Let's Swim!

The calendar might not say it's summer, but it's summer in Texas. I busted out one of our baby pools this weekend to let the kids play. It was Drew's first time 'swimming'. She has 4 bathing suits while I have zero. {Not that I want to get into a bathing suit with this post-partum body!}

Modeling her suit. I wish they made this in my size. Ha!

 She is so enamored with Trent. I love it!

T refused to wear his swim suit.

She may love her bathtub...but she wasn't crazy about the pool.

T refused to get in. Sigh.

We've also started swim lessons with Trent. He told me before we went that he was 'nervous'. So precious. But you never would have known the way he took to his instructor and their activities. He had a blast and was sad when it was time to go. I'm excited to see where he goes and the skills he'll learn before summer is over.

What almost 4 year-old doesn't need flippers?

And a tube to play in {And duh his is green!}

Love this kid

Can you see him adjusting his goggles? So cute!

I foresee a lot of pool time in our future. Even though he was in the water for barely a half hour, he went right to sleep that night!

The Beginnings of a Plan...

I have a long post in my head about food and how I WANT to be eating. I am making so many changes in my/our life to overall be healthier and treat our bodies better - from toothpaste to shampoo to detergent, from vitamins and supplements... You get the picture. Where I am failing miserably is probably the most important part - my diet! But it's very hard and overwhelming to try and make a complete 180, so I've decided to take some baby steps, and I want to blog about it, so I'll be accountable! 

My long-term goal (and eventually I want to write my post to explain WHY I want to do all this) is to be eating very little processed food, having fast food and Starbucks be a RARE treat, eating all non-GMO foods (as best I can), eating as much organic as possible and lots more fruits and veggies than I currently eat.

So...for the rest of June, I have the following goals:

1. No fast food for the rest of the month...okay maybe one time. {grin} Make smart choices when eating out.
2. No more than 2 chai lattes/week.
3. Cook dinner 2 times/week every week. {So pathetic that this is a goal.}
4. Eat 2 fruits and 1 vegetable every day. {Going to grow from here! And again...pathetic.}
