hubby is on a yeast-free diet and we're

and i love our peaches! we've been eating
lots of meat and veggies and salads.
it's working! he feels better and lost 5lbs last week!
i'm happily gaining and feel healthy.

i just love going outside and soaking it up.

yesterday and finding two van loads
of stuff in the rain!
and we never find anything.

toys and being so happy.

seriously!!! it's the easiest yummiest thing

prepare anything. just the grill! and it's soooo
cheap to0!

i look forward to getting to know them better.

it was really cute. my hubby and i would
rate it somewhere around cars-walle. but
not as great as toy story when it comes to
pixar's movies.

3. getting our car cleaned out.
omgoodness. let me tell you. that was
NOT a pretty sight. how do two children
make it sooo disgusting? i'm glad we have leather
for easy wipe-off but they still stain that, wear it down, and
get stuff permanently stuck to it. not to mention the carpet!

and his girlfriend, amy. we had so much fun! i think i'm
hooked on card games again as of last night. i went out and

we bought today. love it!

like a recovering addict. and it all came back
when i saw the new game coming out. gonna
have to get it!

9. being happily surprised to find out i
over estimated for our electric, gas, and water
bills for our new house. this is awesome!
i don't even mind not having a/c. i love it!
(don't quote me on that on hot summer days)
but i grew up like this and feel right at home.

10. finally seeing a small belly when i wake up
in the morning. don't love the overstretched food
belly that comes with it as soon as i eat but the
real belly is finally there! i'll have to have my hubby
start taking pictures.
