And so Coopy F is 1!!!

And just like that- my little baby boy is turning 1. Officially his birthday is November 27th. It's on Thanksgiving this year, so we had a birthday party this past Sunday. We had a bounce house and a caricature artist. It was really a lot of fun. We had about 35 people here and Cooper face planted the cake! Carrie made a DVD of Cooper's first year starting from the day he was pictured as an embryo! Of course, I cried. Cooper has brought me so much joy. He is the love of my life and the love of Carrie's life. He really is such a gift to both of us.

I cried tears of joy- but also tears because my little baby is little no more. Time is going so fast. Here are a few pics of my little boy that is growing up way to fast. Happy Birthday Coopy F. Thank you for coming into our life. You will always be Mommy and Momma's little boy.

I cannot believe it!

My little baby boy is turning one on Thanksgiving Day!!!



My grandfather brought delicious apples to me from his farm. I made miniature apple tartlets in a mini-muffin pan because I only had one pie crust so I couldn't make a whole pie! These actually turned out better- and so cute!

You fill each muffin "hole" with a little pie crust, fill with cooked apples and bake for about 20 minutes. Then- serve them warm with vanilla ice cream. YUM!!!

I cored,peeled and sliced the apples and cooked on the stove top with abouot 1/8 (2 tablespoons) of butter, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg and raw sugar to taste.



This is my most recent jewelry piece! I adore this necklace made with a soft feminine pink carved rose focal bead- hanging on a sterling silver rosebud headpin. I also used tiny freshwater pearls to accent and I put one on this necklace by itself on one side, and it falls just on the collarbone. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think of it!!
