*Whew*

We just got home from the lake. It's a lot of work going to the lake, and we didn't even have Cooper! We had a lot of fun though. We drove down with Jill and Jason, Abby and Riley met us down there.

We made a fire Friday night and cooked rubbery burgers. lol. They were nasty as hell. We grilled Zucchini and that was the best part of the meal for sure. I intended to go into Eufaula for "Whole Hog" <-- totally a country, hick festival/carnival... but it was pretty late by the time we got done cooking and cleaning up dinner. Saturday we went out on the boat all day. It was great. We laid out, rode the jet skis, drank some malibu, laid out more... drank more... Did I mention we laid out?! Yeah. I look like a freaking lobster today. I was stupid... but hopefully this sunburn will turn into a tan and not just peel off.





Cooper actually acted excited to see us when we picked him up from Oma's. Normally he whines and grunts when we pick him up because he wants me to hold him... but today he shreaked with excitement. :) It was great to see him. We were gone for two nights, which is the longest since he was born.

Philip is working days this week, but he's working 12 hours shifts monday, tuesday, wednesday, friday, saturday, sunday and monday. Yeah. It is going to suck... but at least he'll be home at night instead of gone all night. Ugggggh.

Favorite WW obsession this week: Grilled zucchini!!

Cooper said "Mama" today!! First it was "Mamamamama" then just straight out "Mama." I'm so excited he said his first word! I've been signing to him as often as I can remember, so hopefully that will help expand his vocabulary.

It's been a month since my last update... but I feel like I have nothing to write about... :-/

I quit Chili's finally. I'm sad I don't get my discount anymore, but that's pretty much all I'm sad about when it comes to quitting Chili's. It's nice to have Fridays off again.

Cooper swam for the first time last weekend! It was so much fun. I thought he might not like it because the water was pretty cold. I lowered him into his floaty and he LOVED it. He was so relaxed and loved splashing in the water. I've got a water baby on my hands. :) I think we're taking him to the lake for the first time this weekend, which should be a blasty blast.

Oh, speaking of 'blasty blast'.... I was planning to surprise Philip to see Dane Cook in Dallas on June 19th which is the weekend of Father's Day. I bought the tickets and reserved the hotel. I NEVER get to surprise him so I was really excited. Well, turns out he was planning the exact same trip as an early birthday surprise for me (my bday is July 3rd). UGH! I was so bummed. I was really excited about surprising him. Oh well, we'll still go and it will be SO fun. I'm just glad he hadn't bought any tickets yet... that would have really sucked.
