Aunt Ra Ra took the best pictures of us on Saturday!! Here they are. Hope you enjoy.

Visiting With "The Grandmas"...

Yesterday, we got to visit with Ben's GiGi, Mimi, and Mamaw McClure. It was great! It is so special to me that Ben has the opportunity to know his great great grandmother. I would have loves for Papaw McClure to be here for this, but I know he is watching over us! We love our wonderful family and wished we lived closer to see them more.

Swimming Pool and Sun Block...

Thanks to GiGi for the wonderful swimming pool and duckie float. Ben has so much fun in his cute pool! It combined his two favorite past times... being outside and getting in the "bath"!! I think he may have thought I was forgetting something when I got him out of the pool without shampooing his hair!!! Thanks again GiGi... it will be a "cool" summer!

"Say Daddy"...

Les wants Ben to say daddy so bad! This is what he does every night!!! I think it may be working! lol!

Life on a diet...

OK... so for those of you who care, I said I would keep you updated on the diet. Thus far I have lost 13 POUNDS!!! I am so glad to see my hard work is paying off! It is real hard to stick with a diet when you have a husband who can eat WHATEVER he wants and not gain an ounce! But I must say, Les is being very supportive. When I started my diet, I had a heart to heart with him. He has never had a weight problem so doesn't truely understand the "big deal" with losing weight. Whenever I used to "be on a diet" he would say, "why... you look good to me". Although that is very sweet, it is not very helpfull! lol! But this time is different. He tells me everyday how good I look and his favortie thing to say is, "you look like you have lost more weight from this morning!". I love him so much!
I have been allowing myself 20 grams of fat and 1000 cal a day. It has been easier than I thought it would be. For exercise, I have been cleaning house... which makes Les very happy... and painting my bedroom, bathroom and soon my livingroom. I have also been playing in my flower bed (which looks great). Once it stops raining, Ben and I will be walking in the afternoons.
Please continue to pray for me that I stay on my diet! lol! Thanks for the support!
