30 days to a shredded me

Ha ha. I like the claim that Jillian Michaels will created a shredded me, but I doubt a 20 minute video everyday is going to make that happen. But I need to start making some changes to my daily life and this seems like a good place to start...20 minutes of high intensity exercise plus some changes to my diet and hopefully I will see a difference in a month. I have a gym membership, but that hasn't been dusted off since last summer! It is waaaaaay too hot to drag the girls outside for long walks or jogs, so here I am doing something I always said I couldn't or wouldn't do...gasp...follow a video! Now that the summer is here and I am outta school I can concentrate more on me and less on the world around me. Better food choices and more movement. Bring it on Jillian Michaels!

We will see what happens in 30 days. Perhaps a few pounds gone? Let's hope!

Birthday fun

So today I realized that although I have two little girls, I also have a little boy on my hands! I thought I would never experience the boy things in life with two girls, but alas...I am proven wrong.

The little boy I am referring to is my beloved husband who turned 32 today. We started our morning with Star Wars pancakes thanks to Williams Sonoma for such molds...now if only I could get mine to look like theirs!!! Peyton had a great time eating the "bad guys" and she calls them. She had a Yoda all to herself and shared her daddy's Darth Vader (aka Bad Guy)

Then Timmy went off to help Kendall with his new room addition so Peyton and I made a birthday cake for the birthday boy. More fun times! My little helper poured and mixed and taste tested the cake for me. What fun it will be next year having two helpers! My littlest helper was sleeping through the fun times today, but soon enough she will be wrestling her sister for the spoon!
