A New Thing!

Well now that I am a mom, I think about how many fruits and veggies that Christian is getting on a daily basis. When he was born I swore to myself that I would NOT be the mom that makes two meals at lunch and at dinner. I still have not done that, but maybe once or twice. He started off by eating lots of fruits and veggies and as he has gotten older I have had a hard time getting him to eat the veggies at dinner. Dr. Oz ( off the Oprah Show) says that it is perfectly normal for a child NOT to like his or her veggies. They tend to eat the fruits because they are sweet. Kids I guess have 3 times more taste buds than the average normal adult. Go fig! That is why I find myself telling Christian eat you green beans or eat your, whatever! So I was watching Oprah the other day, and she had Jessica Seinfeld on and she had this cook book out called "Deceptively Delicious!" It is full of the kids favorites. Such as Mac & Cheese, Chicken Nuggets...ect! Well they are not just the regular ingredients but they have veggies in them. Veggie Puree to be exact! What a GREAT idea! So that is what I am going to do while Christan is sleeping tomorrow making veggie puree! I am so excited about this. The food looks wonderful and healthy. I have been working out at least 4 days a week now and I have been giving myself a guilt trip if I don't go. I am seeing results already, and with this new way of cooking, maybe I will get the veggies in that I normally don't eat. I am all for trying something new you know!

Jory and I last Friday, took Christian to the ball game! Woo hoo, he did really well. I guess I should say that my parents took us to the game. We went with them! It was so much fun! Christian really liked Cracker Jacks! I just gave him the bag and he sat there eating them for like 4 or 5 endings. He danced and OOOOed and AHHHed for the fireworks and flirted with the gal behind us! What a ladies man! All in all it was fun for all!

We are off to the lake again this coming weekend. My parents are coming down with us. I am needing to get on the boat and have some fun in the sun! Can't wait!

So I guess that my Mom and Christan and I are going to go to North Carolina sometime in September to visit my Grandpa Bru. I guess that he can hardly wait till we come and see him. That will be my first time flying with Christian. I don't know how that will go. I am sure that it will be fine, My mom will be with me to help. Christian is pretty good so I won't have to worry about him pulling the emergency exit or anything!

So that is my boring life...I really don't have much going on, but I will post some pics of the lake trip when I get back from that.

Oh yeah and I had a GREAT time seeing my cousins, almost all of them on the Plaskett side yesterday! The only cousin that was missing was Angie! We sure missed her! It was great seeing Adrienne and Carly. I sure missed them! They are both in San Fran working and living a fun and exciting life! I think that they would argue with me about that, but to me it is exciting!

Anywho that is all if have for now!
