Labor Day Weekend and Things.....

We had a good holiday weekend. No big plans. But we did get invited to Charles and Ann Porters (My JoJo's in-laws) Sunday night for dinner. They live not very far from Nonnie, so we stop by for a visit. She was in the dining hall when we got there and was finishing up. So Michael pushed her back to her room. Kayden was so sweet he held her hand all the way just smiling. What a picture that would have made. But no camera. I think it made her day because she just smiled too and said over and over "how pretty he is." That is one image that will stay in my heart. My 88 year old Nonnie and my sweat 3 year old hand in hand.

We always have a great time at the Porters. With everyone around and Kayden having fun with Jonas, their house is always full of warmth and love. It has become such a comfortable place to be. There is always great food, lots of laughs and always lots of teasing me! It truly is a blessing that they include us because we think of them as such a big part of our family. And Michael was in rare form telling his crazy stories, I need to start a quote of the day from. Some can be a bit unclean. But they are too funny not to share.

We spent Labor Day at the park. We had a great picnic lunch and Kayden loved playing and feeding the ducks. The ducks took me back to when I was little and my Daddy would take me to Bear Creek park. It is fun to see your own child do things that you so loved doing. While we were having lunch Kayden would say "Mom that is so ahh-icious," it was very cute. :-) Just wish is was a bit cooler!

Since the 4th, I have been doing good. I don't think I ate that bad over the holiday. I tried very hard to eat better. Today my mom brought over Sonic for lunch. Tea, Tots, and a foot long chili cheese dog. I kindly said, thanks but no thanks! I was very proud of myself since it is my fave. I am looking forward to cooking dinner. Corn Chowder, Cranberry Pecan Salad. Never made it before. I have also worked out twice this week!!

This weeks goal: No Sweet Tea, Be under 150 and Work out 4 times.... I can do this.
