Artsy Amanda, Happy Birthday~!!

Happy Birthday Amanda!! I am sorry this is the only picture I have on my computer of you and I. I want you to know how wonderful I think you are. This girl rocks!! She is a great photographer, she loves to decorate her friends houses (eventhough it must be so much better to get paid for it!). She is by far the most creative person I know. She is not crafty, she is Artsy!!! She is wonderful at picking out colors, even if you have to just trust her, she is almost always right. Did you know your birthday is just 10 days after Katie's? I was kinda hoping to have her on or near or closer to your birthday hehe. I hope your day has been great, if not we have to do some making up for it. Did I mention that she is the mother of 3 beautiful children? Did I also mention that I am rambling?? Anyway, Amanda happy birthday. You are awesome.

Happy Happy Birthday Katie Dear!!!

I cannot believe it. Where did the time go? My baby princess Kathryn Marie turned 1 today!! I am so blessed to have this little girl in my life, she is wonderful. Do you guys remember when I cried because I wanted a boy? Now I am crying because I don't want this sweet baby girl to get any bigger!! I want to keep her tiny forever. Thank you for this special gift, and Happy Birthday Katie girl. I love you so much!

What is the REAL Story....

I sure hope this statement does not always ring true. It is about time for me to put a real post in here about my real life. I have hit rock bottom girls. What do I do? I have no idea. The weight and toll of my divorce has finally sunk in, and I am so darn scared. How do I pack a house, move, sell a house, find a job, stay with my kids and still come out ahead? I am crying more and more. I try and put on my happy face, and I really need to do some more talking to my Heavenly Father, but I am lost. A few girls have come here to help me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will never be able to thank you enough for helping me. I am so grateful to the friends I have who have been able to help me, and thankful for my friends who have just been there to talk to. I have a long long road ahead of me, and I pray I make it through with a fully-mended heart. Lots of love to you all.

Elvis Has NOT Left the Building

Well Ladies, here I am. And like good concerned friends you are wondering where on earth I have been. Well, I am back. I am blogging again. Let me get you caught up.


Braeden really enjoyed pushing Katie around in this baby stroller. And Katie liked the ride.



This is the garden we planted this year. It now looks like an over grown jungle. Crazy.



This is Braeden and his little friend Ty, pimping it up with the ladies down the street.



I just like this picture. Makes Katie's eyes look sooooo Blue.


Braeden on his new BIG BOY bike!!! YaY Braeden!


Hehe. Guess what.....I broke my toe.



Awwww......what a cute watermelon!


And there you have it. I have a few more pictures to post but this should do it for now. I am alive and I am missing you all terribly. Talk to you all soon I hope!

An Apple a day takes 5 pounds away?

Well girls, honestly I am not really sure who is still doing the fitness challenge. I know I am still plugging away even if I did gain 3 pounds during week 3. I am happy to report for week 4 I have lost 5 fabulous pounds!! That means I lost the 3 from last week, and 2 additional. This also means with 4 weeks to go, I only have 10 more lbs to go. I really need to drink more water, and work out more. Well with Bachelor night, and the Idol/Lost night this week, I have to do a TON of exercising.....I am really pleased with myself. It is amazing how my eating habits have changed. I hope the weight keeps coming off. Thanks for your support girls, and I cannot wait to see how much I lose.
