First Camping Trip of the Season

Jason decided last minute to go camping with friends this weekend. We were just going to go visit but ended up camping instead. It was lots of fun and a beautiful day until about 1:30am when I thought for sure our trailer was going to take flight. Sunday morning we got up, hurried to eat and packed up and just barely left right as the snow started moving in!

My Weight Loss Journey

I started working on losing weight Jan 1st. Late January I bought me some cute shorts and a tshirt a size smaller than what I normally wear. I tried them on then. The shorts fit pretty well (yay) but the shirt was very snug and I felt stuffed in it. As I was doing laundry today hanging up clothes I came across it again and pulled it out to try it on just for the heck of it. It fits! The only really snug part is in the arm but it FITS! I'm seriously beyond excited!!!

I am down about 12lbs.. not a huge loss yet but baby steps!

Another Griffin update

We had an ultrasound done on the lump on his leg today at Primary's Children hospital this morning. It's what is called a bakers cyst which is most likely from him getting hurt (doing what, I'm not sure) and caused the fluid to accumulate behind the knee. His reg pediatrician called and said that it should eventually heal on its own and that we can cancel our appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. I'm so relieved! I wish I knew what triggered it but at least we know now what it is!

Griffin's First day of Preschool

went really well.

He's been SO excited since we got his back pack. He carried it everywhere and even slept with it last night.


This morning he couldn't decide WHAT to wear... I finally steered him away from buzz light year jammies to regular pants and shirt lol.


Tristan was good til it really dawned on him that we were dropping Griffin off with out him. He cried and cried that he'd miss him and refused to walk up to the door to drop Griffin off.

Gman did SO good going with his teacher. He just gave me one look to make sure it was ok he left and off he went! We went to the gym while he was in and tristan wanted to go pick him up right after but we had another hour to wait. PIcked him up and he was excited to see me but more excited to see Tristan. They had a note in his bag that said he did participate in the calendar time. He picked sand table and painting during centers. Played with his friend Ashlynn (never met her lol and she's the only girl in his class). And he had oranges for a snack and that he was happy today. so over all it went really well! I didn't cry either just got a little misty when he left.
