Cooper is 14!!

 Cooper Flynn turned 14 YEARS OLD TODAY! FOURTEEN YEARS OLD! The time is going by so quickly. I remember cuddling this cute, chubby, happy toddler like it was yesterday.

Cooper is full of charm, mischief, wit, and outright fun. He is such a happy, kind, funny, thoughtful boy and we can't imagine life without him. There is never a dull moment with him and I love him more than words can say! He is still in choir, has a good friend group at school, and continues to play the guitar like a rock star. 

He's been a charmer since birth, still loves to never wear pants, has an AMAZING sense of humor, and a smile that is contagious and gets him out of a lot of trouble! Happy birthday, Coop! WE LOVE YOU!!!

 

I'm so proud of the honest, kind, handsome young man Cooper has become!

What Do You Mean, Amelia's 17?!

  Amelia turns SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD today! One more year and she's officially an adult. It's mind-boggling! I know I've said it before, but Amelia is such a sweetheart! She is SO happy, optimistic, cheerful and non-teenagery. She might be small, but she's mighty.

Seventeen years ago, at 9:11 pm, I was blessed with the most beautiful, caring, talented, loving, smart, funny, determined, and kind-hearted, 8 lb. 6 oz. girl I know. And everyone else who meets her agrees with me. :-)  She went from this:

To this:

 I can't express how much I love this young women. She is always smiling that amazing smile, has eyes that twinkle with happiness and at times mischief, and is an absolute blessing in our lives. She is dependable, kind to others, a confident little sweetheart and I'm blessed to be her mother.

Here she is over the years:

Enjoy your last year, Amelia! Next year, you're an ADULT! 😉😁😲😳

P.S. I'll try and be better about posting--I got out of habit of taking pictures with the whole COVID thing.

Amelia's Sweet Sixteen!

Amelia turns SIXTEEN YEARS OLD today! I know I'm biased, but the is SO AMAZING! She is SO happy, optimistic, kind, cheerful and non-teenagery. For example, she came up with a hashtag for her birthday this year: #sweetsixteenandquarantied. How can you not love her? BTW, when this virus passes, I'll still be requiring a 6 foot distance between her and all prospective dates. :-)
