Happy New Year! We have had such a wonderful Christmas Season with friends and family.  We were all wishing it would kind of last a bit longer but we are back into our routines and already counting down the days until Spring Break! Here is a recap of our holidays. On Christmas Eve eve we went to church. My mom joined us for the story of Christmas, carols and communion.  Travis and I were

I'm actually sad to see Dillon, our Elf, go back in the box. Each morning Cade has had so much fun finding the Elf.  It is pretty magical. Today Cade found Dillon sitting on his gingerbread house with a note.  Cade, Where do gingerbread men sleep? Under cookie sheets! PS.  I did a funny. Love, Dillon So Cade and Travis looked around and found that Dillon had taken all of Cade's underware

We've been having some fun with our ELF On The Shelf, Dillon.                                                                      Naughty Dillon.                                                       Dillon brought new Christmas PJs.                                                                        Dare Devil Dillon.

Today on my afternoon off I went to Toys R Us to return two Lego sets that I no longer needed since Julie scored me that ginormous 1600 piece Lego set on Black Friday! I'm still in shock with that number.  What are we going to do with that many Legos.  I guess the question really is- what aren't we going to do with that many Legos. So once I got my money back on my return I took a quick stroll

Me:  Hey Cade want to come look at the turkey in the oven? Cade:  Sure! Me:  Opening the door......  Cade:  (looking in) Is that like a turkey that says, "gobble, gobble?"  Me:  well... it was. Cade:  Did he like being cooked? Me:   How about you go play until lunch is ready! Needless to say he didn't eat any turkey. We had a great lunch.  Mom and Daddy came and Lewis, Travis' dad

Thanksgiving 2011 will be hosted at my house for the second time. Of course no Thanksgiving is really complete with out my lovely Grandma but I think she'll be with my favorite Aunt Maxine this year in San Antonio.  I have a feeling we'll all be together for Christmas which is my favorite time of year! The Thanksgiving menu this year will consist of:  Roasted Butter Herb Turkey, SkinnyCrockpot

Two Fridays ago we loaded up the car and headed to Lake Livingston for an overnight camping trip.  It was almost ridiculous how much stuff we "needed" to take to go away for one night.  Phones, dvd player, glow sticks, flashlights, lanterns, 2 quilts, 1 set of sheets, 3 pillows, a dog bed, crayons, a grill kit, fishing poles, our luggage, food, water, and first aid kit were some of the must haves

Wow,  feels like months since I posted!  Our computer bit the dust a few weeks ago....but here is what my life has consisted of the past few weeks:  JUNIOR LEAGUE- Holiday Market. My friend Susan and I had the opportunity to plan an amazing event for the Junior League-  Cookies & Cocoa with The Clauses. We both worked are tails off the last few weeks.  We made numerous trips to Wal-Mart, Sam's

To get to the ranch you have to go down a long an winding road, over 2 cattle guards and open 3 gates.  If that doesn't tell you that you are out in the middle of the country, I don't know what will.  This is Cade and Travis opening the 3rd gate. It's a special gate.                                                  This one of the first times Cade has been out there. I'm hoping we'll make

7 o'clock in the morning My day starts with Cade in bed next to me, Lady Bird is at the foot of the bed and Lucy is somewhere under the covers. 8 o'clockWe have had our breakfast and now we're dressed and "combing" our hair with a plastic comb that goes with Daddy's shaving kit.  He even wet it. 9 o'clockWe dropped off some items to donate to our friend's garage sale/adoption fundraiser and

I'm going to do this tomorrow! My "ordinary day" isn't anything spectacular but I can guarantee that the moments I create, I want Cade to remember...I want to remember. So I'm going to do this.  I got the idea from babyrabies.com.

I've been meaning to post this for a few weeks now.... The day before my Papa's birthday I told Cade, "tomorrow is a special day.  It's Papa's birthday." He said, "can we go?"  I said, that we couldn't.  Heaven is just too far away to go.  So I said we'd send  him some balloons and he'd know they were for him. So on August 28th, Cade and I released two balloons to heaven.  We wrote a message to

Today Amanda picked Cade and I up to go on day trip out to the Blue Bell Ice Cream Creamery.   We made it there just in time for the last tour-- nice planning Amanda! We put on our very trendy Blue Bell paper hats and went on the tour.  It starts with a 5 minute movie about the history of Blue Bell.  For the most part the movie held the kids attention...any longer and we'd all been asleep for

Many of my readers (3 at least) follow Bakerella.  My Aunt Maxine sent me an email about a peanut butter pie recipe that Bakerella posted about. Along with the recipe came a really sad story.   Well to make a long post short, I decided to make the pie after reading it. The story is about a woman who had all the intentions of baking her husband a peanut butter pie....tomorrow.  Life just seemed

Friday night was "date night".  It started off with a trip to Home Deopt to check out prices on a new fridge.  Our beloved Frigidaire refrigerator was going out on us.  It all started with the ice maker not making ice.  Then things started to defrost and refreeze.  Then the juice boxes didn't feel very cold but the spinach was frozen on the fridge side.   Things were not looking good for our

Pulled Pork Sandwiches I used one package of pulled pork- thawed slightly. To the pork I added Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce and warmed over a low heat until heated through.  I spooned the warm pork on 2 Hawaiian rolls and.... viola!  A delicious pulled pork sandwich! One bag (1  1/2 cups)  makes 4 sandwiches.

Usually every week I create a menu for us to follow for dinner but this week I'm trying something different.  I subscribe to the Rachael Ray magazine...sometimes I'm inspired other times I'm a little annoyed with the issues because they are SO wordy.  This month, however I actually spent two days looking at it from front to back- even making mental notes on what sounded good.  I shared my ideas

So, yesterday Cade out of the blue asks, "what does a snowman eat for breakfast?" Me, thinking this was a normal everyday question, looked at him with a blank stare.  He follows up with, "frosted flakes!"  That was his first official joke.  I was so impressed I had him tell Nana, Granddad and his Juty. They were all equally impressed. Today started off with a trip to Target.  I swear they

Cade and I made it back from our little hill country road trip.   He seemed to have had a lot of fun with his cousin, Maxie and his grandparents.  So much fun that every time we called to check on him he wouldn't talk to me... or Travis.  Finally, on Sunday I got a little update from him, which I was really happy to get. Kristine and Brandi picked me up just after noon on Friday and we made it

Cade spends the weekend with Maxie!  He is super excited about it.  Has already said he's packing Lucy and going to have a talk with her about the rules at Noni's house..... I'm pretty sure Lucy already knows the rules and I'm also pretty sure she's staying home with Travis.  The plan is for Cade and Maxie to spend the weekend in Austin with Nana, Granddad and Travis P.

Remember way back in May I surprised Travis with a Groupon to Texas World Speedway on his birthday? No, you don't? Well, I did.  It was a pretty good deal and I shared it with two friends and they each bought one for their significant other.  We met up at Charlie's house on Saturday morning and loaded into the *party bus and headed out to College Station to the race track.  *the party bus was

Wow.  I haven't updated in a quite awhile. For the month of June we kicked off our summer by signing Cade up for swim lessons taught by my good friend, Susan.  After his first lesson I was pretty sure he hated me.  He loves splashing in the water and playing with pool toys but take off the floaty and make him go under water seemed like the worst thing I could have asked him to do.  I even played

When we registered for our wedding one of the stores, Der Kutchen Ladel in Fredericksburg, had the Betty Crocker's Bridal Edition Cookbook.  I remember scanning away and hoping that I'd get this book.  It had to be good....look how pretty it is. It's basically a  "how to" cookbook.  With illustrations on what your dish should and should not look like.   I've only made one recipe from this

Yay for Summer Time! I can't believe this time next year I'll be one of those mom's crying because their baby is going to kindergarten.  How can it be?  Here recently Cade has been asking me if I remember when he was, "this little" or "this little".... How can I? Time goes by so fast you really do forget how small they once were... but somehow I manage to say, "of course I do" .... boo-hoo. Day

Travis made the best ribs tonight.  I'm not kidding. He actually surprised me! ;) This morning I decided to go grocery shopping at the crack of dawn (or 8 o'clock in the morning) to beat the crowd. I picked us up some pork ribs for tonight and pork butt for tomorrow night (pulled pork sandwiches)!  That will last us a few days.  I'll make sandwiches and tacos with the meat.  Those are my

Tonight was Breakfast for Dinner.  Cade thought it was so funny that we were having breakfast for dinner and when I told him we were having dinner for breakfast he didn't seem too worried....I really hope he doesn't expect a hamburger in the morning. I tried out 2 new recipes for tonight's meal:  pancakes and an egg frittata.  Both dishes alone had less than 600 calories per serving combined.

It makes the background blurry and the object crystal clear and vice-versa. It's amazing! I want one.

I've had 3 sessions of bootcamp.  I wish I could go to more classes but they are either super early or at time when I don't have anyone to watch Cade.  BUT at least I'm going and I'm still alive!

I'm alive. I survived my first night of BootCamp. I got there a few minutes early to prepare myself for the intense workout.  I laid everything out (mat, gloves, weights) and then wandered on over to some girls who were standing around.  They were all newbies too, but this was their 2nd workout.  They all said Monday was really hard but the good thing is that came back. That's what I'm hoping

I received 2 emails this week about signing up.  The awesome Groupon is what sold me.  I had also heard that a lady at my school is going through the program too but she does the morning classes and I'll be doing the evening ones.  There is a chance that I could join

This spring break we loaded up my mom's 4Runner and headed to the hill country. We made it all but 2 minutes into the drive when we heard the most popular phrase of all road trips, "ARE WE THERE YET?" We decided to stay over night in Austin to break up the drive a bit and to visit with Nini and Noni...oh, and Uncle Travis, too! We saw Maxie practicing her beam routine at gymnastics, very

This past week we went down to the Rodeo at Reliant. My cousin Alex had a few extra tickets to see Martina McBride and we (my parents, Cade and I) jumped at the chance to go.  Martina was amazing.  She belted out the words... it was beautiful. Two of my favorites from the concert were: "Anyway" and "Where would you be" We had a great night. Travis met us at the Reliant Center (he had to

This weekend Cade and I headed over to the Home Depot for their FREE children's workshop class.  We arrived promptly at 9 o'clock and headed to the workshop area.  We waited in line to receive our materials:  an apron and a race car kit was all that was needed.  We found our work space and began by reading the instructions (yay, mom).  From start to finish Cade had a blast.  He finished the car

Today I took Cade (along with my Mom) to see the McTeggart Irish Dancers.  We arrived at the Cypress Creek Community Church at 2:30 for our 3 o'clock performance.  The lobby was full of elderly people, some of which apparently love dressing up for St. Patty's Day (think shiny green garland worn as a headband). I was expecting to see a younger crowd for some reason but it was wall to wall old

This past week I cooked 3 amazing things! 1. Pioneer Woman's Lasagna- the best lasagna I've ever made.... actually it's the only lasagna that I've ever made and will ever make. 2. Pioneer Woman's Beef Drip- THANK YOU Julie for the recipe.  Shredded beef on a toasted hoagie roll. YUM.  Even Cade ate it. 3. Beer Bread- I had bought Travis a 6 pk of LoneStar but he's rarely home to enjoy it and I

My friend Kristine had me read this the other day.  It's from Kids.Woot, which is an online "daily deal" type site.  The "daily deal" was a Cranky the Crane train set, which really isn't that important to know in this whole bit. Bobby, why don’t you put those toys down and come here for a second. Daddy would like to have a little talk with you.That’s a good boy. How are you doing today, buddy?

I admit, I almost had tears today but somehow I managed to hold them back! Cade had a great day.  New bike. New shoes. New toys.  New clothes.  He really raked it in and this is all before his big party on Saturday! Oh to be a kid again! Tonight we met my parents and Kristine at Brother's Pizza for some pizza and cake!  We all enjoyed it and Cade loved the fact that we all sang to him.  At

4 years ago today, my water broke.  I remember it vividly.  I was sitting on the couch, watching TV and blowing drying my hair. I finished drying my hair when all of sudden I felt something a little unusual... like, did I just pee in my pants.  Oh my God, I just peed in my pants.  Wait, maybe not, maybe this is my water breaking.  I tell Travis, he calls the nurse line and I call Julie.   She

There's nothing wrong with lovin on Ruby Robin and wearing new rainboots on a perfectly sunny day!  We took Cade to Academy to test ride a new bike!   Mama and Cade went on a date last week to Brother's Pizza.  Pizza by the slice and super yummy!  LadyBird, 8.5 months!  She is potty trained (knocking on wood) and has learned to play "baby" or what other people refer to as "fetch."

The Valentine Elephant came and visited Cade today.  Travis made up the Valentine Elephant when we were dating... (I know... and I still married him).Here's what the Valentine Elephant left for Cade... just a little treat.   Ruby Robin is back for the next few days... And in 2 sleeps I'll have a 4 year year old. So sad!

So the BIG winter BLAST hit Houston.  What that really meant was:  Parents be prepared for one of the LONGEST days of the year. Today we baked, cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner. We played playdough, pin the tail on the donkey, cleaned out the toy box, cleaned out our cubbies, broke off some icicles, watched Ladybird SPRING and run around crazy, we danced, colored, cut out hearts, played in

My new favorite blog is:  littlemissmomma.com.  I also love her favorite blogs... I just keep clicking from one blog to next and get so inspired!  While I was on LMM, I stole her idea on how to make a pom-pom necklace. She has tutorials on how to make all kinds of super cute, girly stuff, which I love!   I used gingham fabric, felt, ribbon and a glue gun to make my necklace.  It was really

I had the whole afternoon and evening to myself yesterday. It was great! I able to spend the afternoon with Sam and her new baby, Charlie. She invited me to a Grape Oil Tasting party in her neighborhood. I bought a few things for our pantry and birthday gift for my Dad. After that I headed over to Mary's for a glass of wine and dinner. I spent the evening cleaning up a bit and then I crawled

I'm 4 months early but I bought Travis tickets to the World Speedway in College Station. Two of his friends, Charlie and Jeff are joining him on the race track.  They will be able to drive a new 2011 Mustang around the track 3 times solo- then 5 times with a professional.  To a guy this sounds AWESOME. happy WAY early birthday Travis By the way, I purchase my tickets on Groupon.com.  If your

My pantry is organized! I now have my sprinkles, cupcake liners, decorating pens and all that mess in these really cute plastic bins.  They are flat and came with a lid that locks in place.  I also went through all of my spices.  I read once that you should only keep spices for one year. I had some in my pantry from 2007- ick!  I also went through my tupperware containers. Anything that

Ok, so I couldn't start my house organization until my Christmas things were taken down and put away.  I just took pictures of our junk drawer, pantry, and under the sink messes.  Today I will attmept to tackle two of them.  I'm starting with the junk drawer. I couldn't even open it all the way. I cleaned it out and put stuff back in... then I realized it still looked junky. So I eliminated the

We started our Christmas Eve evening by attending the Christmas Eve service at church.  The evening was filled with story telling and caroling by candlelight. The night concluded with this awesome performance by the band at Northside. It was definitely a WOW moment. We headed home and got our Santa snack ready- milk and one cake ball- because from what I hear Santa is watching his waistline

I did it! I finally did it! I took my time, I followed the instructions and I'm still surprised at how nice they turned out!  Usually when I make cakeballs I just roll them, freeze them, dip them, serve them.  This time I went all out! I only made 3 reindeer.  I forgot to add the pretzels while the chocolate was drying... and they are supposed be the "pretzel" shaped pretzels (broken-up) to

I thought I'd share the pictures that didn't make the Christmas card this year.  Why is it this hard to get an almost 4 year old to smile... uhh, where's cade? cute, but what's with the red dots?? cute, but where did that stain come from? Oh well! Enjoy your Christmas card from us!

I could move there- TODAY.  It's just this small town with in a semi-BIG city.  It's perfect.   Our drive up was about 4 hours.  It really went by faster than we expected and we only stopped 2 times.  One out of necessity since we were dropping Lucy off with Travis' dad in Buffalo and the other was

Thanks to Travis' mom, the 3 of us are packing our bags and heading North to the Christmas Capitol of Texas- better known as Grapevine, Texas. We'll be visiting the Gaylord Texan Resort for two days. This place looks amazing.  Here are the stats on how BIG Christmas is at the Gaylord. 52 foot rotating Christmas tree 12,000 ornaments 1.5 million LED lights 5,600 feet of garland a life-sized

Mission Accomplished! Julie and I did it again but this time our mission was much more successful with the addition of 2 newbies, 2 mapped out store floor plans and super fast grocery cart navigation skills.

You might have read in an earlier post that over the weekend my parents celebrated 40 years of marriage! My sister and I hosted a surprise dessert and cocktail party for them at their house after a celebration dinner at Landry's.  We have been planning this since their 39th wedding anniversary.... of course we only started talking details a month ago or so but it's the thought that counts....

This year will be my first time - EVER - to host Thanksgiving dinner.  This morning Travis and I planned out our menu together.   My mom is bringing stuffing and green bean casserole and we're doing the rest.   I knew I was going to be making the Pioneer Woman's Cranberry Pomegranate sauce.  Cranberries are my personal favorite.   I remember spending Thanksgiving at Travis' family's house

Caution:  Don't ever leave your iPhone or iTouch abandoned in our house.  Cade is likely to find it and find the most energetic, loud, obnoxious song you have downloaded and blast it on repeat just so he can dance.  On my iPhone play list that song happens to be Lady Gaga's, Just Dance.   So to make this habit of his a tad less annoying I started having a "dance break" during activities.  For

I'm so glad that Halloween is over with! We were going on day 4 of celebrating as of Sunday.  Thursday night was a costume party.  Friday night was trunk or treat. Saturday was a neighborhood party and then Sunday was a chili cook off with trick or treating.  We had enough fun to last us until next year!

It always feels good to throw out things that are old and broken.  The feeling of clean is one of my favorite feelings.... UNTIL. My 3 year old realized that all of the things I just tossed into a big, black bucket are his things.  In his eyes the book that is hanging by a lone fiber is still worth keeping and "heeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy" the broken shovel with a crack in it, still has to be good for

We'll be hearing Hocus Pocus more and more these days since Cade decided he wanted to dress up as a magician for Halloween!   The costume is rather simple but absolutely precious on him.  It comes complete with shirt/vest combo, mustache, wand, and a black top hat with rabbit.   Last night was his first time wearing it.  We attended Hocus Pocus Pops at The Woodlands Pavilion with our neighbors.

This week is flying by and it's only Tuesday! It's seems like the past few days we have been on the go!  It started on Saturday with a garage sale, followed by a baby shower, a bonfire, church services, pumpkin patch, and small group...then rise 'n shine it's Monday...that's the blurry part.

This weekend we went to the farm and took Cade fishing for the first time.  It was so cute watching Travis and Cade put bait on the hook and cast out the line.  We were pretty sure we were fishing on the wrong side of the pond since it seemed like we barely got any bites from where we were at.  Until.... I decided to hold Cade's rod while he wondered around the pond.  I had a feeling that

Summer is wrapping up.  Tuesday is first day of school.  My litle boy will be a "robin" this year!  yay!  It's going to be a great year for Cade! His teachers (once again) are 2 of the nicest people!  ---on a side note--- I'm

I think I have a case of baby fever. It's just not going away.  So far this week I have unintentionally made matters worse.  I have spent my free time sifting through baby clothes...sorting through them and remembering when Cade was "this little" followed by an "awwww, look at this one, remember when he wore this?" Mostly  Travis just stares at me... but then I see a little gush of fluid fill

We're home, unpacked and back in routine.  BOOO. Our vacation was great!  We went all over the hill country in just a few short days.  Our first stop was Buda, Tx.   We drove in, dropped Maxie off and then made it to our first destination....Cabela's.  Cabela's is one of those stores you could seriously get lost in. What's neat about Cabela's is that there really is something there for everyone.

Yay! Today is finally here! We're off to the hill country today! Our bags are packed.  Our snacks are ready and cold drinks are on hand.  Traveling isn't so much an ordeal anymore.. although Cade did want me to pack his things in a pink bag because Nana and Maxie have pink ones.  I told him in this house- the bags are red! Yesterday I found a great swimsuit, super cute sundress and super soft

Traveling with a toddler is getting much easier these days. Although, I did stop 3 times in under 45 minutes on they way home, it is nothing like it used to be when Cade was a newborn/infant.  It would take me forever to get anywhere!  I hate stopping when I'm traveling by myself, but when it comes to Cade, I'll do anything.  Especially if it involves a nap in the near future!  Even if I have

There is a trend going on in the blogger world these days to take a moment and write a letter to yourself... You start from a certain point in your life and write to the present.  I read a few entries on random sites and was moved by some of the entries... So I thought I'd give it a shot and hopefully pass on the idea to my friends and other random people who might come across this page. Middle

We had a great weekend at the Miller Household.  Friday, Julia picked Cade up for a day and night o'fun.  Apparently too much fun since bedtime wasn't until after 10!  Oh well, it gave Travis and I an entire day to spend together. So since we had the house to our self we decided to head downtown and eat at Red Onion and then try out Sprinkles Cupcakes....except as soon as we entered on to I-45 we

The ESL test is finally behind me. Now I just have to sit and wait for results.  It took me over 4 hours to answer 70 questions.  I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.  I am just glad it's over and hoping that I passed.  It would be nice to have that certification to add to my resume. Speaking of resume.  I didn't get the teaching position I was hoping for.  I guess it's just not

I've been waiting all day for the rain to come.  There was a teaser of shower this morning, then a few sprinkles around lunch and full sun until this evening when the storm clouds rolled in.  At first I couldn't tell if it was thunder or if I was hearing or the loud, obnoxious 4x4 truck across the street that gets fired up every week; but soon enough I heard the first drops hit the window and now

This morning we somehow managed to sleep until 8:20, which would have been a great thing if we didn't have to be at gymnastics at 9. Luckily Cade LOVES gymnastics and was all about getting out the door.  I'm proud to say we made it and had 5 minutes to spare! Go Mom Go! Cade did great in class. I watched from the upstairs viewing area as instructed by Cade himself.  Today they worked on the

For Father's Day we made a day trip up to Buffalo to see Travis' Dad.   We made up there by 2, ate lunch and then the boys headed outdoors to do "guy stuff."  While they did their thing, I had the chance to catch up on important things like... Real Housewives and Cupcake Wars. It was a pretty short trip but I think everyone had a good time.  We headed home around 8 and Cade was asleep before we

Our friend Erin took our family pictures last weekend.  We went to Montgomery and strolled around town. She is such a talented photographer!  So lucky she captured these precious snapshots!  More are to come in the next week or two.

What a great weekend! Stephanie and her family came into town for a quick visit. It was great seeing them and hanging out at the house.  Friday we took the kids to get their picture taken at Portrait Innovations in Champions.  The picture turned out so cute!  I will scan it in and post. Travis took off today so we could spend time together.  We dropped Cade off at my mom's so he could play with

Today Cade had his second gymnastics lesson.  He did really well! He even told my sister that he made a new friend... but he doesn't have a name.  At least it's a boy! Today in class, they focused on having fun, jumping, ta-das and lot's of hanging from a bar with legs up and with legs out.  I think he likes it- so glad we joined. After gymnastics we headed to the gym for playtime for Cade and

Tonight I dropped Cade off at my mom's house for the night. He always goes back and forth on wanting to actually sleep over but somehow today I talked him into it. I think it was something along the lines of, "Nana bought you new Cars underwear..."  That did the trick and now I have the house to myself for a few hours before Travis comes in from work..... Every night (with exception to Sundays)

Tonight I made pecan crusted salmon with a mixed green salad topped with a homemade vinegarette.  Both recipes I found on ohsheglows.com.   This is easily one of the best meals I've ever made.  Even Travis called me from work to tell me how much he loved it.   Adapted from Dreena Burton’s Eat Drink & Be Vegan ‘Back-to-Basics’ dressing.  Dressing Ingredients: 2.5 tablespoons balsamic,

Today Cade asked me if he could go to a 'nastics class.   Being the cool mom I am, I told him I would look up a place and see what I could find.  Well there happens to be a place just up the road called Woodlands Gymnastics.  They offer free trial classes for toddlers... how perfect.   So we went at 5:30 for the "twinkle stars" class.  Cade had 15 minutes of warm-up/stretching, followed by 15

1. Well, the potty fairy has come and gone. She brought Cade a cool blue pool with a slide like he requested. He has been dry since we started with one or two minor accidents. So I'm really proud of him. He still isn't telling us he has to go but he is much more willing to go....so yay Cade.2. Today we went to Subway for lunch. We're in line paying and he looks at the people behind the

Yesterday we headed over to Amanda's for some pool time fun! Cade is hoping to get a pool with a slide at the end of the week..... it all depends on how his potty training goes. With the help of my good friends, Susan and Kristine I have reintroduced potty training to Cade. The past 2 nights one or the other has called and pretended to be the Potty Fairy. They use their own, unique Fairy-ish

1. Summer has officially started for me!2. This past weekend Cade and I rode up to Austin with my parents (yes it was a long drive, but I don't remember complaining about it). Saturday evening Maxie preformed in a dance recital. She did an amazing job! She has grown up so fast and her dancing has really improved since last year!Here she is in her ballet dress and her trophy. maxie's first dance

We'll see if I can get a full TEN on Tuesday...1. I am still drinking my GREEN smoothies- usually two a day. I just upgraded in my greens to Kale.2. I'm starting to do more YOGA. I just had my first one on one with Summer @ Dr Yezak. office. I could actually feel my muscles this morning.3. I'm up to 50 minutes on the elliptical which is 4 miles for me. I need some good work out music to keep me

Since I haven't updated in forever I give you: My top 5 On Thursday1. I started seeing a nutritionist at Dr. Yezak's office last week. She has me on a green smoothie plan and mostly raw diet. You may be wonding what a green smoothie is? Great question. A green smoothie gets it's name from the green vegetables that you add to your smoothie. For instance: spinach, kale, collard greens, etc...
