Hiking with my little bubby.......

...J wanted to go to camp for something going on and since we didn't have any big plans, J didn't stay home.
So O and I went on a hike this morning , then we went to the pool to swim at E's .
O kept jumping in over and over....the pool felt great, not too hot or too cold....I spent my time floating on a noodle, so relaxing....

Back at it.....

So I am back to hiking and it was great!
I went at 7 a.m. and it was 86, so I am going to have to go earlier as the morning  temps rise.....  

Back from IL, loved seeing everyone and the surprise party was a success!!  E and I went to Stockholm Inn and had Swedish pancakes twice!!   Yummmmy!

Went with brother Mark and Eileen to Rockford City Market on the river, very nice and good times!   Love to spend time with my siblings!!!!  Prairie House Brewery for dinner.....

Missed all 3 of my boys... but got to see a lot of family and friends of my folks that I haven't seen in a long time!!

Drive by the first home I lived in as a child and took a pic....  we decorated the hall where we had the party!  

Summertime is here temp wise.....

Hello hello!!

I am down 7 pounds!!   Woo hoo!!   Had my physical today, will be getting my first mammo.....I never did get a baseline mammogram at age 35 because I believe I was pregnant or closely postpartum.....

My bp is good, my cholesterol is good and I am only at the beginning of my weight loss journey!  I have been feeling run down, I specifically asked to have by thyroid checked, this was great. But my iron is low, so more labs were ordered to get a full picture before treatment recommendations.   We are into the third week of summer vacay for the boys and have some fun Wednesday plans!!

Here are some recent pics

The boys were given a summer reading challenge from me.    J is to read the first 4 Harry Potter books and O needs to read 10 chapter books at his level.   If they meet their goal by the end of the summer, they will earn  a great prize!! Go Boys!!!
