Maverick turned 1 on April 11, 2018. This little guy is always stone cold to me - I can't get him to smile for nothing and usually the tears start running. I just haven't won him over yet. I honestly thought about growing a beard because they tell me he's such a man's baby.. BUT today I won!!!
I was prepared for no grandma pics and I wasn't going to allow him to cry on his birthday so I was going to stand back BUT I didn't have to ... He was all smiles when I got there and he even let me hold him.
Happy birthday Mav - Grandma Darla loves you!!!

My dad passed 21 yrs ago on the 8th of April & I remember it like yesterday. April 11th was the day we buried him and said goodbye - it took me 15 yrs after he passed to go back to his grave, but thanks to a good friend I was able to start visiting him about 6 yrs ago. I miss him dearly . The picture of him below laughing is an all time favorite. I can still hear him laughing...
Love you dad!!!
Yes, this picture is stupid and of my legs, but really I was taking it of my OOMPA LOOMPA that is diminishing daily !! OOMPA LOOMPA you ask ? Well I have a tummy that looks like a spare tire and when I first started working out - it moved up and down with the legs and I literally sang to my self OOMPA..OOMPA...OOMPADITY DO.. I HAVE A SONG JUST FOR YOU...
*LOL*
But last night I looked down & guess what I could see my legs more and less of the OOMPA LOOMPA !!! Pure Success in my book!!!
I saw this online and posted it on WW connect site. I thought it was hilarious as that is so me!! It was always - next Monday I meant *lol*
The thing I learned this week is yes WW really does work but you get out of it what you put into it. I slacked on tracking, I slacked on exercise which meant I slacked on accountability and it showed
I was still down 1 lb. and yes 1 lb is a lb but that is the least I've lost since I started ...
My next goal is 30 #'s and it is right around the corner - today I'm officially 26.8 lbs today.. and I want 30!!!
Here's to a good week!!!
