Apple Sandwich
Sliced apples with peanut butter, raisins and granola for breakfast. This was so yummy and surprisingly filling! 
Bing Cherry Protein Smoothie
Bing cherry low calorie energy drink, frozen strawberries, protein powder. I think Aaron will like it but I'm not a cherry fan. I'd rather have a red bull smoothie. :) 
Sharks!!!
Brooklyn and I worked on some swimming safety today. She doesn't wanna learn to swim but she will let me hold her while she moves her arms and legs and tries to float so the sharks can't get her. haha!

Pool Day
Went to the pool with Danielle, Thomas and Jazmin today. Brooklyn was so excited and had a blast. She has no interest in learning to swim...I hope she does by next summer. I'm thinking about swim lessons. I just want her to not panic and at least learn to float. We will see though. 
Sunflower Chokes
Saw these weird things and found a recipe for them. They're kinda cooked like a potato. I shredded them and sautéed them with mushrooms, onion, garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano, olive oil, salt and pepper. Different, but good. We had it with salmon. Yuck-I just can't hardly stand fish but am trying to eat more of it. Any ideas for covering the fishy taste? I use lemon and garlic...any suggestions???
Grocery store LeARniNg
Brooklyn loves to help at the grocery store. We talked about the differences between limes and lemons, and she learned what ginger root and asparagus are. She likes to help put things on the belt too. 
I don't like protein shakes.
I need to drink protein shakes every few days and I just don't like them! I decided to make a protein ice cream instead. Vanilla yogurt, frozen pineapple, a dash of skim milk, one scoop protein powder and some walnuts. It turned out really good! Maybe calling it ice cream makes me feel better! If you add strawberries it tastes a lot like Bluebells "southern hospitality" ice cream.

Garbanzo bean burgers/pitas
I love these delicious, unique garbanzo bean burgers from JM recipes. I purée a can of garbanzo beans with 2 tbsp flour, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tbsp oregano. Make into patties and brown til slightly crisp in olive oil skillet. Sauce is amazing!!!! Made with plain Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup parsley, 1tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp sesame seed paste (tahini). Put patties in pita bread with sauce. If you like any kind of bean burrito, you will love this healthy alternative!

Cookies!
Making our regular free cookie stop at Walmart bakery while getting groceries today. It's a nice 3 minute distraction for her...haha!
2nd vehicle
We've had one vehicle for about 4 months and managed well but we know when I am working again and Aaron is in school/clinicals/taking BK to preschool, etc...we will need another one. Luckily, my mom found this jeep. It was a huge blessing and exactly what we need! These are pics she sent. We haven't seen it in person but if my mom says its nice and "fancy" then it most likely is. ;)
Our new home!!!-as of July 2012
We found the perfect duplex! Can't wait to get moved to Fort Smith! We are so excited to be downsizing and saving money. We love our tiny new place. As Brooklyn would say, "It's just our size!"
