Happy Sunday

Love you Dad!

 Happy Father's Day!

 

My dad moved to America from Germany when he was 18 years old.  He has taught me to work hard and was so proud of me when I went to college and graduated.  My dad knows how to fix anything and I mean anything.  He is a great man.  Dad lives in Florida so I don't get to see him very often.  But I will this summer.

Happy Father's Day to my husband!  Love you babe!
 Randy will do anything for his family.  As seen here dancing with his daughter at her wedding.

5. If you could be granted one wish, what would it be?

Summer is Here

My mornings are filled with swim lessons, swim team, Tyler's friends over.  Afternoons are filled with all things Heather including her friends!  I love summertime and concentrating on my kids.  I do make sure I get 45 minutes of exercise each day.  I've never done that before....spend time on me too! 

Tyler's first ever swim meet.  Freestyle and Freestyle relay.  Next week is Backstroke.

He did great until he looked down. 

Heather volunteered in a Kindergarten classroom all year long for school credit.  She loved it!  Maybe she'll take after her mother and become a school teacher too.

More volunteering with her friend Alexa.

Happy Sunday

Weight Loss Quest

I saw this in a magazine and could totally relate.

  "When I was overweight it was like I just blended into the background, but then I started getting thin and all of a sudden people were noticing me."

Now I realize that could be a good thing.  Instead my feelings were  (1) "Where were you before?" "All of a sudden you like me now"  (2) all the new attention is difficult to handle.  Now I realize my ISSUES are in my head and I basically had to get over myself.  Change is hard, even good change.

One of the best things about losing the weight (there are many) is feeling normal.  That's a good feeling.  I'm not the fattest person in the room.  And yes, I used to always notice that.

Happy Sunday
