Healthy



Back in August 2017, Wes and I started trying a healthy lifestyle. Through Wes' health insurance we were able to start a weight loss program. It's a really good program. The problem was, you had to have will power and motivation to do it. We sort of started in August. We did the bare minimum and didn't work very hard to lose.

Then in January, we committed to each other that we would hold each other accountable. To be an example for our kids, we decided that we really needed to be healthy. We started eating less and exercising more. Both of us noticed that our energy level has improved and we feel better. Wes has even stopped snoring. I've lost 20 pounds so far and Wes has lost 40.

We still have a ways to go until we are finished. But, I'm hopeful we have the skills and habits to stay healthy.

Blue Bonnets!

We took our annual blue bonnet pictures!





What We Have Been Up To!

Wow! It's been too long since I have posted. I guess I've gotten a little lazy. Thing have been busy in our house. The girls have enjoyed playing their instruments. Lizzie loves her fiddle; in fact, calling it her "most precious possession". Grace is learning more and more about the guitar. When she practices, she likes to make up her own songs. Twice now, the girls have performed at church. In addition to their stringed instruments, they have been involved with bell choir at church and choir. Lots of music in the house! We are very busy with church. The girls acolyte once a month.
 In February, Wes and the girls had a day off for President's Day. We decided to spend the night in Fort Worth. We went to the Stockyards and Billy Bob's. The girls loved dancing!




In March, we spent a couple of days in OKC for Spring Break. The rest of the week we stayed home. We went skating with friends one of the days.
In April, we took the girls to Oklahoma State University for the Vet's Schools open house. They had a blast and both want to be a vet.

Whew! That's gotten us up to April!
