funny:

Isabella: I am getting dressed for the ball, put your pants on so we can dance.
Zach: I don't want to put my pants on.
Isabella: You HAVE to have pants on to dance with a princess.
Zach: _______________________no words, just gun sounds
Isabella: You're not supposed to shoot princesses.

I said I wanted to be accountable

stupid!

We had a great week, which means I didn't have a very god weight watchers week! We went to Disneyland on Wednesday on Thursday and Friday we prepared for our camping trip. Friday night-Monday morning we camped and Tuesday I had my weigh in.

So I gained 2 pounds, ug. This week will be much better!

Birthday fun!

My baby boy is 4! I can't believe he's already 4, he is such a fun little boy, he cracks me up on a daily basis! He told me something was splendid the other day, hilarious!

Donovan's mom and sister got him all Transformers toys, he loved them!

oh, and gum, that's a pack of gum in his hand from Donovan's sister. He was most excited about his gum.

Here they are in toontown, their favorite place at Disneyland!




My mom went with us, she hadn't been to Disneyland since I was about 12! She loved seeing all the new rides. We all loved the Buzz Lightyear ride.




Here are Zach and I on Small World, that ride is so nice on a hot day!


The kids always have to have a big sucker!




And Isabella got her face painted, Zach never wants his done!


Our friends came to visit us and go on a few rides, here is Isabella and Zoe. They are BFF!


Zach had a great birthday, my mom got him this semi with lots of Cars cars in it.


Such a fun day!

why in the world...

Did I decide to do Weight Watchers the day before we go to Disneyland and 3 days before we go on a 3 day camping trip?!

Definitely not the best decision, I doubt I will lose an ounce!

My first weigh in

I started Weight Watchers today and I need to be kept accountable so I am going to post my progress on here.

week 1: psht...like I'm posting my weight on here!


Stay tuned for an update next week.

beyond measure

I am blessed beyond measure.

I ask God to help me lose weight and all of the sudden a mom of one of Isabella's school friends asks if I will work out with her. Another friend, Paige asked if I wanted to work out with her around the same time and then my mom asks if I want to work out with her!

I am determined to lose some weight before our anniversary trip in June and to keep it off this time!

It's funny because when you pray and ask for something sometimes you don't see your answer. I didn't wake up the morning after my prayer weighing 122 pounds, dang it! But God did put 3 awesome people in my life to help motivate me and keep me in line.

So here I go...again!

Hutch

He is a crazy dog early in the morning! He wants to see everything that is going on, wants to say hello to us and the dogs, wants to smell all the smells he missed while in his crate all night long! He tries to get out of our arms as we walk down the stairs and this is how he looks, he is such a funny dog!

Zach's favorite way to eat

A little bit of everything! He loves fruit and veggies so I pick a few different things and put them in this sectioned plate and leave it at the table. He HATES to sit and eat so if I leave it he grabs a bit as he runs by and within an hour it's gone!

Oh and in case your wondering, he is eating pita crackers, blueberries, grapes and a sugar free jello! yum!

a fantastic idea

I read about a cheap and great window/mirror cleaner. It is 1/2 gallon of water, 1t of dish soap and 1t of cornstarch. I applied it with a sponge and then used a squeegee to clean it off wiping the squeegee with a towel each time. I worked WONDERFULLY! My windows look gorgeous!! I also used it to clean the patio tables and the barbeque. I am so excited about this, cleaning with windex and paper towels seems like such a waste and not very effective!!

We also cleaned and organized the garage, it looks awesome, here are a few photos:
Here is our tool wall, everything hung up is so helpful! The water jugs are for an emergency and the boxes on the left have firewood in them for our next camping trip.


all the bins have different things in them, car washing supplies, dog and cat supplies, sprinkler parts, tennis rackets and balls, rags...etc.


this isn't all that organized but the trash can on the ground is for soda cans and the one on the wall is for bottles, that way I don't have to seperate the sticky cans at the recycling place.


I helped Donovan clean off his workbench, it was completely covered in junk! He is not at all organized and couldn't care less! P.S. those are our old kitchen cabinets, pretty cool, huh?!


I love getting things done, we spent money on lunch and dinner today...that's it! I would rather spend a day working on our house more than a day at the mall anyday!
