church!

So today the new Hollister store opens and I begin a normal schedule. I am getting Sundays off finally so I will be able to go back to church. I've missed everyone and I've missed church too. I should get every sunday off from now on. Thank Heaven, literally I guess. I'll see you all Sunday.

Lara's Update!

*So as most of you know I've been trying to loose weight for the past 3 months with diet and exercise the good old fashioned way. Well after a lapse for the Disneyworld trip I am back on course. Oh it was a wonderful lapse though with burger, fries, ice cream, and no working out. thankfully we were walking all day long in the hot sun so i didn't gain any weight. I also didn't loose any. Well as of today my total weight loss it 17.2 lbs. I am so happy. I am almost to my goal. Only 7.8 more lbs and I'll have lost my goal of 25 lbs. I think that is awesome. there have been hard times and easy times but all in all it has been going great. It is diffentaly worth it. Especially when I put on my old clothes and they look huge on me. I've dropped 2 sizes in pants and dresses and 2 inches in my waist and as a side effect my boobs have also gone down a size but I am willing to pay the price so long as they don't shrink anymore.

Well heres to the next 7.8 lbs!

Our Disney world trip!

So I'm sure everyone wants to seem so photos from my trip. So I've organized some of the photos by our days and what parks we were in. We went to all the disneyworld parks and then to wet&Wild. We had so much fun I can't even believe it. I want to go back so bad. It was just perfect and magical. So the first 3 days we were by ourselves just our family. We went to Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Shopping and Wet n Wild. Wet and Wild was fun. It had a little park with 10 slides just for Kaysen size people along with a mini lazy river and wave pool for kids.
then Our good friends Kevin and Malana came and we spent the last 3 days with them at Animal Kingdom, Magic kingdom, and Epcot. Kevin suprised Maland with the trip a few days before and she had no idea we were there until we "bumped" into her at the park. As soon as she saw us she screamed and turned and walked the other way for like five minutes. We practically had to chase her down. It was so funny. I think she was happy to see us though. We had so much fun with them. I had the best time ever. Enjoy our photos.

Epcot Day 6!

John's favorite place. Germany in Epcot.

don't mind me I'm just enjoying my schnitzel, sauerbrauten, rocough (i don't remember how to spell it but it's my favorite), knoodle, sauerkraut, brautwurst, and many other yummy things.

This if us in the german buffet. It was authenic and yummy.

Our goal is to all meet in 2011 in real Germany. We went in 2006 minus Malana but it just didn't feel complete without her there

Magic Kingdom day 5!

So this is love, da da da de da da da de!!!!!

The best week ever!

I think this is how it works. I wisk him off his feet and carry him to the tallest tower to live happily everafter.

Animal Kindgom Day 4!

Kaysen and his Malana.

Despite the face Kaysen was so happy and only cried once the whole trip and that was because he bit his finger. This is Malana my amazing friend.

You give him 1 shot and he's tipsy sheesh! Just kidding he is just blinking (I think). we are getting ready to watch the lion king show. I think it was one of my favorite show out of all the parks. I think John looks super hot in this photo.

Just chillin in the animal kingdom waitng for our turn to go on the mt. everest roller coaster.

We are on a safari looking for animals but luckily we didn't have to look too far because the wild and rare kevin is seated right next to me. This is Kevin, John's best friend and mission compaion. his wife Malana (we actually introduced Kevin and Malana on a blind date and they got married).

Day 2 Disney Hollywood studios!

Kaysen could hardley wait his turn. he ran up to mike and sulley and hugged them both.

I'm pretty sure this is every boys dream to meet Lightning McQueen.

We watched a cute live playhouse disney show with all the characters. Kaysen's favorite is Qunicy but he wasn't avaliable to meet so Leo and Annie made up for it.

Magic Kingdom Day 1!!!

Kaysen loved Buzz Lightyear. Buzz shot Kaysen's gun and Kaysen said buzz was cool.

Happiest family in the happiest place on earth.

Getting ready for the park day one and then for a short tennis match afterwards.

We are ready for a week of fun!!!

don't his eyes just look like any dream you every have could be possible. I think he got what he wished for.!

What we've been up TO!

Well it has been a busy few weeks. Work has been going great. I really like it. I feel like I am alway busy and always have something to do which is great and is what I wanted. Kaysen is liking preschool more and more. He gets to do a lot there and whenever we drop him off all the teachers and kids say "Hi Kaysen". They really like him.
John is finishing up finials this week. Only two more. This semester went better than last so improvement is always good. John has been looking for a summer job. But if he doesn't find one our plan is to put Kaysen in preschool for the mornings and then john will review all the stuff he learned this year everymorning so he will be better prepared for boards and next year.
My diet is going so so. With this big change in my life it has been hard to find the time and energy to work out and food temptations seem harder to pass by. I am still loosing weight but it is a lot slower pace. I've lost a total of 17 lbs so far. It is awesome but you know how you get your mind set on things and when they slow down it kind of gets you depressed. Well I am kind of feeling bad about the slow down in weight loss but i should just be happy that it is going slowly down instead of slowly up.
well We get to go on vacation soon so I am so excited for that. We are really going to enjoy it especially because John will be done with school and I will be getting a break from working.
sorry this post is boring but I don't really have anything too cool or funny to write about.
