So Troy and I are doing another round of HCG. :) Today is day 2 of Phase 2. I have been feeling a little light headed and somewhat irritated. My starting weight was 163. This morning I was 159.2. So not bad so far :) I am feeling a little hungry tonight because for lunch I only had a half of a grapefruit and a small (I am talking small!!) piece of chicken. For dinner I had a piece of chicken with cauliflower and broccoli. I haven't been eating the "bread" part of the diet because it seems like when I do I don't loose much weight. Can I just say "I love HCG!" I won't loose weight any other way!
I don't know if I am going to take a before picture. What do you think? should I post a nasty picture of my flub?
O and I think I might have broken my toe!!! It hurts so bad!!! So send me sympathy cuz I ain't gettin any here!!!

So I went to Albertsons this morning and this is the loot I came out with. :) Two boxes of each Corn Pops, Froot Loops and Apple Jacks, four boxes of fruit snacks, five packages of hot dogs, three deodorants, one can of pringles and five tubs of Cool Whip.......I spent LESS than $8.00 !!!! That is like .33 per item. YEAH ME!!!! Coupons are good :)

We took the whole family to see Tarzan at Tuacahn last night. It was so good!!! There were apes in the air right over our heads! Tarzan and Jane were just perfect!!! Turk was absolutely hilarious!!!!! I loved it!!! We laughed so much at Turk...he wasn't really like he is in the Disney movie, but man could he dance!!! Both Tarzan and Jane were a good match. It was perfect weather to, not to cold and not to hot. Dustin got a little restless about half way through but everyone else's eyes were glued to the stage. What else can I say...it was AWESOME!!!! And it was free. My neighbor works there and she gave us tickets!!!! Thank you Sister Brown!!!! :)

Well we had a nice surprise yesterday :) After making announcements to the ward and sending e-mails to all the neighbors about the break ins......did I mention our cars got broke into 2 times. Once Tuesday night and again on friday night. Tuesday I told you they stole my TomTom and Friday night they sifined all the gas out of both of our vehicles. But anyway back to the good news.....we told everyone in our neighborhood either in person or by e-mail about what had happened. So pretty much everyone is on lookout now. But on the way home from church our neighbor just around the corner from us found our TomTom in their bushes in the front yard. We went and got it and it is still working. Unfortunately the people who found it picked it up so we couldn't get fingerprints off it. I am just glad to get it back! Now if we could just find where they put our gas......not likely but I can hope. At least it was less than $100 worth of gas. The TomTom cost more than that. So we really lucked out. I would still love to catch the people who did it!!
Sarah got her braces off today. She looks so good!!! She can't stop smiling and looking at them in the mirror. My little girl is growing up to fast!!!!! I love her tonz!!!

So today both of our cars were broken into. They took the navigation system out of mine and that's all. In Troy's they broke the dashboard and tried to get the stereo system out but failed and just ruined it instead. Dumb asses!!! The officers were able to get some fingerprints but who know if they are mine, Troy's or the kid's hopefully one of them isn't so they can catch the stupids!!! Luckily the retards didn't take Troy's $3,000.00 worth of tools he had in the back of his car! Arggggg some people are soooo stupid!!!!

Things have been kinda weird here since Alexis has gone home. The kids are in school and it is pretty quiet during the day. I have had a wave of emotions and it just seems to be getting worse. I have been cleaning the house and I keep finding more of her things. It sets me off every time.

I get to have phone calls with her starting today which is good:) I am very excited to talk to her tonight. She is just such a sweet little girl! The kids have really missed her to.

On a lighter note. We have been having fun with our chickens. We have five now. One is a white leghorn/barred rock mix, one Rhode island red, two rose comb Rhode island reds and one silver lace Wyandotte.

The Rhode island red and one of the rose comb Rhode island reds are laying eggs. The other rose comb should be laying any time now. The other two have a few months to go.

The silver lace is the most friendly of them all. The Rhode island reds all have attitudes! I guess we will eat them first! That'll show them!

O.k so summer is nearly over. The kids have two more days until school starts. They are ready to go back but not ready to go back. This summer has just gone to quickly! We haven't been able to do anything super fun. I really wanted to do some camping but it just didn't happen this year. We hope to get the boat running this winter so we can use the heck out of it next summer. We have had some really great rain storms and one very impressive hail storm. The kids and I got a little freaked out it was so bad at one point. I took a video of it because it was so nuts!
