To Many Chips

I love Saturdays. Especially when we don't have any plans, don't have any objectives for the day and just hang out. It was day two for me with my parents in town and I'm reminded of how much I love spending time with them. While I have appreciated my parents all my life, it's only been recently that I've noticed how great they really are.

Tonight we celebrated my birthday (while not officially until Monday). I've always loved to cook so I requested that I get to make my own birthday dinner. Carey was kind enough to let me. So, it was burgers, veggies and baked beans tonight. It wasn't warm out, but the evening was calm and it was great to be outside. We feasted on grilled food and then finished it up with homemade ice cream cake!



Lately, Cooper has been very conscious of healthy eating, exercise, etc. It could be because we are constantly telling him he needs to put healthy foods in his body and avoid 'junk food'. Cooper could eat nothing but chocolate and never get sick of it. Just like his mother. =) (Miles on the other hand, more like me - would much rather have chips!) Speaking of chips, during dinner, Grandpa got up for seconds and added a handful of potato chips to his plate. Cooper says 'Grandpa! That's a lot of chips! You are going to get fat! Fat! Fat! Fat!'

While we reprimanded him for being rude to Grandpa, we're all laughing on the inside...
