This was Jack's first real snow experience. He loved it! Keegan had walked over to Randy & Jill's house to sled so I don't have pics of him, but they had a great time as well. It was beautiful and GONE in a few days; just the way we like it!

Spring?
I don't know what's going on.... global warming? (Don't tell Jerry I said that!) We had snow on the ground last week, but today it was 70 degrees. Not that I'm complaining! We got to take Jack to the park on Saturday for a LONG time in a long-sleeved t-shirt and he's been wearing shorts this week. Shorts in February. I am NOT wearing shorts in February because my legs are incredibly white and I'm not interested in using self-tanner in FEBRUARY!
A few weeks ago Randy & Jill invited Mom and me to train for a 5k this spring. We are going to participate in the Oak Island 5k/10k (10k for Randy & Jill) on April 18. I've never been in training for an event like this before, so it's exciting. My goals are modest; to train faithfully and complete my 3.1 miles in 45 minutes. Doesn't sound too bad, does it? So far, I can go about 2.3 miles in 45 minutes, so it seems very feasible. I'll post my progress as I go along. It's certainly helping me stay on task with my diet and I'm cooking a whole lot more.
I'll share a somewhat healthy (well, healthier than regular) recipe that I've made with great success as a treat around here lately.
Dr. Pepper Chocolate Muffins
1 chocolate cake mix (I just use store brand)
1 12-ounce can Diet Dr. Pepper
Mix together well and divide evenly into muffin tin (I use the larger size muffin tin) and bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.
Jerry, Keegan and Jack LOVE these. Without the oil, eggs and frosting, they are only about 120 calories each and very, very tasty.
