Ok, Ok, enough people have asked that I guess I should add this to my post. I am going to lose weight the good old way. I am going to work out every day for about an hour (I am already REALLY sore) and watch what I eat. I am not cutting out all carbs, I am watching my portion sizes and trying to make healthy choices. For example instead of regular butter we use a low calorie butter. Instead of seconds on the spaghetti, a salad. Instead of 5-6 candies a day only one. See what I mean. So there you go.

Weight Loss?

Ok, I have put this off long enough, I am finally going to try to lose some weight. I know, I know....."you just had a baby" But that does not work for me, I dont fit ANY of my clothes and summer/swimsuits are coming, so I have to do something. I thought it would help motivate me if I had a support group, so here goes. My goal is to lose at least 35 lbs, if I can loose 40 lbs then I will be at the wieght I was when Bryan and I got married. I will keep everyone updated once a week. I have decided to only weigh myself once a week so that I do not get obsessive, you know kind of like a biggest looser style. Anyway, if you want to join in and compete a little feel free, but for now I think all I need to do is post a picture of myself now (the before picture) then again next week. My weigh in day will be Wednesday mornings. So here is a picture of me at Trevor's birthday party (I know that was a few months ago, but I still look exactly the same....aka blah! but with shorter hair) please vote on the side and BE HONEST! It really will help motivate me!

Cousins!

We are so glad that Kim and Ken were able to come visit us. It was great to get the three cousins together. They were so cute. None of them look to much alike, but incase you can't tell: Abe is on the left, then Ashton, then Jace.

My Sweet Little Girl

Kaylee decided to get sick last night...well more like this morning (about 1:00 am). After the first throw up, I had tucked her back into bed and she said "don't worry Mom, I wont hold the babies tomorrow." And if that wasn't sweet enough, at around 6:00 am (after she started having a diarrhea problem with each time she threw up....which was about every 20 minutes through the night) she decided to try and clean up her accident by herself. When we asked her why she said "I knew you guys were tired and you needed to get some sleep, so I tried not to wake you up." I thought that was so nice that even though she was feeling miserable, she considered our feelings. I am lucky to have such a great daughter!

Sunday-Snowday

We got an ice storm yesterday, followed by rain, which froze about an inch of ice on the ground, then it snowed 5-6 inches this morning (and it is still snowing now!) So we got a call this morning letting us know that all church meetings were canceled today. The worst part is that we worked hard all day yesterday to get the house clean for company (boy am I glad I knew Kim was coming because my house would never have gotten clean otherwise!) But now the kids are home all day and we don't do work on Sunday, so we have had to improvise. After the kids played out in the snow, we made cookies to bring to our friends down the road. Bryan pulled Kaylee and Trevor on the sled and I pushed Nathan and Ashton in our big bike trailer stroller. It actually worked really well, and our friends were all shocked to see someone at their door in this kind of weather.

The Bath Dance

Ashton is a very active baby when he is happy. He LOVES taking baths and having a diaper change. When I put him in the tub he just cant hold still, he wiggles in every possible way. I gave him a bath last night and he started doing his bath dance. He danced for about five minutes and I was sad that I did not have my camera. I expected him to get worn out and stop any minute, but he just kept going, so I had Bryan get the camera, he did this bath dance for at least ten minutes, and would have gone longer, but I took him out of the tub. (and threw a huge fit)

Brrrr!

We bought snow sleds here last spring when Target put them on clearance and we had not gotten enough snow to really use them here, so we decided to haul them down to Utah with us when we went. We were so glad that we did because it snowed almost every day we were there. Most of the kids liked it. Nathan only went down twice, but everyone else had a blast.

Here are the rest of our fun shots...Enjoy!
