September has flown by....






Ugh! I am so disappointed in myself. I have completely fell off the diet and exercise bandwagon! I so desperately need to get back on but I am lacking the determination. It is so hard. Please pray for me!! ;)




I just recently got a job working in the Kidz Club at Gold's Gym. I have not started yet but I am excited! I will get my membership for free, my boys can come with me and the hours are great! I will start in a couple weeks once my parents leave town.




On that note, my parents are coming in for a visit this Saturday and they will be here a week! I can't wait to see them even though it has only been almost 2 months since I have seen them. The boys are really excited to see their grandparents!




Duston is settling into his job....starting to gain some accounts! YEEHAW! He is doing great!




Aydan just turned 4 this past Monday! Boy, I can't believe we have a 4 year old! I made some cookies for him to take to his class on Tuesday! The kids really enjoyed that. I made little "hamburger" cookies....made with 2 Nilla Wafers, 1 Keebler Grasshopper (Mint) cookie, Red & Green frosting (made to look like ketchup and either pickles or lettuce), a dab of honey for the top "bun" with a few sesame seeds sprinkled on top. They turned out really cute. We are going to have a birthday party for Aydan this Sunday while my parents are here! It should be a lot of fun!




Weston is doing great! He is really becoming quite the talker...not as much as Aydan though! I don't think anyone can top Aydan's talking! LOL! He is such a "solid" boy! We think he will be bigger than Aydan here sooner or later! Haha! He's our little football player.




We recently added a new addition to the family, a puppy. We named him Harley...he is now 12 weeks old...and growing on the family. I am learning how hard it is to manage having a puppy with two young children....what fun! He is a good puppy though...so it makes it a little easier. We are told from the SPCA (we "rescued" him) that he is a Beagle mix...with what???? Well, we aren't sure with what....a little frustrating if you ask me! He resembles a Lab in the face but he is really scrawny....and Labs are thick but who knows? I sure hope he won't be too big!




We recently dealt with Hurricane Ike and being without water & power for a whole week! It doesn't sound like it would be that bad but just TRUST me...it is! We didn't suffer any damage here thank God! But there are a lot of trees down everywhere! We are so thankful because we have a handful of trees right next to our home. None of them fell on our house! Whew!




Well, I think that is the update for now! Take care and God bless! Until next time..............

Exercise! Exercise! Exercise!

Well, I have been working out now for a few months and have lost about 21lbs! I am so motivated. One picture was all it took to get me to see reality! Whoa was that a reality check! I never knew I was that big! Yikers! I really love to work out. I recently started working out with my best friend and that has been fantabulous! She motivates me and I like to think that I do the same for her!

Duston is doing great at his new job! He loves it! He recently just went on a weekend with the guys to the beach and had a blast! It was good for him. He has started to work out again also,...not that he needs to lose any weight...must be nice! He just wants to be "buff"....hehe.

Aydan is a real handful these days. He just finished up a Summer Mother's Day Out 6 week program and had a lot of fun. He will start up again in September. He will go for 3 days a week! Mommy and Weston will have some time together!

Weston is growing like a weed. At his 18month checkup, the doctors couldn't believe their eyes at how much he has grown! It's great! It is why we call him "Bubba"...he is so much fun!

We are going to Ohio for a visit in a week and a half and we are sooo pumped. Especially Aydan...he can't wait to go on a plane!
