Blue Frosting and Hot Tubs

Sundays are great... Jerry usually has the day off and we normally spend the day doing whatever we want. Today, it just so happened that we were invited to his parent's house for a seafood boil. Oh Yum!

As per usual, we waited for Cooper's morning nap before we left. When we got there, everyone was so eager to see Belle's new earrings! They all thought she looked so cute (so do I)! We walked in their house to yet again, new toys for Cooper! Good thing all of these things they've been buying are staying at their house.

Cooper ran around outside for a bit and I got some great shots of him playing outside. I mean, some really great shots! I've been so proud of myself lately! My portfolio is definitely coming together... even if it is mostly shots of my own kids. My nephew will be born within the next two weeks, so I'll really get some good newborn/mom/dad shots! I can't wait. Anyhow, here's my favorite shot from the day... I haven't had a chance to take any editing to it, so be gentle!

When we came back in, it was time to eat. Cooper gobbled up some shrimp and Jerry and I gobbled up everything else! It was SOOO yummy. If anyone is looking for a good seafood boil recipe, Tyler Florence has a great one! My inlaws watch food network a lot and my mother in law decided it was time for her to make the boil that she's been wanting for a while! I'm glad she made that decision, although my breath tonight has left something to be desired! After dinner, Grandma and Papa had a blue cookie monster frosted chocolate cupcake. This thing had more frosting on it than cupcake! Cooper dug right in and enjoyed eating all the frosting and leaving the cake! HA! He made a big old mess but was cute as can be!After Coop made his gigundo mess with Cookie Monster, we wiped him up as best we could and headed him right to the hot tub to rinse off. He loves playing in their hot tub. I couldn't leave little Belle out, so she got to play in the hot tub too! That girl LOVES being in the water and she just kicks her little feet the entire time she's in there! She really enjoys being mesmorized by the light dancing with the motion of the water...
