Winds of change!!!!

We have had an eventful couple of weeks. Here is a rundown on whats been happening.

1. Justin and I are having a contest to lose weight, and have started a "get healthy plan". His sister's Liz and Ali wrote us a book (pretty much) on how to get started and have been helping me figure out how to make this happen. We are hoping to make a change in our life to focus on keeping the weight off, while also making a habit to eat and live healthier. It is long overdue, and surprisingly it's pretty fun. Also for Mother's Day I got a bike trailer/jogging stroller, somehow it's supposed to give me incentive to exercise, I haven't figured that part out yet. The boys look so cute in it, I just had to put a picture of it in.

2. I cut my hair. I have been wanting to for soooo long, but have always hated it when I did in the past. So I finally just did it and love it! I don't have any real good pictures yet, but here's something that somewhat shows it.

3. Alex is finally sleeping in his crib, in "the boy's room". He has been sleeping in a bassinet, next to our bed since he was born, and sadly was scrunched in there. I finally got so sick of it I was willing to put up with the crying. It went much better than expected and we have had two weeks of sleeping soundly through the night for all of us. I was so worried that Alex was gonna wake Izac up, but he sleeps through it all, thankfully. If I knew it was gonna go so well I would have done it long ago. What was I thinking??????

On a down note Justin's older sister was diagnosed with kidney cancer about a week and a half ago. It's scary, but there's so much hope. She will have surgery Wednesday to remove the mass, and hopefully, only some of her kidney. Our thoughts and prayers are with her.

We went to St George for Memorial Day weekend. My youngest sibling Krista graduated from high school Friday. Then it was my Dad's Dad's birthday and we had a get together, Saturday at their house. Then my Mom's Mom's birthday, we went to the cabin up Cedar City Canyon for a dinner and party Monday. Here are some pictures from our trip.

Izac at my uncle Richard, and aunt Linda's farm, we usually have to go there if we're anywhere near Cedar City.

Izac had his last day of preschool last Thursday. His teacher put on a great little program and we had lots of fun!!! We also went to the zoo with his school friends, the day we left for St. George.
