Coop's Birthday

Cooper had a great 4th birthday!

Nate traveled home in the a.m., so our plan was for Cooper to open presents after Nate arrived home. Cooper was having a hard time waiting, so I let him open a little present: a harmonica. He LOVED it and calls it his "flamonica."


Cooper's favorite gift he received was a new scooter. He has had one crash, but seems to love it!

Four Years Ago...

Four years ago today I was at the hospital getting ready to meet Cooper Thomas Bethell. What a day September 17, 2006 was for our family!

Thank you, God, for entrusting us with Cooper!

Things I Love about Cooper

He has amazing hair! (How superficial is that?) But STILL, he does have great hair. :)

He is an amazing big brother. He loves teaching Miles how to do new things!

He is one talented dude musically! I'm excited to see what God has in store for this little one!

Things I Love about Miles...

He gives the greatest hugs. His emotions are felt and expressed so strongly - including hugs!

He loves to eat broccoli. How many kids do that?

He is one cool dresser.

The Helicopter

I found out that Jared's (a guy I work with) dad is a one of the paramedics that works on the helicopter based at CMH, our local hospital. Jared said his dad would love to show us the helicopter sometime. So, today, Neal Taylor gave us a grand tour! Cooper and Miles were in heaven! THANK YOU, Jared and Neal!
