The Many Faces of Miss Sassy Pants

Couple of Cuties

We took these pictures last night when Rebekah asked to hold Noah. I don't think there was a single one with both of them looking and smiling, but they are so cute and they make me laugh!

The Cupcake Cottage

I was reading my friend, Casey's blog recently and she mentioned a place called the Cupcake Cottage that she went to for her birthday. Always loving new ideas for places to go, I checked out the website and liked what I saw. They just happen to be located 10 minutes away from our apartment! So, I've been dying to get over there and taste their yummy treats for almost 2 weeks now.

Today, we were finally able to get ourselves over there, and let me just say that they did not disappoint! It is this little "mom and pop" shop that makes their cupcakes from scratch and from all natural ingredients. They have 5 flavors of the day for each day. They open at 10am and literally close when their last cupcake sells.

We were so glad we made it in time to taste what we wanted! As shown in the picture above, we decided on one Confetti, a Mint Chocolate Chip (our favorite!), and a Favorite Chocolate (the little one is another mint choc chip), complete with some milk. It was SO great, we know we'll be back for more very soon!

Thanks for the fun and yummy idea, Casey! :)


J - about to try his mint chocolate chip!


Loved this quote from "Miss Piggy".


Little Miss was not interested in pictures as she was about to sink her teeth into her yummy baby cake.




This was when we knew it was time to go...Noah was screaming and Rebekah looked like she was about to fall asleep and was missing a pig tail. haha!

I always enjoy getting out with Rebekah to do inexpensive and fun things. What about you? Do you have fun places that you go to, or fun things you like to do? Please share!

Thought this video was pretty appropriate! So cute!

Purple Cows

Today we were also graced with Jason getting to work a day shift. This means that he got to come home earlier in the day, which was such a blessing! (Although he worked last night until 11pm and was running on very little sleep for the day.)

However, this also meant for me that the usual dreaded question of "what's for dinner?" would inevitably come up! That being said, I was somehow able to manage a negotiation out of my hubby. I explained to him that we needed to go out to eat because I knew how hungry and tired he was and how he surely wouldn't want to wait on me to actually make dinner! .......Well, I am not exactly sure how much of that he bought, but we agreed to get out and spend some family time together.

Once in the car and on our way to my favorite restaurant (OTB!) I had a crazy idea to change our plans and go somewhere fun! We decided to go to the Purple Cow Diner. I had always heard of it, but never been there and it is fairly close to where we live. The result? A fun family night with good burgers and yummy chocolate and purple vanilla ice cream sundaes!

So, here is a little look into our night!

Five Guys

I had the awesome privilege of attending my sister's sonogram appt. with her today! Her friend and I were able to sit in and listen to the amazing sounds of the heartbeat and watch as the tiny little life inside of her kicked and moved around, waving and covering its face....and crossing its legs! haha!

We were, of course, there to find out what the sex was, and this baby was not cooperating! Eventually however, with a little coaxing from the doctor and its anxious aunt (I let it know we meant business!).....he let himself be known!

That's right, ya'll this means 5 boys for my sweet sister! Woohoo! My brother-in-law (former coach) will soon have his own basketball team-in-training! haha!

So, we thought it was only appropriate to eat lunch at 5 Guys Burgers and Fries to celebrate!

I had so much fun, and I can hardly wait to meet and squeeze this little addition to the Phillips' family! I just love pregnancy and the blessings that babies are! Congrats, Cristina!
