Flash Back Friday

SO, going back in my memory pile of pictures, There are so many things that make me laugh. This is my younger brother telling my daughters that this is what happens to your brain when it is on drugs. No, he is not high in this picture, he is simply a good actor. This is me before my weight loss story began. I weighed close to 260 pounds in one picture with Rheesah at the Zoo and another with my Grandma Mona. Can you believe it? As you can see, I look much thinner in the next photo. At my last weigh in I was finally under the 200 mark at 199. I am half way finished with my book of 'Show Me The Skinny" (because I am half way to my weight goal) and even if it sells 10 copies, I will know that I have triumphed! So for you all that have been requesting a story here, enjoy, I hate posting pictures of me on my blog. Next Picture Showing...in 50 pounds. This is a happy and sad picture of Savannah at the Hoogle Zoo Last Year (April 2007). Sad-She wanted to go see the monkeys, we were watching the elephants. I was trying to teach her how much happier she would be if we could compromise and see the monkeys when it was their turn to be seen. (They were clear across the Zoo) So we decided to map out a plan on the Zoo Brochure and Savannah would know exactly what was next. This way she had something to look forward to, and in the mean time, could enjoy the elephants. After showing her the pictures of herself happy and sad, we both agreed that she is so much more beautiful when she smiles. This is my beautiful Mae-Mae when she was less than one year old. She was very independent even then, and we had to pick her up off the dirty ground all the time and put her in her stroller. Even at that young age, she was insistent on doing everything herself. This is Rheesah on her third birthday in April 2005. She had just learned how awesome presents are. We were still in the process of trying to distract her from her extra-curricular nose activity. The gifts only worked for a minute. Today, she has moved on from boogers to birds! If she hasn't then I am in for a surprise and I will find her stash eventually. My Man, Jeremy, This was not quite one year ago, it was only 6 months. But Jeremy never lets me take any pictures of him without him making a weird face. He will learn when I post a blog titled, 'Jeremy's Weird Faces that Make Rheanna Go Crazy cuz she cant scrapbook them",...or can I? Hmmm....he'll learn. Ha! Stay tuned....
Now, I tag anyone reading this to create their own Flashback Friday for all of us who may not have been in touch for awhile. (Becky, Rachel, and Holly) Which for me, is almost all of you. Lets catch up!
