Pics to go with our latest posts

We got a jogging stroller! J.D. got this for me for Mother's Day and it arrived today. Dawson LOVES it! It had speakers for my ipod built into the stroller!! I can go on and on about the features, but I am stoked! Thank you hunners!

Another stroller shot! Dawson loves it the most that one speaker is right next to where his head is and he gets to recline and feel the wind in his face..or his feet ..


CHEESE! Dawson will often bring the camera to me and say, "picture of Dawson please mommy." I love it and as you can see he loves it too!

Here is the craft that I made thanks to my friend Jessica and her mom. You guys are awesome! I had so much fun at this craft night Jessica threw together. Her mom is amazing with crafts. This middle block will say 'Grand Children.' This is one Christmas gift down, lots more to go. haha! But it's only April and I have time to make the rest right??? :-)

AND here is my transformation...please remember that I tried to loose the baby weight for 2 years...I would shed a pound here and a pound there, but it was impossible no matter what I did to keep it off. When Dawson turned 2...some weight just naturally came off without doing anything...and then in January I really started working on it.

This is 3 months after Dawson was born. I had been working out for about 2 months straight in this pic and NOTHING! NO RESULTS! Talk about depression...
You might have to click on the pic so the the rippling rolls...it starts with my boobs (which were so saggy...), then my love handles, and then the hips and thighs...gross. I'm glad I have this pic to remember what I don't want again. haha!

And then...here I am today...
Drum roll.... here it is! 7 pounds from my goal weight and I feel so good about my transformation! Yes...my boobs are much smaller, but at least they don't sag as much! :-)

I changed shirts because black is always thinning. I wanted to have proof that it's not the color black! I really have done so good! NO RIPPLES of fat!

For the record, I have been wearing one pair of my high school jeans! They were my fat jeans in high school, but hey- I can't complain.

I hope this motivates my future girls that I may have that it is possible and there is hope. Babies are worth it. I hope this next time around I will not get so sick and be able to keep working out and not have so much to loose afterward.

Now I just want to take a bit of space to write about how hard it is to loose weight with a husband who is so kind and nice about loving me for me. I wouldn't change him for a husband who complains about my weight, but it is hard to stay motivated. lol! J.D. is truly the most amazing husband. I can't get enough of spending time with him. Some days I feel like a newly wed because I just want to see him all day long and be clingy. haha! Thank you hunners for loving me and for the jogging stroller!
