90 Day Challenge

Brian and I have decided to take on a 90 day challenge.  We both had lost a lot of weight, but due to stress, life circumstances, and laziness, we've gained some of it back.  In a few short months we are going to Disney world and I know that is quite a work out, especially with three little ones!

Here is what we decided:

• The challenge will start on Sunday, March 8th and end on Friday, June 5th.  (We leave for Disney that night or the next morning!)
• The winner will be determined by the person who has the highest percentage lost.
• Each 30 days, we will take on a different challenge.
•  Beginner Push Up Challenge: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/8b/dd/e9/8bdde9ebafbf7f9ed8c6ac81abba6f9c.jpg
• Little Black Dress Challenge: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c5/19/9e/c5199ed5c6b7242b83bab8a1c06f0ea9.jpg
• Thigh Challenge: http://www.fitgirlcode.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Schedule-6600x400_Thigh-Challenge2.jpg
• The Winner will get to be King or Queen for a day!!

We are hoping this will help our whole family get back on track and ready for spring and summer!!

Dear Gavin

Dear Gavin,
My sweet boy...how are you 5?  You've been through more in your five years than most people go through in a life time.  You are so brave and strong when it comes to all of your doctor visits.  Your cognitive skills are off the charts and everyone is always impressed with how smart and sweet you are.  You have the best giggle, sparkling eyes, and people are drawn in to you everywhere we go.  You have a very stubborn side and want to do things the way you have pictured them in your head.  You have a bunch of new tools that you love to put to use and figure things out.  You love all things "boy"....cars, super heroes, tools, being outside.  You are a great eater and rarely do I put anything on your plate that you don't like.  You are my most independent child and will adapt and make things work.  You still love frogs and snakes and have made quite the collection of stuffed animals to sleep with.  You snuggle a little bit more now and Mommy loves that!  I'm honored to be on this journey with you and look forward to see God's plans for you!
Always remember...you are smart, handsome, kind, and important.  I love you to the moon and back!

Mommy

Dear Lilah

Dear Lilah,
Wow...how are you already 3?  You are such a lively little girl and I can't imagine our family without you.  You are a Mama's girl and are either stuck to my side or into something.  You have no fear and do not want to be a baby anymore.  You often remind me that "baby means love" when I call you my baby.  You love Buzzby, Cailou, and many other shows, Doc Stuffins, and your babies.  You aren't the best eater, but you can snack with the best of them!  You are always asking for a snack or treat.  You have a huge vocabulary and are very physical.  You have a sweet and caring side, but also a lot of sass.  You aren't afraid to stand up for yourself or let your voice be heard!  You've been spending your days with Grandma and love going to her "school".  You guys have had a great time together at the library, doing puzzles, and so much more.  You love the chickens and were one of the first to hold them.  You are small, but mighty and I know God has great things in store for you!  
Always remember, you are smart, kind, beautiful, and important.  I love you to the moon and back!
