We are loving that the weather is getting so nice! We have gone for a couple walks, Asher and I have played on the swing set at our house, and we love just going outside and looking around. Asher is still getting use to how bright it gets outside since we keep the blinds closed inside (if we don't the neighbor kids come and look in the windows).
Asher thinks that it is pretty funny to pull himself up and stand and look at you to see what you say. He is now 7 months old and we keep thinking, wait, didn't he just turn 6 months old?! He loves the puppies a ton and loves when Mellie comes over and kisses his hand. Hopefully they will be best friends growing up. I know I loved having dogs growing up, Sadie was my best friend, I think dogs are some pretty special friends to have. We see our dogs as family and love them so much. I couldn't imagine ever giving them up.
Andrew and I are now on our 3rd week of doing T25 workouts and we can definitely tell there is a difference, they are still hard workouts but they are slowly getting easier. I'm trying really hard to prepare healthier snacks and dinners. One of the recipes we tried this past week I will put below. I can definitely feel a difference now that I'm back on Herbalife and having a healthier lifestyle. I have so much more energy now, which is saying a lot with how little sleep I've gotten since Asher started getting his two teeth in.

pan seared chicken breasts

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves about 5 ounces each
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tsp. dried tarragon

Season chicken breast halves with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan (or an other shallow pan with a lid) over medium-high heat until hot, then drizzle in olive oil. Place chicken breast halves in the hot pan and cook for 5 min. or until nicely browned on one side. turn the chicken breasts over. turn the heat down to medium-low, and add tarragon and orange juice. cover the pan and let the chicken cook just until cooked through-- about 10-15 min. depending on size of chicken pieces.

When the chicken is done, remove from pan, and turn the heat back up to high. cook and stir the pan juices for 1-2 min. to reduce the liquid down to a really small amount-- there should be just about enough to cover the bottom of the pan and it should look more like a glaze

turn the heat off and add the chicken in with the glaze, coat the chicken and then serve
