Happy July 4th

Man, time flies by. It seems like forever since I have blogged. I just got done reading the girls a book and putting them to bed. I used to not have time or I used to think that work was more important than reading to the girls. BAD MISTAKE, if you are doing what I used to do-put work aside and MAKE THAT TIME to read to your kids at night. They are only little once. My girls love it.

Our trip to Tx was PERFECT. Thanks to Dave and Lisa for being amazing host. I felt like I was in a hotel being waited on all day. Talk about amazing Tx cooking-OMG it was the best. They can grill that's FORSURE. We did go to the PINK PENGUIN-frozen yogurt w/ a wall(I'm serious a full wall) of toppings. Izabella had cereal as her toppings, Rozalee and I split one that had 10 toppings on it. They both flew perfect-I was impressed and so were the flight attendants. All we did for 3 days was cardio, train and then lay by the pool. It was a great little get away. I didn't even take my computer-first time in about 7 yrs going somewhere w/out it. Izabella is already asking when we get to go on another trip.

We came home and went to a fireman's festival parade that Izabella got to ride on a float. It was the first parade I went to that they handed out beer and candy. We also had a great HOT 4th weekend. I hope you all had a great 4th w/ family and friends. We went to a parade and fireworks on Saturday. It was weird seeing everyone at church wearing red/white and blue. I love making holiday memories w/ the girls and Kenny. I know some people that spend holidays away from their kids and I just don't understand that. Try to spend as much time as you can w/ them because they WILL remember that when they grow up.

Rozalee had her 2nd birthday on the 5th, so we had a nice party here and the kids got to swim in the 90+ humid weather. She was a trip opening her presents. She takes after me when it comes to food. She had 3 pieces of cake:) Of course her big sister had to help her open up the presents.

Well now to the training. I was worried after all of the "fun outings" but I kept up my cardio and hard ass training and lost 2 pounds of fat and gained 2 pounds of muscle-so I am happy w/ that. I swear by the Parrillo Ice Kreem-I no longer have night cravings cause if I do I just eat some of that and I'm good to go till morning. I'm still eating clean and loving it. I'm not bored and best of all I'm not starving.

Till next time, have a great day and train hard
