All Clean!

So for a couple of weeks I have been trying to organize Hannah's room since we moved her back into the small room. It has been a challenge because I just have not been in the mood and secondly you need money to buy a lot of things. So I finally got to do it. Her daddy put more shelves in her closet and my friend from work to a trip to Container Store and picked up for me a box of 20 shoe boxes. YES she used all 20. lol I went through her stuff and we organized together. We also finally fixed up her calendar that I got from the Learning Zone. I laminated everything and finally got velcro and we fixed it up. She was so excited.

So her room is almost done. I need to incorporate some pink paint on her walls. Put up curtains and do the finishing touches. After that we are done. 

Next project the boys room. 


Gymnastics!

Since last Monday when Hannah tried out to see if she would like Gymnastics she could not wait for TODAY. I actually set up a calendar so she would not ask and just look at her calendar to see when that day would come. 

This morning she was super excited that today was the day. 
As you can see she did a great job today. 

Keep up the good Work Hannie.....


Now she can not wait until Thursday. She starts Piano lessons.



Mr. Cool



I love this baby so much! He is so happy and adorable. 
We are surely blessed that God placed this baby in my sister's life.

Biggest Loser



As many of you may know or many may not know that I am in a Biggest Loser
contest at work. We started the contest on May 1st and it ends Aug 30th. There are about 15 of us. The POT is big. I decided to join and try this out. Let me tell you THIS IS HARD. Tomorrow will be 6 weeks already and ALL I have lost is 6.2 pounds. 


This morning I woke up feeling bummed because I am doing everything I am suppose to be doing but do not see the pounds shedding and it is really frustrating. 


  1. I count my calories
  2. I quit sodas except once in awhile.
  3. I workout
What more can I do? This morning I felt like giving up but then that would mean that I would feel awful about myself for the rest of my life If i stayed this way.

Today I did not want to workout but I decided to JUST DO IT.
So there I go after work to go run 5 miles and burn 630 calories. 

I have a ways to go but I just hope I can see the pounds shed. 
I think I am going to get a personal trainer 2 days out of the week. 
I also have heard great things about ZUMBA  
but of course I will not go alone. SO i need a partner. 
ANYONE?

I don't know what to do anymore, I know I should not give up but this losing weight is really hard. 

Please PRAY for me that I can continue on this journey and succeed. 

Thanks, 

Queen April
