I get so good at this for a little while and then it's been a couple of months!
So Steve is still at the Railroad. He rotates from making trips to Nampa and Green River to working in the Pocatello or Idaho Falls yards. He just won a fishing trip through the show "Jared Scott Outdoors". He will be taking his Dad sturgeon fishing in Twin Falls and it will be on TV! He is so excited since it is a $600 trip. He could not sleep the night he found out because he saw his name on the TV and kept replaying the DVR to see it!
Isaiah is running around like crazy! He can say Mom, Dad, Uh-Oh and No-No-No while shaking his finger. Already?! He is so sweet and just a ball of energy. He makes us really happy. He loves going on long walks in the park or taking his Grandpa and Papa Jim on 20 minute "wilderness" adventures. Whenever we see animals there is a good chance he will be blowing kisses at them. And he really does help with the laundry and dishes. He takes things out and puts them back in! And totally loves his sister and gives her loves all throughout the day.
Lilly is just the most beautiful little girl to ever be born! She is now turning on her side and working on getting from her belly to her back. Her smiles can just light up the room and make your day. And her brother and get her laughing so hard she can hardly breathe!
I am now selling J. Bella clothing to have a little something to do besides change diapers (not that I am complaining about being with my babies everyday). It is a home party business and I really enjoy it. I am getting closer to my weight loss goal for the year and I am only 30 pounds from my goal! But I have not felt so good in awhile.
We are hoping to move to Blackfoot in the next couple of months to be in a more central location for work/family. So far we have not found anything. I would rather just buy a house but Steve feels we still really need to wait.
So not a ton has happened but we are really enjoying our summer with tons of reunions and family outings. There really is not a lot more we could ask for. Life is truly fantastic!

Bethany's Weight Loss Challenge
So this is the second post of the day... need to catch up while both babies are sleeping.
I have my 6 week check up on Friday. As long as Dr. Isbell clears me for exercise, I will begin on Saturday morning! I feel fantastic right now but I want to start working out!
I weigh less right now than I did when I got pregnant with Lilly. I don't know how much exactly though.
I have a goal to lose 35 pounds-ish by Christmas. Roughly it is 6 pounds a month. I can do this! I will be keeping my progress here in the blog for some kind of accountability. I will post monthly and depending on the results, I will say how I think I could have done better or what I think worked the best. This should be interesting... I think I will need to enlist the help of my friend Shayna to kick my trash into gear for a good way to punch my fat good bye!

The Last 5 weeks of the 4 Barrows
Hello to the few people who follow our blog, it's been a crazy few weeks!
We had Lilly on April 29, 2011 at 8:52 am. She was 6 pounds and 7 ounces. The C-Section went very well. Completly different than my first one. I was totally chill and relaxed and was excited for it. And she is so Beautiful, and a screamer. It is a eye opening experience since Isaiah was almost as quite as a mouse when he would try that young. She came out with a full head of hair! We came home four days later and we thought is was going well. Easy, we thought.
The next morning I woke up with a head ache from my spinal tap. I had it in the hospital for a day and half but it went away. So from Tuesday to Saturday I was bed ridden waiting for it to go away. Laying flat and caffeine were the only things that helped. So Steve got me a couple of 64 ounce Pepsi Maxs and I was up until 6 am the first time, but my head didn't hurt! Things are much more calm and we are settling into a two child home pretty well I think.
The weekend before Memorial Weekend Steve's Grandpa Barrow died. He shed no tears because he knew it was time for him to go. Grandma Barrow died 23 years ago and Grandpa never looked at another woman since. I can only imagine the beautiful reunion they had. The services were great, except I always said I would never have the screaming children in those kinds of things and guess what?! Both of mine were the only ones screaming!
Steve is back to work again on the Railroad and it looks good this time. Being at home together every single day all day really plays on your annoyances with each other! Steve and I also celebrated 4 years of marriage on April 7, can't believe it, we are almost not newlyweds anymore!
