Fathers Day

Father's Day this year is bittersweet with my own Dad being gone this year. It's so strange having him gone. He was such a great Dad, full of energy and life. And he was an incredible Grandfather. My boys always had the best time when Grandpa would come to play. He knew just how to entertain little boys. One of my favorite things was watching him be a grandpa. I hope that Parker and KC at least will have some memories of him and always know how much he loved them.

And Happy Father's Day to my Father in law Chuck. I've been blessed to have wonderful in laws. Chuck is such a great Father and Grandfather. We love when we are able to go visit and hope we can more often in the future.We love you Chuck and are so grateful for the wonderful example you are to us.

And our Grandfathers. Such incredible men. We are so lucky to have them in our lives and be able to learn from them and enjoy visiting with them.

And last but not least my wonderful Husband Aaron. He is the best Daddy ever. Our boys adore him. Thank you for being such a great Father for our children. For your example to them and for your love for them. You are such a blessing in our lives and we love you so so much!

Slater

Ok so there was some drama with the other blog to raise money for Slater's family that i can't really go in to but here is the new site.

The family and friends of Slater Holt are uniting to raise money to help with his fight to live. Please show your support! Anything can help

Slater H. Holt had a tragic accident June 10. He fell from his two-story, bedroom window to the concrete below. He suffered severe trauma to his head and was life-flighted to Primary Childrens' Hospital. He is currently on life support in ICU in a drug induced coma. Doctors anticipate he will stay in ICU for weeks then months for rehabilitation.

One of my Favorites

I recently got these pictures back from the photographer at this wedding. I think this is one of my favorite cakes so far. The wedding was at sundance and was so gorgeous. They had so many cute details, I love when I can be apart of a really fun wedding and my cakes can be displayed like this.

Look what I found

I was going through some pics on the computer today and came across these. My friend Evelyn took them after we had moved into our house. Aren't the boys so cute?! KC was only about 18 months in these and Parker was barely 4.

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??
