A Little Embarrassed

Okay, everyone...so, I'm a little bit embarrassed! When I started this blog on Monday I said I was going to keep it current! Well...you know how that goes. A good friend of mine e-mailed and wondered about my blog...stating that she had checked it and it hadn't been updated. Well...I'm going to keep it as current as possible!!!

We've had a busy week! After my women't bible study on Tuesday, we went over to my mom & dad's for lunch. German pancakes...mmmmmmmm good! Matthew & Jacob got to pick tomatoes - they LOVED that! Tuesday night I had a night out! Got to go and play Bunco - I actually had a pretty hot night - 3 Buncos, first Bunco & several wins. I won an awesome set of dish towells - really needed them!

Wednesday morning I took the boys to gymnastics. You should see Matthew swinging on the bars - just like a little monkey! Jacob loves the little balance beam and he's learning how to do a front roll. The boys LOVE it - it's an awesome place to take them when it's HOT outside! After that we went to the mall and TRIED to stroll around. Bath & Body Works had a HUGE sale...but, Jacob was so loud & fussy that I didn't get to shop long. Stopped at the play area on the way out - they seem to love that...(and, are sooooo quiet doing that!!)

Well, Thursday was my big follow-up doctor's visit that I had been kind of dreading. Got blood test results back - everything checked in GREAT except that my cholesterol was quite high. I was EXTREMELY encouraged to get back on Weight Watchers and lose the weight that I so easily put back on (after taking an entire year to lose 18-20 pounds!!!), and was also EXTREMELY encouraged to start walking in the evenings before going to bed. This in part to lose weight & firm up...and, to help with my sleeping issues. For those of you that don't know...I've been on sleeping medication for the last month or so...and am now supposed to be walking. I'm going to give it a try......

Picture this: Me, Becky, driving a 7800 cab tractor, Matthew sitting beside be, Jacob on my lap sipping soda, me with Binky in my mouth (Jacob thought I needed it!!!), baling square haybales for my sweet husband, Rob, who is on the wagon in the back picking up the bales as they come out of the baler. After about 2 rounds...Jacob had obviously had enough. Thank goodness Rob's Dad finally showed up! I actually finished the field, Rob said I did really good...and, I had a great time! Can you believe it???

I hope you all have a GREAT weekend!
Becky
