I love looking at baby pictures of the girls at around the same age.
These were all taken between the ages of 4 to 6 months
(Cali's pictures are all taken at 4 months)

Sitting Pretty

At 4 1/2 months old this is Cali's latest trick. She is so amazing to me, she already can roll both ways (she has figured out she can actually go places this way) & now she is sitting up! Is it just me or is she just growing way to quickly?! I love being the mom of this drooly, happy, giggly baby!

This is her little lady pose :)

This one just makes me smile, she is so cute!

Something New

I am trying to learn something new. I have wanted to get into digital photo editing/scrapbooking for awhile and now that we have a computer that can handle it (won't freeze up when we open a large file) I am excited to try! I am learning a little at a time, so it's not too overwhelming! This page uses all the things I've learned so far "digital paper", "layers", "brushes" and "journaling tags" oh and I learned how to make a matte for the picture. This is my first attempt; I'm hoping it will be one of many more pages in a baby book for Cali.

Before and After the Weight-Loss Competition

People have been asking for some before and after photos, so here you go.

We had a weigh-loss competition at work beginning on May 6th and ending on June 17th. I won the competition. I lost 26 pounds (12% of my body weight), that's 4.3 pounds per week.

How'd I do it? I watched my portions, stopped drinking soda, didn't eat sugar, and worked out like crazy (at least five days a week).

I'm still losing weight too, but the best part is that I feel as though I now know what I can eat and how much I need to work out in order to maintain my weight. I love it and I feel great!

This picture was taken in late April.


This picture was taken yesterday.

Guess Who?

Oh So Cute Cali!

Cali Just Being Cali :)

Jeremy just ran a mile in 7 min and 4 sec....
show off :)
btw did you know that he lost 26 pounds! I'm leaving it to him to provide the before and after pictures... so you all should bug him for those :)

For Good Reason

Ok ok I get it, but I'm not just slacking for the fun of it. I have had a legitimate reason for not updating our blog. We have less than 2% of our hard drive's memory left on our computer; which means that I didn't have a way to download all the videos and hundreds (yes hundreds) of photos off of our camera's memory cards. We have been holding our breath as we watched our computer run noticeably slower and slower hoping that it wouldn't crash.
Now the good news, we now have a new computer! It came in the mail yesterday evening and I have already copied all old files, photos and videos over to this shinny new computer. Next I will upload all the new stuff and then I will play blog catch up :)

*New photo's and video's will be coming soon!!!*
