I'm Lovin' It......

This week I am lovin' my new blog design! If you are wanting to give your blog a new look I highly recommend my designer- Jaime. She is the mother of two adorable kids, works part-time, is in the process of building a new house, and enjoys doing blog design in her "spare" time! She was so patient as she walked me through the entire process (via multiple emails), and had the design complete in less than a week. I absolutely love the new look! So, what are you lovin' today? Click on over to the Tidy Mom blog to join the I'm Lovin' It party! See ya there......

Making Progress

I am offically down 33 lbs. Woot! This makes me so happy! However, I still have about 10 more to lose in order to be at the lowest weight I have been since having Mackaylan, and 20 more to get to my ultimate goal. I would love nothing more than to reach my goal by my wedding anniversary, May 25th. That means losing about 2 lbs. a week. A lofty goal, but one I am willing to work hard to obtain. I'll keep you posted.......

Wordless Wednesday

Sisters Say the Darndest Thing

My sister and her family gave Mackaylan the Ms. Pott's Talking Tea Set for her birthday. Now, you must know that my sister lives in a household of boys, and it has been a while since she has watched any Disney movies, but I couldn't help but burst out laughing when she rushed over to me at the party and said: "Lana, please tell me that the tea set isn't already broken?" "What's the matter with it?" I asked. "There is a chip in the cup," she explained. Needless to say, after recovering from a fit of laughter, I explained to her that the tea set was perfect and that the little chip in the cup is exactly where it should be (hence his name- Chip!) Sisters- they sure do say the darndest things!

Wedding

This past weekend we had a big wedding in our family. Mackaylan was asked to be the flowergirl and was looking forward to the big day for months! She enjoyed wearing the dress, and fixing up for the occasion, but when it was time to fulfill her "flowergirl obligations" she backed out. We were all very surprised because she is not one to be afraid of the spotlight!! She loves to sing in the children's choir at church and dances in an auditorium with hundreds of people without a second thought. Anyway, the show went on and Mackaylan sat with us on the front row and waved to the other flowergirl from the sidelines. The wedding ceremony was beautiful and we all had a great time at the reception! Here are a few pics from the big day!
