Good Things Utah

Last Wednesday, Cory and I and Chad and Kim had an opportunity to make our huge television debut. We were on Good Things Utah to talk about the True Health Program that has changed our lives for good. It was so cool. I had no idea how they filmed the show and it was so fun to watch. The GTU women were very nice. We may not be famous but ................... nothing, I guess. We had fun!! You can watch if you would like: http://www.abc4.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?videoid=88295@video.ktvx.com&navCatId=462

Happy Halloween

Halloween was fantastic this year. We started the week off with a fun party at Alayna and Jason's House. They pulled out all the stops. We carved pumpkins, Alyana handcrafted a pinata for the kids, everybody dressed up for the costume contest and we had a yummy, yummy chili dinner around the firepit. On Halloween morning, Brock and Parker had a parade around their school. It was very cool. It was fun to see all kids all dressed up and so proud of their costumes. They both had parties in their classrooms and I am sure they had enough candy to last them a lifetime by this point. That wasn't the end of the celebrations. We went trick or treating to grandma's and grandpa's and to our aunts and uncles and was once again spoiled rotten with candy. Then all the troops (Bree and Justun, Chad and Kim, and Greg and Chrisite) came over to our house to trick or treat with us in our neigborhood after a pizza dinner. Brock was a (toothless) Ninja, Parker was a Skeleton Zombie, Josi was Ariel, Rhylee was Snow White, Abby was a black cat and Haddie was a Hula Girl. They all looked so cute. We had such a fun night. Thank you for spending with with us.

A Toothless Wonder

Brock lost his first tooth today. Well, he didn't actully "loose" it, the dentist pulled it out because his other one was coming in behind it. He is seven after all. A couple of months ago when we were talking about loosing teeth, he informed that the he must be a "late bloomer" How awesome is that? Now, I'm gonna have to stay up all night to visit with my long lost friend "the Tooth Fairy".

Fall Moab Trip

Once again we went to Moab. This time was amazing because Cory and I had something very rare and we feel so blessed. We had both of our entire families there. Our parents, our siblings and our nieces and nephew. We had us all together for 3 days. How lucky is that. We had tons of fun as usual. Moab is a beautiful place and I am sure that there will be many posts about our Moab Jeep trips for years to come. We went an entire year without breaking anything on our jeep and it goes where ever we want it to. The kids love Moab and we always have a great time with our friends and family there.

This could have been a huge distaster for Chad and Cory.

Cory loves to see how high he can raise that tire without actually tipping over.

CJ and "Reckless" - I don't know what it is with boys naming their Jeeps.

Our little family
This was taken about three minutes after Cory burned all the hair off of his face and arms putting out an engine fire in the Jeep (and scaring his mom to death)

This is Jeri trying not to tell Cory how to drive. ITS TOUGH!!
Brock loves to make Ike laugh. He is really good at it.

"Big" Changes for the Proulx Family

I've been debating if I should blog about this for quite some time. But, I decided "What the heck". We are so excited about the changes that we have made for our health. Weight has always been a struggle for me. Well, at lease since I was 14 and quit doing gymnastics for 3 hours a day. But, the last 2 years have been especially tough. No matter how much I exercised, I just kept putting weight on, a little at a time. In June, I learned about a program called "True Health Program". http://www.truehealthutah.com/ This has been a life changing experience for us. Cory was so supportive the whole time. When I told him that I wanted to do it, he simply said "if this is something that you think will make you feel good, go for it." He said that he would support me and do everything I was doing and eat the same things I was eating. The program is pretty involved. I can honestly say that it consumed my life for 3 months. You get to listen to audio instructions everyday. You learn so much about nutrition and whole foods and the physical and mental impact that your diet has on your entire life. There is quite a bit of soul searching along the way. You have journal assignments everyday. You get to learn to cook healthy foods and you get to experience tons of new recipes. (wow, maybe I should do a commercial) Anyway, Dropping 50 lbs. (70 for Cory) in the process is just bonus to improving our health. We are so excited to help our kids grow up knowing the things that we have just learned.

Picture Tag

I've been tagged. Post the 6th picture in the 6th folder of your pictures and explain.

How ironic is that? A Halloween picture. This was when parker was 3 and Brock was 5.

I tag Heidi, Bree (again), Jadie, Christie, Alyssa and Jennilynn

Happy Birthday my Little Sister!!

Happy Birthday to Jennilyn Proulx. She is such a cool girl. I just want to write some reasons why we love her!

-She is a super fun Aunt who plays Donkey Kong

-She is always up for a good time. (like having theme parites and dressing up for them!)

-She is DANG funny and quick witted

-She is so tough, we've watched her go through the hardest thing ever and become a stronger and better person for it.

-She is the only other person in the entire world who knows what it is like to be married to a Proulx Boy.

We love you Jennilyn and we hope you have a fantastic day.
