Delayed

Oh boy what a day its been so far for Gavin. He got to the airport and United overbooked his flight. WOW they bumped poor Gavin to a later flight. The good news however is that we get a free plane ticket out of all this. Nice now we can fly him here for the summer. He does have to spend an extra 4 hours at the airport. He wll get here today. Thats the good news.

Matt and Sami are at walmart doing a little grocery shopping. Matt went to make some mac n cheese and found out we were out of milk. I guess that is an important part of the process. hehe When I talked to at walmart, he was having Sami trying out bikes with training wheels. Yikes! She has a trike but Matt seems to not like it very much. I am afraid of what they are going to come home with.

This is totally awesome. I can blog from my phone. You all know how busy I am. Haha I can really keep everybody up to date, with a minute by minute dial

Lazy Day

It's 11:00 here in texas and I haven't even showered yet. Sami is running around the back yard still in her PJ's. I have given Izzy a bath and she is ready for the day. I just finished watching the movie Brothers. A very deep moving movie. I don't think people realize what tolls war take on our men. I salute the men in arms. It takes an amazing person to serve in military.
It is going to be a beautiful day here. Sami is bugging me to watch Carrrrrrtooooons. She has a one track mind. Now she is on to wanting to play stars, a game on my phone.
I am signing off now. I need a shower.

Christmas with my babies!

Doesn't Matty look Beautiful in Pink?

Funny Gavin has the same smile as me. I can't wat to see who izzy looks like.

Totally Excited!!!

Last night Matt and I were watching biggest looser. I wasn't paying that much attention (as usual) and they sad there was an app for mobile phones for their weight loss program. So Matt starting searching is phone for apps on weight watchers. Since that is what I am doing for my weight loss. He had found several neat apps, but the one that ishe coolest is calld Calorie Counter. If you are familar with weight watchers they are based on a point system. This app allows you to scan the barcodes of your foods nd find their point value. Yo can search foods from this app. It lists tons and tons of restraunts, their menues and points value. You can track your weight from there. It has a food tracker. Excersise tracker. I am in love with this app. It is going to make my life so much easier.
Each week I will keep you all informed about my weight loss journey. My struggles and victories. I hope ya'll will celebrate with me and also help me with my defeating weeks. So far on my journey I have lost a total of 7.6lbs Now that I se it in writing it doesnt look like much. This will be a slow and steady process. This is a complete life style change, not a fade diet.
Also I dont want to forget Matt is particpating in this as well. We  hope to have made a signifigant change by the time the McCall trip comes. Although we do not know if our family will be attending.
Please add Gavn to your prayers this week, as he is traveling by himself, with no escort this time, here to Dallas.
