Geocaching

Have you heard of the new trend of geocaching? Not really sure how new it actually is but it's new to us for sure. Last weekend our nephew turned 8 years old and he wanted to go geocaching. It seemed like it could be fun and Monkey wanted to go along. We took the 30 minute trip the boating district of OKC and started our journey there.
Lucky for us the flooding that was caused from the storms earlier that week had gone down. Just look at all the debris and the boat that was washed up onto a flower bed. There were boats all over that were on grass or broken from the rushing flood waters!
But that debris didn't keep us from moving forward and keep looking. Our first attempt didn't end well. We think it might have gotten washed away with flood water because there was nothing around so we moved on and headed towards Brick Town.

We enjoyed hanging out with the horses from the Oklahoma Land Run Monument. Say Cheese! Aren't my boys adorable! They are such good picture takers!

















We contiuned to Brick Town and headed to one near Toby Keith's restaurant. We were looking all over the place and even got all confused on where we were suppose to be looking and ended up in the mud of a construction site. Monkey ended up loosing his boot in the mud and Hubby had to go and rescue him and his boot. We ended up having to go to buy new socks for him at Bass Pro Shop near by so we could keep moving on. We did find that geocache though. Thank you Toby Keith geocache person!

We continued on our adventure through Brick Town and found one of the two geocache we tried but it was getting late so we had to give up on the last one even though we think we were close. We headed back to Toby Keith's restaurant and ate some yummy slightly over our budget food and then headed home. It was a long fun day and I enjoyed spending my Mother's day with my boys having a fun adventure around the city!

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 ...
