Cooper is 2

This video sums Cooper up in a nutshell………..adorable one second and a little stink the next! ;)

Cooper is 2!

Hard to believe it has been 2 years since Cooper joined our family. Time has flown by and these boys are growing up way too fast! Next milestone is Mason turning 5 and starting Kindergarten in the fall…….not ready for this yet.
We had a nice little party at the house for Cooper for family and some neighborhood friends. There were 6 kids under 5………aka: chaos! All the kids had a great time and there was a very large mess to show for their fun at the end of the night! ;)





Mason, our neighbor Sienna, and another neighborhood friend Claire


Cooper somehow got ahold of a chicken wing. He is going to be just like his daddy……will eat ANYTHING!

Delicious Costco cake! I am going to have another piece when I am done with this post! ;)


As soon as we said it was time for cake the kids went CRAZY!



Singing Happy Birthday to Cooper! ;)



Blowing out the candles!


Ryder (our neighbor), Cooper, and Collin enjoying their cake!

Time for presents and of course Mason was right there to help!










The big gift of the night came from Uncle David and Cliff who gave Cooper his very own Range Rover. Should I be mad my kid drives a nicer car than me? Haha

It was such a nice day and I still can't believe my baby in 2!

Christmas Part 3: Buchholz Christmas

On Friday evening we had another Christmas celebration with Andy's side of the family. Mason was so excited for another chance to open presents. This kid was present crazy this year!


Mason and Sierra were in a tickle fight…..Sierra won!


Cooper was pretty good a ripping into presents at this point! More practice for his birthday to come. ;)






Cooper got a hug me Elmo and it is the cutest thing. He loves to carry it around and Elmo says the funniest things!

Christmas Morning

Christmas Part 2: Christmas Day

Christmas Day was stimulation overload for these boys but they had so much fun! It is so great as a parent to see how excited your kids get over the magic of Santa! I think next year will be even better when Cooper understands more of what's going on.


Cooper was up first and was excited to see he new chair from Santa!




Mason was soon to follow and loved his chair just as much as Cooper.












The best was the giant GASP Mason made when he opened his diesel train! Pure Joy!








This little guy snuck a GIANT tootsie roll and had the messy face as evidence (as well as the wrapper half chewed).

We fried our turkey this year for the first time and I must say it was pretty delicious. It was even better the next day as a turkey sandwich!

Christmas Eve: aka: Grammy's Birthday

Christmas Eve is also Grammy's birthday (or another day for Mason to help someone to open presents). We had a nice time at church and a delicious dinner at my parents house followed by super yummy cake!




















The boys each got to open one present before bed.

Mason and Slush were saying "good-bye" to Tommy. See ya next year!
