A New Puppy!

It was so exciting to bring our new little puppy home today and surprise our kiddos! He is 12 weeks old and his name is Chewy! The kids are all loving him and we have been told countless times how happy they are and that we are the best parents ever! I told the kids I was going to go pick up an early Christmas present for them and when I came home they were shocked and thrilled with their very own puppy! Lexy later told me that she couldn't believe it because she thought the present was gonna be "just a regular toy or maybe even a washing machine" she is too funny! So far the dog is very well behaved and just the cutest little guy! Welcome to the family Chewy!

Thinnest Winner!

For the last 10 weeks David has been participating in a weight loss competition at work. The buy in was $25 with first place taking home the grand prize of $500! Since I have known David (19 years) he has never really exercised and has never been on a diet. He says it was his first and last :) He ate a lot of veggies and ran on the treadmill most nights while we ate delicious fattening meals that he would be too tempted to be around. One night when my family was in town we had In and Out burger for dinner and David literally ran out of the house and around the block until we were done eating. He had such great self control and he is feeling healthy and a lot more energetic... plus he won FIRST PLACE so he is feeling richer too!!!! He lost a total of 27 lbs which was 11%. We celebrated by going out to Classic Burger for that much desired cheeseburger and milkshake- which left him sick the rest of the night!  Congrats Babe you look FANTASTIC!
