Harvest Lunch

Today I skipped out of work early to go have lunch with Zachary at school. They invited the parents to come have lunch with the kids to celebrate the upcoming holiday. We had turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, corn bread, and cranberry sauce. For dessert, we had pumpkin pie:)

Operation Homefront

The Company Store donated 10,000 comforters to Operation Homefront for military families. I took the kids to pick one out this afternoon. Surprisingly, they both picked the same one.

Mama Wants her Body Back...Again

Today was my final assessment for the second Body Back class. Although I didn't do as well in the assessments as I had hoped (because my side was still hurting), I still got good results.
I started Body Back at the end of July. Over 16 weeks, I went from 167.6 pounds to 148 pounds, a 19.6 pound loss! I lost another 7.25 inches, for a total of 17.25 inches off my body. I went shopping over the weekend for new work pants and I bought a size 4! I have never worn a size 4 pants in my life. I can't believe the transformation. I really want to do another session, but I think it's time to take it easy. I will, however, be doing the 3-week Body Back maintenance class over the month of December to be sure I don't gain a lot of weight during the holidays:)

A Day at the Zoo

Today we enjoyed a day off at the zoo.We met up with a few moms from one of our meetup groups for a bear themed mommy meetup. We spent the rest of the morning walking around the zoo. Kailani wanted to have her very own photo shoot. I love days off! We've got to make it through four more days this week and then we've got a week off for Thanksgiving:)

Broncos Make it to the Q-Bowl!

This morning the Broncos had game 3 of the playoffs and they won 12-0! After a win, the boys always do their "huka" dance. I wasn't able to record it, but I got a picture of them all lined up. Next weekend is the Q-Bowl; the championship game. After next week, cheer season will finally be over.

After the game we headed to the library for a book signing with author Kate DiCamillo. She is famous for writing The Tale of Despereaux and Because of Winn-Dixie. Kailani loves meeting authors. She picked out a picture book (to read now) and a chapter book (to read when she's older). She was very excited to pose for a picture with the author.

 

Broncos did it again!

Today was round 2 of the playoffs and they pulled it off. The boys won 14-0. Kailani is so excited that her team may win the championship game. The third round is next Saturday and the following weekend is the QBowl!

Park Fun

Kailani is really into the monkey bars right now. She comes home from school with blisters on her hands and keeps going back for more. She's been begging to go to the park near our house for a few days because there are monkey bars there. On the way home tonight we stopped at the park for a few minutes and she was able to have her fill of the monkey bars:)
