Happy St. Patty's!!!!

I LOVE St. Patricks Day! And not because it's a catholic made up holiday, but because this is the day (four years ago) that My husband and I were sealed/married for time and eternity. And, it has been the BEST four years of my life!!! It was not an easy road getting to the temple but my incredible husband got me there. If it wasn't for him, and Heavenly Father of course :), I would be in a dark place I'm sure. And after we were married I received some bitter comments from people I thought were my friends. One in particular called me "stupid" and that within a year of being married I would be miserable and know I had made a huge mistake (she said this behind my back of course). Well all I can say is, four years later and I am the happiest I have ever been. With an extremely loving husband and the most beautiful two children. So who is the ignoramious now? Definitely not me! I made the best dicision EVER!!! And not choosing Nathan would have been stupid and a mistake. It's been awesome and I wouldn't change a thing.
    Anyways, on to the fun part. For the past three wedding anniversaries, Nathan has planned (and they all were super awesome and romantic). I was also pregnant for the first two anniversaries and breast feeding the last one.  So, this time since I am neither prego or have a baby latched on to me Nathan asked me if I wanted to plan it this year. I totally excepted the "challenge" LOL and have the most awesome weekend planned. Hopefully I will remember to blog about it. So, I will hopefully be writing on Monday and will HOPEFULLY give you a report of the fun we had. Until then, Happy St. Patrick's Day, wear lots and lots of green, and have a LUCKY Day Laddies and Larses. :)!!!!

What a week!!

It was such a crazy week!!!!! It all started with my son tugging on both ears February 13 and took him to the doctors on Valentines Day and the whole week he kept spiking a fever (coencidentally it spiked every time I gave him his medication).  But he finally stopped spiking a fever this past Sunday.  During all this, my sister in-law was staying at my house with her 4 month old while my brother was out of town for military stuff. I also babysat my 3 year old brother in-law over night because my fathr in-law had to get a colonoscopy.... well the next night I babysat my four month old nephew the next night. By this time it was Saturday morning (my brother got home finally and picked up his son). Along with not sleeping all week, I had a baptism of a family member to go to and had to make refreshments and write a talk for said baptism.  On top of which I had to clean my wrecked house! Plus I received a new calling in my ward. So my week was exhausting, but there was some good things that came out of it. :) Oh and the picture is of Kylie and I at the grocery store havong a good time. Isn't she cute? :)

Living the warm weather in Oklahoma

With the weather being so amazing my kids finally got to play outside almost all day! Look how happy thay are. I am so ready for this warm sunshine to stick around. I also noticed how much happier my kids and myself are with this warmth. Can you tell that I despise cold weather? LOL I don't mind the snow, but it doesn't have to bring -4 degree weather.  I also have a picture of what I did for Nathan for Valentines Day. This was waiting for him when he got home for school. He didn't expect this at all. :)   I made him a plate of his favorite cookies (peanut  butter). And the pictures of the kids and the baby is Matthew and Kylie playing with their cousin Isaac (Seth's son) and his toy. They love their little cousin! :)

I finally figured out how to blog from my new smart phone! YAY!!!

Well this might be a little bit crazy post. I finally figured out how to blog from my phone but it posts my pictures all out of order and i don't know how to move them around. So I will have to just tell you whatv each picture is and you can figure out what I'm talking about. LOL! First, the pics of the kids is us playing in the freezing cold weather/snow after that crazy OK blizzard. It was also Kylie's first snow. And the picture of Kylie's feet is to show that she has learned how to put her shoes on all by herself. She may have put them on backwards but it's progress. :) I think putting boot on is hard and she was smart enough to figure it out, I am constantly amazed by my little ones. :) And I am sure you've noticed my illustrations by now.... well this is the first page out of 17 or more pages to come, of a childrens book I am illustrating which my Aunt Michelle and Uncle Joel wrote. They wrote this book about 9 years ago and asked me then if I wanted to illustrate. I said "yesL but never got around to it because...well...I was in high school and was too "busy." And now that I have children I read the book again and realized I WOULD LOVE this book for my kids, so I decided to rfinally finish this project I said I would do. I would write what the words of the book but It's not published yet and I don't think my uncle and aunt would appreciate me doing so. Anyways, that's what's been going on so far in the Dill household. :) Well I just realized it didn't post the pic of Kylie's shoe...sorry. It must have been too big to post oh well. hahaT

Before and After

Well after a summer of killing myself, I finally have results. I started working out in June, every night for 3 hours after the kids went to sleep. And I have AWESOME results. So...... here are BEFORE pictures!!! From the back.....PROFILE........

ANOTHER PROFILE........

FRONTAL :)..........

ANDDDDD.........AFTER!!!!!!! Over the summer I lost a total of 20 lbs!!! And Over the year I have lost a total of 40 lbs!!!!! Thanks to my Wii, The Wii Fit game, and The Wii Biggest Loser game, and of course the most AWESOME husband ever who said all the right things while I was losing the weight and he was very modivational (the right way not the insulting way...lol), I lost the weight fairly quickly and it was enjoyable the whole time. Also, I am wearing clothes I haven't worn since before I was pregnant with Matthew! Now I only have 20 more lbs to go to get to my weight from when Nathan and I got married... I am super excited that I am almost there, and I already feel great at where I am today! So if I don't lose the last 20 it won't be the end of the world I will still be happy.

"Oh fair New Mexico"

Well it is sunny, hot, and beautiful here in New Mexico...no pix of it yet but thats ok I have a week and a half to get some. From what I hear, I am missing some crazy storms in Oklahoma. Phewy, I love thunderstorms, although it's a love/hate relationship. I love them but am scared of them at the same time. I want to see a tornado but from FAR away! Anyways, life is pretty good right now. Eventhough I am still doing the same chores and things I do at home, I am still having a good time. I think the only difference is I won't let myself feel guilty for watching tv and being online all day. It's super nice! I found also that me being more relaxed makes Matthew a much better toddler to be around (something I need to remember when I get home). That's all I have for now.... so here are some pictures of us enjoying the trip.
