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!

1st Bowling Fun!

This was Christian's first bowling trip he had lots of fun and threw lots of fits when it wasn't his turn! We all bowled very low scores because he wasn't the best of players! He even bowled in someone else's lane!

Tessa's Life Change

Well, I guess I did it! I am no longer going into Nursing because of a lot of issues that I really dont want to dicuss at the present time, but I have changed my Major to Elementary Education. I feel that it better fits me and will work out to my benefit in the long run. What I really want is to be a stay at home mommy but that cant happen right now, but this choice will allow me to have more freedom. So I feel really good about this and am very excited to start taking the education classes! That is about all for now!

Christian's 2nd Birthday!

Christian got Ali our new miniture Daschound for his birthday. He really loves this dog and carries him around everywhere. When the dog does something that he shouldn't then Christian tells him No he will take him outside to play with him and let him go potty. So he is really a good dog owner. Ali is 8 weeks old and we are having fun training him.

It was a fun day for all of us! We went to church and came home and ate dinner then played some games!

Happy Birthday Christian! Here he is Mr. 2 year old! He loves Winnie the Pooh so I made him a Pooh cake and he loved it! It took me forever to try to frost his cake the right way, the frosting was so soft it made it hard to do anything with, but this is the finished product, not too bad I can say!

School Starts!

Well school started last week and we made it through with a few bumps and scraps! Christian loves him new day care and doesn't want to leave when we go to pick him up! Ricky is taking 15 credits and loves all his classes (he has some great teachers! which is great!) Tessa is taking 14 credits and working full time. yes it is a heavy load but she is superwoman!!! We are currently trying to get on a waiting list for some really great townhouses that would be perfect for our little family. Tessa has been on this diet and exercise program for a month and had already lost 11 pounds and feels great! She has more energy to chase Christian around! Christian is the typical 2 year old being defiant at every turn and saying NO a lot! We are afraid we aren't going to make it through the TERRIBLE TWOS!!! So thats what is new! I will be posting pictures of Christian's Birthday party soon!
