Weight Loss Update and Happy Thanksgiving

I just wanted to write this down so both Jeff and I don't forget how far we have come with some lifestyle changes. Back in April, we started Weight watchers Jeff was 241 lbs and I was 193 lbs. As of this week, Jeff is down to 197 and I am at 157! We have come a long way and feel a lot better now that we eat smaller portions and healthier choices. We still enjoy desserts and treats every now and then to satisfy our sweet tooth, but we have been able to loose this weight through diet change only. Our intentions were to exercise too, but with a 14 month old, and working full time, our time is precious. I love feeling better about myself and not feeling so sick and full after meals.


In other news: On Friday Jeff was layed off from Fetzers, right in time for Thanksgiving and the holidays...isn't that nice? In one way it is a relief to not have to deal with their dishonesty and ever chaning work schedule, but I am just hoping Jeff can find another position he will enjoy. I have had a few interviews with RPT in South Jordan, but didn't get the position, so I guess I am staying put for awhile.


Aubrie keeps growing like crazy and is always moving and doesn't like to sit still anymore. She got her two front teeth over the past 2 weeks, slowly but shurely they have been trying to come in for about a month now. She has learned very quickly how to say her prayers and will fold her arms and sit quietly for a few seconds and then unfold her arms and say amen and clap....it is adorable how she picked up on this within a week of us saying night time prayers. She also learned what Santa says....ho..ho..ho. It is so cute.

Happy Thanksgiving! We had a pre-Thanksgiving dinner at the Evans on Sunday and on Thursday I worked and then we went to the Baths. Afterwards we sat in line at Walmart for the Black Friday madness and also went to Kholes, Gordmans, Ashley Furniature, and Home Depot. I feel like we got a lot of good deals and a very spoiled little girl for the holidays!!!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!!!

We made a visit to Gardner Village to see the witches around and enjoy the fall air (and a day off work :)

Aubrie is not too sure about this witch...

 I came out to the kitchen one morning and found this:

 We also went with my family to ride the Alpine slide in Park City. We didn't expect to wait 2 hours though...guess the nice weather brought everyone else out too!

 Trying to get a picture where Aubrie is sitting still and looking at the camera is pretty close to impossible these days.

This little girl absolutely loved playing in the leaves and was squeeling the entire time. She especially loved it when we would throw leaves into the air at her.

 This Halloween Jeff and I didn't dress up but had fun dressing Aubrie up in 2 outfits. She was a fairy for the Bath party and a Bee for Halloween night.

 Aubrie was very interested in what was inside the carved pumpkins and kept trying to look inside them.

 Trick or Treating for the first time in our circle with Dad.

 Aubrie and Uncle Ster at my parents house.

 My dad celebrated his 50th birthday this year and of course had his tower of Dunford chocolate doughnuts for his cake.

 These were our pumpkins this year. I ended up carving them both since Jeff wasn't feeling so well.
