Happy Birthday Super Cooper

While we were getting our move on. Cooper turned 1. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!!!! We are having 2 super Cooper themed parties. One was on his birthday and the next one will be in July when we are 100% settled. Here are the pictures of his first little shindig.

My neighbor made these darling super hero capes for Cooper and Taylor and they are reversible!!! (p.s. isn't my dad darling)

Here I am...

WOW!!! can you believe how long it has been since our last family update? Ridiculous, right? Well we are all settled in the Bay Area and LOVING every minute. Lots of love for my friends in LA. ( I made some great friends super fast there ) but San Francisco is much more my style... but nothing beats San Diego... Still heart broken for my girlfriends there :( As I get our house refined I will post some more pictures. At this point everything is out of boxes and in place. I just need to go room by room and get things perfected. 

1st A huge huge THANK YOU to Allie, Brad and Sinead who moved us into our house in 1 day. 1 day!!!!! 99% of all our our boxes were unpacked on Saturday. It made the move so much easier and everything has been streamlined because of there help. Man, living by family is the BEST. 

Our first morning in the new house. We were waiting for the moving truck and having our first family breakfast. 

 Coopers new room/playroom. I've rearranged this room since this picture but you get the gist. This room is right off of our front room. It's a perfect place for all of the kids goodies, and super easy to put away. I can't handle the front room being a playroom. A few toys are okay but I need a place to organize and store the 1000's of toys we have. ( look at all the GREEN, it is so beautiful in our neighborhood!)

 The first few days it was 95 degrees at our house. Perfect for a picnic lunch and dip in the pool in our huge backyard. Lucy doesn't know what to do with all this grass.

Little Coop is obsessed with the basketball. I'm keeping our go to toys in organized baskets on our bookshelf. Coop is away getting his basketball out. 

This is summer

AT LAST!

We finally found a place in San Francisco!!! The lease was signed today and we move in two weeks. I am giddy, I can't wait to be back together as a family.
