I'm a slacker. This birthday post is a week late. but I hope all of the cute pics make up for it.
This little dude turned five last week. five. years. old.
He is now ready for kindergarten. When did that happen?
I remember when he was born. The last month of my pregnancy was difficult. I was short of breath and it felt like there was 5 babies in my bodyStaceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07167045338011317065noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278175034853158398.post-11335887170931157302013-05-01T10:44:00.000-06:002013-05-01T10:44:30.087-06:00Happy birthday, Brayden!

This is me, myself and I at my heaviest weight.
When size 22 pants started feeling tight, I said, "No more. I REFUSE to go up another size."
This is me now.
Size 16 pants. Which are getting loose on me.
It's amazing! I can only imagine what it will be like when I reach my goal weight.
I'm stalled right now. I've gone up and down for the last few months.

The last time I blogged it was still summer. Now it's a freaking cold and yucky winter. Freezing rain and negative temps..no thanks. I'm ready for spring.
I realized after reading my last post, that I've only lost 6 pounds since then. 6. Not 20. Not 30. A measly 6 pounds. Granted, I didn't work out often and I gained a few pounds around the holiday, but dang.

I've had computer issues and I just haven't been in a bloggy mood.
The possibility that I've lost 1,000 pictures from the last 6 years (including the birth pics of my 3 youngest babies) has made me weepy.
Adam is going to try one more thing but if it doesn't work,it's unlikely that anything else will work and the pics will be gone. :'(

My computer has decided to mess with me and only boots up sporadically now. One of the drives is really fried..if I've lost the pictures on it,there will be tears.
I had a nice day and I got some really cute presents from my kids...
From Josh - a coupon book for various chores..and a hug. :)
From Brianna - beautiful tulipsStaceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07167045338011317065noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278175034853158398.post-43043475168962984312012-05-02T15:49:00.000-06:002012-05-02T15:49:24.219-06:00I love.....Aruba Coconut from Bath and Body Works - This lotion is heaven in a bottle.

I'm trying to be calm.
Adam finished up his school bidness..and we owe them a big chunk of money because he transferred credits.
Lame.
No job offers yet.
Double lame.
Adam is pretty down about it. Which is understandable. It's difficult because he is a glass half-empty person. I'm the opposite. My glass is always half-full and I'm all, "Yay! I'm drinking that deliciousness!"

(I just realized that Josh,Brendan and Tom are all climbing. That's kinda cool...like a really terrifying race)
And then the power went out at 4:30. When my kids came inside there was much wailing and whining. Apparently without electricity,life is NOT worth living.
What I did instead..

~Adam and I went and saw The Hunger Games last weekend. (for those of you keeping track,it was viewing #6 for me) There is a part in the movie where one of the muttations (a.k.a. huge and vicious dogs) jumps out of the bushes. The first time I saw the movie,I was startled. but after repeated viewings,I know EXACTLY when it's going to happen so I can be Staceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07167045338011317065noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278175034853158398.post-83941110190864523222012-04-11T14:36:00.000-06:002012-04-11T14:36:49.412-06:00Things I like..and things I don'tThings I like -
~I've lost another pound...now 26 lbs are gone! Hasta lasagne!
~Adam and I have really decent credit scores now...which will make buying a house a lot easier. (when the time comes..hopefully in the next year)
~Date night this weekend,followed by GNO next weekend! I love having things to look forward to! (and yes,my girlfriend and I will more than likely see THG..so what?)

Afterward,we all headed over to the parents house to enjoy some noms and have an egg hunt for the kids. There are a lot of young kids so it's chaos but it's a fun kind of chaos..mostly.
The kids with their gifts from the Easter Bunny...

Total cuteness!
~The fact that Brianna sings all the time. She loves music and dances all over,even in the grocery store if the mood strikes her.
~How excited Camden gets when he sees "big trucks!!!" or "COOOWWSS!" Even if he is outside,he will run up to tell me every time he sees a truck.
~Brady's love for his baby brother.

I could easily see it 4 more times. I volunteer to accompany anyone who desires to see it.
~Camden's favorite song is "Pumped Up Kicks". When he sings and dances to it,I laugh every time. Thank goodness he doesn't understand the words yet.
~Savvy is developing a 'tude and she yells a lot.

I like it so much better than Twilight,(I can hear the gasps) and you all know how much I liked that series. I've decided this..
Twilight = slight crush. I liked the movies for what they were,but a lot of the dialogue from the book just did not work and came across cheesy.
The Hunger Games = wove..twu wove!Staceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07167045338011317065noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278175034853158398.post-24705660980480248522012-03-27T09:08:00.000-06:002012-03-27T09:08:45.952-06:00Me..and skinnier meI've been going to Zumba classes off and on for the past year.

I made that goal yesterday and a sheer feeling of euphoria hit me when I stepped on my scale! I haven't been at this weight for almost 2 years.

I don't know why I stopped posting as often. Oh,wait...yes I do. I figure I post enough of my life on facebook that no one probably wants to read about it here too.
I know I'm going to regret not having posts from the last few months,since I plan to make a book of my posts one day. So I'm going to start blogging again.
For the 2 people who still read my blog,I hope you Staceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07167045338011317065noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278175034853158398.post-79051234362254301742011-10-24T15:32:00.004-06:002011-10-24T15:48:23.543-06:00New Pics of my Kiddos!Pics were taken by my SIL,Karla Southern.Staceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07167045338011317065noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278175034853158398.post-71360620860985060302011-09-11T11:02:00.002-06:002011-09-11T23:03:34.875-06:00First Day of School!Yes,I FINALLY made a post!

He cracks me up all of the time. Here are a few of the funny things that my little Brady has said recently...
~He asked me for help in the bathroom. Then he said,"C'mon mom,I know you live to wipe my butt."
