So Thankfull

My friend just had her baby and is coming to get some pictures so last night I was looking up cute baby poses. I came across a website footprints (I think) if you go under charity it will show you The American Child Photographers Guild. I have look at a few of these pictures before but last night it just hit me really hard. I will warn you do not look at them if you don't want to cry!! They are pictures of babies (mostly) who have not lived very long. some are gone when the pictures are taken. It is a great charity for parents who are about to or have just lost a child. I can't imagine how hard that would be. I don't even think I could be the one to take the pictures. It made me think of how lucky I am to have 2 beautiful children who have been healthy and happy most there lives. We have had the occasional bumps and bruises but not even a broken bone yet. (crossing my fingers) They both have had stitches but that's it. I don't know how I got so lucky. My heart just aches for the parents who aren't so lucky and have to go through the loss of a child. I just feel so blessed to have such great kids I just needed to write it down. Just always remember to squeeze your kids a little extra tight for all the moms who can't.

Adelyn's Birthday

Adelyn Turned 7 years old on April 14, 2010. I can't believe that I have a seven year old. She really wanted to invite her WHOLE class. Most of them came. I think we had about 24 kids there!! It was so much fun for her and her friends it made it all worth it. I just hope she doesn't expect this every year!!The life of the Party!! It was fun to see the kids come in the gym and there faces just lit up the second they saw the Bounce House. It was a great way to entertain 20 + kids. My Nephew Kayden made sure that there wasn't too many kids in at the same time. He did such a good job.

Her cake turned out so big and CUTE!!

Adelyn's Friends were all so excited for her to open the presents it was cute.

Roller Blading/Skating

Daddy and the kids.

Mommy and Ash
She had her falls also, but she did very well overall.
Taken a break...
Even though he is down he is still smiling... what a good little sport!!
Adelyn doing AWESOME by herself!!
Ashton practicing with dad.

When I got back from Vegas I felt like doing something fun with the kids. So we had set out to go and see a movie and then they decided on Bowling but when we got to the fun park they changed there minds once again and we went skating. It was so fun!! Adelyn caught on rather quickly and was able to do it on her own within the first 30 minutes or so. Ash on the other hand was all about practice but got a little to discouraged after about his 80th fall. He decided that he would try again when he was older, and went and played games with dad.

Swimming in the SNOW!!

We decided to go swimming to try and ware these two out!!

Adelyn was so excited she jumped right in and forgot that she had her shirt on.

Ash was pretty excited too!

They are such good little swimmers. Adelyn can swim under water from one side to the other. They both jump in and have no problem going all around.

They loved to roll around in the snow and then jump right in.

Ash did a somersault in the snow and was quite surprised with how cold it was.

We had allot of fun it defiantly is a benefit to living where we do!!

My Diet

This is Mator...he is the best dog ever!! He doesn't lick or like to cuddle.

This is Molly...Isn't she just the cutest thing ever?

Well I quit!! I decided it was un healthy for me and my family. I am adjusting to staying home all day and let me tell you it is an adjustment. I was to onery all day and just un happy. I am switching to eating about 1500 calories a day and that way I should loose 1 pund per week. It will take alot longer to loose but I think it will also stay off. So here goes a whole lotta work to eating everyday. I am also going to try and start excercising again. It is so hard for me but we have a gym where we live so that should make it easier and then in the summer I can swim everyday!! Here are some cute pics we have taken recently of the kids.

The dreadful Diet

I tell you when I am on a diet I think about all the other diet I could be on and what I could be eating. I even dreamt about eating food today. I was pretty happy when I woke up and relized I didn't really just ruin the day. Today has been a hard day!! Each week I have to skip one of my days of injections and today is my day. I have been pretty tired all day. I think the shot gives me energy plus I have not drank very much water. I am suppost to drink 64oz a day, who can do that? I have done it mostly everyday day but that is alot of water. The good news is I am 1 pound away from 10 pounds!! I had one day last week that I did not loose that day. I am excited though I have lost all of the weight from the holidays. I weigh the same now that I did last year at Halloween. Yay for me!!
