Our New Adventure

I am excited to tell you about what we have been up to lately. We are opening up a daycare in our home. We have been working on it for a couple of months now. We have the perfect space. Our garage is converted into a big room so that is the daycare room. We will have 4 spots available. We are only taking full time right now. Let me know if you know anyone that might be interested. There is a link on the right side to go to the Daycare blog. Its going to be called Laugh and Learn Childcare. My email is laughandlearnchildcare@hotmail.com.

Before and After

I just thought I would post a few pics of my weight loss. One of them is actually a couple of years ago but it really shows how much I have lost. Sorry for the bad photo quality.

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday the kids, Grandma Bonnie and I went to the pumpkin patch. We had alot of fun. Here are some pictures.

And I put a new recipe on my food blog. Go check it out. It looks easy and tasty to me.

My sweet boy is two.

Adam turns two today. He is just the sweetest little thing. His laugh makes us laugh. It just seems like yesterday we were driving to the hospital to have you little man. You bring so much joy to our lives. You love your mommy and daddy, and it melts my heart when you give Allison a hug and a kiss. You are my buddy.

A lighter me!!!

I just have to tell you all how excited I am. I have been wanted to lose a few pounds for a while now and just wasnt very movtivated. So one day Tammie Mabry asked if I wanted to go to a Weight Watchers meeting with her. I said no because I didnt think that I was going to join. So later that night Darren asked if I was going to go and I told him why I wasnt going. Then he said that I could join. I was so excited. So I am in my 7th week and I have lost a total of ....................Drumroll please. 12 1/2 pounds. I am so excited. I am 2.5 pounds away from being where I was when I got pregnant. I would love to lose a little more but prepregnancy weight is fine for now. I will post some before and after pictures in a couple of days.

Is this who I think it is.

There is a website called Total Beauty that sends me emails for good deals and fun articles. Well I clicked on it this morning and guess whos beautiful face pops up. Rose Ruiz. Isnt she gorgeous. That is her right. I think it is. For anyone that knows her, do you think thats her?

Six random things about Amelia:

1. I weighed 3 lbs 1 oz. when I was born 7 weeks early.

2. I just checked out 10 cookbooks at the library. They are my favorite type of book to read, even though I probably wont make any of the recipes.

3. I really would love to keep learning new things in the kitchen and someday have a catering and baking business.

4. I want to cut my hair short but I know that I would regret it and cry every morning.

5. I love to do crafts but dont usually finish any of the projects that I start.

6. I am on a OCD cleaning fix right now. I drives me crazy if there is a dish in the sink.
