A little ranting from Jessica

My friend has an amusing blog for those of you wasting time on the internet when you should be cleaning...http://www.jessicaloff.blogspot.com/
Also, I have been doing my diet/exercise program for 4 weeks now. Every four weeks I redo measurements and take pictures. Today was the day. I was a little disappointed that I didn't see huge results, but then I had to take some of my own advice (and my moms, and my sisters, and my friends) that it is coming off, slowly, but surely, and just be happy that it is coming off and not on. I have 15.4pounds until I get to my goal! If I ever get there I will post a picture of the scale...make that, when I get there!
And one more, quick thing...do men ever outgrow laughing when they pass gas? Some of you may be more fortunate than I am, and your husbands aren't highly amused by this...I am jealous!

Fat Chance Farm





Austin's preschool took a field trip to the Fat Chance Farm. The kids got to take a pony ride. They were able to feed a goat, a sheep, chickens, a rabbit, and horses. Layla and Austin both loved it!

Where do they learn these things?




One Sunday afternoon we were sitting at the table eating ice cream. I look over and there is Layla with her face covered by her bowl, trying to get every last drop of ice cream out. I know that I do this, so she must have seen me do it!

Smores




Jason, Austin, and Ryan went to the father and son campout last week. They roasted hotdogs and marshmellows. When Austin got home he wanted to roast marshmellows again. So we turned on our gas grill and mom bought chocolate and graham crackers.

Austin's First Talk

Austin gave his first talk in Primary week before last. He was GREAT!! He did so well. I was totally impressed. He looked really cute with his hair combed and a four piece Sunday outfit! My baby is growing up!


Austin’s talk 4/22/07

My faith in Jesus Christ grows when I know He is my Savior and Redeemer.

Faith is believing in something that you cannot see.

My parents and my teachers teach me things about Jesus.

I have faith in Heavenly Father and in Jesus Christ.

I know that Jesus is my older brother.

I know that Jesus lived on this earth.

I know that Jesus paid for when I do naughty things if I repent.

I know that Jesus died.

I know that Jesus lived again.

I know that Jesus is my Savior.

I know that Jesus is my Redeemer.

I know that I will one day live with Heavenly Father and Jesus if I do what is right.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
