Where has the time Gone?

Wow it has been a long time since I blogged. I decided today was the day to get things updated. So since January 24th, the date of my last post, a few things have happened.

February was not really filled with anything to blog about. So on to March. I was kinda dreading March because my birthday was at the end and I was turning 28. That is 2 years away from 30 and that scares me. Will had to work all day and I was at home with just the boys. However my friend Leslie made me a cake and came over to eat some with me. It was the highlight of my day. In her family they have a tradition that the birthday person has to take the first bite...with no hands. So I did it.

So moving onto April. There was Easter. We had a nice family get together with Will's family. The boys enjoyed finding their baskets and I can't believe i forgot to take pictures. I video taped it though. One of these days I will figure out how to upload videos.

Samuel also decided he wanted me to shave off all his hair. So I did it for him and he loves it.

Samuel also lost his 1st and 2nd teeth. The crazy thing is the new ones had already grown in before the baby teeth fell out. He was very happy to be visited by the tooth fairy.

Will's sister was also visiting during the month of April and it was fun to see her and her family. They live in Arizona for the time being and her husband was here doing a medical rotation.

Onto May. Nothing has really happened yet but this moth has a few exciting things going on. I signed up for another "Biggest Loser" competition and fully plan on winning. I am doing well so far and will keep you posted as I weigh in. My first weigh in was on April 30th and I weighed 191 1/2. I know I am brave to post my weight for everyone to read. I am weighing myself at home as I go and my goal is to lose 2 pounds a week for the 6 months of the contest. That would put me at 137 1/2. Today I weighed 184.4. So already I am ahead of my goal. I have taken some before pictures and will make them a bit more modest before I post them. I want to take pictures at the beginning to track my results. My next weigh in is on the 20th. I will let you know how it goes.

Mothers Day is coming up and for my gift I get to go on a girls weekend to a cabin with 11 friends in Island Park. I am very excited for this get a way and leave this Thursday.

Samuel will be done with pre-school on the 20th and we will leave for Oregon on the 21st. My sister is flying into Boise so I can pick her up there and have someone to drive to Oregon with. I am so excited for this. I have not seen her since my wedding 6 1/2 years ago!

James has gotten big and will be 7 months old on the 18th. His 2 bottom teeth broke through this week. He is getting better at sitting up and loves to play with his toys. He is the happiest and smiliest baby. We love him and are completely enjoying the stage he is at right now. I will end this post with some recent pictures of him and the boys.
