Well, I haven't been blogging in a while. Have actually been writing down stuff with a pen and paper...What are those you ask?! LOL The things we used to use in school...for most of us grade school. I know so long ago it's hard to remember! So, here is an update to my life.
First, my weight loss journey has been stalled for a long time. I am at 45 pounds lost. I have been gaining and losing the same few pounds for the past few months. I admit, I haven't been exercising like I should be and eating more junk food than I should as well... :( It seems like this is the weight I keep getting stuck at. When I lost weight before having Jacob, I got down to 235. Right now, I am between 228-233. I can't seem to get below 228. I thought last week would be better because it was so nice and I was outside doing so much in the yard and playing with the boys and even had less junk food...but nope. Well, enough about the downer subject.
On to brighter topics! Mom was here for the past 6 days. :o) The boys and I were going to go visit her in Yakima but we could only be there for 2 days because Ken worked. Driving there and back would cost close to $80 in gas for only a 2 day visit so I decided to pay for moms bus ticket here so we could visit more. It cost less because she got to ride home with my grandparents who had flown out of SeaTac and was coming back the day she needed to get home. We got to do a lot of fun things. The weather was pretty nice most of the time so we went to the parks a few times, some stores, ate out, half price bookstore, a baby shower, and the movies (Saw Battleship. It was good) We always enjoy spending time with my mom. :o)
The boys are both doing fine. Both their bratty selves. I started a new thing with them where they have to earn tickets to be able to play games. Jacob especially was wanting on the computer WAY too much. His lil eyes would pop open in the morning and he would want on. Now, he asks what he can do to earn a ticket :o) He knows he can't get on without a ticket. Their tickets have their name and picture on them so they can't take each others to use them. Ken is also doing fine. He got a book that he needs to read to take a special test so he can get certified in some thing or another. It's a HUGE book so it might take him a while to finish it.
Kyle had his pinewood derby a few weeks ago. He won 1st place in our Pack! He was super excited. That made him able to go to the districts for all the surrounding packs. There were over 60 kids there racing. Kyle got 3rd place out of the Wolves and 6th place out of everyone! He didn't get an award from there but that's pretty good for his first time going!
