Recipe Night/Stroller Brigade/Weight lifting

Kali woke me up this morning, then laid right next to me and asked, "How was your time at Sara Duffin's house." It made me laugh so hard. See, last night we had recipe night at Sara's house and Kali REALLY wanted to go, but I told her she needed to go to bed, but if she was good and didn't cry when I left, then she could stay up and hang out with daddy for a while. When I got home, they had fallen asleep together, it was so cute:)

Recipe night was so much fun, as always. Thank you Angie, for showing us how to make those divine mint truffles, they are just so yummy!! You can try them too, the recipe will be on the skinnyjeansrecipeblog soon.



Today Hillary, Kim, Angie and I got up and strapped our kids into the strollers and headed out on a two hour excursion around Laie. We went up the small parking lot hill to the right of the temple, then headed over to Food Land for some air-conditioning and drinks, then up the hill to the point. We stopped and enjoyed the view for a little bit, then it was back to TVA. It was a blast, it is nice to get out and get some exercise and have some good friends to talk to in the process.

The day ended with Hillary and I working out at the gym. It felt so good to actually lift weights again!!! Thank you Derek for watching the kids and thank you Hillary for coming with me!
I AM BACK! I am ready to get in shape:)

Nothings better than dessert and a little exercise to work it off. I'm glad you guys had a fun recipe night. Thanks for always inviting me. I'll come one of these nights!

Seriously, girl you are in shape.. you're just helping the unshapely become a shape! Hopefully a nice looking shape too! ;D

Yes, this will have to continue... I'm sorry I'm throwing us off by leaving next week, but you bet we're pickin up RIGHT where we left off!

ANGIE is an angel for sharing her ways to heaven with us! I think I'm gonna make those a Christmas tradition. Some do cookies, fudge, breads... I'm doing mint truffles! AH! Since they're white and heavenly I'm going to call them ANGELS after Angie=ANGELa

those recipe nights look and sound fun. I wish I could go but I don't really know anyone but you and Hillary. Maybe when I have the courage to go one day but those mint truffles look so yummy! I love mint anything! and you are so in shape. I'd love to be fit like you!

Hey Shanae,
I just wanted to thank you for all the things you invite me to at TVA. I'm sorry that I haven't made it to any of them yet. But it really makes me feel (sounds cheesy) but special and loved when I hear from you so often. So, thanks a bunch!! Hopefully, one of these days when I am not feeling so sick and Jonathon is around to stay home with Eden I can make it. Untill then, thanks. Sometimes just knowing I am invited is the pick-me-up I need.
