Moving!

I am so excited to say we are finally moving into a house!! My wonderful aunt is letting us stay in her house until we can buy it from her!! YAY! Which also means that we get to decorate and paint any way we want! I'm just horrible at interior designing lol. I will definitely need some help.
It's been stressful trying to pack and get everything set up for the move. But I am working on it. 
I'll take a pic of the house once we get moved in. I'll be putting before and after pics once we start getting things fixed up!

What Are YOUR Opinions?

I've been seeing this Time Magazine cover all over the place!! 
What age do you think it's appropriate to stop breast feeding?
I honestly give her props for doing what she thinks is best. But I must say I think it's inappropriate to breast feed after a certain age. I myself would never go past 2 years old. The boy in the picture is 3, almost 4! At this age they start getting curious about body parts. Also, how would they think about it once their a lot older and understand that they were breast fed to this age? Would they embarrassed, or disgusted? Or would they think it was the best choice? Who knows. 


I would love to have everyone else's views.

Baby Fever

No, not "baby fever" as in I want another baby(actually I do get that often), I am talking about my baby has a fever. :( Don't you just hate seeing your little one sick? It makes my heart break. It's so hard to see him so uncomfortable. Thankfully he likes to take medicine so I gave him some fever reducer. I tried to sit him in my lap and rub a cool(cool, not cold) rag on his head and body. He thought it was funny, yet at the same time the most horrible thing ever. Odd huh? He would laugh then start crying and saying "NO!". Weirdo. 


I got him cooled down some and by that time it was past his bedtime so I laid him down. I'll be checking in on him before I go to bed to see if his fever has gone down or has spiked. 


If you have any great home remedies let me know! I hate taking him to the doctor(but I would if necessary of course). 

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there! I hope you all got the royal treatment you deserve. :) My husband and kids got me a homemade card(always a favorite), birth stone necklace, and a Betty Boop wallet!! But the best part was spending time with my family!! :)

So Proud

I have been so proud of Kaysen. He has started to learn so many new things, and in just a week! He has learned to say these words..no, ta-da, drink, moo, grandma. That's a lot in such a short time! He's just getting smarter and smarter! I love him! :)

YES!!!

Again, didn't get official weigh in..starting to think it's not going to happen! Thankfully we move later this month so hopefully the Curves I'll be going to there will do things better. But anyways, I weighed myself on the Curves scale this morning when I got there. It says since I started on March 27, I have lost 14.2lbs!!!! :) That makes me SO happy!!!! Seeing I'm losing more has just motivated me to keep going!!


About AdvoCare: I have finally tried the Slam energy drink. I love it! I have been getting things done today! I'm about to go to my site and order some MNS Max 3! 
Go to my site to get yours!!!! :)

Day 10: Herbal Cleanse by AdvoCare

I am DONE! I took the last of the pills and fiber drink this morning! I am so happy that I have achieved getting through the whole cleanse. Don't get me wrong, it's not very hard, it just takes dedication. I have lost 2.5lbs since doing the cleanse. It has also made me feel better! Healthier! I recommend it to everyone! They also give you this chart(below) so you can keep up with it and you won't forget anything. It helped a LOT! 

Monday

Well the lady at Curves that does the weigh ins wasn't there..again. :( I'm not sure when I'll be able to get my official weigh in!! I may just have to wait til the 2 month mark. Oh well. 

Marc is off work today and so what are we doing? House looking! We have got to find a place to move at the end of the month. I really hope we find one today. 

Life With Boys

Yep, I am the only girl/woman in my family. I have my husband and 2 sons. It's Sunday morning and they're all playing video games. Well Kaysen is watching(he's only 16 months). I usually forget that I am the only female here but days like this one tend to remind me. :) It's so funny to sit here and watch them. They get so into these games like it's a life or death situation. They sit and yell at the game or banter each other for making a wrong move, or high five each other with big smiles on their faces when they have defeated the horrible monster. LOL! It just makes me laugh. Here I am either on the computer or curled up in my recliner reading a book. It's crazy how you'd think I'd be so bored having to watch a video game but it actually gives me peace. I know they're doing their "guy stuff" and it means they leave me alone! I don't have to hear "momma momma momma"! I get to relax and do my own thing!

More Weight Loss

I get my official weigh in at Curves tomorrow! I am so excited and so anxious! I weighed myself this morning here at home and it says I have lost 12 lbs since I first started trying. I really hope that's what Curves scales say..maybe even less! I take a picture of myself once a month(so far I only have 2 pictures). I know I felt like I was losing weight but I didn't think I looked like I was, but when I saw my first picture compared to my second I was like..WHOA! It's not a major difference but there's definitely a difference!!! I am going to add those pictures here below..but I will say beforehand that I am very self conscious and VERY nervous about posting these pictures. They're pretty embarrassing. So please, understand that I am trying to better myself and maybe that'll keep yourself from laughing at my expense. I started exercising March 27th but didn't think to take my first photo til April 3rd. Every month I will take a new picture and have it compared to the first one so you can see my progress.

Day 8: Herbal Cleanse by AdvoCare

It has been going pretty well. I had 4 days that I didn't have to drink the fiber drink, but I had to drink it again today. Also for the next 2 days. But it's not so bad anymore! I only have 2 more days of this! YAY! I do feel lighter and more energized. Oddly I feel more clean, if that makes any sense. 

Veggie Tales

Who has kids that watches Veggie Tales?! 


My 16 month old has recently gotten really into them. He just smiles and giggles and bounces to the theme song! I loved watching them with my now 6 year old when he was younger. 


I think they'll always be a great classic for children!

How does this make you feel?!

I stole this from another woman's blog....

http://www.waitinthevan.com/

Follow her...shes amazing!

Anyways, I saw this and just HAD to share it!! WTF?! This video is cute but SCARY! I don't think I would have let my child sit there and just take a video honestly! It would have been way too creepy!!!!

What are your opinions?!

The Love of A Child

My husband has been working late the past few nights so the kids have been in bed by the time he gets home. Thankfully today he got off on time and the kids were still up. I couldn't believe the smiles on their faces! My 6 year old starting jumping up and down all excited, and my 16 month old just started squealing and running towards him! I love sitting here and seeing the love they have for their father. 

Weighing In

Well the lady at Curves that does the measurements wasn't there :( so I have to wait til next Monday. But I did my own measurements at home with my husband. I just couldn't wait!!! I'm not going to reveal my measurements until Curves does them...not sure if hubby did them correctly. I will say if he did them right then yes I have lost some inches! ;)
But  I will tell you this....my first weigh in on March 27 was 278.4.
My weigh in this morning(on my scale, not Curves) was 266.4!! So I know I have definitely been losing weight!!! 
I will find out the OFFICIAL weigh in and measurements on Monday and I will repost those..promise!

Day 3: Herbal Cleanse by AdvoCare

It's been going great! Within these 3 days I've lost 1.5lbs! I know it's not much but hey I still have 7 days to go!!! The fiber drink wasn't so bad today..u get used to it. The next 4 days I will only be taking pills, morning and night. I'm ready!!

Summer Vacation

Who else is dreading summer? I feel horrible that I am dreading having both kids at home all day long, but school gives me a break! Yes, I still always have one child at home since he's not school age but I still get a break from having both kids at once. I'm going to miss being able to take a nap while Kaysen takes his nap if I want to. 
Yet I'm excited for summer break. I'm glad I won't have to keep up with the school stuff and very excited that I'll have more time with Aidyn. 
Wow this post really contradicts itself huh? Oh well. :)

Fighting for Attention

Lately my 2 boys have been fighting for my attention. They are so jealous of each other it's kind of funny. Sad but funny. I try to spend time with both boys but if one comes to sit in my lap the other has to follow. I can't believe how a 6 year old can get so jealous of a 1 year old..and vice versa! 
But they do love each other. It melts my heart seeing them sitting in the big recliner and reading a book together or playing games on the Kindle together. Aidyn can make Kaysen laugh so easily too! 
I'm so glad that they have each other. But it makes me laugh to think Kaysen is only 16 months and they already have that sibling rivalry!
