And then Jason was one!

My baby boy is one! Last weekend we had a fun birthday party for him. We had people come over and swim and have enchiladas and cupcakes. I made Jason his own little football cake, then Tim went and got a little giants guy figurine and we put that on the cake too. When I was making the cake I was tryin to figure out how I was going to make brown frosting, I was like what colors do you mix to get brown, then I thought duh, chocolate. So he got a chocolate frosted cake. And he ate the whole thing. He even tried to lick the plate! I was just going to turn the hose one him and the high chair, but everyone thought that was mean so we took him out and hosed him off:). Here is a picture of why we invite my dad to these events, to free the toys from the packages!
The next day on his official birthday, We were going to go to Leatherbys, but they were closed. What ice cream place closes at 5pm in summer in redding? so we went to perkos for dinner and after dinner we ordered a huge ice cream called the pot of gold to all share. Yum!

Two months in....

Well we are two months in to the new house and we love it! Things have been repainted and fixed and most boxes unpacked. If I could just get the time and motivation to finish. I have one room left to paint too. The kids love the backyard, with the kiddie pool and I just got a canopy so that we have shade out there. My grapes are growing and pretty soon I will have millions for everyone. Although it has been hot, our cooler has been keeping up well and I think there was only one day that I was ready to go buy central air.

In other news my baby boy will be one in just 2 day! How fast this last year has gone by! I can't belive it. He is walking pretty good and only crawls when he is trying to catch Kara. Who is smarter and funner than ever. She remebers everything, she always notices when we are driving by a place she has been before like my work, she will yell "Momma there's your work", whenever we are on Hilltop.

Today we went to Need 2 Speed with my work it was a reward for working a night we had for charity where we donated all of our tips. Need 2 speed was so fun! I can't wait to take Tim and my dad and Adam back they will love it! The second time we were racing I had a kart that seamed to have balder tires and I kept sliding around the courners. (or maybe I was going faster and braver). I spun out one time and then like 3 laps later someone hit me from behind and we crashed. It was so fun. So go do it!

You'll be seeing less of me...

Well, back in march I decided that I was going to be dedicated to losing weight this year. I signed up for myfitnesspal.com which I love (and its free) and going to the gym 4-5 days a week. I started feeling better and began losing weight now. I am down 20 pounds and it feels awesome.... My goal is to lose 40 more before my 30th birthday! Which is 10 months away....
