Life

Our life has been somewhat busy. In June we had Mike's and Brooklyn's birthday. Mike's birthday was very low key. He had to work that day, so we did things that evening. We went out to eat and then we took the kids to the park to play. Since the next day we were leaving for a family reunion we didn't have any cake.
The next day was Brooklyn's birthday. We woke up that morning made breakfast and then left for the family reunion. It was down in Delta at Mike's parents house. There were ups and downs again. I was a bit bored but that is alright the kids had fun. I was going to go the the shoot out they had, but Xavier didn't want to be there. I think the worst part was cleaning up after people's meals. We were all assigned a meal and had to clean up after it. I think I cleaned up after 2 people other than myself. I didn't want to leave it for my mother in law to worry about. I will post pictures later. Though I only got pictures from the first day.
The week after was Brooklyn's 2 year old check up and I took Abigail in for her 4 year old check up. They are both growing but still really small girls. Brooklyn has a Umbilical hernia so we had to take her up to Salt Lake to have a pediatric surgeon look at it. She is scheduled for surgery on the 14th of this month. They said it is a very minor surgery which is good.
Xavier cut his first tooth this week and also started to like solids. He is rolling all over, he will get on his tummy and try to push up. He is still not wanting to sleep through the night. I try to let him cry it out but he just gets louder.
Mike and I set weight loss goal. We are goal is to lose a certain amount in a year and if we do, then we get to go on a vacation. He wants to go on a road trip with his brother down to Arizona and watch a football game. If I lose the weight I will go to Seattle to visit my sister and most likely my sister in law. My goal is to at least lose 20 pounds, but I will keep going if I can. I have worked out 3 times this week and have been cutting back on food. We are not going to eat out unless it is a special occasion or if we are heading to Delta around dinner time.
Well that is what is happening in our life now.
