Happy Birthday, Mom
Happy Birthday, Mom!!!!
Today is my mom's birthday and we are going to lunch and a movie. This week, Logan and Alexis have been down while on Spring Break. We haven't really done a lot since I have to work, but working from home lets me start early so I can finish early.
I took Alexis, Ashley and Skylar to the playground on Easter and they seemed to have a lot of fun. Here's the 3 of them coming down the slide.
ps: Skylar had white shorts on under her dress

Fit or No Fit??
My goal this year was to loose 30 lbs before my Wedding in August. Well, I started Weight Watchers and I've lost 60 lbs on it a couple of years ago; but I had gained about 20 lbs back. To be honest, I haven't been doing well on WW this time...I just can't get motivated to stick to the diet.
For some reason, every time I go to exercise, I gain weight. I've been doing water aerobics 3x week for the past 2 months and it isn't helping me loose any pounds. I can tell a difference in my waist line but not in how much I weigh. My arms are getting muscular and I don't want to look like a man in my Wedding Dress.
I've lost 8 lbs in 2 months and that is not good according to my dieting standards. Today, for fun, I decided to try on my Wedding Dress. I thought to myself that if it was too tight that would get me motivated since I only have 5 more months until the BIG DAY.
Well, I tried it on and Mom was able to zip it with no problems and it actually felt good around my waist. I still need to loose 10 or 20 lbs in 5 months...I mean it's only 4 lbs a month for the 20.
Wish me luck on my diet and I think I'm really going to try really hard to loose this weight.

Deciding Delegates
I have to admit that I'm not a political buff; however, I do try to keep up-to-date with the presidential race this year. I guess I'm more interested this year because a woman is running for president.
I read something very interesting this morning. I understand Florida and Michigan broke the rules and held their polls early, so really no one won those states. The problem with this is that all states have voted and neither democratic party has enough delegates to win the ballot.
What was so interesting that I read was John McCain did receive 57 delegates from the Florida Primary; but Hilary Clinton didn't win any delegates...Why is that? Can someone that understands politics explain this to me? This is the exact footnote:
• Florida lost all of its 210 Democratic delegates for allocating delegates outside of the Democratic National Committee-approved timeframe
• Florida lost 57 of its 114 Republican delegates for allocating delegates outside of the Republican National Committee-approved timeframe
If Hilary Clinton could take half the delegates like McCain did; well, she'd still be just 79 delegates behind Obama. What about Michigan though? Again, Michigan did the same thing. The republicans got half the delegates for voting early; but the democrats didn't get any. I just want to know why this is?

Clinton vs Obama
Well, the Democratic race is coming to a close and it is a very close race. Last I looked, there were only 83 delegates separating the two with Obama in the lead.
Here's my choice for 2008:

Our Family Tree
I've been playing around on Geni.com and have created my family tree. It's a pretty neat site and very easy to use. Just hope you remember your family information better than I do. I know dates; but not years.
Here's my family tree.

A Day in the Clouds
Since we have Logan this weekend; we decided to go up to Cloudland Canyon. One reason is that I wanted to take our engagement picture up there and also I really like it up there.
So, yesterday, we decided to take the kids(Logan, Ashley and Skylar) up there. It was really nice weather and we had fun up there. We took lots of photos and here's just one of the kids.
I think we got our engagement shot...if you want to see the picture; check out our Wedding Web page.
