Chris turned 39 over the weekend. This is what we(me and kids) got him for his birthday:

Finally able to get a flower on the vine :) My arm is a tad bit swollen... I'll maybe post another pic once the swelling goes down..

If you are serious about wanting to loose weight you must get this book! AND you must be REALLY serious~

I purchased this book back in my early 20's and lost 50 pounds. Went from a size 16 to 10!! Now that my always loose, sometimes even to big jeans are very tight (like kinda obnoxiously tight) I have purchased this book again..... If you want to learn proper portion sizes and healthy eating this is for you!! Not only does it tell you how many "portions" of each food group you need to eat for the slimming phase and all others it also has pages devoted to telling you how much of what equals one portion(example 15 grapes is one fruit portion, 1 tbsp peanut butter is 1 protein serving)...It is AWESOME and because there is so much food to eat every day I eat close to 6 times a day, sometimes I do eat 6 times a day and you know what that means..........my metabolism is going into hyper drive and always working. Now add in walking/running/biking and I'm sure to get this extra baggage off and then some :-) Warning....if you pay more than 20 bucks for this book you are WAY over paying!!!! Happy loosing :-)

This girl loves her some dogs!

My Mother's day gift

I've done most of my anual planting..........

Birthday and other things..........

Norah, Norah and Noelle before the 5/3rd fun run, sooo cute :)

My one and only baby girl turned 7 on Sunday....... She requested a chocolate cake with blue frosting and a horse on top..

This is what a 10yr old boy does at sister's birthday....

I have a lot more pictures but don't have the time to post them :(

Sooooo even though my new meds are so totally awesome and have made me the kind of mom I desperately wanted to be, I can tell I'm not on anything for my ADHD and sometimes it stinks! Example being, I have about 6 different projects started or in the works, all of them "partway" done.... sigh...... BONUS, new meds don't make me stress or anxious about all of them all over :-) Have a good day all, I'm off to spend another 10min on something before moving on to something else.............

Someday I shall remember to take a before I start picture and then an after... I think it's hard to imagine how this(see 1st pic)

was all behind garage buried along with about a full tree's worth of branches... After 1 Friday afternoon it now looks like this (see 2nd picture)

I put up that lattice to "hopefully" keep the branches and twigs behind the garage instead of having Frank drag them all over the entire backyard to chew on... Bonus will be if he doesn't destroy the pretty lattice!

Someday I will start this list..........................................The first step is printing it off right???? Then finding the time to actually start it...... (it's been up for about a month)

This is for Karen :)

Just because I love watching Mars rub all over a dog with kitty love........... I recently went to a baby shower and was able to try out 2 new recipes... Wow was one of them ever good!!

These are Pink Lemonade Cupcakes...... OMGosh yummmmmmmmmmm

I have never had Cucumber sandwich's before but these looked so cute that I had to give them a try for the shower.. Open faced mini cucumber sandwich's.................................................................................. After finally making my own temporary "curtain" Chris suggested we go to the fabric store and get some to make a proper curtain.... See I've been wanting privacy FOREVER around my bed. Can't stand that people could see my "bedroom" as they walked down the stairs... Now when you see the messy couch please look past that :)
