Cooper & Mike’s birthday

We went to Cooper & Mike’s graves today. We planted a rose bush by Cooper’s headstone. I can’t believe he would have been 1 today. I sure miss him.

015

We drank flavored milks at the cemetery. When Cooper was in the hospital we would let the boys pick out a flavored milk, so it will be our little tradition each year to have flavored milks on his birthday. Our nephew Caden (Brandon’s son) joined us today.

Porter is 4!

We celebrated Porter’s birthday in Show Low at the Hall’s house. WE had dinner, dessert & a piñata.

Porter’s cake: chocolate praline with whip cream & ice cream.

good ending to a rough morning…

Porter had a colonoscopy at UMC today. It was so sad, it took 3 times to get the IV in & Porter screamed & cried. It broke my heart. Plus, this is the hospital that Cooper died in almost a year ago- hard to be back. The colonoscopy went fine…he has hemorrhoids, some ulcers & gastritis, poor boy. He will stay on the zantac & prevacid.
