The Townsend Family's First Halloween

Cooper, Nana and Paw Paw

We had a fantastic first anniversary and spent the day together in beautiful (I mean cold and rainy!) San Diego. Despite the weather being a little dreary, the day was fantastic and we had an absolutely wonderful first anniversary. Troy flew the family home and Cooper got to see his daddy hard at work. It just melted my heart to see my boys together on the airplane and I could not have been any prouder.

We had a visit from Nana and Paw Paw Norton this past week as well and had a great visit! Cooper impressed his grandparents by hitting a brand new milestone, CRAWLING!, and laughed and giggled the whole week through. My favorite parts of the week were celebrating Nana's birthday and taking her on a shopping spree and then taking the family to Schnepf Farm's pumpkin patch. Farmer John (aka Cooper) had so much fun at the petting zoo and in the pumpkin patch.

We enjoyed a relaxing visit and wish you were closer so that we could see you more often! Thank you for coming out to Arizona!

Here are some fun videos of Cooper T checking out the other baby in the mirror. :)

Happy Anniversary!

On this day, one year ago, Troy and I committed our lives to eachother. It has been a whirlwind of a year with many blessings. I feel so lucky to have met my best friend (in the airport security line no less) over 3 years ago. Every day is a blessing. He makes the highs higher and the lows bearable I am overwhelmed with the love we have and how each day makes us a stronger couple. I love you sweet husband and thank you for all that you do and for making our family so happy.

Happy Anniversary!

8 months!

It is hard to believe that Cooper T is already 8 months old! He continues to amaze us with all of his accomplishments and his shining personality.

We had a very busy week and we packed up the family and headed down to Tombstone, Arizona, an old western cowboy town about 3 hours away from home. I had to work down there for the day and rather than going and staying alone, my boys decided to travel with me! It was so much fun and Daddy and Cooper had a boys day touring Tombstone. We met up later that evening and had dinner at a Western saloon, The Crystal Palace. It really was like stepping back in time. Cooper even got his picture taken with a saloon girl, lucky boy!

We are days away from crawling! He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth. He is getting frustrated because he only goes backwards but we don't think it will be much longer before we are chasing him around the house. Watch out Scout!

Grandma Linda stopped by for a visit this weekend and we were very happy to spend time with her! Coop had a great time and was very giggly when Grandma would tickle him. (ticklish just like his momma!)

We hope you all have had a great week! Go Dawgs, finally a win!

Thanks for my Nautica jacket Uncle Wayne!

Twins!

7 months! Sitting in high chairs and munching on avocados are a few of Coop's new tricks!

Our little darling is now 7 months old and is growing up quickly (way too quickly!) He now sits up in a highchair at restaurants, rolls over freely, props up on his knees (he is ready to start scooting!), loves avocados, yogurt and turkey and gray! He also brings the spoon to his mouth and holds his own bottle about 50% of the time. We have a big boy now!

Congratulations Kyndal and Robbie on your nuptials! Kyndal, you were a gorgeous bride and it was an honor to be in your wedding party. :)

Enjoy the new pictures of Cooper T! (Our personal fav is the one in his Halloween lobster costume, thank you Aunt Chris!)
