Going to see Auntie "Mall Mall"!

As you can see, Cooper LOVES his Auntie "Mall Mall"!  

All 3 years since Mallory has been at Fresno State she has been a member of PDT - Portable Dance Troupe - which is a Fresno State Dance Company.  Each year they do a performance during Spring Semester and we have been lucky enough to go see it.  The first year I was pregnant with Cooper so Chad and I were both able to see her perform.  Last year we all went to Fresno but since we cannot bring Coop into the show he had to stay at the hotel with him.  This year my dad offered to stay back at the hotel with Cooper so Chad and I could both see the show.  THANKS, DAD!  My mom and dad had gone the weekend before to see the show, too, so at least he was able to still see it once.  I definitely know Cooper enjoyed his time with Poppie because the next morning when he woke up the first thing he said was "Poppie, Poppie" and he cried hysterically because we couldnt go wake you up to see "Poppie"...Cooper sure does think you're pretty great!  Anyways - Mallory's show was great.  She works so hard at what she does and I'm so proud she continues to follow her dreams.

Before the show, we went out to dinner...her is Cooper with Grammie and Poppie afterwards. 

Sister and me after her show - a beautiful dancer she is.

Mallory's good friends from High School came to see her show too - Isaiah, Ashley, Sheri, Mall, Me and Chad.  Good Times!  And such nice friends to come see her show.

All the girlies.

On our way home from Fresno we decided to stop at a cute little place called Casa de Fruita.  We have driven past it many times and have been told by many people "you need to go there!".  So as we were getting close, Cooper began getting quite bored of the car so I thought why not stop today...it turned out to be a great couple hours!  We ate lunch and then walked around and saw all the cool stuff that Casa de Fruita has - train ride, carousel, a fun park and cute little stores.

Here is Chad and Coopie waiting for the Train ride.

Playing on the Orchard Express.  Peek!

Daddy was a bad, bad boy.

Happy to be riding the choo choo train.

A happy boy on his horsey...

Driving the train...he always wants to drive - his new favorite thing to do is climb in the front seat of the car and pretend to drive and press all the buttons - boy oh boy!

Such a fun weekend trip!  Family is the best!
