I LOVE the black and white one on Facebook. I wish I could take pictures like that.

And yea, when did he not become a little sweetly pudgy 5 year old?

He may be growing up but you sure should be proud. I just know he's going to be such a great young man with a mommy like you!

Mine keep growing and growing, too, despite my many orders to stop it! I just sent the eldest daughter to a semi-formal with a boy last night...

So I feel ya. :-)

Omigosh and look at his form throwing, too. You're doing a great job, Mama! (and I'd be weepy, too....)

Yeah, it's making you cry 'cause you can see the man he's gonna be in too short of time...

I know exactly how you feel.

Great shot, though. Love it. The future Mr. Libbey Litton as an all-star!

They do grow up too fast. At a graduation service today, all the graduates' parents assured me that I'll be watching mine graduate sooner than I can believe.

Oh my. Apparently we were channeling each other when writing our latest blog posts. My baby isn't near as big as yours, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to blink, and he'll be out there, playing a game with the same determination on his face. Sniff Sniff.

Urgh. This wkend, my girls were laying on their stomachs, playing a game. I shed a tear looking at them, as I noticed how long their legs are, how big their feet have gotten. And don't get me started on the baby boy. Sigh

I can totally understand why you would tear up. He looks like a grown up, playing 1st string for the Yankees or something. Too sweet. And his face, yep, clicked and saw it.

Aw, poor girl. I know just how you feel. If you go to my blog and go to the second post down, you'll see my almost 12-year-old in a bathing suit, and THAT made me nearly tear up. The hormones are raging, the boobs are sprouting, and next will be the dreaded Aunt Flo. Somebody help me!

Love his facial expression in the photo. Very determined. I can't believe my 2 year old will be grown up someday. So sad.

I loved it when one son was a pitcher. You can tell so much about what kind of person they are by how they handle themselves: some cry, some get mad, some are stoic! I can understand why you want to cry!

Always Eat After 7: Science

Image
This post is brought to you by our sponsor ,  “ Always Eat After 7 PM ”.  The opinions expressed below are my own. Oh science! I am such a nerd when it comes to data. I love that   “ Always Eat After 7 PM ”  has plenty of it. Understanding how your metabolism works and interacts, not only with the foods we eat, but the times we eat them is so cool. Joel has done the research and really explains ALL the factors that contribute to weight loss (or gain), hormones, metabolism, etc. The data behind eating breakfast, food portion and size, etc is so interesting. Metabolic rates don't slow down during the night? What?? This video is super helpful to understanding the science behind the book. We've been told so much conflicting info on how to eat, when to eat and what to eat. Joel breaks it all down in his comprehensive and easy to understand book. This post is brought to you by our sponsor ,  “ Always Eat After 7 PM ”.  The opinions expressed below are my own.

Always Eat After 7PM- Yay or Nay?

Image
This post is brought to you by our sponsor ,  “ Always Eat After 7 PM ”.  The opinions expressed below are my own. Following Joel's eating plan and tips has been relatively easy. As someone who wasn't much of a breakfast eater before, transitioning my eating to later in the day was totally doable. One of the things I appreciate most about  “ Always Eat After 7 PM ” i s the freedom the plan provides in terms of food choices. I never feel deprived. Its also nice to be able to eat a full dinner with my family and truly enjoying it. Joel includes a great mix of personal experience, motivational talk (you can definitely see why he is a successful personal trainer!) and recipes. For me the recipes are key in my success on any diet or food plan because I'm not a natural chef. I can't just throw some items together and come up with dinner. Haha. So having recipes to follow- especially in the beginning was so important. The other benefit was that I could make dinner for the

True Blood- I'm a Sucker for It.

Image
Get it? My clever play on words. I'm a "sucker". As in "blood Sucker". I crack myself up. My obsession started last season. I could only dream of it during the summer, as we had no HBO at the summer place. I came back home and watched 4 episodes in one day. Heaven. Bliss. Eric. I am obsessed with True Blood. And, completely and totally devoted to Eric. For those of you not watching True Blood {and living incomplete lives}, Eric is the bad boy version of a vampire. He's tall. He's blonde. He's immortal. He's smokin' hot. He's a "sheriff". {And you know how I like a man in "enforcement".} Sigh. So how about you? What's on your mind these days?
