HCG Drops

So today I started these weight loss drops called HCG Drops. A couple of girls at my school have been doing it with awesome results. My one friend started on Friday and already lost 10 lbs. In just 6 days. These drops are totally natural and help your body release the fat it is storing. And since I've got plenty stored up it is time to do something about it so stay tuned. Starting weight is 145 goal weight is 120. My 10 year highschool reunion is July 31st so I have to get smokin hot for that. Ü Luke has promised me when I get to my goal weight I can go on a huge shopping spree! So here goes nothing........

Look who's still here!

So I decided I needed to update my blog. I know, I know, it has been a very long time but I plead being extremely busy with school. But we are still here and we are still alive. School is going awesome. I hit my half way mark this week. YAY!! It is going by so fast I can hardly believe it. The kids are doing so good. Riley is amazing and scores 100% on all his spelling tests. Emma is as fun as ever. We have been to 3 different doctors, the last being a urologist, and finally discovered that she has bladder spasms. This explains the accidents she has been having and with a simple dose of medicine they have finally stopped. Poor thing, she was getting so frustrated because she knew she should not be having accidents but she didn't know how to stop. So thankfully this is helping. As long as it continues to work she will not have to go in for exploratory surgery, so keep your fingers crossed. Luke is doing great and fishing every chance he gets. I have so many pictures to get caught up, but we'll start with our fishing trip to Stanley. It was so much fun. The weather was awesome and it was our first time for the year to break out the camper. They caught a ton of fish. Fish fry any one?

Luke and his buddy Carl...... the fishermen!

Here is my cute honey, so happy to be fishing.

The kids were so good. They just played on the rocks all day

and they loved it. It felt so good to be outside.

oh yea gotta bite......

reel it in......

It's a fighter.

Bringing it in...

The catch. It's a keeper!

I was enjoying the beautiful weather, laying by the river and

reading my book.

Baiting the hook, for another go.

Waiting for the bite.

Netting another one.

oh yea babe that's a big fish!

Carl's "catch" of the day.

Riley made his own pole and had so much fun.

Emma wanted to fish too, so we made her a pole out of a stick.

Here is one of Carl's big ones.

This was Luke's "catch" of the day! Ü

A tradition started by my Grandpa, the kids have to kiss the fish.

eeeeeew.

I'm in love!!!

Thank you mommy for introducing me to these guys. They are really famous in Canada and are big fans of Celine Dion and didn't know she was coming to suprise them. They are so HOT too!

New Camera!

I finally got a new camera! Our last one broke at Riley's birthday party back in December so here is an up date since then. (Lots of pictures)

In November Paula, Janae and I went to the premier of New Moon. They were just putting it up on the reader board as we got there!!

In the lobby getting in line.

Here we are the geek patrol ready for our movie. The girl on the left is a friend of Paula.

All the others waiting in line. We luckily got there early enough to be inside the lobby, lots of people had to stand outside in the cold.

Actually in the theater now!

Getting so excited. The movie did not disappoint!

This is at school with my new friend Andrea.

Thanksgiving at Grandma Trace's. This is how Luke spent the day.

Making a Christmas count down calendar.

Lots of stickers were involved.

Grandma gives all the kids an ornament at thanksgiving for the upcoming Christmas. Emma was alittle excited about hers!

A jingle bell snowman.

Riley got a deer in a wreath.

This is how my beautiful niece Abby sleeps. Comfy huh?

Now on to Riley's 7th birthday. Opening presents.

Just what he wanted.... Lego Power Miners. AWESOME.

At the Bowling ally for the party. Grandma and Abby came.

Riley and Toby bowling.

I love this action shot of Emma's hair. She turned just in time to see what she knocked down.

Daddy was the score keeper.

Uncle Curt (Kuncle) and Aunt Janae (Auntie Nay) and Levi and Marshall came too.

Kind of a blurry picture but still a cute shot.

Riley and all his "dudes." Devon, Kirby, Trevor, and Ry.

Kirby and Abby doo.

And just in case you are curious, here is the most recent picture of my hair. Dark with extensions. I got sick of the short hair real quick. Thank goodness for extensions. Luke likes it better long too. Also I was playing with the settings on my new camera.


I guess that's about it. Now it is just a routine of school for me, work for Luke, school for Ry and daycare for Emma. We keep busy but we are happy and doing great.

Excuses.... Excuses!

So not only did we get a new computer and all my pictures are on an external hard drive that I just barely learned how to use, but our camera broke at Riley's birthday party so I have been waiting to post for some pictures but I think it will be a while. That was a long sentence! School is going great, I am starting to build up a clientele and I am still loving every minute of school. I am already on my 5th hair style in the 3 months I have been at school. It is so much fun getting your hair done whenever you want. Since I always get sick of my hair after like a day it is nice to be able to change it as much as I want. Don't worry, no orange. We went to AZ for the Fiesta bowl with Luke's 2 sisters and their husbands. We had a blast! I will post those pictures as soon as they are emailed to me. (hint hint Zan and Tara Ü) That is about it for now. Life is great, kids are great, Luke has a job, we have a home, and we are a family. We are truly blessed!
