Sorry no pictures.

So I have no pictures right now, but I do plan on added some later today or tomorrow. I just had a few minutes to write a quick note. So I joined a weight loss challenge and it laster for 7 weeks. I went to the finale weigh in last night and even though I did not win anything I did lose 20.8 pounds and 14 inches total. I am very proud of myself and I am going to keep on going. I have so much energy and I just feel better about myself. I think the competition was rigged though. I am not saying this because I did not win anything but the person who won is a 10 year old boy. The winner was based on body fat % lost not the actuall pounds, but can you lose 5.5 % body fat total and only have lost .1 pounds. I don't think so, but if it is possible then good for him. The garden is going great, we have been enjoying strawberries, cucumbers, crooked neck squash, rasberries, peas, and tomatoes. We have also enjoyed some of the potatoes in the field next to our house. We are so blessed to be able to grow such a great garden and enjoy the yummy fresh produce. Well got to go take the kids to swim lessons, just two more days and we are done. I will post again later today or tomorrow with some pictures.

Visit to Malta!

We went to Malta this last weekend and stayed with Richard and Marlenes Family. Here is a picture of Dyllon, Lilly, Brianna, Matthew, Jesse, and Zeb. We had lots of fun playing in the creek and sprinkler and Jesse and Matthew road the little yellow fourwheeler. I didn't get a piture of them though on it.

Brianna and Lilly played so well together.

HE IS SO TALENTED!

We are so blessed with the talent Robert has been blessed with. He is great to have around and can do and fix anything. We love him so much. He dicided to weld a swingset together for the kids this summer and they love it. He even welded the glider together. He made up the design in his head and it all worked out great. Our kids love it. Matthew especially loves the monkey bars. He can already skip one in between when going across. I really think he is part monkey sometimes with all the climbing he does.

This is a picture of our tomato plants and we have strawberries too!

Our Garden! We have a few types of squash, onions, peppers, lots of corn, and lots of peas. And we are even trying an artichoke plant. I like artichokes but Robert does not. We have already been harvesting lots of peas, and when the farmers are done spraying the potato field next to us, we will soon be eating yummy peas and potatoes.

WE SAW BIGFOOT!

On the way home from the zoo, we saw BIGFOOT the Monster Truck. The kids thought it was pretty cool. We even went inside the tire store and got a autographed picture from the driver himself. It was fun to see Matthew's face. He was grinning from ear to ear.

This is the semi that carries Bigfoot.

The Zoo

Yesterday we decided to go to the Pocatello zoo. We had lots of fun with the kids. Here is a picture with them and a coyote in the background. The animals were awesome to see. We saw a black bear, a grizzley bear, and lots more. We loved it!

We also had a picnic before gonig through the zoo. We saw this squirrel and Robert fed it a frito chip. He loved it, and we loved watching him eat it. It was pretty fun.
Me and Brianna!

Playing at the Park

I have been watching a boy a few days out of the week and we decided to go to the park and have a picnic. I did not take very many pictures and this is the only one that is really worth putting on here. They had lots of fun and I know we will be going to the park more often this summer. I also had my niece Lexie with us.

Swimming Lessons

Matthew, Brianna, Lexie, Dyllon, and Skler after swim lessons.

Matthew and Brianna started swim lessons on Monday and we car pool with my niece and nephew. I am also watching a neigbhors kid, Skler for the summer so we take him with us to. They are all having lots of fun and they all love the water.
