Starbucks, you've got competition

You should visit this place today....and go often so they will stay in business! After a morning full of pictures, running, and playing in the park I thought I'd take Cooper to ORANGE TREE, which is in Spring Creek between LOUIE'S and SPICY PICKLE (2 of my favorites!) Well you can officially add a 3rd favorite in that plaza, place to eat, that is! You get this huge cup, then serve your own FAT-FREE frozen yogurt (except Peanut Butter and Chocolate have a little fat in them)then you get to top it with whatever toppings you like. Sound expensive? Well you pay $0.36 per ounce, so you control how much you get, all together we paid a little over $3 for 8 ounces of chocolate and coffee yogurt topped with oreos! The best part of it is I don't think that I ruined my running from eating it since its mostly fat free! Go check it out today! (For the record, STARBUCKS is still #1 in my book, I will still go there, probably more then I'll go to Orange Tree, but Summer is just around the corner!)

Don't you think this should be their advertisement?




and this is how I found Cooper yesterday with my mom...

A friend from work sent me this from her friend in Ohio....


I'll let you have your own opinions...

Easter Sunday

Oh Wait...that was last year....this year.....

Cooper's Easter Basket from Mama Jo

How crazy is it how much 1 little kid can grow in a year, my how he's grown up!

What's so funny?

Dad shooting baskets....this has nothing to do with Easter, other then it happened on Easter. Jeremy was shooting baskets on Cooper's little goal, Cooper was dying laughing, I wish I would've video taped it, it was so funny. We thought he was seriously going to start crying.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Preview

Here is a little sneak peak of pics to come, as in I'm way to tired to sort through the massive amounts of pictures I took at our son's first Easter Egg hunt, I believe from car back to car we spent 15 minutes there....I'm sure I took more photos of my child then anyone else there....but let's face it, how can you not photograph this face?

I was worried...

that this would happen while we were gone for the weekend, he was getting so close and on Monday, he finally let go! It's the cutest thing I've ever seen, and he is so proud of himself. He's still not doing this 100% of the time, but I'd say about 95%, I'm sure by this time next week, he'll be running with the best of them....

Quartz Mountain

We are at the couples retreat at Quartz Mountain Resort, we drove by QMCC and I starting singing my beloved camp song from years ago. I've never been the resort and it is very nice. I highly recommend coming out here if you haven't. Last night we stayed with Anthony and Rachael in Clinton, America...we ate at this place called Simon's Catch outside of Elk City, I had the best steak of my life, amazing, so tender I could cut it with a fork. They have 5 things on the menu, all-you-can-eat catfish, a filet, ribeye, and strip steak, and shrimp, it was packed, and I'm sure they don't need any advertising, but it's worth the trip out there once in your life to enjoy. My parents have Cooper, and I'm sure he's not missing us one bit, I know from facebook that he went to the zoo, saw the horse next door, and likes green grass, this is the boy that cries when I pick him up from grandma's house, so he's being well taken care of. So at our retreat I'm updating the blogs and Jeremy is watching basketball....don't worry it's free time (=relax time with no one crawling up your leg wanting you to play, we do love him, I promise!)


I made these sugar cookies for the retreat, they are the best I've ever made, yummy!
