Puke, Poop, and Lots of Love

I am sitting here watching my son climb on a toddler chair and standing up on it, such the dare devil! I am not even worried that he may fall because he has some amazing balance for a toddler! There is that word again... "toddler" I still can't believe that he is 13 months! Time has passed so quickly and I have enjoyed every minute of it. He really is showing more and more of his own personality and loves to dance!!! Very musical also! My daughter is changing right before my eyes too. Talking like a grown up, and just amazes me everyday. She is head over heels in Disney Princesses and I wonder where did this come from? Really? Cause I am not a girly girl! We played dress up not to long ago where I broke out my wedding dress. The look on her face was priceless. "Mommy's Princess Dress" as she called it :) Gosh I don't know what I would do if I didn't have them. But of course we all know having a 2 year old and 1 year old isn't just cake and ice cream! We have our "fun" days here. Little Miss has mastered the art of temper tantrums and Louden has the throwing himself on the ground and screaming down pat. Especially when mommy needs to clean and he just wants held... They crack me up, I just want to seriously laugh at some of the things they have fits over!

Last Sunday was Easter and we went to my parents. We didn't get in until Friday afternoon and got settled. Then it was outdoors to let the kids play! I didn't get out this trip. There was a few factors involved in that, 1 I was just flat out exhausted. And 2. One of mom and dads cats decided to take a ride under my car then jump out 7 miles down the road. He is still alive but its one of mom and dad's favorite cats. I still feel sick to my stomach. I hope he finds his way home. Sunday was Easter... I totally forgot to go and see my Grandmother and Grandfather. Totally slipped my mind! I was trying to help get things ready to go for dinner and keep an eye on my kids. Easter went great! The kids woke up to their little baskets, sorry I don't think Easter should be the 2nd Christmas. They got a few trinkets, bubbles, candy and a stuffed bunny each. Louden's had a few matchbox cars in it and Victoria's a dress up dress. The only reason she got the dress was because it was on sale and I threw the other ratty green dress out. Seriously, this shit of buying your kid a new bike or a bunch of toys at Easter is dumb.... Ok fine if you got that as a kid, but what did you start expecting when you were 8? A 4 wheeler from the Easter bunny? Sorry just don't get it. And people wonder why their kids are spoiled... Sorry about my rant,.it just irks me. But anyways! The kids had an awesome egg hunt, although as soon as they started it started raining. Go figure! Yeah so I wasn't going to get my camera wet so I missed out on a few pics. As SOON as my daughter finished it stopped. UGH! Oh well. They both had fun!

We actually got a family picture! Ok I know we are harder on pics of ourselves then what others are. I like it its just I don't like the way I look. Its almost a cross between Pot and a stuffed sausage. But you know it has my kids in it and my husband so its perfect :)

Gosh so much went on! We had all the grandkids together and didn't even get a big family picture :( So bummed. Hopefully we can get one in June. My cousin is getting married and its going to be awesome to see family I haven't seen in a very long time.

Well I need to get off of here and get to working out! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

Addie, 8 months has gone to fast and you were gone to soon. Your momma misses you as do all of us. Keep watching over her and give her strength.

Wow it has been a month since I posted something up in this blog! Its been busy! lol! I started my Photog bizz and it has really taken off, although I was only charging $60 and just raised it to $125, which I think is still a good price! Haven't had any bites for June yet with the new price... We will see though. I am hoping with the new clients that will generate new business. That is the way it goes though. It takes someones friends to like your work in order to get a booking.

On a personal note I have started my weight loss journey in hopes to fit into this wonderful vintage style dress in time for my sister in laws wedding. Its freaking hard! I mean really! I am suppose to eat a certain amount of calories a day and that is tough! Ok if I eat crap it isn't but I eat fruits and veggies and all that yummy stuff. I am rocking it out to p90x and it is kicking my butt!!!! LOVE IT!!! Getting ready to up my weights again! Its weird because I feel like I am becoming addicted to working out! I can feel it on those days that I don't... Yay!


Well the kids are doing great! Victoria's hair is getting curly and she even has a few freckles!!! Louden, now he is ALLLLLL boy! Loves to climb on stuff and just be a boy! Its great! We are going to go attempt some Easter pics today as well as a family shot. I think the last time we had a good fam shot was when Louden was born....

Louden is such the velcro baby! He is attached to me 24/7 :) Lol! Its funny cause I can leave and he will be ok, but the moment he sees me the waterworks turn on! Crazy! Victoria is becoming more and more the young lady. Seriously into princesses. I think I have watched The Princess Frog about 15 times within a few weeks... Between that one and the little mermaid... But the great news is! The weather is finally nice, and they are both healthy again so it is time for some serious outdoors play!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!! Ok well time to drink my 2nd cup of coffee and get going on some p90x! I hope you all enjoy your day!!! I know I will :)
