A few more pounds

I lost 1.4 lbs. since last week.  I'm up to 5.6 lbs. total and I'm really excited.  I'm glad it's coming off slowly because I'm afraid that's the only way I will be able to keep it off.  

Morgan's Basketball Game

Morgan had a game today and I took some pics of her.  She doesn't really shoot much so I don't have many "action" photos.  She has a good time though and it's good exercise.  Her team won by two points.  Jackson and Daddy went to the UT vs. Memphis Men's Basketball game so Jackson didn't play his game today.

Accident

Oops, I guess I'm not very handy with a screwdriver.  I was working on the knobs on Jackson's dresser and put a screwdriver through my hand.  I had to go to the hospital and get stitches.  The funny thing was that the nurse and the doctor both said, "Phillips head?".  It left a definite diamond like mark on my hand.  It is still very sore all around my hand and my other arm is super sore from the tetanus shot!  So stay clear if you see me with tools.

Snow Day???

Well, I wouldn't really call it a "snow" day but we did get a little snow. The kids were off anyway for MLK day.  It snowed a lot and was beautiful but it didn't want to stick.  That didn't stop my kids from wanting to go play in it.  When you live in East Tennessee you never when you'll get snow so you take what you can get. I know our friends in Chicago and Indiana are laughing at us right now.  

I'm So Excited!

Well, I had my weigh in tonight at Weight Watchers and I lost 3.4 lbs this week!!!!  Yeah!!!!  I did a little happy dance.  I was hoping for 1 to 2 so I am very pleased.  I didn't get time to exercise last week so I wasn't sure how I would do.  It really motivates me to stick to it.  She did say that I probably won't lose as much next week-that typically you do well the first week but it really does motivate me to keep it up.  Just thought I would share my joy!!!

Jackson's teeth

Can you see that my son's front two teeth are brown?  Well, they are.  When we were in Hawaii he was jumping on the bed in the hotel and Josh stuck his arm out to keep him from falling off the bed.  Well, Jackson came down or up (not sure) on his arm with his two front teeth.  They bled a little but I thought they would be fine.  Wrong!  In a couple weeks they started turning brown.  I was afraid they were dead but the pediatric dentist said they were just bruised and that the color would probably return at some point.  He did say that by the time they go back to their normal color, he will probably lose them anyway since they are baby teeth.  We call him Hillbilly Boy since he looks like he has nasty rotten teeth.  He thinks it's kind of cool.  I just laugh because I can't imagine what people think of us when they see us out with his lovely teeth. 

Weight Watchers

Well, it's that time of year again.  Time to lose weight...I realized I can't do it by myself so I joined Weight Watchers and tonight was my first meeting.  I'm really excited about getting healthier and having more energy.  I wish I could have found a friend to do it with me but I'm hoping I keep my chin up (both chins) and stick to it.  Wish me luck!

Jackson's Party

Jackson had his birthday party today at Jumpity Jump.  He had about 20 friends ranging in age from 2-10 and they all had a blast.  Jackson was soooo sweaty which just showed how much fun he had.  He got lots of great gifts and he especially loved his cake-a UT cake.  I can't believe he is 6 years old!

Happy New Year

We spent a quiet New Year's Eve at home. It was also Jackson's birthday so we went out to eat to his favorite restaurant (Taco Bell) and came home and opened presents. Morgan and I made cupcakes for him and he enjoyed those. We shot some fireworks in the driveway until we got too cold to stay outside. It's hard to believe Jackson is 6 years old. He loves sports and is good at playing ALL of them. His birthday party is Sunday at Jumpity Jump in Knoxville. (It's one of those inflatable jumping places)
