The Mini-Cooper

Coop and Mom had an ice cream date this afternoon…yum, yum! Coop’s cone even had sprinkles on it! I LOVE our dates like this, they are my favorite!

Love, Mommy

Today, Mom, Dad, and Coop headed up to Austin for Dad’s swearing in ceremony at the Frank Erwin Center on the UT Campus. Congratulations to Daddy! We love you so much and we are so proud of you!

Here is the cutest pic ever of Dad and his little buddy (notice their matching ties! ):

On our way into the ceremony:

That’s Mr. Lawyer to you! :

Here are some obligatory shots in front of the State Bar of Texas seal:

Our view of the ceremony (the Texas Supreme Court Justices are seated on the stage):

Coop found Dad’s name in the program!:

After the ceremony:

Congrats again, Matt! It’s great to have two out of three people in our home be Texas lawyers…next it’s Cooper’s turn!

Love, Mommy

Sorry this video is crooked…I took it on my phone. It is just so darned cute, though!

Love, Mommy

Coop usually goes to a Sports Skills class at The Little Gym, but sometimes, when he misses that class, we do a makeup class…and it usually ends up being a different class, like a dance class. He actually likes dance class…but Mommy thinks he might really like to go so that he can flirt with all the little girls there!!! Go Coop!

Mom, Dad, and Coop headed back to Houston for another business meeting today…and we got to stay in a hotel room that overlooked the George Bush Intercontinental Airport! It was SO awesome…Coop LOVED it! Here are some pics from our trip back to Houston:

The amazing view from our hotel room at the Marriott

Coop watched the airplanes constantly…he is so adorable!

We always have fun when we come to Houston!

Here is a pic of Mommy’s adorable coffee shop buddy…he likes to drink a strawberries n cream frappucino while I drink my cup of coffee! Good times and good company!

p.s.-Coop also always asks for his whipped cream to be put in a separate cup…he is going through a phase where no two foods can touch one another. Such a cutie pie…Mommy used to eat the same way when she was a little girl! Like mother, like son!

Coop, Mom, Dad, and Uncle Kirk had a great time today in Houston! We got to go lay out at our hotel pool, eat lunch at The Hard Rock Cafe (where Coop got to hear lots of Rock ‘n Roll…he LOVES rock n roll! ), and we even made it to the awesome Downtown Aquarium!

Coop getting ready to go into the Aquarium…he was SO excited!

Coop and a giant fish…it was just as big as Coop!

Coop in front of the White Tiger statute

Uncle Kirk and Coop…”rawr”!!!!

One of the beautiful white tigers at the Aquarium…Coop thought they looked alot like his “kit-kats”(as he calls them) at home, Ty and Jack!

Scuba Man!

Coop and Uncle Kirk got to pet stingrays, horsehoe crabs and baby sharks!

Coop got to look up into the aquarium…the stingrays flocked to him!

Coop having a BLAST…this stingray in particular absolutely LOVED Coop…it followed him around, flapped it’s wings at Coop and tried to give Coop high fives…and it LOVED being petted!

Here is a cute video of Coop and his stingray friend:

Here is a video of Mommy petting the stingray…it was SO tame!

Coop can’t wait to go back to the aquarium soon…what fun!

Love, Mommy

Coop, Mom, and Dad headed to Houston today because Dad had a business meeting in Sugarland (which is right outside of Houston). Uncle Kirk (one of Dad’s good friends who lives in Indiana) was in Houston visiting his parents, so we got to hang out with him, as well. Coop loves his Uncle Kirk!

Coop thought the bangle bracelets were silly!

Coop kicks it while Dad and Kirk jam out on their guitars in our hotel room…good times! Coop LOVES to jam with the boys…he usually plays the drums.

Love, Mommy

Dad passed the Texas Bar Exam today! Yippee! Now he has passed the bar exam and the patent bar (AND he has an MBA)…what a guy! Congratulations, Daddy, Coop and I love you so very much!

Love, Mommy
