets home from school.  He is a great example for being an older brother.
