Up To Date

Alright, here some more pics to make it an up to date status for us :). 

Last week there was a Ladies' Margarita Night on one of our neighbors deck and even though I was completely exhausted I went and had an amazing time and got to see this amazing sunset right off her deck.... I love our neighborhood:

Kleiner Schelm... erwischt beim Schokolade essen ;)

Strawberry Picking on a SAT morning... the kids have been asking me for months to go Strawberry picking and the time finally arrived that the Strawberries arrived and were ready for picking ;)

At a German Get together I brought a Marzipan Brot with me... the kids got a glimpse of it and asked me when I got home to eat one as well... well that thing was gone before I knew it! Crazy! German taste buds for sure :)

Zoe's Award Party... she was so proud receiving two ribbons. One for first place and one for second place... what a great achievement.

Henry on his last day of pre-school with his teacher helper Ms. Kim

Ready for a hair cut. I told him how about purple or red hair... he was like 'noooo' *lol*

Zoe's Swim Team and Graduation

Zoe started swimming in the swim team of the Belleville Highschool. She's with the cubbies :) (the beginner of the club). Three times a week she gets to practice and she got already her first ribbons (she was so super proud of it) and she enjoys it a lot... I got some videos too but I'll post them in another post:

puh, got my car back :). Happy Kids and super happy Mommy, got new break pads and rotors. The back was 90% worn and the front was still ok BUT the rotors were a bit bend and made the car wiggle every single time you'd hit the brakes. I got used to it but it was a very awesome treat to get it finally fixed (it wasn't a safety issue by the way - else I would've had it fixed already).

My handsome men:

Dustin's graduation... it was really cool! I'm so glad we all went and that we took the kids. It was quite an exciting evening...

Late night goofing around

Shopping with my duo

My super favorite breakfast of the diet... I almost eat it daily now since it's just so uummmm yummy (it's also Dustin's favorite breakfast recipe)

Birthday Party for Emma and Laura at Pump it up... the kids had a BLAST

Sushi time...

Frosty Boy time :)...

Dustin's Prom

Oh my, so sorry... time is speeding up now... not fair!!! Dustin is already out of school, Henry finally had his last day of pre-school yesterday and Zoe's last day of school will be next THU (June 16). And the events are not stopping... 

Here some pics from the photo shoot for the prom pictures. Dustin and his friend Dalton:

Some snack pictures *lol*...

 WHAAAAT? Last day of school already??? :(... it went by way too quick

 And some lunch pictures... I guess I love my food *lol*

 Oh I have to do this one again soon.

I'm still doing the 20 20 diet. I just like how I feel, how it slims me down *lol* (nice side effect) and I feel full and great. 

Eating Healthy

Alright, the leaves are coming in and the flowers start blooming and our rabbit family is back in business!!! No veggie garden for me this year because I don't like sharing my veggies with the squirrel and the rabbits!

One morning we saw these two rabbits munching away in our yard. (One is under the bush)

FR my neighbor Delores invited me and a friend of hers over for lunch because she met a german Lady at a birthday party and she wanted me to meet her. It was a fun lunch and I made this yummi 'Weincreme Torte' for desert. The German Lady didn't like the 'coffee and cake sessions' in Germany and that was the first thing she got rid of when she moved here 20 years ago. Alright then, but I love it and she ate my cake :).

A fun afternoon with my munchkins at the Greenfield Village, we had so much fun... really enjoy hanging out with these two way to fast growing kids of ours

This one made me crack up so much... hahaha...

My 'diet' is going very well... the whole reason of eating healthy and maybe loosing a couple of inches is now totally a side effect for me. I have soooo much fun preparing my meals and choose different ones. I really look forward to my meal times... it's so much fun and the side effect of it being so healthy and doing something wonderful for my body is just so great. This snack was out of this world. I would've never thought of this combination myself... sometimes you just have to get some fresh ideas again to spice up your life :)... I totally am hooked on this diet and love every bite of it :)

This was my lunch today with shrimp, eggplant, red peppers, brown rice, mushrooms... OMG... and my dinner last night was... oh man... I actually think Frank might've liked that dinner...

I ordered a book with 85 recipes that are within the guidelines of the '20 20 diet' and I'm super thrilled to start trying those out as well but I still have a ton of recipes to explore alone on my app :). So I won't get bored for a while. I guess I found my new hobby :)... hihihi...
