A cookout at mimi & paw-paw's

This past weekend we had a cookout at mom & dad's house and my nephew & niece were there too. Coen hasn't been around his cousins a lot but that's because we don't get to see them very often. But is was great to hang out with them for a day. Here are just a few pictures of Coen eating corn on the cob at the cookout. He loves corn on the cob & I like to watch him eat it. It's funny to see him rotate the ear of corn around in his hands, or "paws" as we call them because he has fat little hands.

Modeling

On Memorial Day weekend we attended a wedding. Here is a cute picture I captured of Coen leaning up against the fence at the wedding. The wedding was of course outside. I love this picture of him. I think it's adorable.



And here is Coen being the typical little boy that he is, jumping off chairs.

Elmo

A while back the Greensboro Coliseum was advertising Elmo live. Since Coen is a big fan of Elmo we decided it would be fun to take him to see the real thing. It was an hour show and Coen did well the whole time we where there. I think he enjoyed it and afterwards he got an Elmo soccer ball from the gift shop. Here are a few pictures of the show.

Coen's first baseball game

A couple of weeks ago we took Coen to see a Dash game since the new stadium had opened. Coen loves anything that deals with baseball , basketball & football. We had great seats, right behind home plate. Coen keep his eye on Bolt, the team mascot. Bolt came around to where we were sitting but Coen wasn't to sure of him. Coen actually watched the game & would clap when the team was doing good. We look forward to many more Dash games this season. Here are some pictures.

Cupcake website

My new website is now up & running thanks to Jonathan. Most of you know that I decorated cakes but I have now switched to cupcakes. They are just easier and faster for me to make.

Here's the link to the site.

For the chocolate/peanut butter lover

As most of you know I had gotten into making cakes, well now I'm getting into cupcakes. I have been wanting to try this new cupcake which I've called the "double chocolate peanut butter cup". Of course it's a double chocolate cake with a peanut butter frosting topped with Reece's Pieces candy. Here are some pictures of them that I have taken with my new camera. I love my new camera by the way. It takes awesome pictures.

Easter

Happy Easter! After church this morning we went to grammy's house where we took some pictures & Coen hunted for Easter eggs. It was a beautiful day to be outside.

and here is a collage of my Easter cupcakes I made.

A bike ride

Saturday afternoon Coen I went for a bike ride together for the first time. For Christmas Jonathan & I both got new bikes to ride & in February for my birthday I got a bike trailer so Coen can join us. It's was finally warm enough so I wanted to test it out & see if Coen liked it. He loved it, he was shouting & laughing the whole way down the street. I can see lots of bike rides coming soon.

The Biltmore House

This weekend Jonathan & I took a weekend trip to Asheville for our 5th wedding anniversary. We spent time walking around downtown Asheville enjoying all the local shops and tasted some of the best chocolate truffles in Western North Carolina at the Chocolate Fetish. My favorite was the key lime pie truffle & the french velvet truffle. Then we were off the to see the Biltmore House which was beautiful. We had a great time we were not ready to come. I wish I had more pictures to show but we were not allowed to take pictures inside the Biltmore house. We did manage to get one picture of us in front of the Biltmore.





Then it was back to reality after we got home with Coen. As you can see he got very creative with his tub markers tonight at bath time. We didn't want our trip to end but we did miss our little munchkin.
