6 more Lbs

Just in case your wondering I am winning this bet, I have 6 more lbs to lose to get to my goal of shedding those 20 lbs off!!!! I have been working my butt off but since I have till Christmas I will try for a little more I don't want to be to skinny just lose this baby weight... you all know what I mean. I am sore alot and tired but I am not giving up I have been doing this for awhile and I love to see it melt away I feel alot like my old self not pre kids cause I was like 110 lbs I don't want that maybe the lowest I would go is 155 cause I am 5 foot 7 I need a little meat just toned meat....lol

On a different not my oldest is going to be a deacon this coming Feb and he already went to a pre class and answered questions and just the thought of that brings tears to my eyes I always wanted a girl but now that I see what my boys will be able to hold and do I couldn't ask for more. I talked with them last night and asked them what they wanted and they both want to go on a mission and yes things might change but for now that couldn't sound so sweet. I said to Jon 4 down and two to go to wash them clean what a feeling as a father to be able to do that (cause keep in mind he also did mine and his girls) so Jonathan has another year and Jadon awhile but I feel I was given boys for all the right reason's and I love them all differently for all the sweet things they bring to me and teach me.... Not only that but we have 3 boys to keep the Newman name alive.

That still small voice

Well I was suppose to go to my Grandpa's 80Th B-day on sat. night and we were going to leave on Friday night spend some time with my Step dad (which by the way I call dad) My father died two years ago. Anyway his father just passed away last week and I wanted to be there for him but when we had everyone in the car said the prayer and hit the road right before we got on to I-40 I had a feeling we should not go, which by the way I have had before and I have always listened but this time I just said to Jon "I have a feeling we need to stay" and he pulled over and told me he hasn't going to go any where if that's how I felt... Which I was so happy my husband didn't question me and that he knew I wouldn't have said that if it wasn't true. But on the other hand this one night my whole family was going to be together but me which I felt like crap but they understood, but it didn't make me feel any better and the Quick death with my own father and now my Dad's I worry about my Grandpa he is okay but his heath is a worry! But who am I to question the spirit? I really wanted to be there but not welling to put my family or myself in harms way or anything else that could have happened. I am so Thankful for that still small voice that guides us and protects us. And believe it or not that night Jon said he had a feeling but didn't want to tell me but he said once I said it , it confirmed how he felt. That tells me we are ONE and we feed off each other. I am very sad but I also know that in a couple of weeks I will go back to see him and my Dad. I thank God for what he has allowed us to have and be blessed with if only we take the time to listen! It might not be what we want to hear! But we are blessed to have that just like our prayers we may not get the answer we want or when we want it but that's not how he works and I have come to realize who am I to question the reason's? I am suppose to believe in him to guide me in the straight and narrow and that's what i did..I hope anyone that reads this can stop and think about your own blessing's and be thankful when you can look around and see your wonderful family and all that he has given to us...

Love it....

School Starts

Okay so as many of you know I have been waiting for this day to come not because I want my boys to be away from me but it has just been a really long summer and I feel like we all need a break from each other, plus this will give me more time to potty train Jadon alone.... So tonight I cut the boys hair, nails and got there clothes already and they cant wait I even put a alarm clock in there room for the first time we will see how this works! We said our thankfuls and blessing like we always do and they are so happy to meet new friends and Daddy already gave them both a blessing so I feel really good about this year! Here are the boys right before they went to bed!
I will have alot more to say after they come home and tell me how there day went and of course I will take pics of them in the morning...I can't get over I have one in 6th grade and the other in 1st I'm getting old lol
