Weight Watchers - Weeks 3 & 4 and my baby's 1st birthday

Oh a lot to catch up on... I will start with weight watchers (today) and work backwards...
I didn't weight in last week, trust me, it would of been bad! Today I weighed in and I'm up 0.2 pounds. Not terrible, but definitely not great. I just wasted 2 weeks. Arg!
On a happier note: My baby turned 1 on May 9th. We had a birthday party for her on the 10th. It was more for the older kids, but Brianna still had a ball. It always warms my heart to see everyone that attends my daughters' birthday parties. I have several friends that had more than one party to attend that day and they still found time to fit us in. It just means the world to me, especially sense we all know that Brianna won't remember it at all.... To the friends that couldn't make I totally understand how busy our lives are and you can't be in 2 places at once.





This past Sat. was a busy one for the Hightower girls. We had Ashlynn's dance pictures in the morning, a gymnastics showcase at 12:30 and Emily's dance recital that night. Ashlynn had a ball watching all girls dance on stage! She would ask me at each dance if Emily was in it. My hope was that Ashlynn would see how the recital works so when she is faced with it for the first time (in 2 weeks) she won't freeze on stage. And, I think it just might work... keep your fingers crossed for me.

She isn't picking... I promise! She is showing me that she is #1!

Mother's Day
Mother's day was perfect. Got up went to church then met the families at Buco de Beppo (one of the many reason's I didn't' weigh in last week). Ashlynn made me this wonderful Mother's Day card at preschool. I thought I would share part of it with everyone.

What can I possible add... Ashlynn summed it up!

ha ha ha! Love the card. I got a similar one. I only weigh 68 pounds! Rock on!!! However, she would like to give me a BIG!!!! raft for the pool (because I'll need it). Her teacher even laughed at that and asked her why. We all know what the turkey meant.

Tanner's said."Mommy looks the prettiest on: Saturday, Sunday and Mondy."

I'm not sure why I look nicer on those days, but...um...ok.

I love that Ashlynn thinks you are18 years old!!!

I love how you are only 18 years old. What a cute project! I remember one that Tanner did where his favorite food was "ketchup"!
