Easter!


We had so much fun for Easter! Rex dyed eggs at Popa's house. He had so much fun and only one splashed dye all over. If it was warmer we probably would have done it outside so he could have had more fun.


I'm so glad that Miah was home for Easter too. He really enjoyed seeing Rex having all his fun with eggs. Rex loves eggs to whether they are boiled, scrambled, or plastic so I think Easter was his favorite holiday so far.


 After the eggs dried we were able to put the Buzz stickers on them and then do our tradition of  epuring. That's where you try and get the toughest egg to not break as to hit them tips together. Rex's egg broke Mommy's and part of Popa's but in the end Popa's won.

 We went to church and everyone loved Rex's little hat and everyone was glad to see Miah and some new friends of mine were excited to meet him. Easter is a family church event so both my parents went with us. After church we headed down to Granny and Grampy's house (Miah's grandparents). Rex really enjoyed having all the cousins down there to play with. He actually ate really good too which is a first at a holiday dinner there.  He normally just cries through dinner but not this time. He pigged out!


 

 Hope everyone enjoyed an Easter filled with family and love!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
