Happy 11th Birthday to my very special neice, Janessa!!!! You are the one who started it all.... you are the one who made me "Nanny" so for that alone you will always have a special place in my heart!! I hope today is as special as you are, kiddo!! I love you!!

Started weight watchers yesterday and as of this morning.... I am down 2 pounds!!! woot!!!! (it's actually more like 1 and a half, but either way, I'm excited!!!) I had planned on doing the shred to lose my final 20 pounds.... but since Jariah and Becca had the flood and had to move into Mom and Dads living room about a month ago.... I haven't had the space to workout!!! 5 kids take up alot of room!!! haha Soon they should be able to move back downstairs and things should start getting back to "normal"~~~~ as normal as things can be living with my parents!! lol

Our house building project is taking absolutely forever to get started.... I'm assured that once we begin it will be a quick process (I'll believe it when I see it! haha!) but the weather has not cooperated so far!!! The ground has either been completely frozen 3 feet deep or such a big soupy muddy mess that it's impossible to dig in. Zion's gotta get some trenches dug for plumbing then we can finally get the gravel, some pecs (for radiant heating) and finally the concrete. Once we get the concrete, it's supposed to be smooth sailing..... from what I've been told. (Again, I'll believe it when I see it. =P I grew up in a construction family in a house that we were building as we were living there..... I'm not as naive as people seem to think I am. ;) haha) Once we get it started, I'll be posting pictures of it on a regular basis!! =) But for now, here's a couple pictures some of the men in my life. =D
