My Spring Break 2010

So this week was my Spring Break and I have enjoyed every minute of it!
I have shopped til I dropped, ran errands, spent time with family, friends and cleaned house.
The beginning of the week was designated for dr appts, dentist appts, errand running and shopping. So, I told Houston Thursday was "his day". He woke up and was so excited about doing what he wanted to do. We had his cousin Abbi over for the day and they had a blast. They played in the sand, rode bikes and scooters, played Just Dance wii, ( which is teh best game EVER made for the wii) had our own Easter egg hunt ( more than once), baked brownies, played with chalk, and played with the wild man puppy. They were so so dirty and so tired by the time I took Abbi home, but they had so much fun together. I have pics, but have not loaded them to my computer yet.

I also weighed this week and have lost a total of 38.9 pounds since November. It is so hard, but I feel like I have so much more energy now. People are starting to notice and it feels so good. I have been cutting back on what I eat, quit eating after 5 pm, walking at least 30 minutes a day and doing 100 situps nightly on my AB rocker. My sister is getting married in 2 weeks, my 30th birthday is next month and my beach trip is coming up which I scheduled today. I want to do this for myself, my health and so I will be around for Houston for a long time. My blood pressure seems to be better and maybe one day, if it is the Lord's will, I can get off blood pressure meds.

Thursday, I hung out with my sister for a while to discuss wedding plans, then I headed out for a much needed Girls Night Out with friends. We had great food, fun and just sitting around having some good conversation. I got in after midnight and had Houston wake me up at 7:30 a.m. wanting to know all the details of my night out! haha, he thinks he is grown sometimes.

We went to the zoo Friday and talk about beautiful weather. It was the best trip yet! We went as a family but ended up running into some fabulous friends and had a ball. Houston's favorite part was the fountain at Teton Trek. It comes up like a geyser and then goes back down. It has steam too. He had so much fun playing in it. We really are lucky to have such an awesome zoo in our hometown. The wolves were laying by the fence and we could almost touch them, they were so close. Everything was perfect!

After a long day at the zoo, we went home and showered and headed right back out for a night at the circus with our friends Brian, Heather and David. The kids had so much fun watching everything, especially the three motorcycles and the crazy woman in the ball all at once going in circles so fast. Brian had never been to a circus, so it was quite an experience. Once again, we had good food, great company and awesome entertainment.

Today has been spent picking up around the house, and playing outside, We have been outside ALL day long. It has been so beautiful and just think they are calling for snow tomorrow. UGH
We gave the dogs a bath, practiced TBALL, played in the sand, rode bikes 3 miles and hung out with our neighbors. We have recently met some of our newer neighbors and they are so sweet. We are so blessed! Well, Houston has passed out after a long day, and I need to get off here and get some more things done. Hope everyone else has enjoyed this weather as much as me.
