Happy late birthday (very very late birthday) Carter and Holden! I have decided I am a horrible blogger, I totally failed posting about our vegetarian month, but hopefully I'll be able to get some fun summer pictures up. Here are pictures from the boys birthday party.

Carter got a new bike. He can't quite work it right, but he sure loves it!

My boys sure love ice cream!

They love cupcakes too...pretty much anything that makes a mess is their favorite food :)

More cake and messy faces!

Carter got a new basketball hoop from Grandma and Grandpa Farnsworth and both the boys love playing!

Carter's turning into a little reader. He absolutely love his cars book. One day he'll figure out which way to hold it

Vegetarian Month. Day One

So my husband decided last month that for the month of May we would go vegetarian. No meat for one month. That includes chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, fish etc. etc. I'll be honest, it's going to be a bit of a struggle for me. I am a meat girl. I love meat. I don't eat just meat, but I tend to eat a lot of it. Jeremy wants us to be healthier so I agreed to the challenge on one condition-Jeremy had to give up soda pop for the month as well. He probably drinks more soda pop than I eat meat. So we're both doing something really difficult. But our end goal will be to eat healthier. Now keep in mind we are not going vegan, just vegetarian so I can still enjoy milk and cheese as well as eggs. We decided we would blog about our vegetarian adventure and post pictures and recipes so everyone else can enjoy them too. We are excited about experimenting with new recipes and trying new vegetables so as hard as it will be to not eat meat, it will be an adventure!!


Today is Day One. For breakfast, I had two fried eggs and a piece of toast along with a tasty smoothie. I used plain yogurt, fresh strawberries, a whole orange, some milk and a little bit of sugar. It was pretty good.
