getting healthy woes.

Kerry recently found out that his cholesterol is high. The doctor recommended he go on medication feeling that his lifestyle probably didn't contribute to the high numbers. Taking medicine each day seems kinda scary to us so that pretty much leaves us at eating better and exercising more. We've been eating more fish which Shelby is still convinced is going to kill her and more vegetarian dishes. I never realized how much cholesterol is in my cooking! No wonder Kerry has a cholesterol problem. My kids like to eat my chicken parmesan. Tonight I decided to make it just the same but instead of using chicken, I used eggplant. I knew that if I told them what I was making, they would not even try it so I told them it was chicken parmesan. I was hopeful that I could pull this off. Plated up the dishes and Shelby dug right in. Brayden took one bite and asked if I added giant mushrooms to it. I assured him there were no giant mushrooms. Shelby then answered, "Brayden, it's chicken." Brayden didn't buy it. I finally admitted it was eggplant. I figured at this point it was going to be hard to get Brayden to eat it, but I hoped that Shelby had eaten enough to decide that it was still good. The moment she found out, she did not take another bite. It instantly turned into something gross. Why does the bad stuff have to taste so good?

Rainbows and more

Took this picture a few weeks ago on a Sunday morning. Think this is the most beautiful rainbow I've seen here. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Had my sister's kids over this afternoon. Took a few pictures.
