Chicken Spaghetti Night

Last night was chicken spaghetti! No. I did not cook. Don't get to excited. Ha! My sweet friend Felicia always calls me when she fixes chicken spaghetti because she knows how much I love her chicken spaghetti. And, last night was the night! It was yummy, of course, as always! But, most importantly...I got my playtime with Tobes! He is getting so big. Literally. He is a big boy! I just love his little smiling face. He laughed so much at all us silly adults making baby noises and crazy faces at him. Don't you wonder what babies really are thinking about how goofy we act around them?

The boys

Look at that adorable face! Why is it that I just want to pinch cute babies to death? Doesn't that sound violent?

The season premier of The Biggest Loser was last night, so we decided to forgo the dining room table. We set up TV trays instead! Wow! What a great season premier! The first challenge was a one-mile race for immunity which landed two contestants in the hospital. I know. Crazy! That was my motivation to get back out there and run/walk. I started tonight, by the way.

I certainly have a favorite already! After the first challenge ended, the contestants gathered together to share their stories. Abby began telling her story, which left me mouth open and teary eyed. In fact, we had to rewind it to make sure we heard correctly. Nearly three years ago Abby's husband, five year old daughter, and 2 1/2 week old baby were killed tragically in a car accident. Yet, her attitude is absolutely amazing! Yes, she wept while telling the story as did every other person there. But, she also said that she has to believe she is left here for a reason, and she wants to be the best person she can be. Even during the weigh in, her partner talked about how he was here because he wanted to live to be there for his wife and son. Then, Abby told everyone that she is not afraid of death. In fact, death would be the "easier option for me." She told everyone she is there for her...to improve herself and live the best life she can while here. What an inspiration! I mean...it made Jillian cry, which - if you watch the show - you know is HUGE! Definitely worth watching!
