I love airplanes and swimming!

















Hi blog fans, how in the world are you? As you can see, I am doing pretty great, having lots of fun as usual. Above you will see pics from my outing to the air and space museum. It was brother's first big field trip on none other than Valentine's day and boy, did we have a ball! I don't know if you knew it or not, but I love airplanes! I also had quite the weekend, including a visit from Gram, Gramps, and cousin Kamrie. I did have a bit of the stomach flu, but I certainly didn't let that slow me down. They all went and watched my last swim class on Sunday and I have to say they were quite impressed with my skills in the water. Dad has a time keeping up with me. Mom was taking so many pictures I felt like a celebrity! You'll be happy to know that the stomach bug has already passed through our house with none of us the worse for wear. We are keeping our fingers crossed that Gram, Gramps and Kamrie don't catch it, especially since they were so nice to come to UB and see us. In fact, Gramma is so nice, she is staying the whole week to hang out with us. She is something else, it is only Tuesday and she has already rearranged the kitchen for us! I honestly don't think mom is going to allow her to leave. Today, Mom, Gramma, Jagger and me all went to lunch together. We ate at Panera, one of my most favorite places. It was such a good time! We also went to the library for reading circle and I wowed Gramma with my artwork. You simply wouldn't believe what a good boy I am. Speaking of good boys, I have quite a brother too. He is so easy to get along with; mom says his middle name is let's go! Every time we get in the car, he falls asleep. Somehow, this truly amazes EVERYONE. I think they may be suggesting I was less than a perfect napper. How dare they?! In fact, I have been showing both mom and Gramma what a big boy I am by getting up every day for the past two weeks at 5 a.m. Not only that, I take it one step further and delay my naps until the last possible moment, read, until mom steals a moment to rock me. Don't let her fool you though, she eats it up. Speaking of eating it up, we had a special guest last night besides Gramma. Liz came by to visit and for the occasion Dad bought us all coconut cake! YUM! Little did he know, Gramma and Mom shared a slice of Jewish apple cake for lunch. Keep that one under your hats! Speaking of dad, we are so proud of him, work is going well and he is about to add yet another Crossfit contract under his belt. We are counting our blessings in this nasty economy that his business is steadily growing. Great news, cousin Robbie is home from his deployment; thanks for your service and welcome back! Be sure also to keep uncle Bart in your thoughts and prayers. We are certainly lucky to have such brave men in our family. Well, I guess I should run, always lots to do, but please remember to check in for the news. We know we aren't writing as much as we should, but we love you and think of you always nonetheless. Take care and be safe and please, come and see us if you have the notion. It sure will be lonely around here without Gramma B. Lots of love and wishes for defrost, Cooper B.

Ok, Cooper and Jagger, I am ready to head south again! You two sure help an old lady get through her day. You kept me moving and I loved it. Can't wait til the warm weather hits and we can really put some miles on us. Have a fun week and happy napping! I can't believe your mom mentioned our double sweets! Love, Gram-maw

It looks like you guys have been up to nothing but a good time in Union Bridge. Cooper you have certainly turned into quite the young man, and what a great big brother you are. Little Jagger is sure lucky to have such great experience to look up to. Have a great week, and until next time keep those smiles coming. Love Helen
