My weight loss game...
Back in January when I started this journey of a major life change I made my self a game. It is one square for every pound that I want to lose. When I reach my goal as a family we will go to Disneyland and play. As of this week I am 1/3 of the way there, well really 1.6 thirds of the way there. According to the game ( which has 80 spaces) over all though I would like to realistically lose closer to 90 pounds...
It crept on slowly over a span of 11 years of marriage, so I am not expecting it to come off instantaneously. I am excited however to see the changes that have taken place since January 4th 2010... I have gone down 2 sizes. I have WAY more energy than I think I have ever had. I feel much better now that my diet mostly consists of Veggies and fruits. It has become a game for me to find the most filling and fun recipes for the least amount of calories. (You should try it sometime.) I also have not had heartburn since I started Weight Watchers, but I eat acidic foods, go figure :) I have started biking the 4 miles to my work. Today is day one and so far its a killer :) but I am doing it and that is what matters!
Katie also has her own game that Joel( her honey) devised for her with Weekly challenges, I do the weekly challenges with her so it is more fun than just going through the grind of "losing weight"
So here's to a whole new ball game...

Murder Mystery in the Manor

What do you do when you want to spend quality time with some of the people in your village?  You plan Murder Mystery night of course!  I count Aaron and I very blessed and humbled that we have more village than what we played the game with that night, and I plan to host a couple more murder mysteries to enjoy all ofy village in the near future.  Tonight, we were set in a Manor. I was the wealthy Anthony Westgrove, that is dying of cancer and wanted to gather my family to say goodbye and to let them know I was turning the company over to my illegitimate son Richard, who was the only one that knew I planned to commit suicide after the gathering. We had a Lavish dinner planned of Flat Iron Steak, Marnie's Augrautin potatoes, Jenn's Rolls, Shannon Brock virgin Movktails and I topped it all off with Creme Brulee for dessert. The game company that I got this mystery night from was not as well thought out as How to Host a Murders for sure! The books were inconsistent...

Eight Already? Kyah turned 8 on January 5th. I am have the hardest time adjusting to this fact because I just can't be old enough to have an 8 year . Everyday She seems to grow and mature. I am grateful to have her as my oldest. Since she is Eight , here is a list of 8 things that I LOVE about her. 1. She has the Kindest heart, She truly and genuinely loves everyone she meets. 2.She is willing to help me with what ever task I am working on without complaint. 3.She is a good big sister. 4.She makes sure that everything is fair... or at least as fair as it can be. 5. She works very hard at her school work. Never giving up until its done. 6. Her testimony makes me so proud as a mother( as I am sure it makes Heavenly father proud too) 7.

2017- starts off with a bang

We had a New Years Eve  party with some of our close friends! We enjoyed a night of food, fun and entertainment. I wanted to do some minute to win it games to break up just the chit-chat and board games that we play so often when we get together. We played a game where we had to stack dice on a tongue depressor, and a really fun game where we had to carry potatoes between our legs across the room and drop them into a bucket. we got the adults and kids involved. It was such a fun night! As I prepare for the coming year, I hope that We have many, many more nights just like this one!!!
