Weight Watchers......AGAIN!!!

Ok, here we go again!!! This time I am determined to stay with it and make goal!!! I have lost a total of 65 pounds since I started about 3 years ago, but I have so much more to loose. I really love the program, it teaches you how to live and eat well, not a diet, but a way of life. Even though we stopped, due to not being able to make the meetings because of being so busy, I still find myself picking what I eat better...trying not to get out of control etc. Gary, Staci, Kristi and I are joining this weekend and we're "Off to the races" so to speak!! We love your support, and will keep you posted as to our SUCCESSES!! Probably my newest recipes will be Weight Watcher approved...hope you don't mind!!

If you need a smile....check out this picture!!!

Now, if that doesn't put a smile on your face, nothing will!!!!

Check out the new tried and true recipies!!! Yummy...love the granola on vanilla yogart!!

Lucas has a roommate!!

Love this picture..."The thinking" picture



"Let sleeping babies sleep!"



I spent some time with Lucas at the hospital....we had a pretty good time until his gas started....he was really gassy. He was so cute even though. The nurses came in and gave him a bath, they weighed him and I think it read 9lb 2oz.. which I think he didn't really much like, but as long as I played with him he was ok....then they wrapped him up tight, he still found a way to get his hands out ... he was really funny. Uncle Gary came up, they brought in another little baby...hispanic family..they were nice as were their visitors, but they didn't speak much english. Then Lucas was fussy, I laid him in bed, got him comfortable and he went to sleep...for an hour...then the noisy nurse came in and yup, woke him up...she dropped something loud and he woke right up....he just couldn't get comfortable after that, they tried tylenol and it really didn't help, finally I think around 11:30pm, they decided he needed some morphine...we got him all comfortable and wrapped up, put him in bed, then they gave him the medicine....he just layed there for the longest time looking at the lights on the machines...it was funny. He kept pulling his right hand out, grabbing his binki and taking it out of his mouth or spitting it out... I would put his hand back in because I am sure he was trying to get to the tube in his nose...he just seemed like if he could, he would pull it out...he didn't want anything to do with his binki at all....finally, they turned the light off next to him and he fell asleep....he was asleep when I left around 4am...and doing really good...(I think they were going to wake him up soon after I left to do his vitals....I know, they need to keep up with his vitals, but he was sleeping so good...oh well...) He is so adorable and it was a honor to spend time with him!!! Luv ya Lucas

Update on Aunt Eva Jane

Talked with Grandma Bahr tonight, Karen, our cousin called her this morning...apparently the car was hit on the right side by a man going 50 miles an hour direct....Eva Jane has fx ribs both sides, colapsed lung, fx pelvis, vertebra in her neck, concussion,on and on...she will be in ICU for 3 wks, then moved...she is heavily sedated for the pain. Karen is coming up to West Valley to get Grandma Bahr and take her to the hospital to see Eva Jane on Friday for the day.....



Now, you need to see the cutest and newest pictures of little Lucas....SMILING!!!




Not sure why he has the tube in his nose again....but isn't he a sweetie!! Follow his progress on the Fullmer's site at: thefullmerboyz.blogspot.com









Oh...I just got back from Ogden visiting with Max and Staci...I drove the Legacy Parkway of course, I really like it. It's a lot more relaxing. One thing though, I counted 8 dead racoon's in total north and south, and 5 skunk....I hope the animals will soon be used to the new traffic on their road...there were a lot of dead critters scattered on that road.....watch out!!!

We Saw Lucas today!!! He is such a cutie!!

I took grandma Bahr to Primary's to see Lucas today. He looks good...he has lost some weight and is really tiny...we've, (well his aunt from Pittsburgh and we agreed) decided he needs to suck on dumb dumb suckers....wouldn't that be yummy for him!! Allison brought it up with his nurse and she wasn't impressed....anyway, I think they are going to try pediolyte soon..they took out his NG tube today. I bought him a rattle and he actually was grabbing at it in his weak little way..he would watch it as I would shake it...it was fun to see him watch for mom and dad when we were holding him...he is pretty observant and aware of people....Mike and Allison go home to the older boys at night...I am looking forward to spending Thursday night with Lucas while they are gone...he is just a sweetheart for sure.










More bad news for our family............Leon and Eva Jane our Uncle and Aunt were in a car accident yesterday...I guess the car hit the side Eva Jane was on and she was injured. She is in the hospital in ICU with multiple fractures etc....Leon is ok..that is good. Don't know too much, but if again you could keep them in your prayers...they are around 85..86yrs old so this is hard on them...there are so many car accidents anymore, everyone be careful and wear your seat belts!!!

Recipes for the Week....tried and true

I am going to start sharing some recipes that are tried and true in our family....My sister in law, Rachel and I talked about doing this a long time ago...so here goes...I will always post two off the right side of this blog under the calender...it kind of prints funny, but just follow what you read... Here is a little explanation about the recipes, I went to a cooking class for Relief Society last week focusing on using food storage....this month was "legumes" (beans of all kinds) We got these recipes and tonight I tried them with my family.....the cookies were 7 out of 9 really liked the cookies (these are soft ginger snaps and half of the mixture I added milk chocolate chips....yummy).....the taco soup recipe everybody but my grandson liked it...8 out of 9....he didn't actually try it this time so really it was 8 out of 8 liked the soup. (we put the taco soup in soup bowels and sprinkled cheddar cheese on top)....give it a try you just might like it...have fun!!
