Kayla got her photos taken by her good friend- Merrick White. She is
so precious. She just turned 2 months old.
She is a BIG eater. She is such a calm and happy baby. Just like Maxson was!
She looks so much like Maxson-
What a blessing she is- I know Kayla loves having her little girl!!!!!
Can you believe how much hair she has? Matt blessed her at church this past Sunday.
It was beautiful. The words were touching.
Matt is graduating from BYU this April. I know that might mean that they will move. I can't even think about it. It would be so hard. Maxson has a very special relationship with his PaPa (Ty). I've never seen a child so cute with a grandparent. I hope they stay close because I think Ty and Maxson have a very special bond. I suppose all parents wish this. Right?
So many good changes in our family. McKay is deciding where to go to college. She has been accepted to UVU, SUU and Westminister. She got full ride scholarship to UVU and partial scholarships to the other two schools. She is waiting to hear from one more college and then she will make her decision.
Kits are being prepared for my visit NEXT WEEK to Scrapbook Island in San Jose and EMI SCRAPBOOKING in March. I am so blessed to have Taylor and Spencer who help me kit. Taylor knows how I do the kits and kits them beautifully. This way I can focus on designing instead of kitting for days. ha!
TODAY is a big day for me. It has been 8 WEEKS today of no sugar, carbs or processed food. I have not deviated one time. It is MUCH easier now. I weighed today and I have lost 25 lbs. Okay...that is crazy!!! I have been very consistent in losing about 2-3 lbs. each week. I ran into a lady today who asked me about the program that I am doing. She said she could NEVER do it! I know where she is at. I was there. I know how it feels to think I can't CONTROL this one thing in my life. It has ME! I did not have the motivation to truly make the CHANGE in my life. I had settled. I was just as happy 8 weeks ago as I am today. I honestly knew my health issues would get better if I made some serious changes. I wish I had done it sooner, but the reality is that I was not ready. Motivation is so important. How in the world do you "get" motivated when you don't feel it? I am now...but I have to be honest I wasn't for a very long time. I think for me, it's always forever going to be a battle. The key is to love yourself EVERY single step of the way.
I still have NO FEELING in my left foot. Sciatica will not rule my attitude though. I'm still working out and I will do what I can until the feeling comes back. I know it's crazy. I truly think it was a blessing. I know that sounds CRAZY! It slowed me WAY down for an entire month and I decided to make some major changes due to it. I may not have the feeling back but I look at all the GREAT things I do have and I just focus on that.
Hope you have a FABULOUS day!
