Weight Loss

The dreaded weight loss. For the most part, the 32 pounds I have lost so far has been fairly doable. These last 5 pounds or so (my goal is 35 but I would like some cushion) is getting harder. I don't feel as disciplined as I was. I also know I tend to feel more hungry because I am eating less. I have to choose those foods that I know I should eat and stay away from the ones I shouldn't!

I pray that I can keep up and get to where I need to be! Vacation is going to be a tough one.

I do have a new restraunt I like though. Stir Crazy. Nick even enjoyed it for our anniverary night out. Kids eat free on Tuesdays and Thursdays and we think we found something on the menu each would eat.

More family ...

Dave, Libby and Reagan at Festa Italiana 2009

We had two weddings this summer. The first was Nick's brother David. The boys new Aunt - Auntie Libby (or Wibby as Reagan says) was at Festa with us. They will also be joining us in Florida in a few days.

Welcome to the family Libby ...

The Countdown

Will says 10 more days!

The kids are getting excited about our trip to Disney World. Will has Mickey Mouse ears written on the calendar and he is all about counting down to August 6th.

Reagan gets the concept but instead of looking at the calendar he keeps asking me if the clock is to the 6 yet!

We came up with a new idea to try and help Reagan out! So far it isn't working!

Our newest family members

Drew, Kari Jo and Me

My niece Isabel

On June 26th I became an aunt and a sister in law! My brother married Kari Jo at a beautiful outdoor ceremony near West Bend. Isabel was an adorable flower girl.

Please meet our newest members of the Dobson family ...

Thanks family

I think over the last few weeks I have realized just how important family is. I told Nick I was going to start a blog and I think he thought I was crazy and it was simply one more thing to add to the pile of things. Oh well ... I am going to give it the ole' college try!

I lost all my pictures of my kids off my hard drive, yes my fault, so I thought maybe this would be another way of saving some along the way!

Thanks for attempting to watch me as I journal a little about my forever family that I am very proud of and thankful to have!
