Crappie

Ben and his brother went out fishing on Tuesday evening and caught some pretty good Crappies that they were super proud of!

Also got my garden in last weekend, along with my flowers planted (more pics to come in future posts I am sure)...planted some basil, cauliflower, broccoli, green peppers, tomatoes, strawberries (came back from last year), lettuce, cucumber and squash.  Hopefully my veggies will get better and better each year!!!

And look what I found today while momma bird was off the nest!!!  I figured those eggs had to be hatched by now!  Welcome Spring!!

In other news...week one of Insanity is down.  Yep, Shawn T has inspired me and I borrowed the discs from my brother and decided I was gonna try it.  I am hooked.  Because of my foot being so iffy anymore, I am just not sure about running and running was pretty much the only type of exercise I liked because I felt like I was actually accomplishing something.  With Insanity...I feel the same way.  It is getting rougher so I am hoping I can stick with it.  My goal was to get my BP down and I have been successful in just a week.  With the Advocare Cleanse and a good exercise regimen I am on my way!  My BP was 150's over upper 90's when I started.  Now it is averaging 130's over 80's.  Not bad. 
Gabi tried out for ICE (Indiana Cheer Elite) this past week also and we are still waiting to hear what team she made.  She is super duper excited.  She has decided that competitive cheer is her passion.  I'm sure there will be more to post on that as well.  Life is good right now.  Missing my boys with Mother's Day around the corner and was a little down on Friday (a year since Dad R went home), but other than that...things are good.  Not liking this cold spell today and tomorrow (high in the 50's) but the forecast shows better weather ahead.  Again, Happy Spring!
