What A Difference A Year Makes!

Before
After


A year ago today I started my weight loss/ lifestyle change journey. I really wish I would have taken a picture once a month showing all the changes, but I didn't. In the "before" picture I'd already been working out for about 6 weeks or so and lost 7 or 8 lbs. We'd been camping for a week and I had no make up on, so I look extra bad, but it's the best "before" picture I could find. My "after" picture was just a couple days ago. So, in the last year I've lost 35 lbs and I've never felt better. I don't feel "skinny"....I just feel like myself again.

A Month in Pictures...

*First of all, does anybody know why everything I write is underlined? It's very annoying!

State wrestling was on May 2nd this year. Jaxon wrestled great and ended up 3rd. It's a long story, but the refs SUCKED and Jaxon should have had the chance to wrestle more. That's not a mom's biased opinion...It's a fact and we have the video to prove it! We're taking the video to the guy in charge of Eastern Idaho Wrestling. Not to try and change anything because what's done is done, but we're hoping they will use the tape as an example when they train their refs. When you take your kid all the way to State, you expect them to have decent refs....they didn't.

This is Jaxon with one of his biggest rivals...and best wrestling buddies!

We decided to take Trason's training wheels off, just to see if he was close to being ready. Was he ever! Roudy took off his training wheels, and Trason rode away. It's actually kind of scary and he's already wrecked and bounced his head off the concrete more than once. He's a wild man! I posted a video of him riding his bike right after we took the training wheels off, but for some reason it posted at the bottom of the screen.

I got to go on Jordy's field trip to the zoo with her preschool class. Here's Jordy and a couple friends riding the Tiger.

Jaxon fell off the monkey bars and broke his arm about a week ago. It really stinks because baseball is just starting and he's so good at baseball! Last year he played pitching machine and he was the youngest on his team...and the only person that didn't strike out the whole year. (A mom's allowed to brag, right?) Oh well, he's young. He's got a lot of years of playing baseball left!

Who needs a yearbook when everybody can sign your arm?
I'm sure he LOVED this! :)

This Chick Hunts.......

Have you seen that bumper sticker that says "This Chick Hunts?" I'm totally getting it for my mini van! (Okay, no I'm not......) I drew on Turkey this year, so Roudy and I went out to fill my tag. He's grounded, though, because not only did he make me shoot a 12 gauge shot gun, he put a bigger bullet in my gun without me knowing......my shoulder is going to be bruised for sure!


This is right after I shot my Turkey

Last night after wrestling practice Jaxon was supposed to hurry and shower and then come and eat dinner. Well, everybody else was done eating and still no Jaxon. So, I went into the bathroom, and this is what I found.......Spring Break was hard on the poor kid! Now it's back to 7:30 pm bedtime so the little guy doesn't drown in the shower!!
