Week of February 25th

Had a a good but busy week.  Had a few appointments, parent teacher conference and an eye doctor appointment for Addy.  It was early release at school all week so the girls got to have a few play dates which they loved.  Friday was Jaren's 37th birthday, and we went out to dinner with Jim and Gwen while Nana & Papa watched the girls. Friday was EXTRA awesome for me because I won first place in a weight loss contest!  For the past nine weeks (mostly, had a few rough days), I worked my tail off!!  I don't know where my will power came from, but I avoided delicious junk food again and again and worked out HARD...mostly twice a day!  It all paid off and I feel great that I won!  I didn't enter it to win, just for the accountability of having to weigh in.  But, after the first week I started to feel more competitive.  I'm down 23 pounds now, and lost almost 13 percent of my body weight!!  I still can't believe I did it!  They are starting another round of the contest next week, and I'm thinking I will join!  

 Ready to open Jaren's birthday gifts.

 Addy's gift to Daddy, hot tamales!  Hailey got him

cadbury eggs so she could eat some...haha.

Staple gun for his bday.

I let the girls put candles on the carrot cake.  I love the

random positioning of the candles...haha.

 Mmmm...cake.

Waiting to help blow out the candles.

 Hailey came home from dance and got both her 

and Addy dressed in gymnastics clothes to

teach her some "moves"...haha.

 Silly girls!

Addy's new favorite thing is to wear the pink supergirl

cape and run around the kitchen island as fast

as she can...it's adorable.  She calls herself Flygirl.

These cute little sisters fight A LOT, but play A LOT!

 Our old neighbors, The Wigleys, were coming over to go to the 

park for a picnic.  I found the girls waiting by the front door like this...haha.

 We have been doing a LOT of exercising lately, and the

girls like to do it too.  Hailey was the coach here...funny girl.

Doing jump squats!  

Addy with the gloves on...haha don't mess with her!
