Look what I found
Battle of the Buldge
Ok, baby is 3 months old. I'm only down 10 lbs since his birth. Pretty lame considering I gained about 40 lbs during my pregnancy.
So I joined weight watcher and I've got to get motivated so I can lose weight, but able to wear my clothes again, and feel better in general. So I'm going to try to post on here about my goals and what I'm doing so hopefully you can help me be accountable and so you can give me some encouragement of course :) I want to get back to the gym, but getting all of the kids ready to take to the day care is a little overwhelming so I'm going to start with what I can do from home. And since I spend most days laying around with the baby while the kids play any activity is better than nothing.
So I'm not going to tell my starting weight, lets just say it's a lot. Way to much. My goal this week is to lose 2 lbs and by the end of June be down 8.
What kinds of things do you do to help you stay on track when your trying to lose weight? and any good tips to keep me from snacking all day??

Father and Sons
AKA - Heaven, at least it will be in a few years when ALL the sons get to go :)
I remember when my brothers would go to the father and sons with Dad and Mom and I had so much fun having a night together without all of them. Mom was out of town this year so she didn't get to come hang with me, but maybe next year.Last time they went Grandpa went with them and the wind blew so bad they spent the whole time hanging out in the tent trying to escape all the dust, but this time the weather was perfect and they had lots of fun activities planned. Daddy even spoiled the boys by getting them their own slingshots on the way home. Not quite as fancy as the ones the Indians were selling, but still fun if your a boy and like to shoot things.
The boys had a blast, thanks Aaron for taking them!! You're such a great Daddy!

Four Corners
New Mexico
Last weekend we loaded everyone up and headed to New Mexico to visit Kris and Ginna for a few days. We had the best time and can't wait to visit again sometime. Aside from getting to visit with Kris and family, the next best thing was that the kids were SO GOOD in the car! It took us about 11 hours to get there, split over 2 days, and 12.5 hours to get home (all in one day) and we had very little fighting or irritating stuff. We only had one incident of car sickeness that luckily was easily cleaned up, and we managed to do it without DVD players or millions of toys and snacks. It was amazing. And I managed to only get 1 speeding ticket (on the way home) what road trip would be complete without one?
We got there saturday and just enjoyed the day together at their great house and the kids had such a good time playing together. I love that Max and Parker are so close in age, makes it really fun to get together. Just wait till they are all big enough to run around, it's going to be so crazy!
We got to see Kris's dental practice and some fun sights around town. We even went to a cool park with a super big slide!
We really had such a good time. Thanks again for letting us come Ginna and Kris, I sure do love you guys. I wish we all lived closer to each other so we could spend time together more often, but at least we can visit.
