The Delay

Ok well, I have had two people ask me why I have had no other sessions on in a while and the reason is THE WEATHER!!! I have several clients waiting on this weather and it is just not working for us. Thursday I am suppose to have a shoot but I just looked and it is suppose to be a 70% chance of rain all day. Lets hope that it turns for the best. We love to hang out outside but it thunders all evening but we still sat out for a little while today to let the little guy play.

Jalking

This is what I call my new exercise. I have been trying to exercise for 30 mins a day three days a week. At first it was jogging and now it has become jalking (1/2 walking, 1/2 jogging) and I really should just admit that it is now just speed walking. Although I have to say, I am SPEED walking. Like arms moving, people pointing a laughing, buns clinched together, SPEED walking. So anyways, my first day walking I had a car of "Hoodlums" pull up next to me and say stuff, luckily I had my ipod on so I couldn't hear them, but it scared me. So the next day I walk with this:

Is that a bit much?? I mean seriously, Chris and I couldn't help but laugh because really what would I do with those knifes. They might prick a finger but that would be it. Oh and not to mention my "jogging" shorts don't have pockets in them so my pants kept falling.
Fun Times!!!

Men in my life

There isn't any thing that I love more that time with my husband and my son. The only thing I would like better is if I would get to be in some of the pictures. Is it sad that I do not have one picture of me and my son that is a good picture. I mean I have some on my phone and a few of us doing stuff but I dont have a single good picture of the two or three of us. (Hint to my husband, my birthday is coming up) So we will see if he reads my blog, anyways to continue on with the tradition that there are only pictures of the two boys here are some we took this weekend.

High Fructose what??

I have never really worried about what I eat other than the calories and fat grams, ingredients never really have bothered me. I guess it would bother me if I would actually READ the ingredients but I never do, that was until now. I have always wanted my son, Christopher, to live a healthy life from the start. I really have worked hard on this. Well I thought I was good until TODAY!!!

Ok so we are going to start with BREAD, I changed to Honey Wheat, to be healthy. So today for fun I looked at the ingredients:


Then I was curious about everything else so I looked at the crackers I always give my son. Ritz whole wheat, because as we all know whole wheat is suppose to be good. Then I see this:
Ritz Crackers, Whole Wheat, 70 calories per serving, 1 Weight Watcher point.

Ingredients: ENRICHED FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE [VITAMIN B1], RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN B2], FOLIC ACID), WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT FLOUR, SOYBEAN OIL, SUGAR, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED COTTONSEED OIL, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, LEAVENING (CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, BAKING SODA), SALT, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER).

Holy Cow, now what, so I check out some of Christopher gerber food and what do you know:
Ok can't find the facts on these but I am looking at them right now and most of them have high fructose corn syrup!!!

What the heck???? If I eat white bread I will die of a heart attack, if I eat wheat I will die of diabetes and if I eat high fructose free I will die of a tasteless life. What the heck do I do parents?????

So I googled highfructose corn syrup and found this wonderful picture:

New outlook on blogging

I heard a story from my Dad once about a women in our church who was having a bad day. She started questioning God about why her life was the way it was and wondered where He was. She was pumping her gas with these thoughts in her head and went to go pay the cashier. On her way there another women stopped her and gave her a hug and said "God told me to tell you that is from him."
There have been many times when I feel the urge to smile at someone or say hello or just make converstation with them. What if by doing those things I am doing something for their life. Just a thought!!

Today was our friend's first birthday, I haven't gotten to editing the pictures but here is one of little Jacob. Happy Birthday Jacob.

Do you ever have an urge to talk to someone you dont know??
