Perfect Saturday.....

We started yesterday with a trip to the mechanic for Jeremy's car (which wasn't so perfect, but that's okay) and stopped for breakfast from McDonald's which was pretty great (Sausage McMuffin? Yes please!) Then we headed over to the park for an Easter egg hunt that one of the girls in our ward organized. The kids had a lot of fun and so did we.......

Whitney and her friend Abby

Where is Livvy?

They had a bunch of eggs on the grass and then up on the hill - I made the twins head for the hill because they were some of the oldest ones there

We invited Jeff and Melinda

and this is little Gwyneth

Whitney being a cheese ball

Livvy with her basket - she loved finding her eggs

A perfect Saturday in Vegas must include swimming, and so we did!  Jeff and Melinda had the pool heated up and all the kids got in for some fun

Livvy actually only got in and sat on the top 2 steps - I think it will take her a couple of more times to actually remember how much she loves the water = )

Whit is a little bit obsessed with Gwynnie and asked if she could hold her - Melinda and I were getting dinner ready and saw this:

We didn't have dinner until bedtime for the twins but it was worth having the burgers off of Jeffs new charcoal grill and we just sat outside and enjoyed a great night....Then I headed home with Livvy while the girls, Jer, Jeff and Brady got in the pool and didn't get home until almost 10.  Perfect. 

Progress Pictures

This first picture was taken about this time last year and I weighed 235 pounds. The other picture was taken by my beautiful Whitney yesterday morning and I weigh 225 pounds.  I was "flexing" my abs in both pictures... I plan on posting progress pictures every 10 pounds now. I will also post my weight as of Saturday morning - I'm quite sure it will be the same as last week as this is the time of month where I retain water and have a lovely bloat (the joys of womanhood, am I right?) I'm also working on some pictures/recipes of my favorites right now.  I am also combining both of my blogs - so please look for more updates on my weight loss and also what our little family is up to right here on Emily's Big News.
