Still losing more weight

This is todays picture. I am 1-2 lbs to the weight I was before I had Tyler. This is my skinny pants and the shirt I am wearing I was brave and I bought it without trying it on first, just to see if I could guess what I am at.
I am really not trying as hard as I should be and Superwoman told me that if I lose 12 more pounds that she will start with me. I told her that it would be december and she asked me if I could wait for january, we will see.
Yeah me!!!!

I'm a new Auntie!!!!

Check out her hair!!!

Avery Gordon was born November 12, 2008 at 12:15 am.

We got the text message right as we were leaving to go to work on Wednesday. Karl just happened to check his phone and saw two text messages from his brother. Karl called his brother at 7 am and everyone was great. We booked it after work to get down to Auburn to see our new niece and Tyler's seventh girl cousin, he is the only boy.
Avery is the first granddaughter on Karl's side of the family. I believe she is the second granddaughter on Rachel's side of the family. She only weighed 6 lbs 12 oz when she was born and these pictures don't do justice to how adorable she is. I am so excited that she is here. Mom and baby are doing great and Dad is so happy! Congratulations Daryl and Rachel.

Pumpkin Cookies

I have been obsessed with baking lately. I have been making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and tonight I made pumpkin cookies with icing drizzled on top. I do have to say that I bake some mean cookies. I am so tired and I wish I could fall asleep lately but I have not been sleeping well. I think I bake to keep myself distracted from everything else. It really is good therapy and I do enjoy baking. Next month my sister and I are going to be making cookie platters. I have been so excited to try new recipes and I have a few more recipes to try out before I add them to the list.

Feeling Trampled

I feel like every time I feel that my life is calming down, something else happens. People make mistakes and I get that, BUT why is it that they don't see directly who it is that they are hurting before they make the decision to do what it is that they WANT to do. I know that 99% of you know what this is like. It just frustrates me that it keeps happening.

Hanging out

Tyler is so much fun. I will probably have very frustrating days with him. Right now he is playing with the stereo while Karl is playing xbox, but that doesn't bother me. I love that handsome little guy and he is the center of our world.
My diet has been losely enforced. I am still trying to be careful but tonight I had cheesecake, so I am alittle more relaxed. Hopping back on the bandwagon is hard when you don't have the reins in your hands.

Uncle Barry and Aunt Diane visit

This picture was taken this last summer, but I forgot to put it up when I took the picture. I got in touch with my Uncle Barry while I was on my mission and we swapped information, mostly he gave it to me, about our family history. It was nice to finally meet both of them in person. The scary thing is is my dad and him look so much alike and their mannerisms are so much alike but they hardly ever see eachother. Its seriously weird.

Busy life

I don't think I have been this busy in a long time. For the last two weekends I went to the Puyallup Fair and I thought that things would calm down, well the busy times just motivate me to stay out of trouble. This weekend I have a baby shower and a baptism to go to and as I just found out tonight, I am also speaking at the baptism. Its good for me though I need the blessings of giving a talk.
Tyler turned 11 months old yesterday and I was so emotional. I can't believe that he has gotten so big. His birthday is next month and after the baby shower and the baptism is over then I am going to focus on Tylers birthday.
I do feel like I have neglected my husband the last while. I let him play some xbox tonight because he will have little man tomorrow during the baby shower. Take care everyone.
