Losing Weight

Four weeks ago a few of my friends and I decided to set up a weight loss program. We all contributed $5 dollars to a pot. We get together on Mondays for a weigh in. If we gain weight we have to add 50 cents per pound to the pot. We also have to keep a log of what we eat and the exercise we did. If we don't keep a log then we have to add another 50 cents to the pot. This has been a good motivation to keep me going! I am proud to say that I have lost 10 pounds as of yesterday!! We are doing this for 12 weeks and I will most likely keep going after that. This is helping me get into some good habits! Thank you to all my frieds who are helping me with my goal of losing weight!!

Sending Warren, Matt and Kylie off on the Pioneer Trek!!!

Trek has finally arrived!! I sent Warren off yesterday. He is helping with the behind the scenes stuff. He loaded up the truck with dirt bikes and other off-road vehicles. This morning the kids had to meet at the church at 7:30 to get on a bus that was taking them up to the trail head. As you can see from the pics below they were excited (Haha!!) I hope they will have fun, have a good attitude and come back having had a good experience. I am missing them already!!!

New Toys

Warren and I got new toys!! A couple of months ago Warren bought me a baby grand piano that I had been wanting. Then a couple of days ago he bought a motorcycle. It is a Honda Goldwing. We have both been wanting these toys for a while and finally found the good deals we have been looking for. Here they are!!!

Bike Ride on the American River Bike Trail

We decided to spontaneously take the girls on a bike ride last Saturday. Matt was on a bike ride with his trek family so he did not go with us. We got a late start. We took the girls to lunch at Burger King then got on the trail. It went down hill from there. We had gone about 2 1/2 miles when I got a flat tire. We didn't bring anything to repair it so we had to turn around. I was towing the trailer with Carlin in it so Warren put the trailer on his bike and I walked the 2 1/2 miles back. Anways, we didn't get very far but I think the girls had fun. We will have to do it again and we will be more prepared next time.

Miranda's Day in San Francisco with Best Friend

Miranda was invited by her best friend Anna Cramer to go and spend the day in San Francisco with her and her Mom and Dad. They went to several different places. They had a picnic at Golden Gate Park, went to the wax museum and a bakery to name a few. Here are some pics. they took that day.

4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th of July this year. It started out with a pancake breakfast at the church. Matt participated in the flag ceremony. After the breakfast the kids were in a race/parade on their bikes and scooters. Miranda won! After the breakfast Warren and Matt went dirtbiking with a couple of Matt's friends (Matt B. and Andrew). When they got back we went to the Nitsos' house for a swimming, BBQ, and fireworks. We had a great time! Here are some pics. of the holiday festivities.

Folsom Lake

We went to Folsom Lake this evening with the Cobabes (my sister Pam's family) and Tom and Justice (Warren's brother and niece). We brought dinner to the beach and then got the Sea Doos out. We had a great time staying cool!!
