Almost there

I exercised this morning while Ian was still sleeping, then weighed myself on the Wii Fit (I do love that it serves 2 purposes). I lost more weight.

I am now: 171.6 lbs and BMI is 31.60. A BMI of 29 will put me in the overweight category and no longer in the obese category. According to the Wii Fit, I only have to lose another 9 lbs. Let's get going....

Ok, so I finished my last 2 weeks of work, and am now job hunting. I will be applying at RC Willey (have a longtime friend of my parents that works there) and Babies R Us (saw that they were hiring when I was there today). Then, I will also be meeting with my case worker to see if he has any job listings for me. Hopefully something will come soon so we have a better place to bring my parents to in October. Honestly, i'm ashamed to have them stay here, so it is my goal to be in a new place by October 1st at the latest.

Hunter's artwork

Here is Hunter displaying the flower that Ian made me for mother's day out of balloons,



and then displaying her tub artwork. We bought her crayons that are specially made for the tub, so they wipe off. She decided to draw some tonight while she was taking a bath. Enjoy!!!!!!

Weight Loss

Ok, so my friend/sister (she's close enough to be a sister, and her younger brother I call my brother) told me that I should post pictures of my weight loss. I don't know if you can see since it's so far away (maybe if you compare it with the professional pictures we had done at Christmas or this spring that are also on my blog), but here are my results so far:

Starting weight in February 2010: 190
Current weight 05-14-10: 174.6

Starting BMI (Body Mass Index): 36.9
Current BMI: 32.13

On the Wii Fit Plus, it measures both of these, which is the only way that I know how much my BMI is. My goal for right now is to reach BMI of 29, which would take me out of the OBESE category. I believe that's another 10-20 lbs down.

Love you Lacey!!!!!!!!!

Bubble gun

Here's Hunter with her new bubble gun that she got from her grandparents for Mother's Day. I guess they had seen a boy with one at the fair the day before, but the fair didn't have any left. So, they went on a hunt at Target to find one, and found one for her. Enjoy!!!!!

Guest bathroom

Here is the guest bathroom.

Master bedroom

The prior post of the girl's bedroom is the other floor plan. I will post a new one that will show you their bedroom. It's the same, except the window is set up differently and the closet is bigger/deeper. For now, here's the master bedroom that Ian and I will have. On the sides, you notice 2 closets, and then the master bath, and yes, there is a ceiling fan in our room too (even if it's not in the video). Enjoy!!!

Girl's bedroom

This video is of the girl's bedroom. Yes, that's a walk-in closet and yes, that's a ceiling fan. ONE of the many reasons why we like it...

Comments, please...

Back patio. Hopefully this gives you an idea of how long and how big it is.
This is the dining room. The deck comes in, so it cuts out on wall space, but it will work for us to still have our table, chairs and be able to sit down.
Part of the kitchen. This is the first place we've seen that we can afford that has faux granite counter tops, built in microwave, and oak cupboards. It also has double the counter and cupboard space of what we have now. Plus, the appliances are updated.
Here's the other half of the kitchen, which has the freezer with ice maker (we don't have that now), and more room in the fridge since it's bigger than what we have now.
Here is the master bedroom. It's a bad picture, but it's bigger than this.

Mother's Day

Here she is discovering her cupcake.
Hm, this frosting is pretty good.

What??? You told me to eat the cupcake.
This is for taking tons of pictures of me.
McKenna looking at grandma...
She has a frosting moustache.

Yep, I think she enjoyed it. Happy Birthday, McKenna. I love you and look forward to more moments with you.

McKenna's 1 yr birthday

Sadly we didn't take our camera to her 1 yr. birthday party, so you will have to wait until I can get pictures from other family members. I did take some pictures on my cell phone of her and her cupcake, so we'll see if I can get those loaded. She enjoyed the cupcake, and needed a bath at my grandparents because she had it so bad all over her. The rest of the party was nice, and it was nice to enjoy the weather outside and talking to family I haven't seen since February.

Here are some pictures I did capture, though, of her a couple nights ago. Look for an update in a couple days of what we've been up to.

Hunter

Cute pictures that I took of Hunter tonight.
