35 down and more to go......

So I thought it was time for a new picture of me. I added some pictures from before and then new ones from today. I have lost 35 pounds total now and am hoping lost more. I keep saying around 15 to 20 more but we shall see how it goes. I hate putting pictures up of me but for those of you who suggested it. Enjoy!

BEFORE

AFTER

Hailey really wanted to pose with me. Notice she is holding the nursery treat bucket. She thinks she is pretty cool when she gets to take the treats. This week she picked to take Dora crackers and coudln't sit deal during sacrament meeeting becuase she was so excited to take them to share with her "friends!"

Singing Songs!

Hailey was being so cute the other day trying to sing songs. She was trying to sing, "Teach me to Walk in the Light," however she couldn't fully figure out the words. SO I grabbed the camera and she has stage fright and freezes up. I kept prompting her to seei f I could get her to sing other songs. HOWEVER she made me help her sing. So I apologize that you hav eto listen to my horrid horrid voice but I had to share how cute she was singing so hopefully you can focus on her words not mine!

Back Yard Adventures!

So I found out about the best new play places. Backyard Adventures who does swing sets and such has several structures put together as well as blow up slides and such. They do birhtday parties and open play a few times a week. So we braved the snow today and decided to check it out. It was an awesome time! There is nothing like going to "indoor" park on a snowy cold winter day or a hot summer day! I am sure that we will be back soon. Just had to share a few fun pictures. I went a little nuts with teh camera. I am trying to learn to take better photos so sorry for so many!

Weekly Quote

"Try a little Harder to do a little Better."

In honor of President Hinckley's passing I am going to use this as my motto this week. This quote has always been one of my favorites so this week I am letting it be my inspiration. I hope i can do lots of stuff better.

President Gordon B. Hinckley

I am so sad to hear the news about President Hinckley passing away. I have thought for several years that his health was declining and he probably woudl be around for much longer. However just getting the news was very shocking to me. I have several memories of President Hinckley and I am sad to know he won't be here on this Earth anymore. I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to get to know more about him and see him Lead the Church in these latter days. I am sure we will be hearing lots more about his passing soon but I wanted to write a quick note to let you all know how saddened I was to hear the news.

I did it....finally!!!

At Last! I finally made my card file. I have had the stuff for a while now but just never took the time to do. Well today I made time and i thought it turned out pretty cute. I am excited to have my card neatly organized and very accessible. Also I made another look book out of hte scraps. Enjoy!



THe dividers. I was too lazy to edit the pictures sorry!

Like Mother, Like Daughter.....

At night I like to be lazy and sit on my bed with the laptop to watch shows. While the other night Hailey wanted to be like Mom and was in her room doing this.....

Magazines!

One of my favorite things to do it take a long a bath night and read my magazines. It usually to be a nice quiet relaxing thing...until recently when hailey discovered that she likes magazines too. She alwasy wants to come take them from me. Well she has had these magazines for a few weeks and carries them all over the house. Just the other night I went in her room to check on her and found her asleep clunching the magazings. SO funnY!



PS She can find the Dora advertistment in record time now!~

Yet another Craft Day!

Our ward is going to be making these items at an upcoming activity so I had to put the samples together tonight. For some odd reason I wasn't really in the crafty mood but I need them for samples at church tommorow so here you have it. more crafts coming soon.
