Analisa ~ 27 months
Abriella ~ 3 months
~Weight Watchers~
So far so good. I am now down 14.6lbs. I think the hardest thing is being inside at home all day long. It is as if there is nothing to do but graze on food all day. But it has not been too bad. I mean I am losing so it is going ok. I snack on Jay’s Fat Free pretzel sticks. Another favorite snack is Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches. Plus I keep reading this phrase, “Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!” I keep remembering this and it seems to help. Are any of you following a weight loss program? What are your favorite snack foods? What is your motivation? Also, if any of you are interested in joining a group, email me @ RaelynJoyner@yahoo.com. The group is a bunch of Moms who are trying to lose weight. We support each other and share ideas and recipes.
~Abriella~
Ugh! My baby girl is already 3 months old. Time really does fly by. She continues to be a great baby. She sleeps from about 10pm – 6am. She has this smile that lights up the room. We went out on Sunday to try and get some 3 month pictures taken. But I scheduled the appointments at the wrong time. So she was either hungry or tired for the appointments. I used a coupon where I will get 100 pictures for $7.99. And the picture was not even that great. So I will be getting all of these pictures now, but I will try again tomorrow for a better one. I did get one cute one of her at Picture People. I posted it on her website. http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/abriellarae/
~Analisa~
Ana continues to enjoy her gymnastics and dance classes. Although today in gymnastics she was wondering off a lot. I could tell the teacher was calling her back and Ana yelled “NO” to her. I was not happy. After the class the teacher said, “She had such a little attitude today. It was cute!” What cute?? I don’t think so. So we need to work on this attitude of hers. http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/analisajane/
My parents picked up Analisa on Saturday around noon. They took her to see Dragon Tails. My mom said she loved it but got antsy towards the end.
~Saturday~
I took advantage of the time I had just Abriella and we went out shopping. I bought some baby gifts and a birthday gift. I found the cutest lilac Easter dresses for the girls to wear this year. When Ella and I got home, Scott and I decided to go see a movie and grab some dinner. My parents said they were not going to rush back and to take our time. So the 3 of us went to see Along Came Polly. Ella just had her eyes on the screen the whole time. She was really good. I had a lady come up to me after and told me she could not believe how good she was. So I was happy about that. We decided to just grab Chili’s To Go on the way home. I love the Guiltless Chicken Platter. So we were home about 830pm and my parents and Ana got there a little after that.
~Sunday~
Like I had mentioned above, we took Abriella to get her pictures. Before that we had Weight Watchers in the morning and then we went to church. After church is when we went to the mall to do pictures. From there we went to Scott’s parents’ house for dinner. UGH! Ok, here it goes. My FIL acted more like a 2 year old then Analisa did. Ok, first of all my in laws are pack rats. They have 3 bedroom split level home that is just filled with “junk”. Mil has a doll collection. They also have a collection of Disney movies. And Fil has more toys then, well, then he should. FIL was such a grump the whole night. He would swear and when Scott or Mil told him to watch his mouth that Ana says anything you do. His reply was, It is better then hearing her cry! They have 2 Boo dolls, the little girl from Monsters, Inc. Well, whenever Analisa would want to play with the one. He kept saying, That’s Grandpa’s be careful with it. Then Ana took Boo’s socks off and he got so upset by this. He was literally acting as a child would. It was so ridiculous. He took the doll back and put the doll’s socks back on. I also heard him saying, That’s Grandpa’s hammer don’t touch or be careful, I forget which. So I thought he meant a real hammer. Well, it was a blow up one that you would probably get at a carnival. I mean come on. It was so not normal. She was amazed by all the Disney movies. She wanted to see them all. Well, this too was getting on his nerves. He was so worried she was going to ruin them. You know, don’t have us over then. That would be fine with me. Is this not totally ridiculous? I can’t remember what else he did but it was always something all night.
~House~
No progress on it yet. We are in the midst of talking to a couple mortgage guys to see what we can do. So, unfortunately no new house news here.
~TV~
Average Joe – who do you think will win?
My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé – What do you think will happen with her family? Could you believe “his”? Do you think she will just get this money regardless at the end?
All-Star Survivor – I was so sad to see Tina leave already. Any favorites, yet? Or guesses on who you think will win?

Celebrity Mole – Who is the Mole?
~Chicago Get Together~
A bunch of us are planning on getting together in the Chicago area this June or July. If you are interested in joining us email me @ RaelynJoyner@yahoo.com
I think this is all I have to say for now. I hope you are all doing well. PLEASE come say hi on my TTM board.
Thanks!
Raelyn (Ana & Ella’s Mommy, how lucky am I?)
