I'm in Puerto Rico

The Family Letter

Alright, whomever wrote the most recent family letter, kudos! It was great. Thanks for the laugh. Whoever you are, you are quite talented at writing. My suspect would be Laura Bates, but I could be wrong. Any comments or other suspects, please let me know, unless the author themselves would like to come forward. :) Very Cute!

Nurse

So...i got a letter from the department of Nursing yesterday. i was really nervous to open it, but when i did i was super happy. I GOT ACCEPTED INTO THE NURSING PROGRAM FOR THIS FALL SEMESTER. I'M SO EXCITED! YEA!!!!! i guess all the studying paid off. :)

Graduation

We went to Willard's Graduation tonight in time to see 3 great kids receive their diploma. I don't have any pictures indoors, but we got to see Stacy before she went to the school. Here are a couple pictures I grabbed before she became an official High School Graduate.

Happy Mothers Day

What a fun day to spend with Grandma today. We had a great dinner and Grandma even posed for a photo for me.

And the winner is....

BRENT and LINELL with a total combined weight loss of 64.75 pounds. Fred and NataLee came in a close 2nd with 61 pounds.

WAY TO GO!!!!

FYI - we had a total competition weight loss of 233 pounds. We just lost a "whole person" and I think each of us did a GREAT job.

Rachelle got to Graduate

Rachelle had graduation last night. She is pretty excited to be done with High School!

Mother's Week!

Loser Update

Just in - NataLee and Fred are a team with a loss of 11 lbs for the first 2 weeks! Way to go!

Fire Video

If you have 4 minutes to kill, take a look at the video.

Ice Storm Aftermath

For everyone that lives here in Missouri, we all know of the extensive cleanup that is still going on everyday. The trucks that pass by us on the highway and roads are full of branches and parts of trees. There are several areas around that they dump these onto only to pile them into massive piles and then burn them. We happen to have a dump site that is only about 2 blocks from our home and the other night it was up in flames. You can see just how big this thing is by looking at the one photo with a weird circle in it. The circle I've enhanced is actually a full size pickup truck. No kidding. This thing was huge. The funny thing is in about a week they'll have another one.

Biggest Loser Results

After two weeks we have some results to post. I'll post from most lost to least.

Jimmy/Debbie = -29
Weston/Caroll = -15.2
Jae/Tresa = -14.9
Benny/Eric = -9
Brent/Linell = -8 (don't have an OFFICIAL # on Brent but pretty sure)
Kim/Linda = -1 (don't have all the numbers yet)

There is a rumour that NataLee and Laurie want to be a team - if so send me your numbers.
Jimmy and Debbie have a pretty big lead on everyone. The rest of us are going to have to work harder :)

Puerto Rico Pictures

We had a lot of fun with Terriann and Todd in Puerto Rico. You can see the ocean from their condo window and it takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach. Here are just a few pictures.

Nathan and Weston on the boat going deep sea fishing.


Weston, Connor, Taylor, Kelsie and Hunter under the waterfall in the rain forest.



Connor, Taylor, Kelsie and Hunter in front of the fountain in a park in San Juan.


Connor at the the same park in front of the ocean.
