Whittle my Middle... Day 1

Ok so I'm just laughing because my friend from Washington is doing this whole "whittle my middle" thing and trying to loose weight. Well, she's like 100 pounds and looks like I did when I was in high school and looks almost perfect. Well, except for the one HUGE stretch mark that she photoshopped in her picture. Well,,,, ladies and gents you will NOT see any pictures of me YET because well here are my stats right now and I DO NOT LIKE IT...
Weight is 174
Size 12-13
I am excited to loose some weight AGAIN and hopefully I can keep it off because yes I would like to have another baby WHEN I loose 50 pounds. So... I guess all I can ask is just wish me luck!

Happy second birthday to Sierra...




Just two years ago I was holding my precious little girl in my arms in the hospital. I never thought having a girl would change my life so much. Sierra is just an amazing child who has the greatest spirit I've ever seen. We've gone through so much together and I HOPE we can continue to go through a lot more. Here are some things I love about my little CC!
1. She LOVES to sing... Everytime we are together in the car I'll turn on some music and in the back I'll hear her singing some of the words on key. One of her faves is Kenny Chesney, When I Close My Eyes. It's quite humorous when she sings that one but she is very good at it.
2. Sierra LOVES to dance... She knows how to work it. She dances fast for fast songs and slow for slow songs. 2 more years and we know where she'll be 24/6. Sunday is the day of rest in this family! ;)
3. Sierra is very curious... This girl is into EVERYTHING! I mean everything. From trash, to toilet, back to trash again. She's got to know what everything is all about.
4. Sierra has definately got her own personality. Some say she's like me but I somehow have to prove others. She is fiesty, and knows her place. It is probably from having two older brothers but she knows how to stick up for herself which is great!
5. Sierra LOVES her family. She is always willing to give hugs and kisses and say I love you to others.
There is so much more I love about this girl but I just wanted you to have a glimpse of what Sierra has been doing for the past two years and how she is becoming.

A beautiful day...





Today was such a beautiful day and the kids were happy and looking so cute I decided to take some pictures of them to show family since I haven't done it in forever! It was a bummer we didn't have James or Jake with us but school and work take priority of fun I guess. :( Kidding, we have TONS of fun around here. Just happend they didn't make the pics today. Life has been good. I am loving my job at Gymboree and I'm heading to work for a few hours tonight which is good. It seems funny walking into the mall on a daily basis though. We actually just found out that Santa will be right near Gymboree this year at the mall so that is SUPER exciting! We are very excited for the holidays... I feel something happy in the air! :)

Soooo frustrating....

Ok, so today has been one of the most frustrating days ever!!!! My Facebook is sooo jacked up. It is saying I have no friends, won't let me chat with anyone but when it wants to... Maybe this is a sign saying GET RID OF FACEBOOK... But can I really do that? It feels like maybe I need to just get rid of it for awhile until I can get my life back together. I just love talking to my close friends and seeing what everyone is up to. Sometimes it is just nice to be in the loop to see if something wrong is going on or if something really cool is going on. I DUNNO'! But if you want to get in touch with me I probably won't be on Facebook for the next few days. I'm hoping that all 349 people didn't delete me though. I know my Farkle buddies are there because I see them when I play. It just doesn't make any sense. On a good note.... I ordered some NEW Shade shirts because they were 40% off. I love Shade shirts. I wear them on a daily basis. Sierra went to sleep tonight without a bottle and she only cried for about 2 minutes. She didn't have a nap today so that is probably another reason. I am dedicating tomorrow to my kids and we are going to have such a wonderful day. James has his pizza party at school and he is very excited! He is doing ok for the most part. His teacher is doing a great ?program? with him. Not sure what word to use. If James is really good during the day he gets 4 animals for his zoo. He then gets to bring home a picture to color. I'm not sure if that is still working out with him but he is trying. It's the sitting still we are trying to work on and calling out things at UNneccessery times. Jaren is just funny... He'll stick as many cars as he can into his bookbag and take them to school on the "Turtle Bus". Makes me feel so bad when he runs outside saying "mommy, turtle bus is here". I just wish it was something more hip like the Eagle bus or the Hawk bus. But no... it has to be the turtle bus... ;) Sierra is into just about everything you can imagine. I really thought you had to baby proof, not TODDLER proof. If it's out she'll get it. As I said before though we have pretty much taken her off the bottle which is one step before potty training but I think that will go really easy with her because whenever she "soils" her diaper she'll come over and point to her diaper and say "POO"! It's very comical but I'm determined to start as soon as she turns two. Jake is doing great and he is SUPER busy. I'm so proud of him. I'm not sure if I should blogging this but I'm proud to say he got a raise. Don't really like to brag about those money things but I'm bragging because my husband works super hard. I got a phone call today for a job interview at Bath and Body Works and I'll probably get another one for Gymboree in the next day or two so I'm trying to make it so I can work one day at one place and one at the other so I can get discounts at TWO of my favorite stores. FEWWWWWW.... I felt like I wrote all of that in one breath. Life is good, Facebook Sucks, and now.... I guess I'll stick with more blogging and start some laundry! :) Peace out!
