What we've been up to...

Ethan and Caleb love taking pictures and videos...

These ones are by me. I love these special, tender moments...

Moving on...

Yes, yes, we're going to Hawaii in May!! I am beyond excited. Fred won an award called 'The Peak Achievement' award which is the highest award and honor T-Mobile gives to someone. You must be nominated by your peers but more importantly, it depends on why they think you deserve to win. They each write about the person when they nominate them. They divide the award by channels within T-Mobile. So, there is one for sales, etc. But only one is picked within each area within T-Mobile out of the whole region. So, out of the western region, Fred won. He got a total of 5 nominations and the other nominees either got 1 or 2. Anyway, he won and so we get to go to Hawaii without spending a single penny!! WOO HOOO!!!! 

So, I'm now in Hawaii mode, meaning, I am on a diet and working out to get ready for Hawaii and to wear a bikini. Yep. It's been 7 years since I've worn one due to babies and all. I'm happy to say I'm now on week 3 of this thing and I've lost 9 lbs!! Yes, 9 lbs!! I'm so happy and my clothes are fitting better and I feel better. I'm snacking throughout the day and I'm never hungry. I'm also walking about 6 1/2 miles each week. It's nice to go out and enjoy the fresh air. I'm loving it and it's becoming easier and easier for me to do.

I ate In N Out the other day (I will never give that up-ever) and I was so full after my burger and a few fries. I usually am still hungry after getting a number #2. I also just felt sick and gross. I'd been eating so healthy, I think my body was trying to reject it all. I don't have as big a desire to eat there so often but that doesn't mean I'll never have it again. In N Out is just part of who I am. :)

So, other than that, not much has been going on besides Fred going out of town every other week, me helping with our wards Roadshow, play dates, birthday parties we've attended and Joy School.
