yum

happy wordless wednesday! 

sugar rush

I usually don't allow Lila to eat too many sweets. 

She doesn't drink soda and juice is pretty rare.  She gets popsicles and ice cream on occasion and she definitely doesn't munch on candy daily.  Call me crazy but I don't think she needs the extra sugar. 

But this weekend was out of my control. 

At the lovely baby shower we attended on Saturday she had not one, not two but three cupcakes!  She actually snuck the last one off the table and ate it without me knowing. 

I don't know how she did it.  I guess being little totally has its advantages!

Then on Sunday we went to a birthday party. 

We walk thru the door and she gets a popsicle.

Pinata was broken open and out came the candy. 

I let her have 2 pieces of sour stuff and then she sneaks off and eats many many more. 

AND last but not least its time to sing Happy Birthday and eat cake and ice cream! 

She was out cold no more then

3 minutes after we started driving home.

Well I can honestly say that I am very happy with this result.  I thought for sure that I would be sharing a higher number with you all.  No gain is good with me!

{goals and stats}

starting weight 156

last weeks weight 145

todays 145

goal by 1st of august 132

lbs left till goal 13

My goal for this week is to lose at least 2 more lbs.  I am going to walk and eat small portions and cut out desserts and sweets entirely.  Last week this was my downfall...being on vacation I threw all caution to the wind and ate, what seemed like, my enitre weight in cookies and ice cream.  Oh it was delicious!

How did you all do?

As of today, I have been blogging with love for 2 years!

beach bound!

This last weekend we took a family vacation to Seaside, OR. It was our first family vacation with my dad and little sister. It was fun and the sun was actually shining for most of the time.  My sister lives in Kentucky so we don't see her often.  It was fun to hang out with her.  Lila didn't leave her side!

Here she is with her little buddy Andrew. 

We went into cannon beach to see the annual sandcastle contest on Saturday. It was amazing!

Too busy snapping pictures of the kids to take any of the cool sandcastles...oops!

nothing better then bowling

On Memorial Day I got the family together to bowl. 

It was Lila's first time and she did great. 

With a little help of course!

SO here you go folks.

stranger danger / missing local child

This has been all over the local news since Friday night.  I didn't personally know the child or the parents but it still pulls on the heart strings.  It really scares me and makes me think of what I would do if it was one of my own children who went missing.  You hear all about how your supposed to talk to your children about stranger danger and the importance of not talking to strangers but when is the right age to do it? 

Have you talked to your kids about the importance of not talking to strangers? 

Please look over the information about the missing child and keep him in your prayers.  He has been missing for over 5 days and could be anywhere by now.

And don't forget to hug your children a little extra tight today.
