Landons Here

Landon was born on Sept 3rd at 7:20 pm.

He was 7 lbs 4 oz

Hes Almost One

Landon will be one in a few weeks and I am working on myself now. I am trying to get back into the "Before you were a mommy" jeans. I have started eating healthier and started walking everyday. I need to do more but I am steadily loosing weight. I started four weeks ago at 176. I am now 168

Well Baby boy is five months now

My little ham is 5mths now!!!

 

Oh how his brother and sister love him. His sister thinks he's her personal baby doll and carries him all over the place. His cousin DJ is the same way. Most of the time they fight over who gets to hold him.

Were Pregnant

I haven't posted in a while but we are pregnant. This is our second boy! I am 40 days away from the finish line of getting to see my little one. Planning baby showers for me and a friend who are only one or two days apart. Planning what to do with my other two kids while I'm in the hospital and packing for it. Getting ready to leave work and have someone else do my job for a month and a half. Landon will be born on Sept 13th because he is a scheduled C-section this time around.

Howard Baby News

Well so I found out on Jan 7th I am pregnant. Confirmed it with a blood test on Jan.10th. Told the family on the 12th. I hope I can do better with this pregnancy then the others. I feel bad because with my son we did it all. He was our first so we took pics of the bellys growth and every two months after he was born. I have photo albums of everything up to his first Thanksgiving then I got sloppy and my husband lost his job so money was tight. We got pregnant with our daughter and because I was still fat from my son we didn't do the belly shots and money was tight so most of her pics are on my couch and none of her first three years are printed. I have just started printing pictures of her. Now I am pregnant again. Still fat from the last two c-sections so I wont be doing belly pictures again and I am hoping to keep up with baby books and pictures. My son wants me to have a boy and my daughter of course wants a sister. There have been jokes about twins since I am one. My first doctors appointment is Feb 13th. I got the same doctor that delivered my daughter so he knows me and his work. from what I can tell I am about five weeks now so I should be around eight weeks when I finally see a doctor.

I weighted in today at 149lbs. I quit soda completely this morning. I have 10 days left until my goal day. If I could loose 5lbs in that time I would be happy even though its not where I wanted to be. I do situps almost every night. I need to do my workout videos. What I really need is a drill sargent yelling at me to get my lazy a$$ up and try harder. I am uploading a picture of what my tummy looks like right now and I will update it every time I post.

Most days my day would start off with a soda and a special k bar, beef jerky for lunch and whatever Clay made for dinner.

Today I have had two tea's , a special k bar and rice

Accident

So I was going to post something about my weight but I could careless about that right now.On Saturday my husband and I had talked my sister and her husband into going on a motorcycle ride to Hollywood to see the sights. Tammy and Josh had been fighting and we wanted them to come and share our special day. Tammy was debating on riding with me to drop off the kids at my mother in laws or to just go on the bike. I forced her hand by leaving in the van with the kids before she came back outside. When I got to my M.I.L's they were all outside. Then my S.I.L.'s kids helped me get my kids inside while my M.I.L. told me that Clay was trying to reach me because they laid down. Going on little to no info I got back in my car with my S.I.L. and drove back to my sisters house. One street outside her house was the police and fire. I rounded the firetrucks to see both bikes down and an SUV. (the picture is above). I started to cry. I had been informed that all my family had been taken by ambulance to the hospital. Josh and Tammy (the bike in front) had impacted (hit) the SUV when she turned left infront of them. Clay (the bike in back) had two choices A. turn left and run over Josh and Tammy or B. lay it down and roll. He choose B. When he finally stopped rolling he found himself under the SUV with her back passenger tire at his rib cage. All are okay, minor injuries and roadrash. I could have lost three family members in one day. My neice and nephew could have been orphens and I could have been a widow. All because she was in a hurry to set up for a party. Please people learn from this ladys mistake. Slow down one extra minute won't kill you but it may kill someone else.

I know some poeple hate Motorcycles because they do certin things that make people mad. Yes, they cut through traffic. If they don't they will overheat. Yes, they sometimes move up to the front at a light. That is for visability. Yes, they have loud pipes. That is for survival, they rev them so you hear them. Next time you are around someone with a motorcycle ask them to honk the horn.... My sons bike horn is louder then a motorcycle horn.

Better days ahead.

I actually ate healthy today. I started the day with a yogurt, string cheese and tea. I ate a special k bar for snack. I had a yogurt, string cheese and salad for lunch. I have had water today and no soda so far.

Stressed

I am so stressed out right now because of our mortgage company. I am trying to decide what is best for our family.My husband doesn't make as much as he use too. We are struggling and the mortgage company is trying to mess with us. I am trying to figure out if we should short sale, forclose, or get lawyers and fight. I don't trust the lawyers we have right now. So Im thinking about asking my buddy Russell's Lawyer to look at my mortgage paperwork to see if I have a case. I am thinking about asking my friend and realitor Jeannie if I should Quick Sale and if I do quick sale do I move in with my mother in law to stay close to my job (my very good job with good caring people) or move up to my dad ( so Clay would have a good job with very caring people and me with my dads side of the family)???? So many options. We have two small children and we need to keep a roof over their heads. We have two no-working classic cars that have a history for both of us. We have two dogs (although one seems to be very sick). ugh to much to think about....

Day 3... Forgot to do Day 2

Okay so I missed yesterday. It was terriable anyway. Just imagine everything you can eat wrong I did. I thought to myself that I could put whatever I want on my post and nobody whould know.... But then I would be lying to myself. What does lying to yourself accomplish? I am going to do the shopping next week. Veggies, cheeses, yogurts, and salads...

Please if I could get suggestions and maybe things to avoid it would help

Day 1

Okay so I woke up this morning and weighed myself. I am 154.5 lbs. Im not crazy about this. I need to learn how to eat better. I am a very picky eater. My husband does the shopping and he buys junk. My son asked for bananas and my husband brings home cakes (ugh). I've come to the realization that I hide behind my kids in family pictures.

Yesterday was a bad day. I had dounuts, 2 sodas, 2 glasses of tea three chicken nuggets, an instant mac & cheese and tatter tots. oh and some peanut butter crackers and tortilla chips.

When I got home from work I did go in our pool (It goes up to my knees and Im short). I tried to do swimming but with my mother, husband, and two kids in there with me and it being such a small pool it wasn't going to happen.

I started the day off with 30 situps.
So today so far I have had for breakfast: one cake (I know), a soda and a special k bar
Lunch: tea and an instant mac & cheese

Loosing the baby fat

I have a six year old son and an almost four year old daughter. Although I know I will never be 110 lbs again I would like to loose the "baby fat". I am currently (according to my doctor's visit last Thursday) 155lbs. I would like to be 130-135lbs. This is what I was before having my son. I am going to use my blog to note my progress and my failures. This last weekend I did 40 situps each day. However, so far today I have failed with dounuts, chocolate and soda :insert sad face: On here is where I will list what I ate and worked out the day before.... Expect a post tomorrow!!!

Half a year later

Update on my family.... Colby is almost done with Kindergarten and he hates it most of the time but is exceling. Colby turns six this year and has asked for a superman, spiderman and batman cake/party. He loves building legos and riding his bike.Hayden is very impatient to start school even though she is only turning four this year. She is learning to ride her bike still since hers has had a flat for a few months she got a late start.

Clay went snowboarding only once this winter. Not because there wasnt any snow... nope he broke his arm. Yep!!! Landed on it not once, not twice but three times before he quit. GUYS!!!!

Now for the joke.... How many women does it take to get a man to the hospital for xrays?????

Count them with me... His mom, Grandma, sister, neice, aunt, my mom, and his wife....7.

I have an overactive thyroid. Getting old is a pain

I also wanted to add a new picture of my twin and me. We have both lost weight... (I'm on the left)

Whats new with me....

Hello its been a while since I have been on here. Its the end of August. My son has started Kindergarten and loves it. He has made a few new friends and can spell his name and write the alphabet. We love his teacher. Hayden loves the trips to the school and back to drop off and pick him up. My mother takes them on her scooter and has a wagon that hooks to it to pull my sisters kids behind her. There have only been a few hicups with getting him to school and back. I got new family photos taken by my brother in law. I love the new pics and I will be getting Colby's school pics soon.

We took the kids camping for their first time last month. We all went up to Heart Bar with my cousin and her family and my co- worker. We had fun and wish we could have stayed longer. Maybe soon we can go again.

We have made plans to go to Oregon for Thanksgiving. It gets harder and harder to leave that state everytime we go. I love my husbands family dont get me wrong. I just miss the hell out of mine. I miss my dad, he was always there for us. I miss my big sister and her family, we have always been real close. I miss my Aunt Karen and and her singing. I miss all my cousins and the crazy games we would all play. I even miss my uncles who would pick on me because "If I were a guy I could do it"......

The Rain Storm

I almost forgot to mention the Rain Storm, not that you could miss it with the news coverage. I have pictured of the city next to mine and the city my twin lives in.

2011 is here!!!!

Okay so we rang in the New Year our normal way.... Party at our house. It was fun. I didnt get drunk or dance as much as I have in the previous years but we still had a blast.

Right before Christmas Clay, my husband, lost his job and we have been scrapping by since. However, as of last week he was hired as a maintenance tech for John's Incrediable Pizza. He starts this Thursday. I also got a raise so hopefully we will beable to keep our house. We need to have our mortgage in the account by the 1st or they will no longer cut it in half for us.... Pray. New picture time... although I dont have the new pictures of our New Years party or our snow trip because someone broke our computer on New Years Eve. Here is what I do have....above

Time to update pictures and my status.... The mortgage thing has been fixed...So we are staying in California for now. Rode on the back of my husbands bike for the first time in a long time last weekend. I am also coming up on my 30th birthday and plan on doing it at least ten pounds lighter....

Its Fall 2010

It's hot... We have been having problems with paying our mortgage. We are having our mortgage company look into a lower payment but haven't heard anything from them.... We are looking to maybe move to Oregon where my dads side of the family lives but that would mean leaving my twin here in California until her husband is ready to leave. Our kids are so close. Hayden is getting so ig. We are potty training right now and she loves it. Colby is doing good, we are working on colors, shapes, and numbers. He knows his alphabete by saying it but can't recognize it on paper yet. He is big into airplanes right now.... Hayden loves shoes, and dress- ups. Halloween is coming we will have to see if we can get her into a costume.

Our house

Okay so our house is old. Our game room is slowly falling apart and needs to be taken down and rebuilt but I want to add on to the square footage of our little 900 square foot home. I want to add on a master bedroom and a master bath. Also adding on a laundry room would help out making space in the garage. In the mean time I am having fun fixing up the part of the house thats not "In my Dreams" We made the kids bedroom closet have sliding doors instead of hanging doors a few years ago but never finished the job. I finally convinced my husband it was time and he hung the molding now I just need to do the filling and painting. I also got him to replace the light in the hallway with a can light. Now to get him to change the doors in our bed room and build a new hall closet from scratch.... Wish me luck
