Cooper's birthday party

Cooper wanted a Batman birthday party at a bowling alley.  We invited his 5 best buddies from preschool/church and their siblings and had a great time.  This was a perfect party for a hot July afternoon.  It was really fun to see him being silly and cute with all his buddies. Cooper doesn't always like being in the spot light.  It is almost like it is too much pressure, so instead of trying to "act" his best, he refuses to do anything that is expected of him.  But, he had a ball at the party and seemed totally at ease being in the center of attention. Peyton and Karsten bowled in a lane with the older siblings (Lucy and Sam) and Karsten won both games.  Peyton pouted and whined about it until cake time.  Looks like she got her dad's sore-loser attitude!

 Cooper got a spare and was so excited.  He ran back from the lane jumping all around and yelling "Let's give each other high-fives!".  And proceed to high five all his friends.
