My weekend started on Thursday!

Texas Rangers vs. Baltimore Orioles

On ther spur of the moment Matt and I decided to go to a baseball game with the girls. It was so much fun. A little challenging fo a couple of reasons. 1. We did not have dinner before we left, which made choosing a low point food at a ball park nearly immpossible. I managed pretty good, actually Matty thought a hot dog was the best option, since everything else was fried. Thank you honey! 2. the loud speaker freaked Izzy out. She was screaming and shaking because of the noise. I eneded up walking around most of the time to calm her dowm. 3. Sami was constipated, which ended the night with a big mess in her pants. All in all though a great time. I love watching baseball, and all wh really know me that is amazing. Watching sports not really my thing.

Sami now wants to play softball. good deal.

Matty caught the last foul ball of the night. What a great ending to the night.

Friday we decided to go toanother baseball game. Rangers vs. Cubs. This game was alot slower than tthprevios nights game. This time we had a babysitter for the girls. A great date night for Matt and I. Although we were so tired fright before that we left bottom of the 7th ining. We are getting old. HAHa

Then Saturday we were invited over to a friends house. We had a great time. Jill and Tom also came.

With all this excitment going on for the last 3 days, tuesday weigh in might not be very good. I would not change a thing, whatever the scale shows. I am here to live. I am deticated to losing weight to become healthy. Be more active with my kids, be around for my husband and feel good about myself!

Skype fun

Last night was alot of fun. Chelsea, my niece, called me on skype because my other sis Angie was comig over to play taboo. It was Joshy, my nephew, his girlfriend Rondell, Chelsea and my two sisters. The all played musical chairs when it was there time to get us to guess. That way I could see them on the computer, if they were making hand gestures. Something was wrong wth their computer because they couldn't see me. What an invention! Computers and skype. I felt part of the family, in on the fun. More game nights are to come. Yeah!!!!

I am still not done

We are back to the same old things. Although after today BSF is done until September, when we will start our study on Issiah. Look forward to that. Went to WW yestrday and lost another pound. Yeah Slowly but surely it will melt off. HAHA I am watching the Devil Wears Prada, again, for the third time since I got home. I now know how Iwould like to dress whenI reach gaol weight. I just addore all those styles she is wearing. Now everyone knows me that jeans and a polo is my thing, so I will really will be turning myself inside out to accomplish this. I feel this is something I have to do, I am not sure why. Maybe I need a transformation, maybe I am already going through midlife crisis, nay. I can not possibly be mid way through my life. I can not imagine spending hundreds of dallors on designer clothing. So I guess I will have to buy nock offs or settle for less expensive stores. Well enough about my pipe dreams. Here is so more pictures from my trip to Idaho.

My two sisters and I went to see Sugarland on hursday night. It was so awesome! Danny Gokey from American Idol was an opening act, plus one other gal.

Alyshia Gamble has the same tatoo as Sugarland.

 On Friday evening I had permanent makeup done on my eyes. Oh boy what an experience that was. I had to fly home the next day. I looked like I had been crying all night. I was funny looking.

More fun stuff

Sami dancing at Nana's ranch.

Cousins reunited again. Aren't they cute? Sami says Lulu is her best friend. It was very cute to see them together.

My sister put me to work when I was there changing out her shower head. My nephew Joshy, Niece Chelsea and Rondell.

Izzy is taking a bath in Papa's bath tub. Yes you heard right. This pink cast iron bath tub belongs to my Dad. He was given all his baths in there when he was just a wee little one. My mother keeps the tub up at their cabin in New Meadows.

Hops fields on way to the cabin.

I'm Back!

It has been a couple weeks since I  updated the world on the going ons of the the Texas Rinard Clan. Here are a few exciting events......




Sami, Izzy and I went to Blueberries frozen yogurt on Friday night before we flew out  Idaho. It was fabulous, the place has bright colors, fun furniture and great yogurt.

Mom and Dad Rinard was very gracious in booking us a room at the Garden Hilton. A great place to relax in such a sorrowful time. The funeral of little Johnny was beautiful. We had time to say goodbye. I was amazed by the love Gavin had for little Johnny. He did not have a chance to see him, which he greatly wanted to say goodbye. What really amazed me was Gavin faith. He first questioned why his life was so short, because maybe he could have brought alot of people to chirst, but then came up with that maybe Johnny had to have a short life to enable to bring the people God had choosen to him. So out of all this Gavin faith has become stronger and is happy to know he will someday meet that extradianry boy.

The hotel had a pool. We took the opportunity to go swimming. Sami, for the first time, jumped from the side of the pool with out holding onto someones hands. Yeah!! Izzy slept te whol tie in her carseat.

On Sunday April 25th, Matty's birthday, we went to Marie Calendars with our good friends Candace and Mike. Good times good memories. Mike rented a room from us for 8 months.

Matty's birthday brownies from his Momma

Emma caught a fish!

This has only recapped the first few days in Idaho, more to come.

Sami's New Bike

We decided Sami needed a big girls bike. It was a put together one from target. It didn't take Matt to long to figure out that the training wheels were on backwards. HAHAHA

Sami now takes both her trike and big bike outside to taunt the neighborhood kids.

When one girl goes to rides the trike she runs over to ride it. Then the same thing occurs with the other bike.

So in other words she tries to ride both at the same time.

I believe she takes after her dad mostly.

Today is a beautiful day here. I love it when the sun shines bright. It always makes me happier.

I went to WW this morning and lost 4.6lbs this past week YEAH!!!

This puts the total at 34.6lbs since Izzy was born. 7 more to have lost all baby weight. Well that is the third baby. Then I will start working on losing the weight from the first born.

I have been working on that off and on for 12 years now.

This time is different, this time it will all come off before the next child.

Then I'll start all over agian.

This sounds like a never ending cycle with me. Similar to the crazy cycle of realationships. Without love for her she won't respect him, without respect for him he won't love her. Around and around we go when will we stop, nobody knows.

My girls and I

Distraction

Matthew and I went to the Jason Boland and the Stragglers concert last night. It was a much needed distraction from life.

We were at the worlds largest Honky Tonk, Billy Bob's. It has a rodeo arena, cassino, 2-dance floors, gift shop, billards area. My ears are still ringing. We sat right in front of the speakers.Jason and Noah on stage

The fiddler player for this band is Matt's friend from highschool. We got back stage passes. Awesome! We went into this back room were all the bands that have played at Billy Bob's sign the wall.  part of the signed wall

Incredable experience! I could become a groupie.Nay i have other resposiblity's. this is Noah's personal band he is working on making it big.

On a last note all our prayers are with Johnny and his family.

We love you guys
