2 great weeks

After 9 years with Unum, Jennon decided a few weeks ago to take a new position at Sun Life.  Although he will really miss the people he worked with, we are both really excited about this new opportunity for him.  Sun Life is actually a competitor of Unum so once Jennon received his offer he gave his two weeks notice he had to clean out his office that day.  Jennon had two weeks before he started his new job so we did our best to take full advantage of this time all together.  It will probably be a long time, if ever, before we can enjoy Jennon home with us for two weeks in a row during the summer.  He got quite a few projects done around the house and we had so much fun on our "Staycation."  I think the boys had the most fun going to the pool, the zoo, and the park.  Again, so happy we were able to have this special time together.  The house will seem so quiet tomorrow with Daddy back at work!

 Had so much fun feeding the giraffes and checking out the dinosaurs at the zoo!


 DINOSAURS!
 Putting together legos is serious business.
 So proud of the completed cement mixer!
 "Don't mind if I do. Thanks for sharing Cooper!" A little "movie" night.

 Fun at the park.  The slides are actually Drew's new favorite thing.

Cooper's Golden Birthday!

4 on the 4th of July!  We had a great day from beginning to end; full of fun with family and friends.  His day started off with a special birthday breakfast, then off to the Edina Parade with Nana and Gumpa.  We then spent the evening celebrating at Caruth's with friends and fireworks.  I can't believe Cooper is 4 years old.  I gave him a little birthday questionnaire asking him similar questions to what I asked him last year on his birthday.  Many answers were different but they two that stayed the same were:
Favorite food for breakfast- sticky cheerios (multi grain cheerios)
Best Friend- "You guys!" (our family)  Such a sweet boy!
You are an amazing little boy Cooper and bring so much joy to our family.  So many of the smiles and laughs we have throughout the day are because of you.  Happy Golden birthday sweet boy!

All ready to dig in to his birthday breakfast
 Drew really wanted to wear a party hat too so he got stuck with this New Years tiara ;)

 Parades can be so exhausting!
