If you all remember a few posts ago that I mentioned that I was in a weight loss challenge, well it has ended this weekend. I have lost a total of 24.8 pounds and 4-5 inches around my waist, hips, and ab area. I was really proud of how i did, there is another one coming up, but I think I'm gonna sit this one out and just do it on my own and see how I do. Who knows maybe by Labor Day no one will recognize me. Just kidding I hope to not change that much.

Well here is the newest member of our home. His name is Chi-Chi and he is a Chihuahua, he is only 71/2 weeks old. I always thought Chihuahuas were just the ugliest things in the world, but after seeing him I have changed my mind. He fits in one hand and likes to sleep either on your chest or on your shoulder, you don't even notice that he is there. The people we got him from said that he will only get about 3-4 pounds.

Well we have a couple of Karate kids on our hands. Olivia and Will have been taking Karate classes every Tuesday since the first of the year. They just got their sparring gear on Friday and have been practicing ever since. They don't have their little white uniforms yet but they will have to have them before they can test at the end of the month. So on Tuesday I will get them ordered. Olivia does really well and surprisingly enough she loves it, she didn't think she would like fighting someone other than Will at first but once she did it she loves it. Will does really well too, and likes the fighting just as much if not more than Olivia.

Last Saturday we went for a ride in Denny's new truck over to Cloe Lake to see if anyone was doing ice fishing and low and behold there were at least 7 people out there. the one guy in the picture got a visit from the warden, he didn't get into trouble though, just checking on them to make sure they were legal i guess. While we were there nobody caught anything.

Well all the puppies have found new homes. The last one just left Wednesday afternoon. Boy am I glad they finally left, the kids were getting attached to the last one. Now I can get back to my usual schedule, what ever that is!!

Isn't winter beautiful. This is Whiskey Run over by Homer Mott's old house.
