divinity

let me start off with this picture here...even though this divine food touched my lips at the end of the day...i thought it'd be a great way to start this post off :)

recipe for this heavenly breakfast treat found right here be prepared. you just might melt on the spot from the pure goodness of it all. i'm glad i didn't make them myself or else i'd know what was in the them and then i'm not sure i'd enjoy them quite as much..gotta give credit to my sweet hubby! as you can see we're on a pioneer woman baking spree. trying out a couple of her dinner recipes next week. is it kinda sad that i actually enjoy grocery shopping now? between rachel ray, pioneer woman, and having it be a saturday afternoon post-nap family affair...well let's just say we make a big to do about it, fun times. pretty sure the grocery store might be on caleb's top five favorite places to go.

so since it is kind of obvious we've been indulging in a few um..not totally healthy treats we took a nice long walk this morning to help balance all those extra pounds out. haha. not sure it made an inch of a difference but it was nice to have a good long walk as a family. usually caleb's on his bike and lucas is in the ergo on our family walks so this was great cause both boys sat happily for almost an hour as we walked to the downtown goodwill store (i think it is called hazels?) and mama got herself a book to read :)

and then we just spent the day playing. lots of backyard play. and i'll have to take a pic of the garden cause our (well...dave's) hard work is paying off. veggies are growing! and he had a lil helper today. in overalls handmade with love from grandma. they were so cute together working hard out there while i got to go on a run....and....wait for it....5 mile run in 50 minutes! never thought i'd see the day that i would run more than a mile...let alone 5 miles! wow. thanks to my running partner. we're a good motivational team i think. we push each other well and at the end i got a good gust of steam that took me flying to the 'pretend finish line'. hoping to do 6 miles next saturday. we ran two huge hills to boot. okay...i'm going to get off my high horse now...poor dave's been listening to me go on and on all day about what a great feel good run i had. but he's been pretty sweet about it. him and caleb are a good fan club. lucas too, he wiggles his toes and gives me big smiles whenever i come home. can i say it one more time? it felt pretty good running that 5 miles today!:) i'm done now...moving on....backyard pics.

playing and hanging out in the backyard this afternoon while dad made his special pasta delight, packed with some pretty scrumptious fresh seasonal veggies. maybe i can have him do a post about it with the recipe...:) i feel like i've been talking a lot about food lately?...hm....

caleb's really figured out how to ride his bike solo now (helmet was about to come on! don't worry dad). and please excuse the busting diaper! just try and focus on those cutie chunky thighs.

lucas seriously watches big brother all the time!

hanging with my lil guys.

yep...in case you're wondering..those are my 3 dollar super sale Adidas shorts! :)

and attack of mama's hair. they are all about it. and dave felt the need capture this lovely moment on camera.

and lastly. made these last night. yum. yum. yum. give your sweet tooth a treat, you won't regret it. trust me! recipe is right on over  here. thank you to pioneer woman. again.

and thanks to my hubby.

he's a keeper and i'm oh so glad he chose me :)
