A Whole Lot of Excitement!!!!

First off I want to apologize for the mass postings but I'm a slacker in uploading pictures, so the blogs are written and I just don't have corresponding pictures at the time so I don't post. I'll try to get better about uploading pictures when I write. We had a very good weekend as I hope everyone else did!!

I got up early Saturday and went into town to Cradles 2 Crayons ( this is a gently used consignment sale)...I didn't find much but I did buy Isabella a Barney costume and a plush Baby Bop. She is crazy about Barney as most of you know and I couldn't resist. They were only $2 each and I wish each and everyone of you could have seen her face when I showed them to her. She was so excited and had such a huge grin on her face. She cried "Wear Barney" when she had to take the costume off to get ready to head to town for the game. Here are a few pics of her sporting her Barney costume and it has already been worth the $2!

This is the BEFORE when Alan "THOUGHT" he was still skinny until he stepped on the scale!! These pictures were taken from September-November of 2008. The side view of his belly is a tad bit older however it gives you an idea of how big his gut was as that was where most of his weight was!!

I want to brag on Alan a little. We started Weight Watchers on January 10th and as of Saturday Alan has lost a total of 57.6 lbs. He looks AMAZING and about a month ago he went to the dr and is way healthier. His cholesterol, which before Weight Watchers was indeterminable because it was so high is now within normal range and the obnoxious snorer has gone away. Thank you God, for it all but especially the snoring. On Saturday he became a LIFETIME Member to Weight Watchers. This means that he has reached his goal weight and maintained it for 6 weeks. He now will attend a meeting and weigh once a month to keep this status and he never has to pay Weight Watchers again as long as he stays within 2 lbs up or down of his goal weight. We are all so proud of him and glad that he is a much healthier Husband and Daddy!!!

This is the after when he really is skinny....weighs approx. 193-197 and now can wear a M/L in shirts and a 33 waist in jeans!!!

Also on Saturday we had an extra ticket and no babysitter so we took Isabella to the Tech game! She had a BLAST! She was so excited she ran approx. 12 blocks to get there. She yelled "GO TECH!", "Come On!", and "Raiders!" to name a few. She also loved the popcorn and enjoyed watching the Goin' Band from Raiderland!! Poor kiddo passed out about mid 4th quarter. I was so proud of her, she did lots better than I thought she would and I think she really enjoyed herself!! My mom might have lost her ticket to a 2 yr old to the less crowded games.

~Cute words of Isabella from last week:

We were in Hobby Lobby and as we were walking in they had a huge Fall display with pumpkins, scarecrows & hay. She walked up and picked a pumpkin out and said "DELICIOUS, NUM NUM!!" It was too cute...what 2 yr old says DELICIOUS?!?!?! Then she walked around and saw the scarecrow...the scarecrow had long hair and an apron on and Isabella said, "Look it's a Scary Mommy!"

Not much else to report. Hope everyone has a nice week.
