Random thoughts for today

~I've seen The Hunger Games 4 times now...it's still not enough. 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 *never* do that,she must get it from her daddy.

~2 more months until school gets out. Yes,really...it's a scary thought.

~As you may have noticed,I'm on twitter now. I don't know what I'm doing but follow me anyway so I feel loved. Thank you for your consideration.

The Hunger Games

Some of you may have noticed that I have become slightly obsessed with The Hunger Games. 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! (Princess Bride moment)

 Josh = Peeta

Jennifer = Katniss

The Hunger Games movie = awesome adaptation!

So cute...makes me smile every time I see it.

Me..and skinnier me

I've been going to Zumba classes off and on for the past year. In the last few months,I've worked out 3-4 times a week. I've been using the weight watchers diary app on my phone to keep track of my points. I'm proud to say that I have lost 25 pounds! 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. It's so exciting and motivating! I've also been measuring my body for inches lost. As of right now I've lost 3 inches on my hips and 3 inches on my waist. :) I've made mini goals of 10 pounds at a time,all leading up to my goal of losing 80 pounds total.

I also have 2 other goals...

-exercising at least 4 times a week

-staying within my points range

 So far I think I have done really well. I have my cheat days and an off day now and again,but I haven't felt this good and motivated for a long time. When I look at the before pictures,I'm overwhelmed at the changes I see in my body.

BEFORE - This was taken 5 years ago.

AFTER - this was taken yesterday.

I still have a ways to go but it's all about baby steps,right?

It's been a loooong time..

...since I blogged. 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 enjoy having actual posts to read.

New Pics of my Kiddos!

Pics were taken by my SIL,Karla Southern.

First Day of School!

Yes,I FINALLY made a post! (only 3 weeks late)

I can't believe I have 3 kids in school now. All of them are doing well. Brady really likes school and is excited to go every day. Josh helps Brady get ready and walks with him to school. Both Josh and Brianna are helping Brady learn his letters. They created their own "school" where Josh and Bri are the teachers and Brady is the student.





I have a few more pics of Brady to post but Blogger is being lame and won't let me do it. :-/ At least I was able to upload a few before it crapped out.

Brady Funnies

See this little dude?



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."

~In response to me laying next to him in my bed: "I love you....thanks for the lay."

~His response to kindergarten registration. "I think I have to grow up tomorrow."

~"Those pigs don't want me to play angry birds because I'm so damn good at it!" (I can't imagine where he heard such language) ;)

~"The snack that smiles smack..goldfish!"

~Playing patty cake with Savvy,this is what he sings - "roll it and a roll it..mark it with defeat."

~"IT'S ONNNN!"

I love that kid!
