Ugh.

1. So I know I stink at this blogging thing.  I'll try to do better.  No really.  It comes right after finding time to sleep and shower.  THEN I can find the time to do this.   But I do want to update once a week...baby steps...

2. I have been working out, watching what I eat, really honest to goodness trying.  Guess how much weight I've lost already.  Drumroll please....
2lbs.  Nope not kidding.  The scale has consitistently 2 lbs. lower.  After an entire month and week of working hard.  I'm not about to give up though, I have to loose it by my 10 yr anniversary in Aug.  That's the goal!!

3.  Our poor lil kitty was really sick when I woke up yesterday.  Lethargic, dizzy, pretty much a mess.  Today when I woke up she was dead on the bathroom floor.  We had just had her fixed 2 weeks ago and from what I've read online we're assuming she died of accute kidney failure as a post reaction to the anesthesia.  I woke Monkey 1 up to tell him first, knowing he'd take it the hardest,  then told the other monkeys all together.   I'm not a big animal lover, but made me so sad to see my babies sad.  Poor lil Violet.  She'll be missed.

4.  Okay...kids...Monkey # 1:  Had a tree planting field trip last week I got to chaperone.    A wii addict.  Loving the choose your own adventure books (they just released some for younger kids).  Won't stop antagonizing Monkey #3.  Signed up for Minors Baseball.  Still has the cutest freckles you ever did see...and loves mom pointing it out constantly:).

Monkey #2: Lost another tooth,  and this is always followed by a pack of gum bought with the tooth fairy $.  The pack of gum is gone by the next day . every. single. time.
Having some problems with a girl @ school being mean, makes my heart sad.  Becoming quite the little artist.

Monkey #3:  Very first trip to the Library last week.  When he saw the flags he said, "look mom an American flag and a pirate flag." to which I said  " it's the Oregon flag."...to which he said " nuh -uh.  I know what a pirate flag is!" :)
And he remembers every dance move the backyardigans bust out. and every lyric they sing.

Monkey #4:  WILL NOT STOP NURSING!!!  He's seriously like a newborn, up every 2 hrs or so.  and he SCREAMS bloody murder which wakes the rest of the people in our house up.  So yes, then I give in and complain about it anyways.  Even lemon juice wasn't a deterent.  He takes his diaper off constantly.  He gives loves like crazy.  He makes silly faces constantly and thinks it's funny to act mad.

5.  Need a date with my husband.  Really need some time for just us.  I miss him...


God Bless,
 Mandy

A New Year...


So 2010 is here...a new year, a fresh start!




I am going along with the whole ONE WORD thing. 
http://www.myoneword.org/
So my word for this new year? 

FOUNDATION

I know it isn't a glamorous word, but it's what I hope to have for this fresh start.  A foundation of Faith, a foundation of health,  a foundation of my photography, etc. , etc.

A foundation that is secure, firm, built on THE ROCK, from which all else may be established.   God Bless all of you in your New Year...
what is your ONE WORD?

Christmas Picture Outake!-I'd rather take pictures of ANY kids other than my own! 




1.  I am now 29 years old...some days it feels 79!  I guess that's what happens when you don't get more than 2 hrs of straight sleep in almost 10 yrs.  Spent the day yesterday as usual, home with the kids,Honey @ work.  The kids each bought me another lil birdy to add to my collection which they were very excited about (from the dollar store).  Then Mimi came and watched them while Honey and I went out for Mexican food and saw Old Dogs.  Cute movie.  Then we came home, had cake the kiddos made and went to bed!  29 is gonna be a good year for me!

2.  Monkey 3 refered to the spider in my jacket as a coyote spider ( instead of a wolf spider.)

3.  So glad my mom knows when I need a break, even when I don't tell her.  She came and stole the kids away for a few hours the other day so I could have some peace.  Thanks Mom


4.  Have too many ideas racing through my head of fun vintage projects do, make or try.  Like I have the time for more hobbies!  But checking out some blogs/online shops have the juices flowing!


5.  Instead of braving the cold for the parade tonight we stayed home and played hide n' seek with a flashlight.   That's so much better anyways!


God Bless,

Mandy
