Too sweet!

Last night, I had the McDaniels over for dinner and FHE. It was a blast! Adrian is out of town so I thought it would be fun to share the evening with some family. First, we had Hearty chicken noodle soup, Red Lobster biscuits (yes, I made them and they were fabulous), and a spinach raspberry dressing salad. Yum! Let me just say, I was so glad I had some cheddar cheese to make the biscuits. I had made some other rolls but I don't think I let them sit out long enough. Something wasn't right so I quickly made the other biscuits. Then we had FHE. Zach did a wonderful lesson on the armor of God, I shared a story and conducted, Tiffany and Catelyn prayed and Becca led the song. Then we had vanilla pudding and cookies and played Whonu. Overall, it was perfect. Thanks Tiff for sharing the evening with Eli and I. I think Eli and Catelyn had a lot of fun too. They were too cute and I had to take a few photos.

Make it Monday

This week for "Make it Monday," I decided to show off my knitting talent. Elijah's first birthday is coming up in July so I'm getting prepared. I made a cute banner with his name on it. Of course, his party will be red, blue and white (not because his birthday is a day after July 4th). The theme of his party will be teddy bears. I bought some bear plates, cups, etc and the colors were red, white and blue so that is the main reason for my color decision. Anyway, I had to make a total of 12 triangles since I had to make two per letter. Then I learned how to do a basic single crochet stitch for the letters and poof...done. It did take me awhile. But, it is finally done.

Since I'm throwing my friend Melissa a baby shower this weekend, I'm in the process of making another banner. I'm only doing eight this time to spell out BABY. I'll show you pictures of the shower next week. Let me know what you think. I love to read your comments! Till next time...

Eli loves the Aquarium!!!

Off to some fun places...

While my parents were in town, we went to some fun places such as In n' out, the church museum, BYU, a soccer game and the Living Aquarium (which I bought a season pass). Eli loved the Aquarium so we will be going back often. Wahoo! We also went to Zupas and Sub Zero (icecream place). Yum! Now, I'm off to Tales for Tots with my parents. Oh, the places we will go...

My cute little boy...

Workout Wednesday

Today, I worked out to The Firm pump pump n' jab. This was more of my style. I love cardio kickboxing and this DVD was exactly what I needed. I wasn't able to finish because Eli wanted my attention so I'm going to renew it and try it again. This DVD is 45 minutes long.

 "The Firm Master instructor Kelsie Daniels guides you as you kick-start your metabolism and break through your weight loss plateaus! Condition and tone from head to toe with basic, yet intense kickboxing combined with body sculpting, all set to a high-energy beat-get ready to sweat!"

Overall, I really enjoyed doing The Firm. I just needed more time and a quiet baby. So, I definitely recommend this one in case you are following along. Does anyone have a favorite workout DVD?

Make it Monday

Well, this week I forgot to buy ingredients for "Make it Monday" so I made my Nut lace cookies again. Maybe I'll switch it up and make something other than treats next week since Adrian will be gone again. We shall see...In the meantime, don't you love this cute photo of Eli. He hasn't learned how to crawl yet but he is normally on his tummy.
