Passports

Sawyer and I both got our passports in the mail last week! I decided to apply for them last month because I want to do some traveling. It's a little silly, but I am SO EXCITED about finally getting a passport. To most people, this means nothing. To me, it's a big deal for various reasons. Cliff already had a passport. As you can see from his picture, he has had his for a very long time! lol... He looks so young! Passports have changed a lot over the years because ours looks completely different than his.

Baby Weight

One year ago yesterday, I started on a weight loss journey. I had just stopped breastfeeding and decided it was finally time to reclaim my body. It took me a full year, but I finally did it! I am proud to say that I have lost all of my baby weight and then some. I am 12 pounds lighter than before pregnancy and more fit now at 38 than I ever was in my 20's! I am so proud of what I have accomplished! Total weight loss: 45 pounds!

I love cooking!

Dinner tonight was so delicious! I had an intense craving for bell peppers so I went to the Farmer's Market and bought yellow, orange, red, and green bell peppers. I only used orange and green in this dish along w/ asparagus, shrimp, onions, and garlic. Summer is my favorite season for veggies and fruit....just can't get enough!

Tar balls found at our beach!

Perfect beach weather today in South Florida! We decided to drive a bit farther today and spend the day at Delray Beach, a much bigger beach than our local one. Delray is about 10 miles from our house. The beach we usually go to is about 5. Here's the bad news. We discovered tar balls! :-( Cliff and I each had 1 stuck to our foot. I had a hell of a time washing it off!

Hair cut by Mom

I gave Sawyer a haircut today. It's not perfect, but I think it came out pretty good! Cliff says he has the same hairstyle as Dora the Explorer. hehe...

Box House

Cliff made this little clubhouse for Sawyer a couple months ago. So creative! lol... He even made room for Sawyer to stand up and look out the window.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all my wonderful Daddy friends! We spent our special day at the beach, our favorite thing to do! The beach is by far, the best thing about living in Florida! It makes us feel like we're on a permanent vacation.
