For my hubby Ed, my daughter Dani, my sis in law Tammy and all the other weirdo's out there in our family...

pictures pictures pictures..... lots to share!

OK
First off, it is MARCH ya know....and this is what we got today - SNOW!!!!!

Secondly, a ton of new pix from this weekend, we had a big family event in our home! Micheal (our baby boy) had his Baptism and Confirmation at Church and it was awesome. We have very little family that are members of our Church so thankfully our very good friends were there to support him in this memorable event! So, there are a ton of pix, everything from photos of Micheal with big brother Chris (who got to do the actual Baptism) and then family pix and some with our friends Melvin and Blake who were part of the Confirmation and Baptism as well.

Enjoy!

Quick Check In

Wanted to peep in and say I am still alive! Just busy! Between kids, house, work and all that stuff I have been flying! I am good though.
Struggling with the weight loss - going back and forth, being good for a few days then bad for a few - I hate it! I need to get really focused!
Anyway, everyone is well, Dani has celebrated her 15th Bday this week and is loving teenage life! :O)
More later...

OOPSIE! Think I misled you guys....

In my previous posts I guess some of you got the indication that I *HAD* already reached 199 -- sorry, not yet folks. (danggit!) But I *AM* so very very very close... so close I could just SCREAM!!!! I think we'll be celebrating that monumental achievment within just a few more days... YES! So, keep the cheering to a minimum for now, but hold on when I do hit 199 bc the earth is going to move people! LOL


Darla

Wed Weigh In Day!

Today is the big day - weigh in day! I am hoping for a FANTASTIC number on the scales! I'll be sure to check back and share how fantastic it really is!

In the meantime - just a busy Wed here. Have a lot of laundry to do and make sure everything is ready for Ed's trip to Las Vegas... he and Blake leave tommorrow afternoon! Crazy! I also have a big workout planned for this morning, doing my BL sculpting video and hopefully going to brave the cold for a run!? The winds have died down and now it is just COLD - but after warming up with my video I should be ok to go tough it out! :O)

Biggest Loser last night? UGH! Ours didn't record soooooo I watched the finale part where they did the end of the weigh in and the vote off - I'll have to catch up the rest when I can sometime this weekend I guess.

OK off to get moving - kids off to school, laundry started and get that workout video pumping! LOL

I'll be back to share my GOOD news of the weigh in after a bit! :O)

You can throw in the towel,
or you can use it to
wipe the sweat off of your face."

LOOK!!! Once again Robin has outdone herself - my blog page looks beautimus!! THANK YOU SWEETUMS! XOXOXO LOVE the new spring colors and flowers - maybe that will at least make spring THINK about coming to Eastern Idaho now??? I hope so anyway! Thanks lovie!!

Sorry I have not been on much. Just busy with work and kids and still trying to fight off this dang cold/flu gunk. STILL! I am still snuffing my nose and coughing but not so bad as I was. 2 STINKING WEEKS of this junk! UGH!

On to better news. Things have been crazy but good. Kids are all well and going great in school - we had Parent Teacher Conferences this a.m. and all the teachers were great. Loved it! So proud of the kiddos!

Work is good. I am almost done at the hotel.... one more shift this Sat and then I am complete with that. I just could not juggle the 2 positions and make it work anymore so I gave up one. I still LOVE the dress store and am planning to stay there for the long run for now.

Getting back on track with health and fitness. The icky sick bug got me down for about a week but I am back. I have gone running twice OUTDOORS (no gym with no job at the hotel) and did suprizingly well with that. I have a goal to be to 4 miles by the end of this month?! YIKES! Next month I have a 5K Run for the Cure in Twin Falls with my sis Carlee and I plan to kick bootie at that!

I have some pix from out trip to Boise to share that I am downloading today - will post them later on today ok?

Have OOODLES of housework and laundry to be doing so more later!
