A Cupcake and the Lakers!!

It's a beautiful day here! Hubby and I took a trip downtown for lunch and ate at this new little creole cafe. It was nice to sit outside and enjoy the day. Food was yummy. I had a great salad and hubby had a creole pasta with shrimp, chicken and sausage. BUT on the way back to the car we found the cutest cupcake shop and had to stop! It's called Casey's Cupcakes & Cappuccinos. It's near the Mission Inn that we love so much. Below is the box that our carrot cake cupcake came in...we shared one because we are both on Weight Watchers...and it was fabulous!

So tonight...we are headed to my son's girlfriends for dinner and to watch the Laker's game!!

What are you up to on this wonderful day?

Bella's Special Time!

View Album

About a month ago, I decided to make cupcakes with Bella. She is my big helper in the kitchen. I started putting her up the counter to watch me and hold things when she could first sit up. She loved just sitting there. Now she likes to get involved by cracking eggs, putting the flour in the bowl, etc. I enjoy this time together and so does she. She loves to play in water and with bubbles. This was her first time at the sink playing in the dish water and helping grandma clean. These moments are the most precious and I treasure each and every one of them. I enjoyed these moments with my own children and now I get to share this time with my grandchildren. What a joy! It's my day with Bella and Dylan today. They are both napping so grandma can get a little down time on the computer. Life is good!
