[ Cooper Starts School ]


It's official... our boy is growing up. Cooper had his FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL today at Sacred Heart Catholic Preschool. His teachers are Mrs. Lesa Carroll and Mrs. Lowry. He has been counting down the days, and showed NO hesitation running into class. He goes MWF from 8:30-11:30. We were on a waiting list, and were so excited to get into this school, as it has come HIGHLY recommended by everyone I've talked to. I figured he better be in some kind of preschool this year, as next year he starts Kindergarten... which is ALL DAY everyday here!


Waving and saying "Bye, Bye Mom!"



The first pictures he drew today, "A spider that flies. A spider that doesn't fly."

Cooper has already made friends and can't wait until Wednesday! He is lucky to have FOUR kids in his class who are also in his CTR 5 primary class in our Ward at church. Bryce, Brian, Cambrie, and Zander. 

We are SO proud of you Cooper. You are growing up, and although we miss you, we are so proud of you too!

Gunner on the other hand had a very hard day. He cried because he wanted a backpack too. He cried and flopped on the floor in the hall of the preschool because he wanted to go to. He cried and cried in the car when we left saying, "I don't want to leave Cooper!" Poor guy feels like he's losing his best friend. When we walked in to pick Cooper up, they yelled each other's names and ran and gave each other a huge hug. It is so fun that they are such best buds. I am glad to have some more one-on-one time (plus Beckett) with Gunner though. We went to WalMart for him to pick out a special treat (an Indiana Jones figurine). Hopefully it gets easier!

What is up with your Home page? It has no background, so I can't read it. But I can read an individual post. They do have a background.

Just wanted to say how cute Cooper is. It's so fun to see them grow, but if you read about Corbin's first day of High School you'll see that you still miss them at the start of every school year.

Cute pictures of Cooper and his first day. Looks like he was excited about it. I guess you are still having blogger issues. That is the weirdest thing! E-mail me and we can work on it or change the design.

Can you believe that our little boys are pre-schoolers. He looks so cute and excited.

Does your little baby have blue eyes I just noticed. How fun.
