Just figured I'd give updates

First, I've stopped being so focused on my weight. I'm losing it, and right now that's all that matters.  I'll work on toning and all that in a bout a month or so.  I was becoming obsessed with losing the weight, and I don't want to be like that again.  It can lead down a very scary road. 

School is hectic as usual.  But hopefully I can get a routine down.

Dakota is great.  He loves his teacher, and they do lots of cool things.  This Friday morning they are having a transportation parade.  So me and Koda have to start working on his car tonight.  I think here pretty soon we are going to have to take him to the doc.  His nosebleeds have been getting worse.  I took a pic of him yesterday after a bad nose bleed, and he looks like he got into a fight.  He wouldn't let me clean him up when we got home because he was being a zombie. lol Here's a pic.

Bella is getting bigger every day.  She can almost lift herself completely up.  We are trying to transition her into sleeping in her own bed.  Last night she slept in there from 9:30 until 2.  So I was happy to get a few hours of comfortable sleep.

Now for the big news.  Me and Brad are FINALLY going to set a date to get married.  It will be sometime after the new year.  Not sure what we are going to do yet though.  So we'll keep you updated!

Lots of updates

well a lot has been going on lately. I'm still trying to adjust to school, work & 2 kids. Plus I'm still trying to keep my business going. I'm hoping to be part of a craft fair in November. So we'll see how that works out. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Koda: Last week K was started in a new class. There were too many kindergarteners per teacher so they hired an additional teacher. He seems to like her class. I'm going to email her this afternoon to see how he's doing. We just bought him a bunch of books. Can't wait to sit down with him and read them tonight. All in all he's doing good. Getting big and staying healthy. Although he already eats like a teenager. lol

Bella: B has been pretty good. She is now 12 lbs. We had to take her to the doc last week because she was hardly eating, and EXTREMELY fussy. Ends up she had a minor ear & upper respiratory infection. So we are getting her over that. She also got to meet her new cousin this weekend. I hope B & Marleigh are like me and Karlie and end up being besties. I don't know what I would do without my Karlie-bell. I hope they have that same bond especially since they are only 2 months apart in age. lol
The girls


Well I'm going to go for now.. But one last thing.... I WAS ABLE TO FIT INTO A SIZE 5! I was so excited and jumping up and down. Brad thought it was funny and Karlie looked at me like I was crazy. Maybe I am tho :)

Well I haven't been workign out really, but have been running around a lot. So here are the stats for this week.

weigh-in 8/28: 137
weigh-in 9/7: 134
Lost 3 lbs.

Bella Got her ears pierced!!!!

She was so brave. Mama Lala has taken each of us girls in the fam to get our ears pierced. Kind of a tradition. So we wanted her to be able to take Bella. Well we did this weekend before we left Brady. Here is the process from beginning ot end. I will have some better pics of her in her pretty earrings later this week. And there are also some pics of my family.




My family

Goat Cook Off!

The Goat cook off was A LOT of fun. There were so many people there this year. Brad & Koda's fascination was the Apache Helicopter that was there. They got to see it take off and everything. I'm just glad it wasn't very hot. It was a great day, with lots of great food. And then that night we hung out with the family. We were all pretty worn out from our day.

There are going to be a few today

First up is our trip to Dinosaur World. We went Friday on our way to Brady. It was pretty cool. Koda thought it was awesome. I've never seen the child so excited. He's so ready to go back too. So we might go back in the spring. I'm just glad he had a great time. Bella was in a good mood too, but she was so hot. My poor babies having to endure stupid heat. lol

Here are some pics from the Dino World

I'm such a slacker!

I haven't been keeping up with the blogs. Things have been a little busy around our house. lol I think we have somewhat of a routine with the kiddos. Dakota started kindergarten last Monday. I think he really enjoys it. He told me yesterday that I was the best mommy because I make delicious lunches for him. It was so sweet. We've been reading every night, and hopefully he'll pick up reading a little better. We have to start working on sight words. Fun stuff. :P We are thinking about putting him in some kind of extra curricular sport in the spring if he shows that he can handle school & a sport.

Bella is already 2MONTHS old. I can't believe it. She weighs 11 lbs now and is 23 1/2" long. She's getting to be such a big girl. She's already teething. She's a baby going on 18. lol She thinks she is so grown up.

Time goes by so fast with little ones. Why can't my babies be babies for a long time :( But I'm looking forward to seeing what types of teenagers & adults they will be. They make me proud every day.

I started school on Thursday. I love Helen she is awesome. This week starts my half week of classes. I'm not sure I"m ready , but I don't have much of a choice! lol

So this is my week 3 & 4 update.

Yeah I started slacking so here are my weeks 3 & 4 updates.

Week 3 I didn't have any change in weight it was still at 142.

Week 4. Last week was busy with school starting for both Koda & I. I guess I lost some weight doing all the running around I do now. lol

So the starting weight was: 142
Ending weight on 8/28: 137
Total lost: 5 lbs.

We'll see how much I lose this week. :P
