So this will be the last time I write, in March, of 2011. The next time will be in April, talking about Conference. It should be exciting. Then the week after that we will have stake conference. It should be a busy month. I am excited for it though because next month is Easter.
This spring weather is so great. Snow, rain, wind, sun, cloudy and all other types of atmospheric disturbances. It is great to be working in it though. Just wish I could get out in to the wilderness soon to enjoy it more. A good fishing trip sounds like the thing to do. ;)
Our diet is going well, I think that I have lost four pounds. Ok it might have been two since when I weighed in I did just eat. I started at 208.6 and am now at 204.6. They are different scales and circumstances but I'll take it. Carolyn is doing well as well, and so is Caleb. He doesn't seem to be affected by the things Carolyn is taking. Which is great on both accounts. So we just finished the cleanse phase this today and we will now start the Lifestyle Phase. Nothing totally different just taking a product in place of another, and maybe doubling on another product. I really like it. I feel like I have more energy when I do exercise. Though sometimes I feel tired after work.
Everything else is running smoothly. Carolyn is almost done with her first semester. Caleb is getting more sturdy when he sits. Ginger is anxious to get outside in the good weather and run around. I would like to do that too, but just have chores to do inside. Which is a bummer. But I plan to get out and go play soccer with her and Caleb soon.
That's all for March and we will talk to you in April.

Third week in March
Did you think that I would miss a week? It was pretty close but I finally found the time to sit down and write. Thank you for checking in and also for updating your statuses. It has been fun to read about your experiences and lives. I hope you continue with vigor and determination. And yada yada yada lets get to what the "favorite child" has done this past week.
I told you last week that something was going to change for us here in Lehi. I guess there is no other way to tell you than to tell you up front. Yes some of you already know but here you go again. Carolyn and I are starting a new diet. It is from Tahitian Noni, which means we get to do it for free. Might as well try it out if it's free right. Well they have come out with a new product line called FIT. There are six different products that we are taking in order to lose 3% body fat, 5 pounds, or gain more lean muscle. One of these has to be accomplished in the next month or we are out of the program. So we are going to start counting calories, exercising more and eating healthier and smarter in order to do this. I am in it to gain more muscle and maybe loose a pound or two. I know it is going to be hard to change our lifestyle but the goal is worth it. Wish us luck.
On a side note, we would like to thank Amanda for the wonderful clothes and the new pet that she so willingly donated to Caleb. The new pet was a 50" long spider with hairy knuckles and puppy dog eyes. We just couldn't resist the first look it gave us. So thank you, thank you, thank you.
So that is it for the week. I know it is not much but at least it is something. Have a great week!

Second week in March
So since no one else has updated there blog so far today I figure I might as well be the first one. I think that they will soon be done by the end of the day though, right?
I have the first sunburn of the year. It is not bad but my neck is a little sensitive to the sunlight. It is going to be a great year. I am now pruning trees at the building in American Fork and soon will be doing the same thing in Provo. The guys I work with are friendly and good workers. I now get to speak more spanish once again. Which I love to do of course.
Caleb is seven months in two days. Eating like normal and has now started on puffs, just for movie nights. We eat popcorn and he eats his puffs. Still growing strong and big. Is now using his voice in sacrament meeting and all other moments when it needs to be quiet. But we deal with it and do the best we can to keep him under control.
Everything else is still the same with Carolyn and Ginger. We'll try to get them to do something exciting this week. Now that the weather is warming up that is a very real possibility. The look on the horizon looks interesting and new. Something is coming that is going to surprise some of you and not surprise the rest. You will just have to read the next blog to figure out what I am talking about.

The Beginning of March
Hello there. Welcome back to this site, if you have ever been here before. I would like to thank you for your continual support and comments that you so diligently give. I would like to thank the Acadamy for giving me this award. I know there has been a lot of debate on wether I should receive it or not. Espeacially when I am going up against such tough competition. But I know that they have made the correct desicion cause what can I say....I'm the BEST!!!
Ok now that we have got that out of the way I can start saying what really matters. Updates on my little family. First will start off with me. I have a new job! I am going to be mowing lawns again at Tahitian Noni Gardens. I am really excited to start doing this again because I have wanted to ever since I got back from the mission. I am also really excited because I get my tan back. I'll be latino once again. I start Monday at seven and then once the sun rises earlier I'll be starting at six thirty. I'm so excited!!!
Carolyn can't beleive that she is already half way through the semester. I feel like I have mentioned this before. If you remeber me saying this, or don't, I'm saying it again just to make a point. My point is, is that time sure goes by fast when you are totally busy. She feels that she will pass all of her classes. She says that if you don't you are not trying at all.
Caleb is getting more opinionated about things. If he wants something he'll let us know. If something is wrong he'll let us know. His voice is getting more powerful. Probably because I play with him in a loud voice and he tries to mimic me. He is starting to teeth but no tooth has popped out yet. This is the main reason that he is getting so opinionated. It is sad, frustrating, new and a bunch of other feelings all rolled into one. He is still cute as ever when he is happy and well fed. Speaking of well fed. He is chowing down on the squash, rice cereal, and tid bits of other foods that we can get him to eat without him knowing what flavor it is. He can be really picky on what he wants to eat. Unless he is really hungry then he'll eat till he is not hungry and doesn't like the taste of it anymore. Thats a kid for you right!?
Ginger has learned a new trick this past week. She can now play dead. But it is not the traditional "play dead" trick. She does not get on her side to back with her legs in the air. She just lays down and puts her head on the ground. It is close so I giver her a treat for getting that close. We are going to make a movie for you to see hoe many tricks she can do. She is a smart dog and does deserve the award that I just got from the Acadamy
Well I beli, I bele, I beleive that's all folks
