something more

Dead lifting 235lbs a few years ago.

Picture update time...

Working out!

So I've been going to the gym before work at the prison. In the last year I have went from 29.5% body fat to 25% body fat. My lean muscle mass is now at 161 lbs. I went from a 38 inch waist to a 36. I now weight 212 pound. My goal is 185. I feel better, have more energy, and sleep better at night.

I came to realize that it doesn't matter if I wake up at 4am or 5am, I feel the same, so why not get up earlier and do something to get to where I want to be.

I have been doing Crossfit. It's an excersize program that you can do for free. the workout of the day (WOD) is posted on line. I LOVE IT! www.crossfit.com or www.vikingcrossfit.com

The family is good. Adalyn is getting big. starting to stand up to things. Brooke and I have the best relationship I think we ever have. It's awesome.

I started yet another job (yes #4). I am teaching EMT and AEMT classes for coleholland in West Valley. I am also testing this month for Springville Fire, and next month for Sandy Fire full-time. So wish me luck.

December 2011

Well, It's December 2011. Today Kaylie turns 3. WOW! It's Crazy how fast time goes and how fast the girls grow. Alayna is starting to read and loves kindergarden. Kaylie is 3 now and is still CRAZY. she is speaking so well. It's weird to hear her sentences. Adalyn is almost 6 months old and is traveling all over the place by rolling. She is getting on her knees so it's not to long before she will be crawling.

Work has been busy. I am still working at the state prison as a Paramedic. I work PGFD part time as a Paramedic/Firefighter. I have also been working as a reserve firefighter/paramedic for Sandy fire department.

Brooke has only worked 1 out of 8 shifts at the hospital due to not enough babies being admited to the NICU. Timp Hospital just built a new wing on the hospital just for a new NICU. It is state of the art with something like 26 beds. They are now taking care of babies born as early as 26 weeks.

Brooke has been amazing at keeping her blog updated. For all of the day to day goings on, her blog is the best.

After Mommy's Doctors appointment, we didn't want to go home yet so we kept driving until we reached Bridal Vail Falls. We spent about an hour walking around and throwing rocks into the water. It was a nice little escape for our family.

Alayna turned 5. Wow she is getting so big.

Kaylie was SO good at picture this time and we ended with some great ones of her in her fairy costume.
