Heaths Grand Idea

Heath decided to join the rest of the world and make a blog. It will be from both of us but hes the one that has done everything on it so far. I'm not sure I like it cause well if you visit it you will see why. Anyway you should check it out. Its about our weight loss journeys. Its www.weweresofat.blogspot.com Im a little embarrassed but oh well.

Week 2 in AZ

WOW! This week has flown by I can't believe it. We had tons a fun! Saturday my dad offered to watch the kids while they were napping so we could get a few things done. We were only planning to be gone for about 3 hours or so. If you know my mom and me we cant only go shopping for 3 hrs. duh dad!! We left at about one and didnt get home until 9:00 pm haha. ooopps!! My dad, well let's just say I dont know if he will offer to watch them anymore. Haha. I got a new phone but the guy wouldnt sell it to me unless I got insurance on it. For those of you who dont know how bad I am with phones, I have used about 4 differant phones in the last year, and have to get a new camera. Ya, I suck.

Oh I went to WW and I was so excited I lost .6!! Thats good for being here. We are always going to lunch and have at least one or two treats a day. Well see how I do tomorrow!

Sunday the kids were so excited to go to church and they went to their classes so good.Kylee gets to lead the music in Primary on Sunday and I am going to sub for her teacher. After dinner I decided i would hold Anders down so my mom could squeeze his face and he didnt like very much so he kicked me on my back. I pretty much couldnt move after. I thought maybe he hurt my kidney so I went to the Dr. and he just told me it was a soft tissue injury and to RICE it. It sucks cause I havent been able to go to the gym. I now know, I NEED the gym! For my on sanity.

Kylee gave the FHE lesson on Monday night. She is so cute, she did her little talk she gave in church awhile back and then Kaleb had to do it too. It feels so good when they want to learn and do good instead of fight fight fight. Then my dad pulled out the old book he used to read poems from to me when I was little and read to us. I was so touching to see my dad have so much joy in being able to do that and the kids loving every minute of it, especially "Little Orphan Annie," that was my favorite growing up.

Im getting alot of scrapbooking done I have done 25 pgs or so. It nice to be here because I can just leave all my stuff out and when the kids are napping or playing nice I can just go in the other room and start where I left off. I definitely need a craft room.

We have been having tons of fun but the kids like to mess and we are missing daddy quite a bit now. The kids talk about him a few times a day. We love you daddy.

AZ, Week 1

So I am in AZ staying with my mom for about 5 or 6 weeks. I've been here for about a week and we started off the week by swimming, shopping, and some scrapbooking. I dont have pictures to post because our camera got ruined when we went to lake a couple months ago.

Ryan (my brother) was here and he was obsessed with scorpions, we had about 6 of them in little containers, they were eating each other, it was rather discusting. He also took some really cool pictures of them with a black light. It makes them turn green and glow. It was pretty cool.

Kylee was showing ryan her purse and everything she had in it. He said, "I have a purse, do you want to see whats in my purse? I have lots of purses!!" Kylees thought he was being silly but when Ryan brought his "purse" in she was so interested. He started getting things out and telling Kylee, Kaleb and Kortnee all about his stuff. He pulled out the camera and started shooting. Kylee wanted to try so he helped her take a few pictures and then she went around taking pictures of everyone. We looked at them after and I must say she did a pretting good job with a few heads cut off. I thinks she will end up being our little photographer. Its was so funny to watch Kaleb try to take the pictures. It was a camera you have to look through the eye hole but Kaleb would put his nose on it and Ryan was getting flustered trying to show him. We were laughing so hard, he was so cute!

Kaleb hurt himself so I was loving him better and Kortnee grabbed a statue my mom had sitting there, I said oh no Kortnee and she threw it and well my mom has tile in most of her house and it broke, well shattered. Oops!!

Last night me and Jamie (my sister) went and played softball with the stake and we were first up to bat and she got on base and then it was my turn I had 2 strikes and 2 balls, I was getting nervous and the next pitch came and I wacked that ball clear out there and I got a HOMERUN! I was so proud. That was the only points our team got the whole game but we had a blast!

We went to Weight Watchers on Saturday and I had gained about 3 lbs. So I am working on losing that plus more while Im here. I got a free 7 day pass at 24 Hour Fitness last night, who knows what I will do after that.
