I have lost 41 pounds as of today. I have 10 more pounds to go until I meet my first goal. I will set another goal after I reach this one. I got weighed and measured on Tuesday and from August 31st until then I have lost a total of 33 inches. To be where I wanted to be my goal was to lose 48.5 inches. I am getting closer. It will be several months until I get there but I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get there:)
Andrea and I went to Curves this morning. She was a strong girl and did it. She didn't do every maching but at least she went! I got all of my election stuff ready for Tuesday. That is quite the process. Lots of stuff to remember. I am sure I will forget something. Went to lunch today with Amee and Adi. That was fun:) Adi is starting to get more of a personality and is at that stage where she can't sit still b/c she is constantly looking everywhere. Those days are long gone for me:(
Tonight is the Little Mr and Ms contest at Pioneer Days. I know of 4 people that are going to be in it or the baby contest. The theme is The Good Ole Days. Bronson is going to be a cowboy, Emma is going to be a Little Prairie girl, Ashlyn is going to wear bib overalls with bare feet and have a fishing pole made out of a stick, and then Adi is going to be in the baby contest. Amee isn't sure what she is wearing yet. My mom had an old little pinafore (sp, sorry) dress that we tried on her. It was really cute and it is over 60 years old. I would think that would pass for "The Good Ole Days", don't you? Wish all these little ones good luck tonight and say a little prayer that they all place! I will let you know tomorrow how they all do and hopefully have pictures of all of them.

Moving Out!
I am moving out.......I have had it!
Just kidding:) Bronson was moving out last night. He wanted to stay all night with my mom and dad again. I asked him if he just wanted to go live with them and his response was YES! I said well then when we get home then you need to get all of your stuff packed and you can just go live with them. So when we got home he started cleaning out his dresser drawers. He packed all of his clothes from there and then was headed to get all of his shirts out of the closet. I said Bronson if you leave you aren't coming back. He then put his hands on his head and said "i just don't know what to do". Well after much thinking (one minute) he said I am going to live with Da. I told him he needed to call his dad and let him know that he was moving out. Well of course Jared didn't answer. But once he called back Bronson told him and the reason was b/c our house was scary when it stormed. They hung up and then Jared called back and told him (this is exactly what he said) "get your shit unpacked and put back in your drawers b/c you are not going". Well that made him really upset. He cried and cried b/c he wanted to go live with them. He did unpack his stuff and put it all back up. When Jared got home he sat on the porch with Bronson on his knee and had a talk with him. I was watching them thru the window and it was so cute. I wish I would have had my camera. Bronson ended up apologizing to me for wanting to move out. Another night down! This child is going to get the best of me sometime soon. Everyone thinks he really didn't understand that he was going to be gone forever! I am sure he didn't but it still hurts to know that your child wants to live somewhere else. I am sure he would have gotten homesick and would have wanted to come back home and of course we would have let him:) I bet we go thru this same thing when he is 16 but for other reasons and he will understand then what forever is!

Painting
I decided to paint my laundry room several months ago. But with baseball and all I kept putting it off until Sat:) I got my paint on Friday and started painting on Sat. The color I picked out was a tanish color. Once I got it on the wall it kind of had a pinkish tint to it. I am not sure why but I am thinking it is because I have a burgundy shelf in there and it is what is bringing out that hue. Anyhow, I like it but I don't love it. Jared doesn't really like it either. It will have to do for now b/c I am not going to redo it. Paint is too stinking high!
While I was painting Braxton painted in his little shack. He picked out a green color. Him and Bronson painted, jumped, painted, relaxed, painted, played, played, etc..... They finally got it done on Sunday.
Jared and I played cards on Friday night with Jim and Amee. We hadn't done that in forever. It was really nice to relax and not have to be somewhere at a certain time.
Saturday after we all got done painting we took a little drive to go see all the flood areas around Greentop and Novinger. It was really neat to see.
Sunday I cleaned house, majorly! and took a nap. Jared got called out in the middle of the day and then got home and then called back out at 8:45. He did not get home until 6:30 this morning. There were several of them out all day and night. Those men need to be commended for all their hard work. I know someone called in about their power being out last night and they were not happy. I don't understand how some people can be mad at Tri County when they can't help the weather. I don't see those people out risking their lives to get someone else's power back on. It is just so aggravating. Ok, I will get off of my soap box now:)
I have a public meeting tonight at the school. Wish me luck:) I hope at least someone shows up to this one.
I ate lunch with Andrea, Vance, Jared and the boys today. Andrea needed to get out of the house. I hadn't ate at Buddy's in forever so it was nice for a change.
Have a great Monday!!

Comments
K, guys I have allowed anyone to leave comments on my blog. Please make sure you leave your name so I am not sitting here wondering who in the world left a message. Thanks:)
Look on down
I got the video to finally upload. So when I posted the post it put the post down where it should have been when I wrote it. So you need to scroll down and look at the post MMA JOYCE. (that stands for emma joyce in braylon talk). Geez all that work and then it puts it somewhere else. Bear with me guys, someday I will get this all down.
Jump!
Well the boys got a new/old trampoline. Several years ago I bought this trampoline. It was junk then and is still junk. The legs didn't like to stay together very good. Then Braxton got this wild hair to clean out our little shed so he can make himself a hunting shack. When we were cleaning it out we found the parts to the trampoline. So last night I said we could put it up. We went to Randy and Teresa's to get the frame from the first trampoline we had. It was a lot better frame then the second one. After putting it up we went to put the mat on the springs and the mat was smaller than the old frame. So much for that bright idea. So I got the second frame out and put it together. I remembered really quickly why we had taken it down. It kept coming apart as we would add another piece. We got the electrical tape and duct tape out and fixed that problem. We finally got all the springs on, well Jared did. I tried jumping on it first since I was heavier than the boys. I thought if it was going to fall apart I would rather it fall apart on me than them. They could not wait to get on it. Braylon liked jumping on it when I was on there but once I got off the boys were too rough for him and then he didn't like it so much. You can see that in the last picture. Anyhow, an old trampoline brought back out made for a new trampoline to the boys. 
Andrea Update
Cindy, Andrea's mom, just called and said Andrea made it thru surgery just fine. She said she will be a little bummed b/c she has to keep her catheter for 10 to 11 days. I know that will make her happy. Cindy said she will be in recovery for about another hour and then she will get to see her. She said she handled the anesthesia really well. The cyst had some feelers on it and it had grown up in the urethra some and I think that is why she will have to have the catheter for so long. I may not have all the info absolutely correct so don't hold me to it. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
