Cooper Family Reunion 2010

Well for the first time in 8 years we had a cooper family reunion. This is my grandpa Coopers family. We used to do the yearly and have not done them since my great grandma Cooper died. My grandpa's brother Steven died from a heart attack last year and I think it woke all of us up and we knew we needed to get together more often! We decided not to make it big and just spend the time talking and hanging out since we have not seen each other in so long. Everyone came here to Mesa, AZ and had dinner and lunch and hung out at our house. It was so nice to have all the family here in our home. Here are some picture from the weekend. We decided to go to the cemetery since we were all getting to together on Great grandma birthday it would only be right to remember her memory.

My grandpa is center sitting down and his two younger brothers are standing behind him.

Yeah the only shade was by the Christ statue so we have lots of pictures standing and sitting with Christ statue behind us!

Grandpa and all of this grand kids and one great grand kid.

Birthday fun!

Well I finally have a chance to get on the computer and write about Ashley's Birthday party fun. We had a wonderful cake and ice cream, swim party with friends and family on the 4th since her birthday was on a Sunday. It was a great day. Ashley loves having everyone over. Since Ashley has been having so many food allergies I decided to make her cake myself. Oh did not work! She had the worst reaction ever to her birthday cake. So during the opening of gifts she was not feeling well and really did care too much. We decided to take her swimming and it worked. The reaction went away and she enjoyed herself a lot more. When we got back to the house she was so excited to see her gifts. Here are some cute pictures of my girl!

Just before getting ready to sing happy birthday to her.

Beginning to have a allergic reaction to her cake. This was just the start of it. She gets so itchy poor girl.

Trying to open gifts. She was getting over the reaction at this time. I did not get a good picture of her face with the full reaction. Poor thing eyes were swollen, face and whole body was red with hives. We are going to get her allergy tested soon!

Very cute tutu that Wonderful Maquel made for her. So cute!

We are going to get her 1 year old pictures soon just not sure when. We tried to go today but Ashley got sick on the way and starting throwing up so we did not make it to the picture place. I will post as soon as they are done!

My little girl is 1 and I can not believe it she is too cute and so much fun and I don't know what i would do with out her.

Ashley is now 11 months old as of last week! She is walking but know crawling is faster is she is in a hurry. She talking all the time. She likes to say mommy and daddy and copy what we are saying every once in a while. She is so much fun and always has lots of energy! We are in the works of planning her 1st birthday! It will be Saturday Sept 4th at our house at 2pm for those who live near! Invites will be coming soon!

Where have I been the past month?

Sorry I know it has been a while since I have posted so here is a little bit of catch up!



I know we have not post a whole lot about anything but Ashley so here is more about the whole family!

Tyler is starting the Aviation Maintenance program in Aug and he will only have 1 1/2 left to go and I can't wait. He will continue to be a stay at home dad and he will go to school at night and will not be working!

He is really excited that a end is in sight and we are excited for him. He loves to be home with Ashley. He is still drawing but he is having a hard time finding time now a days. He is still a scout leader for the 11 yr old boys but he will not be able to continue once he is in school due to school.



Brittani-me

I am still working full time for a doctors office and I love my job. I am way excited though to be done and be able to stay home. I am still making bows and sewing when I get a chance. I love crafts and I always look for my next project. I got new glasses and a new hair cut and I am feeling good.



Ashley

She is not 10 months old- sorry I missed that post.

She is changing and developing and I can not believe it.
She is a talker. I have no idea yet what she is talking about well most of the time. She has the sweetest voice and we enjoy her little voice. She talks all day long! She can say mommy and daddy and believe me she says them both a lot. She trys to say words here and there. She like to say Jay which is tyler's brother who is living with us. She is crawling everywhere and she is fast. You put her down and two min later is in the other room and trying to go up the stairs. She loves dogs and loves to have them around her. She still only has two teeth but it seems like she is teeth almost everyday now! She is eating really good and loves to eat whatever we are eating.



4th of July

We decided to stay here in Mesa and not go to farmington since Tyler could not get off work! We went down town mesa where they were doing a car show and lots of stuff for the fourth and than fireworks later. We really enjoyed our night but we did not make it to the fireworks they were just too later for Ashley who was getting tired. So no fireworks for her this fourth of July, but I did make homemade Ice cream so the fourth turned out ok even with out farmington.



Family in Town

my parents and little brother came to town this past week. It was really nice to have them staying with us. We got to do lots of fun stuff and mainly just hang out. Tyler says he will never go to golf land swim park ever again! We got to go to a wonderful baby shower for my cousin on Saturday. Ashley enjoyed having them here and she was sad to not have them in our house anymore. Can't wait to see them again!! Love them tons.
