Summer IS Ending :(

Summer is over today is my last day of summer...... School starts tomorrow and I am READY I am sick of summer. I am ready for homework and torture by the teachers that sounds crazy though. I have had a fun summer I have went alot of fun places so

Back to school!

new week--- new challenges

Well the week ended with a bang a banged up knee that is. Braxton hurt his knee in his game Friday. He came down on it wrong. We have had 4 people look at it trainers, doctors, orthopedic nurses and we have gotten 4 different opinions. So all weekend we iced it and and took ibuprofen and rested it. He missed his game yesterday, they lost by 17 I guess maybe they needed him. He has one more game that he will probably miss. He has a Dr. appointment today. So hopefully we know whats wrong today.

We went to family home evening with Lynn and his new ward yesterday. It was fun. I have been asked to bear my testimony and share a little bit about us next week at church it is linger longer and I have to teach primary. I guess we will go to some of our church and some of Lynn's. That's my life a balancing act. Tonight is young women in excellence for Brooklyn hard to believe she is in young womens. It is also Brooklyns parent teacher conf. Wed. Braxton has a game we will go weather he palys or not. It's his last game. :-( I don't think we have anything thurs. and fri. right now.

I am tired of winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to wear my sandles and have the sun shine.

I have still been losing weight today I am wearing pants that have never fit and they fit YEA!!! I didn't even have to wear my body shapper. I hope that I can continue to lose. Wish me luck....

busy

wow I can't believe another week has gone already.

Lynn got a new calling. They made him a counselor in a student ward Bishopric. Kades to be exact. We went to church with him on Sunday to see him put in and set apart. Then I went to our church and I taught primary WOW some of the kids were on one. I taught a lesson on faith, I think it went o.k. it's hard to tell with 4 and 5 yr. olds. Then we went home had a quick dinner and then I finished the paper one of my favorite Sunday activities. I closed my eyes for a second it seemed and then we went to a fireside and then to ward prayer night. I have decided his other calling did not involve us but this one is going to be a group calling. We have family home evening and then I think I need to go to his ward as much as possible----I don't think I can do 6 hrs. of church.....

Monday I was supposed to be observed. I got my whole song and dance-- dog and pony show ready only to have the assistant Principal tell his secretary he forgot. So he is coming Thurs. So we moved everything for the week. We went to dinner for Brooklyns birthday-it's wed. but wed. is a bad day so we did it Monday. Monday was also valentines, Lynn gave me a 12 roses. And I gave them treats, balloons and a gift card to sinclair. It was an o.k. day

Tuesday- So far so good giving a test, brooklyn has her last activity days and Braxton has young mens. I am going to try to wrap presents. What to have for supper... Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm that would be dinner for me. Just tell me what to cook already. The resource officer was supposed to teach NOVA tomorrow but he had to cancel. So we are rearranging the week again.

Wed. Brooklyns birthday it is hard to believe it has been 12 yrs. since we had fetal surgery. 10 wks. of bed rest lasted way longer than the 12 years of her life. she is getting mostly clothes and and Ipod touch. Braxton plays Logan and then we will go to the varsity game. Love watching him play

Thurs. Bowling and maybe family home evening


Fri. Braxton has a game against Box Elder and then we will go to the varsity game

Sat. the night session of Lynn's stake conference. yipee

this week

Let's back track to Sunday--- I love my primary kids but WOW are they busy. One handed me a golf ball yesterday and said don't eat it???????? Do I look like I eat golf balls? And one said my dress was crazy. So much for my sense of fashion. I taught the first vision yesterday and I had a vision while putting the vaccum away at the bank. I borrowed the tree's (the sacred grove) and huge cardboard cut out of a guy ( who was transformed into Joseph). We watched a video and had popcorn. I had a good time hopefully they learned something. Time to start thinking of 2 weeks lesson.

Okay onto Mon. and the rest of the week.

Monday - piano and misa take home and I am hoping to get snowmen put away and valentines up...don't hold your breath for that one.

Tuesday- meeting with bishops and stake president about building accessibility don't get me started on that one. Young mens and clean the bank

Wednesday- Braxton plays BB and I have a 1/2 day. They play Box Elder.

Thursday- Brooklyn has bowling at the fun park

Friday- Braxton has a BB game at home against Mt. Ogden

Saturday- shooting practice at Mount Logan

Sunday- Superbowl Yeah I love Super Bowl Sunday..cheering for the Steelers black and gold get it

So basically everyday we have something...life as we know it

Diet news.. I ate a few things I should not of but still doing well. I had to have a chick-fil-a-sandwich. yes I could have not eaten the bun but REALLY, but I only had one tiny waffle fry and water. Ate a piece of desert at Lynn's bank thing. But I'm back on track today. I made whole wheat blueberry muffins last night for this morning and packed my whole wheat tortia wrap for lunch MMMMMMMMMMMMMM..actually the food is not bad.

HAVE THE WEEK OF YOUR CHOICE

Thurs. ALREADY????

WOW it is already Thurs. and I haven't blogged since Mon. Time flies. This week has been crazy busy. Mon. night I took a friend to insta care for a shot. It was an interesting experience... to say the least. Tues. Braxton had a game, he won, and had a great game. He had a triple double 13 pts. 14 steals and 12 assists. He played really well and I was happy for him. He works so hard. We play Logan tomorrow. I hope we win. And he has a good game.

Wed. I did a quick trip to the distribution center for my primary lesson and I got gas and then back to work. After work I did a few errands. And then home to get ready for the varsity basketball game. I was just about ready and then Braxton called he missed the bus, so I ran to get him and Brooklyn and Lynn met us at the game. Holy Cow. I also got to play lightening during half time at the varsity game thanks to former principal Dave. Only for him. I DON'T PLAY BASKETBALL (it's a gene and I don't have it!). I hope I didn't look like to big of a dork.

Tonight Lynn has a bank thing, so I don't have to cook yeah--only for the kids. I have MLMS got talent after school, pick up Braxton and a quick change and we are off to the bank thing. Tomorrow, basketball at Logan and Kade and I are getting our fingerprints done. I have to renew my lisence and he got a job for the school district. Saturday I think I am helping Angie with some storage stuff. Work on my primary lesson. Teach on Sunday and then it starts all over Mon. morning............................................

Monday

I hate Mondays.........
and there are a million things going on today. Piano, Braxton's parent teacher conf., MLMS got talent, take misa home, dinner, and all the usual homework, baths, etc. My kids don't have school tomorrow we get to sleep in YES

Diet: the good news is I made it through phase one of South Beach and I lost 7 lbs. not bad I wish it was more. So today I can eat fruit and some grain phase 2 is not as restrictive. But you don't lose weight as fast. But my clothes fit much better already. YEAH. I really wanted a cookie last night. But I didn't, I resisted, I have NO will power, but I'm doing better. Wow I used a lot of commas.

This weekend: We practiced basketball, Lynn and Braxton went to the aggie game with my dad, I wrestled 9- 4 year olds in primary (they are crazy) but I love them. Brooklyn and I went to the bewitched closet and bought a few things. Braxton had a game on Friday. They lost to South Cache. I hate to lose almost as much as Braxton hated to lose. They should have won. He plays 2 games this week one at home and one at Logan.

This is a busy week Hold on here we gooooooooooo............

diet

Well I have been doing south beach for almost 2 weeks. And I have been pretty faithful. It has been hard. It seems to me we have eaten out more and had more ice cream and treats. But I have been good. Has it almost killed me--YES! I love food. But I have lost 6lbs. and my clothes feel better. Only 20 more to go :-). I can do it......... Braxton played basketball yesterday he had a good game, but threw it away more times than he usually does. But he had 4 points and 10 steals. Parent teacher is tonight so I won't be home until 8:00 aaaaaaaaa. But tomorrow I can go back to bed. I don't have to be here until 9:00. You gotta love that.

why??????

I have said many time's that I would never blog, I only like to read other peoples. I did this for sort of a dairy-journal thing. And with the hope that id I type about my diet it will help me stick to it. Nobody knows I have a blog. So that is the WHY. So if by accident you found my blog happy reading. And I hope you don't figure out my secret identity. Maybe one day I will tell my friends I have a blog ;-)

Diet:
I started South Beach on Mon. Jan. 10th today is Friday Jan. 14th so far so good I didn't even have treats at book group last night, but I wanted to!!!!! My realistic goal is to lose 20lbs. My dream goal would be 30+.

Braxton has a game today at 3:30 and Brooklyn has a sleepover and I think Kade has a church basketball game. I am going to CLEAN my house, and Lynn will probably sit and watch a basketball game---you can never have too much basketball (at least at our house)

starting a new year and a new diet

This year I have started a new diet and a commitment to be more organized. Which is tough in my crazy life. This week has been funny, my friend Sophia has been posting about organizing and keeping things clean. She would have an absolute heart attack if she could see my throw and go house this week. We have not been home one night this week and we run in and throw and go, and then run in and throw and go again we have done this since Sunday morning.

Speaking of my new diet commitment. So far I have done o.k. but WOW have I been tempted. Tues. we went to chili's and I was dying for some southwest egg rolls and the chips and salsa looked fabulous, but not for me and then they ordered chocolate moulton cake. But I resisted. Then the same night I made Carmel popcorn for my dads birthday. Again it almost killed me to not taste. And last night after Braxtons game we stopped to eat, he got a little Ceasars Pizza it filled the whole car, I almost cracked. But I waited and ordered a Ceasar salad at Wendy's Brooklyn got Fries and a frosty------diets suck------but so does not fitting into your clothes.

One last thing
My kids:
Kade- is in college and working at North Cache helping kids who can't turn their
homework in- go figure my child who couldn't turn his homework in
Braxton- Is playing basketball for the freshman team and is having a great season
Brooklyn- my little princess is into clothes, friends, phones and socializing
