New Chucks

While we were out shopping on Saturday we stopped by the shoe department at Kohls to get Joely some new "Chucks". We sat down on the floor to try on new shoes (Corey insisted on velcro...gag...thankfully he was overridden on that one, we might as well get him some sleeveless shirts to go with that velcro...I think not). After we got the right fit, I slipped the new shoes off of his feet and started putting the old ones back on. You can guess what happened next, he threw himself on the floor and started screaming. I guess even boys like wearing their new shoes out of the store! So Coach store on Friday, new shoes on Saturday...I have a glimmer of hope that he actually might be able to do some shopping with me. Then we go to Wal-Mart...all hope is gone, he seriously acts just like his Dad with even the mention of the word Wal-Mart.

I really do want to blog...

so much so that I just tried to update the blog with Corey's iPad. No such luck, thank goodness for the trusty laptop!

HCG diet is about 2 weeks from being done. Thankfully I'm finished with the starving part now I'm on no sugar, no starch for 3 weeks then I'm DONE! I've lost a total of 9 pounds in 3 weeks, not too shabby! I'm comfortably in the 130's and super happy about it. I'm contemplating doing another round in a year or so to get comfortably in the 120's but as of right now I'm thinking there's not a snowballs chance!

My girlies are on spring break. Ash is just finishing hers up and Aly just started hers. Unfortunately preschool and elementary school are not on the same calendar. Fortunately that worked to their advantage this year! Ash is on her way home from Orlando as I type. She tagged along with my parents and my brother and sister. My Dad had a trade show there so it was the perfect opportunity for Ash to get some one on one time with Grandma & Grandpa. The pics are on facebook, I'll have to tag myself so you all can see them.

Yesterday I spent 13+ hours on the road to meet my Mom half way so that Aly could spend her spring break in the Big D, Dallas that is. So far I think she's having a blast because we have not heard from her. She's got a busy Gigi and Aly week planned as well as a cousin campout, day with Aunt Jessy and I think a trip to the American Girl store. The trip should have taken me about 11 hours but Joel and I had a little detour at the Lake...he wanted to get out and stretch his legs...at the Coach outlet! How could I deprive the baby of stretching his legs?

So Corey and I got to go to Tulsa for "spring break" aka children's ministry conference and the girls get Florida and Texas. Somehow this does not seem fair! I think a Corey and Jenn trip to the Caribbean should be in order (hint hint, but I'm going to need a new passport).

I've got lots of pics to show, just have to quit being lazy and transfer them to the computer. Too bad my sony cybershot memory card doesn't fit into my laptop or I would've downloaded the pics a month ago. I've got lots of great pictures from the girls dance competition a few weeks ago. They are having so much fun competing!

Until next time...
