I Need to Lose Weight

And I have for a while. My friend, Courtney, is having a contest over on her review blog to win a SlimFast gift pack. (On another note, my husband always teases me about "using the word friend fast and loose" when I refer to my blog friends! Whatever, he is silly!)

I'd love to win, but I know you might too! No matter what happens, I do need to suck it up and finally lose weight. We'd love to add another baby to our family, but in order to do that, I need to lose weight. I'm not sure how it would feel to actually look pregnant and not just fat. You know those cute pregnant woman? I'm not one of them, and I never have been. But that is the goal.

My Top 5 Photos from January - March

I found this blog recently, which I love, and through that one, I found this one, and this one. And I found this cool contest. Here is the actual blog post to add your link to. And I'm always up for winning stuff, and what a fun way to show off my adorable kids, right? Right! :)

One of the first nicer spring days. It doesn't look particularly nice out, but we were out in short sleeves. A much needed warm day after lots of snow. I love Hana's expression while she swings!


This wasn't much of a snowball fight since the snow wouldn't pack. And it was too deep for good sledding. Jonah made the best of it by throwing snow at me!


I love this one of Hana and Jonah. They are best friends when they aren't trying to kill eachother. Anybody else know the feeling?


I love, love, love this one of my hubby snuggling Lucas! He looks completely content while he hugs our little guy!


This is Lucas. We call him The Evil Genius. Doesn't he just look ornery and completely adorable?


I'm linking up to post my quarterly top 5 photos. It was hard to narrow it down to five because I have had lots to choose from lately and a love a bunch. I thought this was a fun way to show off my photography, it is most definitely a work in progress, and to help me improve. Join me!

Come and play along with me...

So I'm joining this contest, and I've never done anything like this. I figured if nothing else, I'll get some blog exposure which will hopefully motivate me to keep it up. AND in addition, I can practice some photography! So if you feel like linking up, do it! :) Fun!!!!
