Disneyland and Sea 2013

He stopped running just long enough to snap a pic!

Churaumi Aquarium - Okinawa

The grounds connected to the aquarium were so beautiful, but it was waaaaay too hot to really enjoy being outside for long! The boys loved seeing the whale sharks swimming in that enormous tank!

They LOVED this huge aquarium!

Yummy snacks while watching the Whale Sharks and other swimmers go by! 

How cool is this aquarium?!

Piano Coop

It has been 3 months now and Cooper is really enjoying his piano lessons. Now if only we could get him to love practicing just as much! 

May 23, 2010

We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
-Rose De Leon

Spring Field Trip - Enoshima Aquarium

This year's spring field trip was to Enoshima Aquarium. We're already fans of this aquarium so it was a fun chance for Coop to enjoy it with his classmates. 

Coop, I and G

I didn't take this pic, but had to share! (Thanks, Hallie!)

Posing beside his favorite animal

It's not a trip to Enoshima without a pic in the sub

My babies taking a break with the jellyfish

Spider crabs!! 

 

The aquarium is attached to a beach so the boys played in the sand a little bit before we had to be back on the bus! 

Party like a 4 year old

He was so excited to wake up to cinnamon rolls & Mario cookies! 

A birthday craft while we waited for Dad and Sam to wake up!

Bowling fun with friends

He wore that Mario hat the entire day! 

The incredible looking and tasty Mario cookies from MKJ Cookies!!
The mushrooms were my favorite while Coop adored the Donkey Kong ones!

A Sweet Cakes by J creation - chocolate cake w/ cookies and cream buttercream! Mmmmm!

On a total sugar high! 

Perhaps he didn't want to accidentally spit on to the cake?!

He really wanted to run free.
