Love you all!

Okay so when it comes to the computer I'd like to say that I knew my way around and at one time I did but... I am no longer savvy! I just discovered the comment thing. Seriously you all left such kind comments. I thank you! Today was a great day as I went shopping I desperately need clothes I didn't come home with much and that is okay. But what I did come home with was my own personal inspiration. I guess what I mean is I came away tonight with self confidence back. It has been so long since I looked in the mirror and liked what I saw. I am feeling better with my health and love that I can run 2 miles without stopping. It has been a long road to travel but a Journey I have loved.

I want to thank you all for your encouragement and support as this is from time to time a tough road to travel.

A little something for you to see!

oops picture was deleted from the correct order. Tanner and Renee playing at the first park we played at on Saturday.
Okay so this is an old picture of me taken when I was visiting family in California for my Grandmothers funeral. I had a few people ask me to post pictures of me now. Since August I have been working hard to get weight off. I have been loving every minute of it. I know that people say it is hard but for me it hasn't' been easy but lots of fun! In all of this I have truly learned a lot about my self and what is really important. I love getting up 2 days a week at 5:20am to get ready for class and am very proud to say that on my own I get up Saturday am before my family is up and exercise for 1hr and 1/2. I have change my eating habits drastically and have now since August lost 45lbs. I still have lots to loose but that is okay for me. I LOVE IT! So below is the newer improved me. It really is me. Go ahead and look.
TaDA! See I love me. I just love looking at this picture accept I still critique it. But you know what they say you are your worst critique. Thank you to all who support me on a daily basis. I love you and you know who you are.





Jeramie got this picture just as all these birds flew on the water.

Daddy had President's Day off so we thought we'd go for a hike. But the place we went to had many inches of snow still on the ground. Since the trails were covered in snow we had a picnic lunch at a park in Forest Grove by Tanner's swim center. The kids found the tree and had fun climbing it.


Our little fish in the water. He loves swimming. Tanner saw the big dudes in the water and decided he wanted to do swim team later when he is older.
This is a great picture of Tanner on his back. He is floating with out help from his teacher. Great Job Tanner. Tanner had some difficulties with the backstroke. He is doing it. We are proud of him.
