Things are going well around our house y'all! We have been working on not eating out except once on the weekend and the rest of the time we cook at home and take our lunches. This has been going very well and saves us A LOT of money y'all! We are eating a lot of fruits and more veggies. This goes for Big B too! He is turning into quite the fruit lover! I am VERY happy to report I am 6 1/2 months SODA FREE!!!!!!! That is HUGE for me and I hope to keep it up for a long time!!!
We have officially listed our house with a realtor so if y'all could send all the good vibes you can our way to get this house sold and help us find a bigger place that would be wonderful!!!!!!!!!
We took Big B to his first rodeo on Saturday night and he LOVED it! It was the Dallas County Fair Rodeo and I wasn't sure what to expect for B's first time. It is a long time for a 2 year old to sit there. Some things at a rodeo are very exciting and then other things aren't so much for a little boy.
The first thing they did was have the bucking horses and B loved it! If you know our son, you know he is a very concerned little boy! He is always worried about someone getting hurt. So when the first cowboy got bucked off the horse, he yells "Careful horsey, careful cowboy!" Then he cheers his little heart out! It was the cutest thing every y'all!
He sat there most of the night really well and watched all the horses and bulls. He got a little restless at times but that is to be expected. It was a little warm there too but he didn't complain one bit! Our little guy LOVES to be outside so he was in heaven!
He will be in for a real treat in a couple weeks when we take him to the Dallas County Fair and he gets to see all the animals and they have an Extreme Bull Riding night. I can't wait for him to get to watch that too! Speaking of The Dallas County Fair y'all, if you enjoy taking pictures or quilting and want to show off your work, you should take your hard work to the fair! It is all free and fun for all ages! I am going to be taking some photography this year. As soon as we get our house sold and I have more room to work on my quilt, I will be taking on that! If you are interested in taking any projects to the open classes at the fair please email Sherry James at franknsherry@msn.com
I have decided to try my hand at some of the food classes at the Iowa State Fair this year. I have never done anything like this before and I am SUPER excited about it this year. I am going to take some of the salsa we canned last summer, some chocolate chip & cocoanut banana bread and my Grandma's "World Famous" Potato Salad! The hubs is excited because I will be working on perfecting these recipes over the next month or so and that means he will be the official taste tester! I am not expecting anything but to enter and have fun learning more for next year. I am trying to get in a class called the Mystery Sack. From what I can tell it is like the show Chopped on the Food Network. You pick three seasonings you want to take with you and the rest is provided for you to cook with! Sounds exciting y'all! They only allow 6 people in and I am on the waiting list as of right now! Fingers crossed...................
I can't believe how fast the summer is going already! It won't be long and I will be leaving my boys for a full week to go on RAGBRAI. Oh don't remind me...........that is a LONG time to be away but I can do it.........RIGHT!?!?!?!?
Don't forget to stop by Breakfast Delights and get some great food if you are riding this year by the way!! Or as always, we are at the end of Court Ave every Saturday for Downtown Farmer's Market!
Thanks for reading y'all!

Filling you in!
Since I was on a hiatus for a little bit I thought I would fill y'all in on some of things we did while I was away!
We took Big B to see Sesame Street Live and he was SO excited to see Elmo! As y'all know he LOVES Elmo! He almost made it through the whole thing before he fell asleep. I thought the whole thing was very cute and I can't wait to take him to more things like this!
We also decided to try a restaurant here in town called Twin Peaks. If you have never been to this place before, you should know a little bit of information ahead of time.
Now, I for one am not offended at all by restaurants like this! I used to love to eat at Hooters when it was open in our area. It has closed in the last year and I am not totally sad as I think BWW has better wings. But, I feel that if you have a nice body and you are comfortable in the way you look, than by all means please flaunt it! But Twin Peaks, I feel, pushes this to the VERY limits.
So back to the eating experience. We decided that we were going to go there because I wanted to try the food and lets be honest the hubs wasn't going to object y'all! I am always up for new things and we all know I am a foody! We walk in the door and I thought we just walked into the Bunny Ranch! Now to be fair it was Easter weekend so they might have just had rabbit ears on for that purpose. But, there wasn't much for clothing on and I am sure my face had to tell them that! They had on a bra, underwear, and some thigh highs and that is about it y'all! The hostess did have on a cover over here bra so she was overdressed! I DO NOT JUDGE so we go on in for our lunch! Of course y'all know we have the cutest little boy ever (ok so I might be just a little byes) and all the scantly clad ladies come running over to my little boy like he is Vin Diesel on the set of Fast and Furious or something!
We get sat down and I look at the Hubs like I am not really sure I thought this through! Should I really have brought my 2 year old son here to eat!!! I am frantically looking around to see if there are any other kids under the age of 15 in this place! I see one and that was it! Please don't judge me y'all...............it really is a nice place to eat and those girls couldn't have taken better care of us!!!
The food was AMAZBALLS!! We both got the Phillie Steak sandwich a fries and Big B got some very good mac and cheese.
The funniest part of the meal was about half way through as we are enjoying our meal Big B looks at me and says "Look mommy underwears!" He was pointing at the girls walking by in their bra and underwear (uniform) and I just about lost it!!! He is the cutest thing ever y'all!!!
As we get ready to walk out the girl at the hostess stand ask Big B if she can have her picture taken with him because he is so cute!! Well of course!!! What 2 year old little boy wouldn't want his picture taken with a scantly clad hot chic!!!
The Hubs took Big B to see the firetruck and helicopter one Saturday while I was working at market. They have them down at market for EMS week every year! I am telling y'all if our son isn't a firefighter or policeman someday I will be shocked! (And I will be scared to death) He loves this stuff some much but I guess all little boys do! Here are a few pictures of him on the helicopter and fire truck. He still has to tell me almost everyday about how he drives the firetruck!
I guess that is all for now y'all! I started the 30 day ab challenge last night that is going on on Facebook. I am SO out of shape but we all have to start somewhere right! I am not proud of the fact that I keep starting all these things and don't finish them but it only takes one to get me going, right!
Thanks for readying y'all and have a great day!~
