Cooper's 4th Birthday

This is the first year that we will not be in America for Cooper's birthday and so we brought America to Brazil.  We did an Easter egg hunt and dyed eggs.  They don't do either one of these things here so it was new and exciting for them.  We did it at the same spot we have done his party for the last 3 years now.  Anyway here are pictures from Cooper's 4th Ben 10 birthday.

Overall a really fun and cool party.  All the kids really enjoyed the dying eggs and hunt.  They had never done any of those things before so it was really neat to show them American Easter.

Cooper's 1st Swim Comp & Lainey's 2nd

Cooper was so excited to get to win a gold medal like his older brother and sister.  He couldn't wait and he went first and did amazing and was so cute after he said "dad I won the gold I won the gold."  Lainey's 1st race she was dragging the other girl along and I think she was really frustrated but the 2nd race she did amazing when she got the baton she was off and beat the boys =).

 Coop's first race he was so serious.

 I think they were both happy to do it together
