This Week in Review

This past week seemed a little hectic, as most weeks generally seem lately, but on Thursday, I had a great time tending Baby Riley for Craig and Cassie when Craig needed Cassie at the dental school all day to assist him.  It was so fun getting to know Riley better.  He is a little squirmer who doesn't sleep long periods of time, but when he was asleep, I tried to help out a little around the house.

Mia and I became great friends.  I knew next to Riley, Mia is pretty important in the Copeland household.  I made sure I always knew where she was.  One time I really freaked out because I couldn't find her anywhere in the house.  I opened Cassie's closet to put something away, and when she jumped out, I screamed so loud, I thought you could have heard me ten miles away!  I guess she likes hiding in  Cassie's closet and chewing on her slippers!  I'm amazed I didn't wake up Riley!

George and I had to speak on Sunday, so we both worked on our talks whenever we could.  Sunday night after the talks were all over, ward choir practice and stake choir practice were over, we had a fun little birthday party for Isaac.  He is turning four years old on Monday, so we celebrated Sunday night.

He is still very much into Transformers.  He and Garrett seemed to really like the Transformer card, but Isaac especially loved his Transformer cake.  He smiled from ear to ear when Amy brought it out!






He is such an enthusiastic little boy.  Happy Birthday, Isaac!  We love you!



Lola sat on Grandpa's lap during the party.  She likes to mess his hair up like hers after a bath!

Wow--not only is church work keeping you guys busy, but also birthday parties! I love the Transformer's cake. Is this from Publix? Everyone looks so great and happy---I love it!

p.s. I LOVE Garrett's reaction on his face when Isaac is opening his present. He is even happier than his brother who is actually getting the gift--how cute!

So cute!! Jeff and Amy's kids are such an "either/or" bunch. They either look like Barlows or Copelands. Luckily both are good lookin!!

I still think that Isaac looks so much like Craig! Did Craig look like Isaac at this age! What an awesome cake. Did Amy make it? If so, I'm really impressed!

Laura, you make me laugh, just like Alison does. I can just see that cat scaring the daylights out of you!! I'm still laughing about the fact that you dusted Craig and Cassie's home with Raid. You're the best!

I'm with Michele...your blog is such fun to read because you are never beyond telling the whole story including the funny, interesting things always happening to you. Amy and Jeff's three kids have darling expressive looks and it appears they enjoy their children lots. Happy birthday to little Isaac!!
