Invite for a friend that i'm making for her

Here's the first "draft" Judy! Let me know what ya like and don't like!

Curtains!

WOO HOO we got curtains for the family room and scraproom/office! Two rooms is better then none! We've been in the house for almost 4 months, so it's about time! LOL!

You may have noticed I changed the scraproom name to /office, well Reed's working from home now!!! This is a GREAT thing! So he set up his space this weekend. It's a little cramped, but it's so good to have him home all the time and the girls and puppies LOVE it.

The workouts and eating right is still going pretty good 7 lbs down! Lately I've been pretty tired I have no idea why and NO I'm not pregnant! LOL! So it's been a little tough to get in those workouts and the puppies are making it a little difficult, they just want to be where ever you are no matter what you're doing! That's puppies I guess!

Well off to get ready for the day!

Good weekend

first entry

Overall it was a great weekend! Friday we hung out and did nothing, Reed worked on his computer and I scrapped, no surprise there! My scrapping goal are easily coming along, not too sure if I'll be able to scrap as much as I have been so far this year, but at least I have a great start! Saturday we cleaned up around the house, I started exercising again. Going to really to it this time. I ran a mile to get the blood pumping and then I did the Firm video. I really do love that video, it's so fun! Hard but fun. The puppies had their first shots Saturday afternoon along with a check up and everything with them looks great! WOO HOO! Healthy pups! Saturday night I scrapped more while Reed finished up on his computer then we hung out and watched Red Eye. Just my opinion but I thought is was stupid, wanted it to be better I love that chick! Sunday, couldn't believe it Reed let me sleep in! WOO HOO! Anyone who knows Reed knows sleeping is his vice, has to have it or else! LOL! Well it was his turn to get up with the pups and instead of dealing with them and coming back to bed, he handled our girls too! I was so excited when I woke up and it was 10:30! This doesn't EVER happen for me and let me tell you I loved every bit of it! So the rest of the day was playing games with Rylee, taking care and cuddling poor sick Neely and playing with the pups. Then last night I came in here and decided if I was really going to pull off this losing weight I needed something to keep track, so what did I do. I made an album! LOL! I hope to make a new page entry every week with progress.

Well time to start the day!

Busy Busy Busy

Well this week just flew by! Four kids is a whole lot of work even if 2 of them are puppies! We're all having so much fun with the new kids though! They seem to be adjusting very well which is awesome! They have there first set of shots this afternoon, I'm trying to find a way I can convince Reed to take them alone, not sure if I can handle that.

Rylee's asthma got worse this week and now has to be on singular so that's a bummer but at least this will hopefully control it. Then right as Rylee starts feeling better Neely starts with a fever and cough! UGH! Yesterday I even think I heard some wheezing, I sure hope it wasn't though.

I've managed to work out this week but eating hasn't been so great! That is going to change as of right now though. I started to work on my Book of Us this morning and was searching for older pictures of Reed and I and I came across this picture of me in a tight tank top and my arms were skinny and I didn't look ridiculous in the waist either! So I'm putting that pick on my fridge NOW and hopefully this will help me get back into gear! I know I should base my goal on what I looked like 6 years ago and before 2 kids, but have you seen Kelly Ripa? Three kids and holy moly she looks amazing! I know she has lots of money to pay people to help her, but I know I can do it! Maybe not look exactly like I did in the picture but lets aim of close!

We'll see how the eating goes today! Just need to remember food will be there tomorrow!!!

HOLY MOLY

So this was one BUSY weekend! We have an addition to the family...please welcome Lila and Kali! We just got them on Saturday and the girls are LOVIN' them and of course so are we! So far everything is going great, but it sure is like having a newborn in the house! But it's so worth it!

So other then the new little puppies, I have been busy trying to catch up on scrapping! I finally finished October 2005 today! WOO HOO! I think I'm going to take a break for the actual yearly album and start on our new house album. Should be LOTS of fun!

The workouts are going pretty good, actually managed to get one in today believe it or not with being home alone for the first time with 4 kids! LOL! It's like 4 kids I'm sure! Eating wasn't too bad either except for the brownie! I need to get them out of the house!

Well I'm sure I'll be up a couple time tonight so I'm off to hit the sack!

Finally better...

Since New Years Eve when the cold decided to come! Great timing HUH!?! Not really!!!
But today was a much better day so that was awesome!

Didn't do much except the norm, hang out with the girls, read a million and one books while we re organized their book shelf, watched Nemo yet again! And did some household chores.

I did however manage to do some fun stuff in the scrap room, I hung up some new little cube things, hung up some more picture frames on some book shelves and altered things I made and that friends have made me. And I started 2 new projects, an altered candle and a canvas full of family pictures. Hope to post pics soon!

Well off to work more on the canvas!

Pretty good day

So I should have posted yesterday (based on my goals) but I didn't! No surprise there!

Today started out pretty good, girls weren't crabby when they woke up which was fantastic! We all just hung out, played with toys from Christmas and kinda watched Nemo! If you know Neely, again no surprise there either! I did my chores, and worked out! WOO HOO! I'm trying to get into before the new year so I don't have to make it a resolution AGAIN!!! I joined selfdietclub.com today too, it's free which is the BEST part and it's really easy to use too! Love the mag, so hopefully this will help with keeping track of things...food and exercise.

AND...I got to scrap too!!! Both my kids took naps at the same time! So I got to actually do a REAL layout, which I haven't been able to do since before the holidays started!

So it's about time for the girls to go to bed, my dear sweet hubby is going to start is addiction to Playstation again tonight. It's been a LONG time since he's played, but I'm sure it will once again become a nightly event! Which is fine by me b/c again I get to lock myself in the scraproom!!!

So until next time!

What did i tell you!

I realized maybe I do get hits every once in awhile when I went MIA on a MB I am a regular at and someone had mentioned checking here and that I have NOT updated in awhile! OOPS!!!

So here I am 5 days before the new year, making a early resolution to keep up with this blog at least 3 times a week! I can't commit to more! And if you know me, you totally understand. I may be a little absent minded at times! Who me??? No way!!!

So tomorrow will start this new phase for me! Wish me luck!

See I told you I was bad at keeping up...

OMGish things have been so crazy around here lately! I really don't know what's been happening! LMAO!

We got our keys to our new house today! WOO HOO! We get to start all the work this weekend! Yippie! Taking off the popcorn is first the ripping up all the flooring! WOO HOO! And also replacing the windows! I can't wait to get started!

The whole WW thing has been going great though! I'm really happy with my progress and working out has been a regular event as well!

I hope to keep up daily from now on!

Monday again!

Okay so this trying to lose weight all by myself is NOT working! So I decided to joing WW online and yesterday and so far so good! I love it you just have to input what you eat and then calculates the points for you! And the best part was yesterday I made a weeks worth of meals on the site and then it printed my shopping list! WOO HOO!

So anyways besides my ongoing weight drama today has been great! Started laundry, worked out and made my target list! Hopefully I will be scrappin a little later too.

It's now Saturday

Ahhh, it is so good to be with my hubby! Here at the grandparents house is nice too, we've already gone out once which was a blast! And we'll probably go out for happy hour tonight too! WOO HOO! And I just got back from getting a pedicure and a manicure! Double WOO HOO! Well just wanted to say hello! Have a great day!

Nite Nite 

What a pretty face! 

Momma and her girls 

I love this face! 

Much better night! WOO HOO!

Oh thank goodness! They both crashed out around 7:30! I was so excited. Got to watch BB6 in peace and quite and then I even got to watch a movie! A little weird, but I really liked it. Garden State was the name.

Today has been a really good day too. They girls have both been awesome! Neely just woke up from a little nap and pretty soon we'll head off to my grandparents again where we'll have dinner and just hang out. We're meeting up with Reed tomorrow, which I am SO excited about! I miss him TONS and the girls really miss him too!

Have a good night everyone!

Horrible Night

It took me almost 2 hours to get these girls to fall asleep last night. I finally fall alseep around 11pm and of course Neely decides to wake up at 12 something! OMGish and she won't go back to sleep so I bring her to bed with me and of course she doesn't fall asleep. So I put her back in her playpen at 1:18am and she goes to sleep! WOO HOO! NOT! Wakes up yet again at 3:24! Are you kidding me? Again I bring her to bed with me and the same story!!! I can't believe this. I tried again to put her back to her crib and she wasn't having that. I'm trying to be nice b/c of all the other hotelguests or else I would have just let her screem to sleep! But I can't do that so she finally crashes we me until about 7:20. It was awful! Okay I'm done!

Today she be a fun day we're headed over to my grandparents house to hang out with my dad and it's so pretty up here so I plan to take TONS of pics with my new camera! Can't wait better get in the shower!

I am so bad about this BLOG thing!

LOL! I need to get better!

So most of you know I took the girls to Pinetop today! Oh boy was that a fun drive! It's 4 hours from my door to the welcome sign in Show Low! Pretty much they were great, except for my little chatter box Rylee! She brings her game boy, coloring books, bookd on CDs and her leap pad but somehow she manages to CHAT the entire time!!! LMAO! Really it wasn't that bad, but when you're trying to just drive and think you just wanna say SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! But I don't, I just listen and reply as needed! Neely did take a nap which is always a plus!

We checked into our hotel got all settled then my dad came over and hung out for awhile. Then we went to this very yummy resturant called Charlie Clarks, ymmm it was good!!!

Now we're back and they are going NUTS in this hotel room! They are so overly tired but of course will not go to sleep! Kids! So I sit here so happy that this hotel room has internet access and just wanted to read my new photoshop book but thats not really working since i have to use my laptop screen to read the book! Maybe I should just go to sleep! Yeah right!

Oh yeah and the WW thing isn't going so great, what's a girl to do. I guess just keep trying!

Talk to you next time!

Not going so good anymore!

Uggh! Well I lost 4 lbs and now it's back again! OMGish this is not easy! Oh man I know Reed's going to read this, and he doesn't know yet. But baby i'm not giving up! And i'm still walking everyday! Thanks for believing in my baby!

I have to kids and they eat yummy snacks and i'm human I like yummy snacks!!! Once again I'm not giving up!

This morning has been pretty good, coffee, tortilla a butter (bad choice I know) and some fruit. Should hold me over until lunch.

Today Rylee wants to scrap all day! Surprise, she always does. But first we're going to make a sun and flower craft and then it should be lunch time and Neely's naptime and then scrap time for Rylee and Momma!

See you later!

Oh boy have we been CRAZY busy!!!

Okay so you don't know we sold our house and had NO idea where we were going to live! Reed was looking for jobs out of town and state but just found out last week those feel through. So we started looking in town for a house last Thursday and we found the ONE!!! We had an offer Friday morning and got it!!! WOO HOO!!! I still can't believe it.

Then we went out of town to see my dad Friday afternoon and now were home and TIRED!

Today eating wise was good, hopefully during all this craziness it will continue!
