All in a day!

Today I am proud to say I did so much and got so much done! And my Brother gave me a hard time for taking pictures of all the food I made.  I was told 90% of my photos are probably of food and the other 10% of Ella, which is so untrue! But some days I do take way too many food pics.... like today!

{Bad Idea: Eating Eats before Running this Morning}

{My 90 mins of Running Cut Short to 45 Minutes....Eggs *AFTER* Running From NOW on!}

{My Sister Baby Sat For Me So I Mad Her and Daniel Smoked Salmon Veggie Sandwiches, Made Ella Pasta Salad, And Made Myself Carrot Celery Tomato Beet Green Juice}

Did A LOT of cooking for Lunch! 

{First Time Juicing!}

Used too much ginger a little too spicy! Tasted like a mix of v8 and Bloody Mary

It was .... okay If I ever make this again it would need Vodka and Olives and maybe a salted Rim!

Because I Had Such A Healthy Lunch and A Decent Workout I Didn't Feel Bad About

$1 TACO TUESDAY & $2 Sara Sara CupCakes! ! 

Mere and I ended up have Taco Tuesday Without The Boys We Had a Great Time Minus The Heat!

I had a bite of each then gave them away before I ate ALL of them!!!!  

June's Random iPhone Pics!

I feel like I take more pictures in a day than the average person takes in two weeks! I am trying to save more to my computer and delete them off my phone so I'm not sorting through 1,000 pics to show someone a picture of Ella I took last week! That's the awesome thing about iPhones they hold soo many pictures! Today as I was syncing my phone I realized how many post I could have done in the past two weeks with pictures I took, but since I failed to do so I am combining them in one big post!
So here are the photo's of things I've done the past 2-3 weeks!

{Taco Tuesday} 

The Wait was 2 hours! So we tailgated in the parking lot with $2 Tecates and Modelo's- Yikes!

Veggie Pizza Monday!

My brother is back in town this week aka my roomie.  So now I can go back to cooking dinners because I know that he won't let any of it go to waste!  That was one of the hardest things about living alone I never knew how to cook for one!  Daniel eats enough for two people so now it's never a problem! Living with Daniel and Ella allows me to make meals for 4 without left overs sitting in fridge only to be thrown out the following week.  Plus they have also gotten use to and enjoy eating fruit and veggies as 90% of our diet! Today I went to the store and bought lots of leafy greens and other veggies to juice with this week.  Tonight I made Veggie Pizza for our monday night Extreme Makeover Weight Loss show! We both love that show we agree that has to be the best job ever, helping people loss weight, get healthily,  and change their life!

Addison Grace

Six weeks ago the 2nd sweetest baby in the world was born, Addison Grace. My Brother Josh and and his wife Christen just had their first family photos taken.  Their family photos were so sweet I had to share.  I am so happy for my brother and his family!

BUSY BUSY BUSY!

::::::EDIT!!::::::
I wrote the post below early today on very little sleep can you tell? ha.
And I had an extreme busy day so Im not going to correct it.... Sleep is important!

Yesterday was Ella's Birthday and Tonight Is here party! I am trying to cool off right now because I walked my mail box that is maybe a 3 min walk and I feel like I am dying its that hot outside! I have been on the good all day! Just had lunch with one of my good friends now trying to work up the energy to head back out and buy stuff to make cupcakes and other goodies that kids these days are eating!
I had to post about her confusion yesterday when everyone was overly happy wishing her a happy birthday and I can't even count how many times we sang "Happy Birthday." I had to show her what girls do on their birthday so we went shopping at Penn Mall before Mommy had to work.  I tried getting a cute picture of her excited about being 1 on her actual birthday but she is teething again she I was just overly excited for the both of us!

1st BIRTHDAY!

Today is Ella Joy's First Birthday!!!! She is still sleeping but for the fist time possibly this year I am awake and up while she is STILL catching ZZzzzz's...  On a normal regular day I sleep in until she is ready to get up! Today is no normal day! I wish you knew how excited I was right now! I did not know until this morning how much Joy my daughters Birthday would bring me! I am one of those people who LOVE Birthdays! I love planning parties for my friends and family, but most of all I loved my own Birthday (Maybe because I am still in my 20's) the most .... until now! Today is so much BETTER than even my own birthday! I woke up today at 6:30am even with my post workout aches from a suicide run I had last night! I woke up with no alarm and JUMPED out of bed!!!! This NEVER happens! I have already took a shower and made my bed! I've tip toed into Ella's room with excitement but my sweet girl is still dreaming.  I am going to spoil her as much as possible today and then then tomorrow I can't wait to see how happy she is at her 1st Birthday Party Bash!  I never knew until I was one that being a Mom would be the BEST thing that has ever happened to me! I hope everyone (If I have ANY readers...ha!) Has a wonderful day!

HAPPY 1st Birthday Ella Joy!
