Kyle fractures his thumb

So 2 games before the end of Kyle's jr jazz basketball he was playing outside at home and jammed the ball into his thumb, it started swelling and turning purple so I knew something was wrong. We ended up in the instacare and then got the news that he had bruised it really good and that he had to wear a splint for a week, by the time we got home, I had a message on my voicemail that said they looked at the x rays closer of Kyle's thumb and it was in fact fractured and that he had to wear the brace for 3 weeks! I was upset but poor Kyle was devastated. He was out for the season. He still got up and went to his last 2 games to support his team. I was so proud of him. He picked himself up and dusted himself off so to speak.

I am doing it!

Well I have started yet again down the road to weight loss, but this time I am not doing it alone. I have the help of several friends, my kids and most of all my husband. I got a good deal through my work through gold's gym and the best thing is that my husband can also benefit. My husband and I now go to the gym 4 days a week! On the weekends my kids get me outside for either a jog or a walk. I have started this hard journey since I believe the end of September. They had taken my weight at the doctor's office when I hurt my knee and that was it for me! I did not like the number I was looking at. After my knee healed and i got back from hawaii I went full force which was about the beginning of November. I changed my diet and started going to the gym 3 days a week, I started seeing results and so I started going 4 days a week which is where I am now. Now for the best part of my story, I have to date lost 33 lbs and 6% of my body fat. I have gone down 4 pants sizes and my shirt size has also gotten smaller. I hope to hit the 50 mark by the second week of April. (I go to Philadelphia for work and would love to reach this goal by then but if not it's ok because my original goal was to hit that mark by July when I go to California! Tell next time which hopefully will be soon! As of 3-28-12, I have lost 50 lbs!

Tyler Fractures His Toes

So yes 3 days before Tyler is suppose to play Jr Jazz Basketball he goes and fractures 2 of his toes! He was jumping and then jammed his foot into this chair that just happens to be filled with sand! He has to wear a "shoe" for a month. It is winter time so walking to school in the snow with crutches should be a bit of a challenge. He is a trooper though! I mean he has had 3 sets of stitches in his lifetime, he knows pain.

Dylan's snow day

So I never really took or let Dylan go out in the snow. I am not sure why but this year I did. I bought him snow boots and I had a old snow suit that was Kyle's hanging around and it just happens to fit Dylan. I took him out the day after we had the storm. He loved it, his favorite part was sticking his gloves in the snow. I am sure he will be out again soon!

12 years ago today

12 years ago today Kyle Anthony Arnes Jacobs came into the world. He was 8 lbs 13 ozs. He was bald but very cute. He changed my life for the better that day. We threw a party for him last night, most of the family got to come and celebrate. We had pizza and basketball cupcakes and ice cream and little smokies. Kyle got money and some candy for his birthday this year. We are taking him to Chilli's for his birthday dinner. He also picked to spend his money at the sports store fanzz. He bought a Utah jazz sweater, a jersey, hat and headband. He left very happy! He also signed up for Jr jazz for his birthday.

Kauai Pictures

Kauai is so beautiful and I hope I will get to go again someday.

Hawaii

So I finally get to go to Hawaii! I can't wait, I am so excited. I am going with my sister n laws Paige and Martianne and my mother n law Nancy. We are going for 1 week. I get to live one of my dreams, snorkeling! I am nervous but way excited too. I will of course post lots of pictures of my adventure in Hawaii. I was able to go on this trip thanks to my work for providing me with free airplane tickets and for my awesome sister n law Paige who invited me. Till I post again! Aloha!

Changes For Dylan

So Dylan started kindergarten and he had a rough start as anyone would that does handle change very well. Being on a track system is going to be rough for Dylan. First week of school was rough, learning all the new rules, meeting the new teacher etc...and then the next week they went off track for 3 weeks! He then went back to school and mind you he only does half day kindergarten and the rest of the day he spends at daycare. I really HATE half day kindergarten! What is the point! Anyway, a week or two after he goes back we find out his teacher is leaving! Great! Another change for Dylan. (remember he doesn't handle change well) I really liked his teacher too, she was understanding and very nice and helped Dylan work through his issues. I really hope his new teacher is the same way!
