Swimming!!!

If you know me at all you know that one of my favorite places to be is in the water.  Probably because I spent 13 years swimming competitively, I feel so at home in the water.  Our neighborhood pool opened on Saturday and we were all super excited to go play!  It was 90 degrees so it was a great way to beat this miserable humid heat. 

They all got new swimming suits this year...

The twins are really comfortable in the water now, even in the deep end.  They still need to work on their big arms that they learned last year but they can hold their own while they play which is great.  Tyce was a huge wuss last year but he did great yesterday, floating around in the ring but himself and also jumping in by himself.  I think this will be a fun summer at the pool!!!  Here's to fun in the water, happy kids, tan Jenn, and sleepy kids for bedtime!  :)

AVENGERS

Jackson and Josh have been SO excited to go see the movie The Avengers with Parker.  They are so into superheros that it was the perfect movie for them.  Before they left I grabbed a picture of them, I love how they copy Parker with the backwards hat...

 Tyce came downstairs and wanted to join in the picture, I love it, I have such handsome men in my home!

Now they're eating lunch and then we're OFF TO THE POOL!!!  YAY!!!

Class Pictures

The twins came home with their class pictures today and I thought I'd put them on here so I have a copy in my blog book.  It reminds me of my kindergarten picture from California when I was the only blonde/light brown hair kid in the class.  Jackson and Josh sure stick out, but mostly because they are SO STINKIN CUTE!  I can't believe their kindergarten year is coming to a close already...

Jackson is in the back row second from the right.  Josh is in the third row third from the right...

 These are the individual ones that they take and send home, then try to get you to buy.  I'm not sure if I will buy these or not, they don't wow me...

Weight Watchers Week 4

Results of Week 4:

Weight Lost: 3 pounds
Total Weight Lost:  11.5 pounds

I'm happy with how this week went, I feel good about my progress but it's also frustrating to see how far I still have to go.  22 pounds more would be nice, 32 would be ideal.  But if I can average 11 pounds a month then I'll have reached my goal in two to three more months!  I really like this program, it is so do-able.  I have definitely changed my eating habits, but I am not "dieting" or starving or depriving myself.  For example, I used to go to Wendy's and get their 10 piece chicken nuggets with ranch to dip.  Holy calories!  Now I get the 5 piece and either no dip or honey, and a side salad.  So I still am able to get the chicken nuggets (they're one of my fav fast food things) but I am able to do it a little smarter.  Don't get me wrong, it's not easy!  It's hard when I'm out and about and see people eating, or smell restaurants, or see the candy aisle at the grocery store (my favorite aisle).  But I love the mantra, nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.  SO true.  There are very few things that I've decided are worth the huge number of points.  However, two splurges that I never regret are Quiznos sandwhiches and Coldstone ice cream.  I save up my points and have no regrets  :)  Here's to another week!
