Spring Weight Loss Challenge

Yup, that's right!  I am hosting a 6 week weight loss challenge!  Want to join up?  We are starting this coming Friday, April 15th, in Okotoks.  There is a $25 entry fee and there will be CASH prizes!  You thought I was going to keep the money, right??!!  I already have 16 contestants!  Yay!

I haven't posted on here about it, but I just WON a weight loss challenge in my sisters' town.  We teamed up and kicked some BUTT!  I lost a total of 47 lbs for the challenge, and I am down 58 lbs over all.   I'm not at my goal yet so bring on the challenge!
So this is me at Christmas.  Please take special notice of my chubby nose.
I've been told it's very skinny these days. 
Cause I need to lose weight off my nose, and not my butt, right??!!!



This is me at midpoint.  I don't think my nose looks skinnier. 
Maybe a bit crooked...?  Oh, and I cut bangs. 
Everyone commented on my hair color, and I guess I chopped off some bleached out bangs? 
This is me at my heaviest in the summer. 
Yup, there's that fat nose of mine! Sorry I don't have a current pic.

I am also very excited to start a running program with my friend Shannon and a few other ladies from my town.  My life is very busy lately!  I made it a goal to run a 1/2 marathon this year, and its going to happen!  So thank you to Shannon for putting together this running group!  I just got a great running jacket from Costco, so now I have an official reason to wear it!  Woot, Woot!

What else is new?  I don't know.  I might start to blog about my weight loss.  I don't have a secret.  I will tell anyone that asks.  I am exercising and counting calories.  Except not this week....Yah, cause I really missed ice cream and cookies this year...but, Friday is fast approaching!

So, that's what I am up to.  If you would like to join my challenge, you have to come to the weigh ins, but I would love to have you!

I should let you know, that I have a secret blog post hidden in my archives that I am to chicken to post.  It's all about losing weight and my struggle over the years.  Maybe someday.  But for now, this is it.  Enjoy!

CHEERS!

My new Business!

I've started a new business!  Yay!  I'm hoping to gain a social life and maybe a little spending money out of it.  We'll see how it goes!  I am a new consultant for Scentsy!  We love Scentsy at our house.  I have been a crazy consumer of these amazing wickless candles since the fall of 2009.  I decided to become a rep because I'm crazy!  LOL Check out my website to view my product line, and if you love it like I do and want to host a party so you can get your stuff for free, then give me a call and we will make it happen! 
My Scentsy Website


 And, I'm so crazy that I signed up for the August convention in Fort Worth!  I really better make a go of this, or else I'm just going to have a great girls weekend away!

Happy Birthday Wesley

This is the cake I destroyed!  
I tried to make my own fondant.  It didn't work so great.  :(
SSSSHHHHH!  Don't tell the birthday boy!  He didn't notice!



Here is the Birthday boy!  Isn't he cute!  We forgot to teach him how to blow out candles!
I guess that's something parents do with their first kids and forget to do 
with the last! 


His very own cake!  So exciting!


He knew just what to do!


Love you baby!

Super Update...What we did last year!

Peter turned 10!


 
Alex Turned 8!



We went sailing with Grama and Grampa Linteris

A little face painting...

And being weird with blueberries...

We took our cute little trailer all over Alberta and BC.  It guzzled our gas and we coasted through one pass on fumes, but we had a great time!

So cute...

Wes is a great camper... He sleeps anywhere.

We played at the river in Okotoks


Wes loves to swing!

And he started to crawl at five months!

We caught some minnows


And got muddy...

Swam in the Hot Springs

And sun bathed

Did a bit of yard work...


And we said good bye to Grampa Gus.

We rode the Gondola and climbed Sulfer Mountain in Banff..

And we got to see this rainbow from above Banff townsite.

Yrevor got a little crazy...

We went to walking with the Dinosaurs
We did some tubing
And had a great time.  We actually got a bit of sunny weather, too!


Harlee got new gear

 And had a birthday!  Guess who turned 3?

We camped with our cousins...




The boys went on MAN-CATION


And Levi turned 6!


 We played in the mud and started our fence.




Alex got Baptised




 We got a little crazy for Halloween.  The older boys were too fast to get caught on camera! Here is Trevor in his Minion costume.  (Despicable Me)
 Im a vampire!


 Gary and Matter.  Gary is FBI
 And Alisha is a baby.


Levi did great in his Christmas concert.  Even though we had a minor meltdown over wardrobe.

 We did celebrate Christmas but I guess my batteries were dead?
So there you have it.  Our year in Photos!
