The circus

We took the kids to the circus this year. I would have

to say that Ian was the perfect age. The other 2 had

fun, but were kind of restless. We got to see the Lions

and Tigers, the Elephants, the acrobats, etc. It was a

lot of fun!

Having some fun

Since I don't have a job right now the kids are home

more. We decided to go outside since it wasn't raining

(which it has been a lot lately) and play. We enjoyed

bubbles and then rode bikes. Isaac practiced pedaling

and did pretty well.

We went to my friend Jodi's house to play. The kids

had so much fun, especially on the swing set. They

had fun with Ridlee and Jodi's niece Tess. Baby Kadia

slept the entire time, and Jodi and I had a nice time

just chatting and catching up. Emery was very brave

as you can see from the slide pictures, no fear at all.

The kids decided they needed to chase Zeus and

Rascal and squirt them with water guns (since mom

said it was too cold to squirt each other). They had a

blast.
It's been fun hanging out. Hopefully it will warm up so

we can have some more outside fun!

My diet journey

So I decided to do a diet. Since April 17th I have lost 21.8 lbs.
In my neck I lost 1/2 inch
In my right arm I lost 1 1/2 inches
Left arm 1 in.
Upper chest 4 1/2 in.
Chest 4 in
Midriff 4 1/2 in.
Waist 4 3/4 in
Hips 4 3/4 in
Right thigh 1 3/4 in
Knees 1/2 in
Left thigh 1 1/2 in
Calves 1 in.
For a total of 29.25 inches

I am very happy with my diet choice, although at first
I was skeptical. I decided to do the HCG diet. I feel so
much better. I am now entering the mainteance phase
which is very strict so you keep the weight off. Wish me Luck!

Ian many adventures

Ian has had a lot going on the last week. He had his
last soccer game last Wed. He did great. He is such
a natural and he is thinking about playing this fall.

On Saturday May 22nd Ian graduated from Preschool!

Here is Ian with Dani, Ashley, Hollie, and Jen. They
are all his teachers and have been for many years.
They spoil him rotten and even came to some
soccer games.

We are so proud of him and all his accomplishments.

He is more than ready for Kindergarten.

Today Ian had surgery and had his tonsils and

adenoids out. He is recovering very well and was

so brave!

Issac turns 4

Opening presents

While we were camping Isaac turned 4. Hard to believe

it has already been 4 years since he was born. He got

lots of cool presents from everyone. He had a doctor

appointment on the 21st. He weighed 30.8 lbs which

now puts him close to the 10th % and was 39 inches

which puts him almost in the 25th %.

We went on our annual camping trip with Grandma,

Grandpa, Aunt Jenni, Uncle Kevin and cousin Kodie.

It started out a bit rough with Grandpa having a fuel

leak from his truck, but they were able to fix it and

he got to join us later that evening.

We had a good time hiking and hanging out. Ian did a

project and got a junior rangers badge. It was nice

warm weather the entire time. It was a great campout!
