Eight is Great!!

Cooper turned eight on Saturday. We celebrated by having 10 friends come over for a football party in our backyard. After 2 days of rain. Lucky for us, the weather was dry and not windy for the two hours of his party. It would have been a little bit crazy with 11 sugared up boys trapped in my basement. They did a punt, pass, and kick competition and had cupcakes, m&ms, chex mix, and Gatorade.Grandma and Papa and cousin Saige came to help celebrate from South Dakota. Grandma and Papa were a big help. Ron and I would have been a bit overwhelmed without them being here. Cooper received many awesome gifts from friends and family. He told us repeatedly it was his best birthday ever!!Then, he left his party to help celebrate his friend Tyler's party at an indoor sports place. So that's a total of seven hours of birthday goodness which equals one tired, but happy eight year old and exhausted parents.
