Anyone else?

We are on clothes overload, is anyone else? I know I've posted about this regarding my boys clothes. I guess some of it is due to the weightloss. I wanted to make sure that I kept the weight off so that I'm not constantly buying 3 different sizes. I have managed to throw away about two garbage bags full. I took 2 bags to the store today to consign. It always cracks me up at what they take and what they don't. Lol! I think out of about 50 items I took they kept 14 pieces of clothing.

It seems I want to hang onto my clothes, all of them. I have clothes for several occasions which probably makes it difficult. I have baseball clothes, workout clothes, dressy, casual, super casual and formal! Cut me some slack I'm a woman, right?

When we moved in our house we have a huge walkin closet. I took one side and the hubs took the other, now I have 3/4 of the entire 5 foot by 12 foot closet! Sorry hubs! He is the best husband, he never complains about all my stuff! Love, love him!

Wish me luck as I organize and get rid of atleast 3 more sacks of clothes! THEY MUST GO!

Am I the only woman with this issue?

So much to post.....

To start off......I have two boys on an antibiotic! One has a sinus infection and the other one has an ear infection! We will definitely be staying in loving on our boys this weekend!

I got a phone call from a dear friend yesterday, she said I had been on her mind, so she wanted to call and check on me! So, so nice of her! Love ya GB!

E-man went to school yesterday and managed to ace another spelling test even though he didn't feel good! So.proud.of.him

As I'm trying to lose weight, I have done lots of reading and research and we all know the recommendations of the food pyramid, I can't seem to get in 4-6 servings of fruits and veggies for my kids. Every night we try to snack on grapes, apples, or oranges. And I typically have 1-2 veggies at dinner. So at most I'd say they get 3 servings a day. Let me know what you all do to get in your veggies and fruit for your children!

Enjoy your weekend! I'm going to curl up with two sweetie pies all weekend!

Dieting full force

I've started dieting full force again on monday, I have maintained my 30 lbs that I have lost, so now I'm trying to lose another 20 by Easter! That might be unrealistic but I'm trying! I wanted my one year goal to be 50 lbs but my diet started March 25th 2011.
I will get another 20 lbs off by summer! I'm so determined! I feel so much better and the compliments are so nice to hear too 

I will keep the blog updated on my weight loss. As of right now I'm eating 1500 calories and I'm working out 20 days a month!

I'm going to be walking/running in the RUN FOR THE GOLD 3k in March, so I'm trying to prepare for that! Wish me luck!

Cancer strikes again......

Quite honestly I'm sick of hearing of friends/family getting diagnosed with cancer! It's so scary, in the past three to four months we have had two family members, three co-workers and two friends! That's alot of people in our close circle of friends!

It makes me sad and scared! It can hit anyone of us!

One of our friends is having surgery in the morning, please think of her and pray for complete healing! She is an awesome lady!

And FYI.....the storm never came.....not even a flurry here!

One brave momma.....

2 post in one day, can you believe it? Ok me either, but I couldn't resist!

Tonight we decided to go out to eat for dinner, so the boys had to go to the bathroom and on the way there, we had to pass a table with a mom and dad and 3 kiddos, and they were all drinking Mt dew! I know my mouth dropped when I glanced over, not on purpose ofcourse, and I don't typically judge other mothers, because I've been in their shoes.....I am in their shoes, and sometimes we do some crazy stuff for our children for one reason or another. As I sit here and rock my baby tonight, I can't help but think of that lady, I bet her kiddos are bouncing off the walls right about now!

Totally random, I know!

The calm before the storm.....

Today is a nice day, the sun is shinning, and it looks like it's going to be a pretty day! I took the boys outside for about 25 mins and we got to enjoy the sunshine!

Bre man rode his bike and practiced a lil baseball, and EE practiced baseball also for his evaluations that are tomorrow!

The news said bad weather is coming in tonight, starting around 3 am, and we are suppose to get anywhere between 2-4 inches! Snow makes me excited, really excited, we haven't
Been able to get the boys out to go sledding this year 
Now that being said, we have some fun things planned tomorrow......so in a perfect world, we will get the snow so we can go sledding and the roads get cleared so we can enjoy our day!

Enjoy your Sat, we are going to make hot chocolate and cuddle the boys and watch diary of a wimpy kid tonight!

Another weekend

Another weekend is upon us! Time flies when your having fun! So I guess the old saying is true! Life truly couldn't get better for my family right now, other then my parents health, and that's in God's hands!

We celebrated love on Valentines day and it was great, even if it meant taking our dinner to the hubs work and eating with him!
We got to spend the late afternoon with my parents and nini and papaw came to visit and brought goodies as well! WE ARE ALL VERY LOVED!

I have a secret sister that also spoiled me and showed me love on V-day! So, so sweet of her!

We will kick off our weekend by hosting the Watt's family Friday night for dinner! How does lasagna and homemade garlic bread sound?

Saturday is going to be our big breakfast morning and we get to be lazy and love on the boys all day!

Sunday is baby T's 2nd birthday party, we can't wait to celebrate with him, Mickey and Elmo! So exciting! Then we also have baseball evaluations so E-man gets to go show off his baseball skills! It won't matter what score they give him, since I'm coaching, he's my first pick in the draft! He has been my first round draft pick for the last 3 seasons! So exciting, coach Lee, I hope your ready for another year!

Blessed Weekend

We had an awesome weekend! Daddy was home all weekend which is so nice with his crazy schedule, we love daddy being home all weekend!

We got to do the fun birthday party stuff and baking on Friday so that we could celebrate pur birthday boy on sat! Lots of friends and family showed up to celebrate with us! So nice of all of them!

I got to workout at the gym both days too! I love to workout, now I'm back to strictly counting calories again, so I can lose 20 more pounds!

Wish me luck!

Going to bed tonight thanking God for all the blessings in my life, and thanking him for my two miracle babies!

Bre's Party

I can't explain how happy and excited I am that God gave us this precious baby boy 3 years ago!

He is quite a joy, a lil love bug, tater bug, and etc! He is also our Miracle baby, medically speaking.

We celebrated today with friends and family at the Gymnastics Center, and had a really good time!

Here is a picture of the cake I made, I was very stressed about making him a firetruck cake, but then I realized it's for my baby boy, and if it makes him happy, then ofcourse I'm happy! We also had "dalmation" cupcakes!

Thanks to everyone that came to the party to celebrate with us and our baby boy!

Tonight I have made 36 cupcakes, a firetruck cake and my rollup dip!

I'm so excited to celebrate my baby boys 3rd birthday tomorrow!

We love you Bre Bre!

Diet Coke-day 3!

Today is day 3 of no diet coke! Nothing other then flavored water! I don't have a specific reason of not wanting to drink it, other then the expense, and I just feel like it's healthier for me!

I know that it's unrealistic to say I will never drink another one, but for now I've gone three whole days without it!

Total randomness I know!

Closet clean out day

I seriously have enough clothes for about four boys, hmmm.....wonder if that's a sign to have another one!

Let's not talk about quantity of inventory!

Today I started with lil bit's closet, I was able to fill an entire tote of shirts alone to price and put in the baby sale! We tackled his closet before nap and when the boys wake up, we are going to tackle E man's! I said we because believe it or not Bre was a champ, and tried on about 30 shirts, with little fuss!

We are going to head to Walmart for over the door shoe organizers, I don't know how I've lived without them up until now!

It's a bit overwhelming as there are so many clothes between the both of them, but I can't help my boys love to dress "handsome"!

Wish me luck!

Dinner and play date

Excited to go to the Watt's family house tonight for dinner and let the boys play. They have so much fun together and get along great! That's impressive with 3 boys!

Sarah always host a great dinner, and great conversation! We are so excited for them as they just found out they will be having a baby girl this summer!

Speaking of baby girl, I got her a small gift, but super cute!

Thanks for hosting us tonight!

Happy Friday all!
