Gastric Bypass Surgery Update

Ok, I have been trying to catch up on so much stuff. Alot of you all have been asking about my next step in my surgery process. Unfortunately I have to put that off for now. Some of you may know that Drew was laid off this month. What comes with that is losing our insurance. I was very sadden and disappointed but maybe this is way to give me another chance to try to lose the weight on my own. I did found out that I can claim my veterans benefits from when I served in the Navy. With that I get medical coverage which will help me get all my meds and keep up on my doctors visits. But they do not cover Gastric Bypass. So now I am at a point where I have to decide what next. I have been looking into Gyms and their programs and also found out that with my work I can get a good discount with The Rush for Drew and myself and they have free Daycare for the kids while we work out.

Anyone have any advice for me or any programs that they know and have tried that have given them success....please let me know.

I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener!

Drew gave me a call one day, telling me to bring the kiddies to his work!! He had something to show them!! We get there and the Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile was sitting out front!!

Drew works for Penske, were they service all kinds of vehicles and it just so happens that they had contracts with these people to service this vehicle!!

Autumn checking out the front!

Look at all the seats in the back!!

The kiddies loved it and got to look at it inside and out!!

Owen wanted to Drive the Big Hot Dog!!

Bye bye Wiener Mobile....Till next time!!

My Family Visits from PA!

As some of you all may have known, My daughter Autumn, Spent the summer with my Family in PA! We went up there in June to Visit my family and to drop her off there. She had a blast....but like all good things her summer with my family had to come to end, it was time for to come home! School was starting soon! My Parents took the 10 hour drive down here to bring her home and to spend a couple of days with us!! We were sooooo excited when she came home, we had not seen her in almost 2 months!

When we left her in PA she had a suit case with her clothes for the Summer and a bag of toys. When she came home, that suit case was filled with shoes!! She also had a big plastic dresser filled with lots and lots of clothes!! She was sooo spoiled there!! She loved it. She had lots of stuff for school some toys and some other things. She said she cant wait till next summer so she can go back again!! She misses Mom-Mom's swimming pool and the big Bath Tub!! My mom said she would never want to come out of it!! Autumn came back with a very nice tan!! I was really jealous, i wish i can tan!! lol!!

We had fun just spending time with my family!! They stayed at an awesome hotel that had a heated pool, an Arcade Room, a Fitness room, Miniature Golfing inside and a nice kiddies play area! It was like a little theme park for the kids lol!!! We got to enjoy the pool with mom and William!! The water was great and Owen loved it!!

A pic of us in the pool!

Mom Relaxing in the room!

The last day there we took Mom and Dad to Wee-Trade, it was a big Yard sale in a sense. Lots and lots of used and new kids stuff anything from clothes to toys to beds to bottles to diapers....you name it!! We found some good sales but man was it hot there....we were sweating our butts off!! But we had fun!

Than the last day came, we were all sad to see them go. We hung out around the house for a little and then they headed off to the Outer Banks!! We will miss them and cant wait to see them again!!

Drew and Dad relaxing on the porch!

Dad, Mom, William and the kiddies!!

We Love you!

To See Or Not To See?

Yeah!!! Ian's Glasses finally came in yesterday!! So on our way to the doctors we picked them up!! Ian was sooooo upset, but we kept explaining to him that these will help him see better!

I was very proud of him today. We had to run a couple of places to pick up a few things and he kept them on all day!! We will see how he does tomorrow, he goes back to school after being sick for 5 days!

I think they make him look very smart and cute! He will be able to see better in the classroom, and the TV at home! It will do him good!
