IT'S A BOY

Todd and I went to the radiologist to have an ultrasound done and found out that we're having a boy! We are both super excited and can't wait for him to get here (only 5 more months!) We are pretty sure we're going to name him Wes Christian Hart.

Time to Get in Gear

Ok Gang,

I just wanted to pass along some information to those who may be riding the fence on losing some weight. As most of you know the family finished a 12 week contest to see who would lose the most weight during that time. It was a close competition that couples entered in, and reported their weekly weight loss. The winners took home all the entry fees. (Which totaled $175). It ended up being a lot of fun as well as offering a good challenge to everyone.

Well since the end of that contest, Linell and I have decided to begin a similar one. This one is an individual contest. $10 to enter per person. Winner take all. In order to put everyone on a level playing field we will take percentages instead of total weight loss. This allows those with only 10-20 pounds to lose, the same chance to win as those of us who need to lose more. It will be simple and fun to do and we'll help each other along the way.

I know there are already around 7 of us ready to get going so we just need an email confirmation for a better list of who will do it. Remember you have 12 weeks so there is time to make up for the 4th of July!!!

Send your confirmation to :

brent@jonesphotography.com

Oh yeah, more info along with contest description etc, will be sent to you after we receive your confirmation emails.

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!
