Well its that time again....Friday weigh in. We are now into the last couple of week of this challenge and I'm kinda sad that its going to be over. I hope she has something else up her sleeves for us all! I did my best this week to follow my vows I really did, but I just couldn't' work in all those workouts. I'll have to try better this next week! So that leaves the good stuff....down 2 whole pounds. Whew! I'll take that over zero any day. I also earned myself a new shinny badge. I'm having a hard time convincing myself that I have in fact lost more than 15 pounds since this started. If it wasn't for the fact my pants are fitting better and the smaller shirt size now fits I wouldn't actually believe it.
So what do you think of the new page? I also added some music..

Randomness!!
I have been tagged by Christie O. from Baby Tea Leaves to post 8 random facts about me. This should be fun...Where to start?
1. I hate shopping for me! I can buy everyone else something but never me. And Dan has to force me to do it. There is always something either the kids or the house needs.
2. I love hearing my kids laugh, and hate to see them cry.
3. I have only wrecked one car in my life. Just so happens it was before I got my license. (remember that A?)
4. I have the greatest friends and family in the world.
5. I met my husband while working at a motel. (Get your minds out of the gutter) By chance I may add...he wasn't suppose to come up on that trip and someone got sick so up he came.
6. I to LOVE Christmas...I have already started to decorate for it. Call me crazy, its a long process.
7. I miss my grandma more everyday.
8. I'm having a blast doing my mini book that I ordered from Melanie over at Mo's Joy, (its actually under Jake's Aunt on my blog list) She still has some if you want to do one also, I think, head over there and find out.
And you probably thought you were going to get some juicy detail about me.. Sorry its a family blog so its gotta stay clean. Ha ha like I have anything juicy in my live anyway!!
I tag anyone who wants to play as well. Just let me know so I can check them out.

HFH update!
This week our challenge was to write our vows , and because she said we could copy and paste hers in they were similar, I cheated a little! I'm busy today!
-For the next 4 weeks, I will eat clean.
-Every time I want to sluff off a workout or I want to spontaneously stuff a donut in my piehole, I will think of this group and how it has pushed me to lose 15.4 pounds already in the challenge and how we have lost 400 pounds as a group. By staying true to myself and making myself a priority (for once). I will think about how I am only a stone's throw away from the healthiest me I can be.
-I will make healthy meals and surround myself with healthy choices.
-I will enjoy treats but only ones that I have planned in advance and in moderation,
-I will work out three times a week and work out an additional two.
-Above all, I will not comfort and/or reward myself in food.
I tweaked some of them a little, my personal favorite is the second one. I really need to work and getting more "me" time this week. Kinda have pushed it to the back burner the last two weeks and my numbers have shown that. But this weeks loss was 2.4 pounds. Really wasn't expecting that but I'll take it.

Ohhhh MEGAN!
Here they are, the long awaited pictures. I hopped on here this afternoon only to get called out into putting on some pictures. So I caved. Even though I'm fighting a major cold among other things. Anything to keep my friends happy! I was expecting Angie first though. Here is Madison's new glasses. Aren't they cute?!?!
Things are good. William is doing somewhat better. Still on his breathing treatments 6-8x daily, depending on the day. Madison was kept home yesterday from school due to a fever that took forever to break. And MaKayla.......the drama is with her this week. I have a great pictures to share, but it would probably gross alot out so I won't post it. I ended up taking her to the ER last night. Due to the fact that she had blood gushing out of her nose most of the day. No I didn't type that wrong. It was gushing, so bad it would soak through ALL her clothes, blankets and start to pool. I had never before seen that, and I have seen alot of things with these three! The ER doc said it was due to a virus she has. He wanted to cauterise the blood vessels up there, her ped. said no. Then he moved to the nitrate stuff, another no, that stuff burns! And just one more great idea to pack her nose. All three shut down by her ped. doc. Thank goodness! Verdict is to keep it super moist with Vaseline, and go back in if and when it starts back up.
On to the pictures!! They are kinda funky looking. I think my camera is messed up bad. So you'll just have to deal with them. sorry!
