It's time...

I've decided it's time to hop back on the diet bandwagon. If you know me, you know I struggle with my weight. And with the roller coaster weight gains and weight losses, comes a roller coaster of depression and more depression. Last year I went on weight watchers and lost 30 lbs. I was so proud of myself! But then halloween and thanksgiving came, and I just gave up. I was tired of counting everything I ate and tired of feeling guilty all the time. So I just went the opposite direction and ate everything in sight. Long story short, I've gained back 20 of the 30 lbs(so embarrassing to admit!!). My clothes are all tight and I feel like I'm always depressed. (Sorry, this is not a 'pity me' party. I just feel like I need to make it public that I'm going to try to be good so others will support me. I definitely can't do it on my own!) So today I decided that I'm going to start out light. I'm going to eat smaller portions, eat less sweets, drink my water, and exercise.....is that light? Anyway, I don't know if I can count calories yet. I'll probably work up to that. But at least I have a goal, right? My friend Lindsey has a separate blog where she writes about her diet, and I think I might do that. I can't afford to go to weight watchers meetings, but maybe if I set up a blog, then you guys can comment and give me the guilt trip my meeting leader would normally give me!! So, wish me luck. I'll let you all know how I'm doing!!

I LOVE TWILIGHT!!!!!!!

I just had to put it out there! I LOVE it!! I went and saw Twilight for the second time with Alisa, and I LOVE it!!! Can I say it again??? I LOVE IT!! I saw the movie when it first came out, and didn't like it very much, only because I was analyzing it too much. I had just finished reading the twilight series for the second time, and decided to watch the movie and just enjoy it this time. And I did!!!! I loved it! So, if you haven't read the books or seen the movie, DO IT! Ok, that's all! I just had to share my obsessions with you all.

Oh, and thanks Alisa for the pin!!! LOVE IT!!!!!

Our Little Rock Star

I was so excited to get Guitar Hero for Wii this Christmas. I had only played it once before at Jared and Heathers house, but I knew I would love it. I had no idea how much Jonathan would like it! I hesitated at first when he said he wanted to play with me, but decided that he was old enough to be careful with the guitar. We were so amazed to find out that he actually gets the whole concept, and does really well with it! It only took him a few songs before he was able to play through a song. And now, a month after Christmas, he gets 80-90% of the notes right in the easy mode. It's funny to watch him too because he concentrates really hard while he's playing, and then when there's a break with no notes, he rocks out, swinging the guitar around and dancing. It's pretty darn funny! We have our own little rock star!

Terrible almost-two's!!

Well, I guess I wouldn't call them terrible. I guess I'm just tired of cleaning up after my daughter! :) I had just gotten back from the movies, and was talking to Trevor. Emily was out of my sight for all of two minutes!! I noticed she was quiet and went to check on her. This is what I found.


She had pushed a chair to the counter, climbed on top, and was scooping and flinging the dirt everywhere. It was all over the floor and counter, and half the pot of dirt was in my sink! Thankfully the dishes were done! So, I put her in time out and started cleaning up. She was so sad to be in timeout!

So I cleaned up the kitchen, and then looked over to see what the kids were doing. This is what Emily was doing...


She had taken off her diaper, peed on the floor, and was putting her pants back on backwards, without a diaper. I couldn't help laughing at this one! I cleaned up the pee and then tried to run after her to put a diaper on. She ran away, with her little butt crack hanging out, giggling the whole way. It was absolutely hilarious!! Now I know this doesn't compare to what others have had to deal with, especially you Naomi, but this is trying for me!! Jonathan went through this stage, but definitely not as bad!!!! She gets into EVERYTHING!!! Oh the joys of having children!!
