Bailey had her Christmas Recital...

She was so lovely on stage 

I was a very proud parent!

The music was from Polar Express....I love her new dance class!

Thats right folks we are!!! We are excited & nervous!

I'm one of those lucky women who get every pregnancy symptom in the book.....so yes I'm sick I'm exhausted, my chest hurts, I'm bloated and my stomach sticks out, BUT I'm thrilled to add the last addition to our family!!!

Crayon anyone??

This is what happens when you don't double check your kids pockets.....Cole had red crayon's in his church pants pocket....when I opened the dryer door ALL the clothes were streaked red and my dryer was stained along with the vent screen. I had globs of crayon all over the place! I hyperventilated for about 5 mins before I could acutely talk! Once the shock and horror hit I began to clutch all the clothes in my hand and scream WHY...... WHY...... DID YOU LEAVE THESE IN YOUR POCKET??!!!

 

Cole looked at me and ran! I just stood there looking at all the nice clothes with red streaks all over them....then $$ signs flashed through my mind and I cried! I called Jason and lost it on the phone....So I soaked all the clothes except the pants in soap and LOTS and LOTS of vinegar!! To my blessed surprise all of the color came out except for a few shirts and Jason's basketball shorts....I'll take it! The lord had my back on this one. I will never forget to check his pockets again!!!!

Side note....Cole blamed me for what happened.....I almost cried again but I kept it together....

Grown up furniture!

Well that's at least what I'd like to call it. We've been married 6.5 years and we've never owned furniture straight from the show room floor.....Well this sectional is not brand spankin new but it's close and I'm thrilled!! We got an amazing deal from one of our family member's! It's only 2 yrs old and looks and feels NEW! I'm still in the process of making it POP with color! I've made special foot rest covers so they don't look filthy. I'm also learning that Microfiber is not as user friendly as they say.....We are so in love with our sectional!!

  Don't ya just love it?! It feels so grown up!! Our living room feels so much lighter already! I can't wait till Friday when I get to buy the throw pillows and throw blankets....I have an image in my mind as to what I want, lets hope I find it all!

Best Birthday ever!!!

ok so I'm sure I'll say it next year too!

 I already knew what I was getting but I still wanted it wrapped!

 I've been wanting a serger for over 10 years!! I'm so happy!! You'll have to rip me away from it once I figure it all out!

Cake....this is my naughty pleasure! I can't ever get enough of cake!!!

It was a wonderful day filled with even more wonderful people and moments! My rock star husband surprised me by taking the day off from work! He secretly left twizzlers in the van, so I would find them when I went to the gym and it was awesome!

Ok 32 I hope your good to me!

Happy Birthday to me! 

Yes I was a large baby, and yes my poor mother gave birth to me naturally.....I was 2 weeks late and it shows! Look at those cheeks!! I shall enjoy my special day!

Easter.....

Well this would have been a decent family picture if Bailey would not have had a melt down and refused to look up....we were on a time crunch and did not have time to force her to look up.....I still get irritated when I look at it!

Call us picture hogs but we to have our picture taken just the two of us!! I loved my Easter dress, it's so comfy and very flattering! Jason looks so handsome too!

I opt for a toy over tons of candy, its great!! The kids got about 7 pieces of candy each and the rest was clothes and a toy, it was a win win for us all!!! Mom and dad got all the rest of the candy :)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and enjoyed the day!

I found this cute idea for a date night.....I love it!! I can't wait to build a "love nest" for a fun FREE date! Pillow talk here we come!

Thank you sweet bag of love! You made my grocery shopping so much better!! xoxo 

Excuse me while I indulge....I may need another bag! 

I found this picture and I LOVE it!! I want to do this with Jason.....I absolutely love COKE! I also want a massive print for our wall....ok maybe not massive....I'll settle for a 4x6....Fun vintage photo!!

Weight loss!!

Well peeps....after my 2nd week on the 90 day Beachbody challenge I've lost......2lbs! I'm thrilled!

I know it's not some huge mind blowing number but that's not what I'm working towards! In reality I only want to lose 10lbs. I'm more interested in toning, tightening, and firming up ares my kids killed!! I'm so thirlled with how supportive Jason has been....he even wants to try turbo jam with me....I would love to see that! Over all I feel great!! I've upped how much I'm working out. I've always gone to the gym M-F @ 5m, now I'm adding a night routine. Once the kids are in bed I do a different turbo workout...I thought I'd get sick of all the exercise but I love it!! I get so excited for the kids to head to bed so I can get my groove on! This will really help shock my body and get things moving in the right direction!

(if I'm brave I'll let Jason take of picture of me turbo jammimg!)

My Progress!!

I'm acutally doing way better than I thought I would when it comes to cutting back my candy! It's been 2 weeks since I've bought a fountain drink....I've switched to 12oz cans from there I will cut back how often I drink soda....I'm not going to lie cutting back on my Coke is sooo hard! It's my mommy reward, when I'm having a hard day or I just want a little treat that's my go to feel good comfort treat! My husband likes to tease me about always having the drink holder full!..... "Just because the jeep has a cup holder doesn't mean you have to fill it".....insert me rolling eyes! Starting week 2 and loving Turbo Jam....I'm hoping to order Brazilian Butt Lift next week! I've heard that its a great workout and you see results fast!

My Tubo Jam Journey! 

Day 1.....
(Really putting myself out there....)

Lets talk about what I'm wanting to change about my body....shall we.....I can't complain about the progress I've made since I've had Bridger 2 years ago....BUT I want better results and really see the difference in my body....I have NO plans of strutting my stuff in skimpy clothes thats not how I roll....BUT I do want to feel good about how I look when I'm in the mirror clothed or not! I'm probably harder on myself than I should me but who isnt??!

So on the fun journey I will work by butt off or at least toned and firm! haha....Lets go over what I want to achieve!

Over all I'm not looking to just lose pounds, I want and will tone and shape certain areas of my body! On the numbers side I want to drop 10 pounds....I will slim down my sides, hips, butt, back, and thighs...Shaping and toning these ares will help me really see the results! I will not just use Turbo jam, I still plan on weight lifting and cardio!

So about the fun mommy tummy! I will continue to flatten and tone this awesome area!

Gotta love the flab peaking out of my sports bra....I had no idea that was happening and now I'm embarrassed! I have to be real about my goals and this is one of them!! You know that awesome lumpy feeling of your hips and upper thighs (or thats just me)....I will whip it in to shape and make it one smooth area! 

I know I have high hopes for all this....I know I can and will make all this happen! I have so much to change, It's more than just what workout I'm doing. I have been forced to look at what I'm eating and drinking....I love my Coke! It's kinda my mommy reward when I'm feeling down or frustrated, it's my go to comfort and it's got to be cut back! For those of you who know me really well, you know this is going to take a lot of self control....I know that my sweet tooth has got to be put on restriction too! So here's to a new me and new attitude! I can't wait to take 30, 60, & 90 day pictures!! I hope you follow my journey and feel encouraged to start one of your own!
