I havent had my doctor apointment yet but we had it confirmed on Saturday at the InstaCare, so we are thinking it will be about the end of June beginning of July! So then this makes us think about what we are going to do, so we have decided to move back up to Salt Lake City and go to the U of U so that we are closer to family! Wish us luck!

First Snow

This was the day we left for Colorado! Yes it was the first snow of the season but it didn't stay around too long by the time we got back it was all gone! Ali is in a sweater and jacket and if you notice the snow next to him was us trying to get him to go out and go potty before we left! We kind of had to drag him outside! Haha! Christian was loving it he kept saying Mommy NO! Which is snow in Christian language! Just like cool is school in his language. He also calls Grandpa Pockpock, Grandma is Oma, Unlce David is either D or Big D, Aunt Ameila is Mia or Mmmamma and Aunt Wanda is Onda!
It was cold but really pretty so it looks like for Christmas we will have snow! So those of you that are coming to my house for Christmas bring warm clothes!!!

Our Trip to Colorado

We had to take a trip to Grand Junction, Colorado this last weekend because Ricky's Grandmother passed away at 89 years old, so we went to the funeral. We stoped along the way and took some pictures of one of the view points on I-70 about 3 hours into the 4 to 5 hour drive there. What we are standing on is one really big rock! I had to get a picture of this cool tree, but Christian didn't want to be up in it so it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to! Oh well thats a 2 year old for you! All he wanted to do was play with rocks!
I am standing above them and they are on the edge of the rocks, behind them was a sheer drop! Yeah it freaked me out seeing my husband take my child up on that rock next to the edge!
Another picture of us above the spot the last picture was taken, but I have to admit that it was a beautiful day and view!
This is the whole family after dinner the night that we got to Colorado, we were all really tired and had a busy few days ahead of us! I think this is the first real family photo that we have sence David and Ameila's wedding, and Christain is not paying any attention! And look Deby is actually looking at the camera!
After the funeral which was very nice we all packed up said our goodbyes and left for home, we got back to Cedar City at about 7:30pm and Tessa went to work that night at 9:30 to 5:30am! Yes I was one tired and cranky mommy the next day!

Weight Loss Efforts

As some of you may know I (Tessa), have started a weight loss program with my doctor because I just wasnt feeling to great about myself. I have struggled with weight a good portion of my life and now I am doing something about it! So I started this program 2 months ago and my starting weight was 260lbs and as of my last weigh in with the doctor about the end of September I had lost 15 pounds! I am feeling great and getting much more active and I can actually chase Christian around without getting out of breath so fast! My clothes are getting to big for me which is AWSOME!!!! I have never felt so good about myslef in a long time! I just wanted to let you all know that!

Nap time

Alright, the other day we put Christian down for a nap and he had been sleeping for a few hours and I, Tessa, decided to go check on him. So I walk down the hall and carefully open his door, I walk in and look at his bed, No Christian. So then I think maybe he is under his bed cuz he likes to do that sometimes. Nope no kid, so then I am thinking to myself where in the heck is my child the window wasnt open and there was no one else in the apartment. So I continue to look around the room; not behind the door he likes to lay there too, not under his table and chairs, yes he lays there too! Then the thought came to me Look in the closet! So I go to open the closest door and who do I find? Well look for yourselves! Yes there is enough room in the closet for a dresser and a 2 year old!! He climbed inside his closet and closed the door! I have a video of it and I will post it on as soon as I figure out how to do it!

SUU Homecoming Football Game

We went to the SUU Homecoming Football Game, which they lost but could have won in the last 30 seconds of the game! But we wont get into that! We lots of fun there first off we went to the parade and got candy thrown at us! Christian had fun some girl from the parade panted his face! All and all it was a good day! We are having so much fun being on our own and getting involved in school spirit! I didnt know Ricky was taking this picture both of us are looking the other direction and Christian is picking his nose! GO SUU!
