August was a fun month. We got to start the month off by heading to Lake Billy Chinook with our friends the Taylors. Cooper had a great time playing with Erin, Abby and Elliot. We had a day on the boat with some wake boarding and wake surfing. Sarah even convinced Erin to get out on the surf board with her. The kids had fun playing in the lake and sand together too. Also in August Kris, Cooper's grandma, came down from Alaska to visit and to be here for Cooper's 3rd birthday. Cooper's birthday party had perfect weather for our BBQ at the park. He had a great time playing with all his friends. On his actual birthday grandma, Cooper and I headed to the zoo. We had a great time checking out all the animals. We even got a chance to take some fun pictures of Cooper to announce that he is going to be a big brother. Now onto all the pictures!
