Kooper's 4th Birthday!!!

On July 13 our sweet little Kooper celebrated his 4th Birthday. Four! How can my baby boy be four already?! I tell you, the years are flying by way too fast. The other day I told the kid's I wanted to find a shrinking machine so I could keep them little longer. They thought I was silly. When you're young you want to grow up and when you grow up you wish you were young again. Ahh..

Kooper had a wonderful 4th birthday. We kicked the day off with a mommy date. We don't get them near enough so it was a morning both of us were looking forward to. Kennedy had her Animal Adventure's class and Kolter went to g-ma's so our first stop was Zeeland Bakery. Koop picked out a donut with colorful sprinkles. After the bakery we jumped back in the van and headed for the mall. To Build-A Bear we went.

Kooper picked out a camo bear and the process of building him began...
He is all about Toy Story currently and picked out a Buzz Light Year costume for his bear. He also named the bear Buzz Bear.. here he is proudly showing off his new bear.
And one with me to remember our special day..

After the mall we headed to Party City. He likes looking at all the party stuff so it was fun for him. He also picked out some candy, so even better. Lunch was next on our date and he chose Burger King. We opted to hit the drive thru and surprise daddy with lunch at work.

Bryan was happy we came to visit. It's not too often the three of us get alone time together so it was indeed a special treat.

B-day kisses from daddy..

Once lunch was over we headed back to g-ma's to pick up Kolter. Kennedy was spending the afternoon with her friend, Jenna, so had an enjoyable 'boys' afternoon at home. Later that evening we headed to Chuck E. Cheese for dinner with my parents.

Loving the Toy Story robot and Woody costume he got from g-ma/g-pa.

We got a special visit from Chuck and he even brought Kooper a cake..

Making his bithday wish!!

Kolter was terrified of Chuck..

Kooper and Kennedy, however, were all about him.

All and all it was a great day.

I think our b-day boy enjoyed his special day.

Later in the week we had a visit from grandpa Randy and grandma Debbie so he was spoiled even more. We also celebrated with the Rotman's (post to come) since they were cottage bound the week of Koop's b-day. Only a special boy has the b-day that never seems to end!
