A Mom's Favorite Thing...NOT!!

I got a call today from "Lins Market" saying that John had won the Coloring Contest he entered in and to stop by the store for his prize. So I was thinking a bag of candy or a balloon... Yea not exactly:

John's Coloring Contest Prize! This thing is not light either- it has to be at least 20lbs! John can barely carry it, pretty funny to watch actually! :)


Don't worry we made sure "Chick" the chicken (the name John gave it) was safe on the way home! :)

An amazing video for moms:

An amazing video

This is an amazing message I came across while reading LDS LIVING magazine. We really need to appreciate our bodies for what we have- we need to try to recognize the devine role of a mother. I just have to say wow- I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did.

Teona's Weight Loss Results:

I have been doing a blog challenge with some friends and family and it just ended. Here are my final results:



I will go ahead and post my final results: this challenge I lost 9.8lbs for 6.06% loss. Since Jan. I have lost 40.2 lbs for a 20.92% loss.

Not only have I lost 40lbs but I ran a 5k- something that I have trained for since Jan and always wanted to do: I finished 6th in my age group and 18th overall- I ran it in 31 min- which means I ran 10 min miles! This was my fasted time! I am just so excited to finally be taking charge of my life and my body and doing things I have always dreamed of doing.
