Five Months Already!

Ava Lu Lu turned five months this week. When I took her to the doctor she weighed 16lbs 10oz. She is definately not starving! I started her on rice ceral this week and she loved it. Time is going by too fast. Here are a few of my lastest favorite shots of her.

Everytime I get motivated to get back on my diet a candy filled holiday pops up and I find myself hiding in the pantry eating my childrens candy! I am tempted just to throw it all away because I have zero will power! I also threw my friend an ice cream party and guess who had all the left over toppings and ice cream. Thats right me!!! I kick my own butt three times a week at the gym but I can't stop eating like a teenage boy having a growth spurt. Sometimes I eat more than John at dinner and it kind of freaks me out!!! If anyone has any suggestions please save me from eating myself to death!!! I have to add that I love watching the Biggest loser. I am usually sitting in my recliner eating cookie dough while I cheer them on.

Anyway onto Easter. So there I was at my parents house for our Easter egg hunt. All the cousins decided they were going to race to see who was the fastest. I was trying to show off so I decided to race with the 7 and 8 year olds. On your mark get set go! I took two strides and I found myself rolling across the grass. My legs somehow got stuck in the grass and didn't move with the rest of me. Very humiliated I started laughing and snorting until I looked down and found that I had got grass stains on my favorite pants.

If that wasn't enough to humble me I then decided to race with my sister Cindy. I have to add that she is about 3 inches shorter than me. After one step she left me in her dust. She says her speed is all due to her welch muscly legs. To ease my pain I went inside and had my second piece of cake and fell asleep on the couch.

All about Ava!

Happy Dating Anniversary!

John and I met and went on our first date twelve years ago today!!! It was a blind date lined up by my soon to be brother-in-law. John treated me to a fancy dinner at the "Golden Corral." On the way to the restaurant John was so nervous he wouldn't stop talking. He still won't stop talking to this day! We then went to the park and flew glow in the dark kites and then went back to my brother-in-laws house and made homemade rootbeer. We actually realized we liked each other when we went out and sat on the trampoline together and talked like we had know each other for years. Our date ended by watching Joe vs the Volcano. When John dropped me off at my front door he asked if he could see me again. My reply was " I'm gona see you tomorrow." We had already planned on going hiking up Farmington canyon. I knew after that date that I wanted to marry him. He was so nice and interested in everything about me. He even liked me despite my ugly braces I was still sporting. I hope he reads this and gets the hint that I would like to go on a date tonight to celebrate!

I am only glad I did not know John when he looked like this. I think I would have run the other way!!! Notice the purple Fresh Jive Pants. Classy John!

This is John looking G.Q. right after his mission. I think he still has that suit!

Ava 3 months!

I am actually posting this on time!!! Ava is three months old today! We took her to Kiddie kandids to get her pictures last Saturday and she wasn't cooperating but they turned out cute anyway. I am having so much fun with her. She is so cute especially when she smiles. I like em' big I like em' chunky!(madagascar 2 F.Y.I) I think of that everytime I see her rolly polly thighs!
