The Sprinkler......

So this was supposed to be another adventure in the sandbox and it definitely turned into something else......Daniel was spot watering the grass and since Cooper loves the water so much he decided he needed to get in on the action.  He crawled out of the sandbox and over to a wetspot on the patio.  He liked it so much he ventured over into the actual sprinkler and had a great time!  The only problem was I wasn't prepared with a swim diaper so we still had our regular diaper on.......oh well.  

The Sandbox.....

Cooper got a new sandbox for his birthday from MiMi and Pop and we decided to try it out for the first time.  I was a little worried because his new thing is to put everything in his mouth and I was thinking the sand would be the next thing on his list.  Fortunately, we made it through our first time without eating sand!  Once he finally got the concept of playing in the sand he went bonkers!  He was rolling around and having a blast......

Daniel's 1st Father's Day!

Daniel got to officially celebrate his first Father's Day this year.  I went into labor and into the hospital on Father's Day last year but since Cooper wasn't born until the next evening I saved all the cards I bought for everyone and used them this year!  Since it was such a big year for our family (Daniel and Clifton were celebrating their first Father's Day) we decided to have everyone at our house and grilled hamburgers and had homemade ice cream.  It was a fun day for all and we were honored since this was Layton's first outing! 

Cooper's 1st Birthday!!

Ok so we didn't exactly celebrate Coop's birthday on his ACTUAL birthday but we did have a rather exciting day!  Our first nephew, Layton James Shearrer, came into the world and we got to be there!  It was so exciting to go through the whole waiting game with Amy and Clifton a year later at the same hospital in the same room!  We are so excited to have Layton here and doing awesome.....it will be so neat to watch he and Cooper grow up together.  We had his party on the 27th with family and friends.  He got lots of new LOUD toys to play with.  Enjoy the pics!
