Weekend fun...

We had another fun weekend away from home. We headed up north this weekend to celebrate my FIL and my MIL birthday's. It was a nice get away from the heat, but not much outdoor fun, as there was lot's and lot's of rain. Monsoon season is upon us for sure!


Still - it was a nice relaxing weekend and we are so lucky they welcome us with open arms the way they do!



We came home today and got settled in - but the kids were a bit restless - so we made some cookies...here they are licking the spoons of course!

I am still doing good on the diet. It was hard sitting at Oregano's for my in-law's bday dinner and eating a plain salad with grilled chicken from my purse...but I did it! (it is one of my fav restaurants that I don't go to often). I was having some weird up and downs on the scale a couple days last week and we finally figured out our scale is broken. (no, really - i"m not kidding!). So, I got a new scale and am back on track. So far I'm down 15 lbs and I have 5 days left on the very low calorie diet portion of this program. Feeling good! I also bought some new jeans the other day and I'm down 2 sizes, 3 sizes in some things. Yeah!

Can't believe it is only 1 more week of camp for Shaun, then a week off with fun days with different family members, and then he is off to 1st grade!!!
