soon summer ends

Summer ends so soon! It makes me so sad. Here's what we've been up to lately:

Chelsea finished up anatomy...and got an A in the class! James finished up anatomy (his job working at the school)...and wraps his cadaver on Tuesday! 

The weather has been raining/monsooning some days...and been bright, sunny & 108 most days. We've enjoyed thunder storms, loved watching the lightning, & admired the beauty of Arizona sunsets. Check out the PURPLE sky & the pink/purple sunset.

James & Chels 
went to Wet n Wild
Water Park for FHE
with Than & Ixchel.

Mammoth Falls

Scary & Fun! Makes your stomach drop

Raging River

I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard...so much splashing!

After Wet n Wild we ate dinner at Thee Pitts Again BBQ restaurant from the Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives tv show on the food network. 

Love this place! Read here for the first time we went there & ate a fried twinkie! 

Chels has had ENOUGH of carbs, fatty foods, and eating unhealthy. 

Our grocery shopping list this week: chicken, steak, fish, peaches, plums, pears, strawberries, bananas, pineapple, kiwis, apples, watermelon, grapes,broccoli,zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, spinach, onions, celery,  & birdseye steamfresh asian medley veggies. 

For the past few days I've been eating completely healthy. It's been great. We tried this awesome recipe & it was delicious.

Last Night for Date Night we went to Chili's to celebrate the ending of my anatomy class & for doing so well in an accelerated summer class.

 No cajun chicken pasta for me this time. Nope I definitely had the Margarita Grilled Chicken & James had the Steak. It was perfect because we could still do the 2 for $20 deal, but we chose the "lighter choice" menu items. It was DELICIOUS & I was so full afterward. The meal was 590 calories total with chicken, black beans, rice, tortilla strips & pico de gallo. So happy with my healthy choice :)

While we were there we ran into our friends Luke & Jenna & baby Eliza. They were there celebrating their weight loss goals (met). Wahoo congrats Luke & Jenna! 

After dinner we went to Super Saver Cinemas & saw the movie People Like Us. It's based on true events & we really liked the movie. We recommend redboxing it for sure.

I also had a candy bar for dessert...York Peppermint Pattie

60 calories each in the 8 pack or

140 calories in normal size.

I am so excited to keep eating healthy foods & exercising on a regular basis. We have some fun plans coming up in the next couple weeks so stay posted for those awesome updates! 

Happy Summer Yall!

P.S. Happy July birthdays to my sibs-in-law Danielle, Holly, Preston, & Marissa! Also a Happy Birthday to Grandma Keel on August 2nd! We love yall!
