I just weighed in 3.5lbs. lighter than last weigh in (about 4 weeks ago). I not only lost the weight I gained from my vacation, but 1.5lbs more.
Â
Every week we have a challenge that we are working on. This week our challenge is to give up 5 of our flex points. We will see how I do with Ash being out of town. I tend to eat out more when he is gone.
Here is Dallin Boogie boarding. This is right before a rip tide got a hold of him and swept him out. Ash had to swim after him and help him back in. Quit a scare.

This is Blow hole just east of Hanamua Bay.
This is the house that Ash grew up in while living in Hawaii.

Here is a little more of our wonderful vacay. Sorry it has taken so long, I’ve been busy getting the kids back to school.

Fun on Waikiki. Cole is just hoping the parrot doesn’t think his ear is a tasty worm to eat.

Cole liked the sand much more than the ruff surf.

You know when you give your husband permission to do something and then wish you hadn’t.
Like I did a week ago. I told my husband he could go to his geek dinner on my birthday and now I wish he would just stay home and do something fun with me. Pout!
Oh well I’ll just go get my self a yummy treat and then feel guilty that it isn’t in my diet. Double pout ;0(
The last thing I said to Ash before falling asleep last night was “I’m going to sleep in tomorrow for my birthday.”
Â
I woke up at the crack of dawn to my 4 year old saying he is going to throw up.
Â
Happy Birthday to me.
…Photo style, curtosy of my early Birthday present a digital camera. (my b-day is Thursday)

This is supposed to be rafting, but it looks like a dock to me.

Working hard.
The finished product.

Oh and by the way 2.7lbs. until I hit my first goal. I can’t believe how good this feels. I’m still not even close to being done, but it’s a start.
This is SO me! I could have wrote it almost word for word. I’m glad I’m not the only heartless wife ;0)
(the post on July 30th about her sick husband. She didn’t provide a permalink for it, sorry. It is totally worth reading)
Wow, yesterday was a big day! I think I’m still trying to process it all. My husband was true to his word, and is now bald. He said it was the highlight of his life having Seth shave his head. I told him he needs to get out more. All kidding aside, I haven’t seen him this excited and happy in a long time it really was a great day.
Â
The company Head Blade has already contacted him and asked if he would like free products, and if he would link his You Tube video to them. Wow the word travels fast!
Â
After a month and a half planning I can’t believe it is really over. Seth was great, it was everything we expected. I’ve seen a lot of his video’s but nothing beats meeting him in person. Now I just have to figure out who to give 9 copies of his book to ;0)

Yeah spring is here. Oh how I love the warm weather. (even if our unseasonably warm weather is only a brief tease) Warm weather brings many things that I love children’s laughter outside, flowers blooming, trips to the park for a picnic, but most of all it is the beginning of 4 wheeling season! We took our kids, and there cousins out to five mile for some fun family time tearing it up in the dirt. I was a little nervous about taking the cousins out because I was so sure they were going to hate it, but to my great surprise they loved it as much as my kids did. They got brief lessons on basic driving, and off they went like pro’s. By the end of the day one of them was riding by himself, and the next one was driving by himself with an adult on the back, just in case.

My daughter turned 12 (yeah) this is what I’ve been waiting for, a free babysitter. Yes, I have used her to watch her little brother, on short trips to the grocery store but there is something more official about being 12.
So my hubby and I decided to go on a date night. We have never been to Octavio’s before (in American Fork) so we decided to try it out. I want to apologize to everyone who loves the restaurant in advance, but I was not impressed. Not only was the food so so, but our waitress didn’t even bring me the meal I ordered instead she brought me her favorite dish.
I know I need to be a little more assertive, but I didn’t know what to say so I just ate it and didn’t say anything. We took some cheese cake home with us for later (my favorite) and that was also just ok. Needless to say we won’t be going back.
The good news is my daughter only had to call me once while we were out, and that was to ask were the drain stopper was for the sink, because she was trying to surprise me by cleaning the whole kitchen including mopping the floor but she couldn’t find the stopper. What an angel.
