Editing out the fatass

I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror and realized that for the first time in a LONG time, I am happy with where I am, fitness wise. That doesn't mean that I think I'm hot, or that I'm done drinking my fat burning coffee, just that I can look in the mirror and see me, instead of seeing some lumpy fat ass. I'm actually changing my exercise reminder that's been in my phone for over a year, to remove the 'fatass' reminder... I still have a lot of improvement that I want to make, but if it doesn't happen right away, I'm OK with it. :) 

I really am bad at this...

I started this blog to have a place to post everything that was going on, but everything that was going on didn't leave time to blog about it... so I forgot. LOL. Everything that was going on is still going on, plus some! Our lives are still crazy & busy, and stressful and FUN! I still don't have time, but I still want a record of everything, so we'll try again. :)   Maybe just a little bit at a time...

CAMY just turned THREE! I can't believe it! She's stubborn, and beautiful, and sweet, and potty trained, and just got her first big girl bike. Her fave colors are pink & purple and she loves snails best, of all things.

CONNOR is almost FIVE! That amazes me everytime I think about it. I can't believe I've been a mommy for almost 6 years, if you count the pregnancy. HE is STUBBORN!! smart, sarcastic, SMART, smartalick, sensitive, talented, SO handsome! He makes me want to kiss him & swat him all at the same time. He's got riding with no training wheels DOWN! Jumps his bike & his spark scooter, rides his skateboard ok, is learning to swim SO fast, LOVES to tube, learned how to fish this last weekend, learned bowling a few weekends before. He is saving my sanity by having a bowling birthday instead of a regular party. I don't think I could stand to have another. Camy's was this last weekend and it was so much fun, but SO much work!

Brian is ... I'm tired, I'll leave him out for now. Let's just say I don't regret any day of the last 12+years.

PLUMP is in transition again...

PR is DONE! I just have to get rid of all this crap inventory

BORESHA, my 'new' love... www.sikesskinnycoffee.com I'll have to introduce 'you' to it... later

NEW house - LOVE! WORK! NEVER will get it decorated!

GPIT - slow season

Max - decrepit :(

Lexi - we're getting along :)

I'm tired, and snnnnnnnoooooooozzzzzzzeeeee...................

I'm a horrible blogger

I keep forgetting about my 'blog'... :D, so I'll just randomly update.

Brian is back to work!! He finally got his surgery, and is doing much better. Its nice to see him be happy to be useful again, doing something he enjoys and is really good at, and to be at a company that appreciates him.

Connor is still frustratingly wonderful. He's talking more and more, counts to 12 by himself every now & then. He doesn't like for me to 'teach' him things, he's still very independent. He loves music, loves to dance, still loves his cars & super heros.

Camy is pretty much off and running. She'll be one in 3 weeks, where has the year gone?? She follows directions now, ie Camy go get me that diaper please... simple stuff. She does a really good 'stink face', gives kisses and is currently getting another tooth, which will be her 5th. She adores Connor, and tries to do everything he does, which irritates him to no end.

PLUMP is doing very well. I closed for customs to try & plan the kids bday parties, though I'm not getting very far on that. LOL. I'm still stocking on several congos', 4 this month.

Big Tears & First Steps

So... I've been really lax on posting lately, like really really. Its tax season, and I guess I don't have much other than taxes running thru my brain right now. EXCEPT for the fact that my not quite 9 month old daughter just took her first, and second step!! Ohhh holy cow, we're in so much trouble with her. I missed the first one, though Brian got to see it, and he missed Connor's first steps, so I guess we've traded off. He came quick to get me to see the second one though, which I really appreciate. :)

Last night, Connor & Camy were having issues sleeping. Camy was asleep, Connor was supposed to be sleeping. Camy started crying & Connor asked me if I wanted him to go check on her (check on Camy mommy??). I was working so told him to go have daddy check her. Next thing I hear (our bedroom is across the hall from my office) is this... "Camy, you're awake, ohh, so sorry you're crying, woah, big tears, lemme wipe them off, dont cry, dont cry, uggh, be right back!!" Then he comes running in my office & says "mommy, my sister crying. She has big tears. i better go check on her. Uh oh, camy has more tears." LMAO, I love my kids.

A few little updates

Nothing much really but...

Camy is now sitting up on her own, a few days shy of being 5 months old. She also almost goes from her belly to sitting and crawls backwards a little bit. She's almost 16 pounds & growing SO fast!! Everyone always comments on how happy of a baby she is.



Connor is... a 2 year old boy. He's so tempermental, into everything, stubborn, creative, imaginative, talkative!! We had to take him out of school for financial reasons, but he doesn't seem to mind. He always just told us about how much he cried when we dropped him off at school, so maybe he wasn't ready yet. He surprised me the other day & counted to 9 all by 'self'. He knows Happy Birthday now & sings it when asked.

PLUMP is still doing well. I'm working on mostly customs, trying to get my massive waitlist pared down before tax season.

We are CLEANING the house, preparing to host Thanksgiving next week. Crazy for a couple that doesn't like to cook. We've been cooking crazy lately though, raspberry pie the last two nights (Brian says the best pie he's ever had, seriously), Pot Roast, Drop bisquits & Apple dumplings tonight. No wonder we're fat. :D

Ohh, we also just had our first family trip to the sequoias, to see General Sherman. It was so fun!!

Mr. Snoopafrickenhootie

Mr. SnoopaFrickenhootie, the newest addition to our house. I don't know where his name came from, it just came to me. But, he helped me put Connor to bed last night, helped me tell Connor a story about the red dragon eating all the residents of Perez Town, right next door to Sifnskesville. The residents of Sifnskesville were getting nervous, so asked the local night, Sir Connor, to slay the dragon. So Sir Connor got dressed 'self', got on his horse bullseye, and to make a long story short, slayed the dragon. But not in time to save the pappels (pacifiers). This is Connor's first full day in two years to not have a pappel. He is taking it OK so far, we just blame the dragon for eating them. Is it horrible to lie to your kids??
