She's going to the Chapel.....

Another fun official moment in the family, Brian finally proposed to Ellyn!! He planned a big elaborate proposal in front of at least 60, sorry to say that Charlie and I couldn't make it, we were stuck at a track meet watching Cam do his thing! We got to see the video and hear the story, so we somewhat got to experience it!! So happy for them. They are getting married in Kyle, Texas at a location called Texas Old Town. Its really a sweet place with a fabulous outdoor alter thing, a little bridge that crosses over a tiny flowing river and then next door is a huge dance hall sort of thing with plenty of space for friends and family. Today starts the beginnings of the invitations that I will be making...ordered the girls dresses...Macy will be one of the bridesmaids and Bella is a flower girl! Cam is a groomsman...and Ross is the ring bearer...he is not thrilled. He wants to carry Sam and Sam can be the ring bearer and he can the the Sam carrier!!! Maybe we can talk big sister into this idea! We are so excited for them, but there is sooooo much work ahead of us (fun work). I pray over their relationship that they have as much joy and love that Charlie and I have found!!! Cheers and wedding Bliss!!

Spring Break is OVER!!!

So its finally over....I miss the kids, but the Foreman "Short Order" Grill is closed for business!!! Yeah!! We went to Fiesta Texas, The Alamo and got to experience San Antonio's Market!! We had a great time! Then Saturday all of us, except for Ross participated in family photos!!! So cute! Can't wait to see the end results. Sunday morning we were informed of Macy that she had lice, so most of Sunday and now Monday we are doing laundry. Bella and I also had lice, so that meant treating our heads...yuck! I am almost caught up to my back loads of laundry from the trip!!! Wow! So I will be doing laundry and cleaning. Expecting my in-laws in tomorrow...hummm, don't know how I am going to possibly get the house presentable, but I guess it will happen!

Eating Clean

Charlie and I have been eating clean for a month now. It has been quite an adventure. I am proud to say that Charlie has lost 20 lbs. and I have lost 11 lbs. I am really upset though b/c I want to lose as much as he has, but I guess any little pound is progress!!!
It takes total discipline, eating every two hours, drinking water constantly and preparing ahead of time. I have a fabulous husband who loves to cook, so I am lucky. Otherwise, I am sure that I would have already failed miserably.
In the eating clean spirit, I am making Sam is own clean baby food. It takes a day to put together food for the whole week, but I feel so good feeding him fresh produce and peace of mind with the knowledge of knowing exactly what he is eating!!! Yeah for me and yeah for Sam!!! I don't know if it is just my ego, but he seems to go for the clean food more than the processed baby food! Yeah for me again!!
