Look Out Valerie B!

Today is the first day of my year long diet. I started Jenny Craig in hopes to become one hot skinny momma. I signed up for a year with JC...(Jenny Craig, not Jesus Christ, but I'm sure I will need him along the way!) My dad is doing this with me as well. I am very excited (and hungry) about this choice. Day one went as well as to be expected. I woke up and had my pre-packaged french toast with berries. It was very yummy and pretty filling. For lunch I had a very good, but so tiny turkey burger with some tomato based soup. This was very good too but did not hold me over very long. Lets just say that tomorrow I will be eating lunch at around 2 PM so I can last until dinner. My spaghetti and meat balls that I had for dinner were very tasty and lets just say...I am really full right now. It was pretty crappy to sit across from Brodie and watch him much on his big ol' steak and baker but it was even worse to watch Keira eat her Mac and cheese and avocado....both are my weaknesses. I did sneak some avocado slices into my salad but decided not to eat them. GO ME! So day one is now over...unless I sleepwalk into the pantry and cook some Mac and Cheese in the middle of the night. Ill keep you all posted on my hopefully successful losses.

Life's a Beach!

Its been so long but Ive been really busy and have not had time to blog. I am loving my summer so far! It is so nice being home with Keira and keeping the house clean, having dinner ready, going to movies, reading books, and everything else that I don't get to do as often as I wish while I'm working. First of all, we had a wonderful and unforgettable family vacation. Florida is beautiful! It was so nice for all of us...(mom, dad, Denver, Kelly, Avery, Bowen, and us) to all be able to vacation together and I hope we get to do this every year. Keria loved the beach, the sand, the sun, the pool and everything about the whole trip. Here are some of my favorite pics from our trip....

Here are the famous kissing cousins...The girls found a dead fish on the beach.

I just love this picture.

I had lots of fun playing with my new camera as you can tell. I will have to blog more later tonight. Keria is telling me to "get off computer now mommy!" Were off to party city 'cause someone is turning 2 in two weeks!
