Happy Birthday Emma!!!! (Part one.)

It was Emma 4Th Birthday she wanted to have a ALL GIRL Birthday party.

This was the first time that I did one. She also wanted to have a "tea party"

This was so fun to plan out. I wanted to get tea party hats but this it the wrong time of the year to buy that stuff.

So we sent for crowns but guess what they were all out of them. so we just turned the visor hats around.

I think they worked out just fine. I wanted the girls to paint cups but they were out of them too. so we did mugs and the girls LOVE them.

The cake that I made.

We had little girls there and it went so well.

Happy Birthday girl we love you tons.

Corn Belly.

Ok I first have to say this.

Thank you to all the people that gave us there half off coupons.

With out them there is NO way we could of gone.

We had a great time and the kids did not want to leave.

We stayed there for 3 hours Love it!!!

At the end they had some face painting done.

It was a great day weather was great and the lines were not that bad.

I was just looking though some pictures and found some that I wanted to post for a while.

I also wanted to clean out all my post that I haven't posted.

I love this picture she dressed herself and was proud of it.

We were at our neighbors house celebrating the last day of school.

We have the best neighbors.

you might be over weight .......

You know those red neck jokes. Well here is mine

You might be over weight when your Doctor of 9 years ask you "when your baby is due",

as you are holding your 6 months old in your arms, AND as he rubs your belly too.

Yes this is my life.

The only thing that makes me laugh was watching his face. I really could see the wheels turning in his head saying "OH CRAP this does not feel like a pregnant belly.

I quietly told him "um I'm not pregnant"

After that I told myself that I have to change I have to do something about this.

I started to do some exercising with my friends and lost SOME,

but not allot.

During that time my neighbor said I should join the biggest loser group her parents have.

She told me the cost only 35.00 not bad if your husband had a job. I sold some stuff and was in.

I weight in at 170 yes that is right 179 and wore a size 16 AND I was only 5.3

My sister in laws gave me some eating info and work out plans.

Here is the info http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ Love it and it's free.

I did my first 10k June 26 at Lehi day with my sister in law.

She had to wait over 20 min for me. After that

I have done four more 10ks , one 5k and one half marathon.(13.1)

I have lost 35 pounds gone down to a size 8 and will be trying to lost 10 more by the end of the year.

Some of the people that have been inspiring to me is My sister who ran her first 5k with me.

My sister In-law Michelle who has 2 kids, and a very busy life. Every time I see her she is looking healthier and healthier.

And my other sister in-law Mary who has been cheering me and Pushing me to do some of this runs.

But most of all is my FAMILY my husband has been giving up allot for me to run.

Love that man!!!!

One year.

One year from today Rob found out that he lost his job.

One year from today I though he would have found one by now.

One year from today I though we would never make it pass the holiday let alone for one year.

One year ago we lost our income and even some of our friends, but gained true new ones.

One year ago we truly came together as a couple, parents and a family.

One year ago I though I know my own strength but found out that I was allot stronger then I thought.

One year ago I never would of gotten excited about toilet paper and diapers being drop off on our doorstep.

One year ago my baby girl would never sang this song

"Oh where oh where is my daddy's new job Oh where oh where could it be."

and One year ago It would not of made me laugh so hard that I almost wet my pants.

One year ago we came closer to the Lord,

We have learned how to budget, be more frugal. and to REALLY trust in the Lord.

We have seen many blessing and received many gifts from above.

And though we have no job YET our prays have been answered,

our needs have been taken care of and we truly feel his love.

We have a true understanding what it is to

"trust in the lord with all your heart and don't lean on your own understanding. In all things acknowledge him, and he shall direct your way.

( Proverbs 3:5,6 )

I hope this trial will end SOON but if not then I know our needs will be taken care of.

Thank you for all your prays, he does hear them.

If anyone hears of anything PLEASE PLEASE let us know.

Rob has been getting allot of interviews in the past 3 weeks.

I have been teaching off and on.

We are thinking if he does not have a job by the end of Oct then he will be going back to school.

We have applied for Pell Grant and hope to hear soon.

I will be going back to work and then we will be going from there.

If anyone hears of a stay at home job PLEASE PLEASE do share.
