Easter!

For easter this year we went to one of Caseys old college friends (Pooyan) house. Pooyans friend from Utah came down and we made some steaks and played around on his basketball hoop he just put in. During dinner we all expierenced an earthquake aftershock. It was pretty cool. We also went to my Grandma Milius' house to do an easter egg hunt with the cousins... well, my cousins, but they are the same age as Kai so technically I call them his cousins. Here are a few pictures of my little man. He did such a good job finding all the eggs.

Good morning Kai!

Haha.... So about a week ago I go in to get Kai out of his crib and he is of course blabbing to himself like he normally does in the morning. When I look in his room I see this....



So I start talking to him and realize he's not moving from his position. Just looking up at me and smiling. I try and pull him up and yep... he's stuck.




Haha... poor kid. I pull his leg out and it was swollen :( Don't worry it went away after about 10 minutes. He was a good sport.



And then the day proceeded as normal from there....

Thank heavens for boys :)

Noah Bean

So here are some updated new pictures of Noah! Oh and by the way we blessed him today :) Casey did an amazing job and thanks to all the family who came out! We didn't take any pictures sadly :( OH AND!! I got my patriartical blessing today too and I must say it was AMAZING! I have waited too long to get that :) Anywho.... Here are some pictures.

Getting older....

Ever since Kai has been a baby I like to take pictures with him. Its fun to see him grow and get a few snapshots along the way :) Especially since sometimes we run out of things to do while dads at work. Looking at these I can't believe how big he's gotten. I still can't tell who he looks more like. What do you think?

Day 3..... not so fortunate

SO day 3 rolls around and no.... it's not a good morning. Maybe its the taco bell I caved into last night for dinner or maybe it's the lunch at the oh so delicious costa vida with my friend today... I don't know. I woke up back at 135...... it's ok. tomorrow is another day and I have had my mexican fix..... Softball is tonight with my cousin Candice and I may just go play to burn some extra calories :) We shall see! I'll keep you posted!! Till then.....

Day 2

I'm now 132.8!!! The food was horrible I must say... well at least the raw broccoli. I can't stand the little thingies that are at the top of the tree. They make me gag. Seriously I have been jumping up and down all morning. Now off to Turbo Jam fat burner. That's all I am going to say because I am so happy. Let's see if tomorrow I go another 3! Doubt it but hey who knows? And I said I was putting the scale away but I can't....

7 day detox diet- Day 1

Not that you have to read this but I am starting a 7 day detox diet that is supposed to help me lose a lot of weight healthily~ if thats even a word :) so I'll be able to keep it off. I am basically blogging about it every day to kinda keep a journal and also keep me motivated, so please bare with me :) For those of you who are interested (and still reading) the website is called 7daydetoxdiet.com. It comes with a grocery list and also a 7 day meal plan to not only detoxify your body but also to help you lose weight. I mean how could you not lose weight by going from eating soda, cookies, frozen foods, and sugary stuff and snacking throughout the day to eating strictly whole organic foods? I along with this am taking the slimquick pills. The commercial looked cool and I read a lot of good reviews about it so what the heck, why not? I actually started the slimquick pills yesterday and I have noticed that they make me not hungry AT ALL. I literally ate half of one of the most amazing steaks I have ever had and that was IT. Yes, I lost a pound and a half yesterday but I can thank not eating for that. SO in a way I can say that the pills are working in suppressing my appetite :) They also gave me a tremendous boost of energy. Can't complain about that either. As far as my detox plan is going, so far eh. Luckily I am taking these pills or I would be absolutely starving right now. The foods actually sound delicious, you just don't get to eat a lot of them. Due to the pills I actually couldn't even finish my breakfast of 1/2 an apple and a piece of bread and couldn't finish my snack which was 1/8 cup of almonds. I am moving onto lunch here in about 30 minutes and the thought of a half apple some broccoli and 1 cup lentil soup actually sounds like a lot of food to me. Not to mention all the water you HAVE to drink with every meal and snack. I guess this is a good thing :) I actually feel great inside. But then again it's only been a few hours. Starting this I weigh 136.2 in the morning before anything. I have a horrible habit of weighing myself about 35 times a day so I am putting the scale away for the week! My goal is to eventually get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 120.... I could settle for 125 tho. I noticed I was a little too skinny. But mainly this week I am hoping to lose 7-10 pounds to get me over my hump of pregnancy weight I have put on (and lose the belly). After Kai I only got down to 134.2 before I found out I was pregnant again. I couldn't lose the weight for anything so hopefully this time around is different. Wish me luck and I'll be posting again soon!
