Weekly update NOV 14, 2011:
Sloan has been busy..she is starting to rock back and forth like she is ready to crawl. And tonight SHE FINALLY DID!! She took about 5 “steps” crawling towards the REMOTE! She has been really good and fun to watch grow. Tonight in her crib she has started to PULL herself up, before she was just content with sitting an watching through the panels, but now she wants to look over the rails. We went last Thursday and Friday to Twin to see Aunt Kari Jo and TREY.
Noelle has been busy “being the boss” she is so funny sometimes that I have to turn and laugh. The other day we went to go rent CARS 2 and after looking all over town at all the REDBOX’s she finally looked at me and said, “I know, lets go buy it” So SMART! She had fun at Aunt Kari Jo’s house. And is doing so good at potty training (haven’t had an accident in week’s, even #2)
Total Weight Loss:
Didn’t make it to the gym like I wanted….
I will make the workouts a priority this week and hit the gym at least 3 times.
I still have two months to shred the 15 pounds and I know that I can do it…small steps...
Best Moment this week:
Spending time with Drew and the KIDs while we went for a drive after CHURCH.
***I love how our sweet spirits remind us that we have to go to church. Noelle is always smiling and ready to go. She loves church and especially the “toys” no one has told her that in a month she will be moving up to the older class, and NO toys! ****

I LOVE NOVEMBER
Weekly update NOV 7, 2011:
Sloan is still being a happy baby, even with two teeth poking their way through her gums. We spent the weekend out in AF at my parents’ house, so that the adults could cover the corn pit. Aunt Kari Jo was lucky enough to stay at home with all the little ones (she is about 35 wks pregnant and so ready to have a sweet little girl to hold in her arms) but she was a trooper, and enjoyed spending time with my girls.
We ended up covering the corn pit (Dad, Mom, Ryan, Brit, AJ, and I) in almost record time. We were home by 230 but could have been home as early as 1:30, we had to load more tires, which was like an hour of sitting around while Dad and Ryan did that.
Total Weight Loss:
I have not been back to the gym since last week, but let me tell you that I really enjoyed my workout, (was there for about an hour and ran/jogged, lifted, and did ABS, then finished off with the bike) and was sore for about 4 days, then covered the corn pit, and was sore again for 2+days.
I will make the workouts a priority this week and hit the gym at least 4 times. J
I still have two months to shred the 15-20 pounds and I know that I can do it…small steps...
Best Moment this week:
Actually it was spending time in AF. It is always hectic when I head down there. There is so much to pack for myself, and the girls, Noelle’s blanket, Sloan’s blanket…..the list goes on and on, but I LOVE MY FAMILY (yes all of them) so much and they are so amazing.
I spent last night (Sunday) dreading my homework, and enjoyed spending some quality time with my FAMILY, I was able to get Sloan laughing, which was so nice to hear her, because she was not feeling too great (constipation—changed 5 diapers in about three hours with just a little poop, but STINKY). Noelle was also trying to get in on the games, and has been a great help with getting diapers and wipes for mommy and daddy. Drew and I ended up watching a movie, and at 11, I was finally motivated enough to finish my paper and turn it in—only 5 more classes to go J

How Far Along:
Sloan is now 7+ months and we are seeing TEETH! That is our milestone..it was only last month that we were at the Dr office, and he was asking if she was sitting up by herself, unsupported, and my answer was NO, and within the next two days she was doing it I had asked him if he thought we would see teeth soon and he said within the next month or two….
Noelle just went in to get caught up on her shots…I know I should have been better, but life just gets busy and there is no time to make up for what we have lost, just need to do better in the future. She had three shots and a week later she is still talking about the band-aids and which colors dad pulled off and which ones mom pulled off.
Total Weight Loss:
I am still not motivated to go to the gym……I still am at the 1%0 Range, yes 152 is my highest, and that is plenty…So today I have called GGma Shawver and she is going to watch the girls for me this afternoon. I am planning on going to the gym for 1.5 hours!!! I want to do A LOT of cardio and see if we can start losing weight. I still have two months to shred the 15-20 pounds and I know that I can do it…small steps...
Best Moment this week:
This week has been great… It is only Tuesday, but yesterday was Halloween and we went to Twin Falls to see Kari Jo and Trey. The girls and I went and we took Aunt Brittney with us, it was ONE Long day but fun to get out of the house. I'm very thankful for my amazing husband Drew and all he does for me and the girls....and all the work he does (he has been lucky this month, but unlucky as well..he had a couple accidents this month, but they could have been much worse).

READY to CHANGE
So I have been at home lately with the girls A LOT! I am ready to love it, but some days it feels like the day will never end. I am super tired, and LAZY, but do manage to get somethings done around the house, between chasing NOELLE around all day, and checking in on SLOAN (thanks goodness she is so content right now). Soon Sloan will be crawling around, right now she is rolling all over, and just last week she finally decided that she could sit on her own (like the day after her dr. appointment and he was asking if she was doing this yet). :)
I am going to be more committed to myself, husband, and kids.
For ME: I want to spend 1 HR dedicated to working out..I know this may sound selfish but I think (ok I know) that spending the time working out will help me relieve a TON of STRESS. (RIGHT NOW I am at !%).^ # and I want to end up losing about 20 before Christmas).
I also want to spend 20-30 min. READING..I know, I really have never been a reader, but I know that there are other things that I can spend my time doing....besides watching tv, and facebooking :)
FOR DREW: I want to make him HAPPY. I want to LISTEN to him. I want to SPEND TIME with him. I WANT to LOVE him. I am going to make changes and try not to "Fight" with him. I know that he is an amazing person, who does everything for me and the girls. I APPRECIATE HIM :)
FOR THE GIRLS: I want to spend time with them, take pictures, color, paint, count, do puzzles, TEACH them, sing songs, ride bikes, make jello, bake COOKIES. I want to enjoy my time with them. I have take too much time for granted (because I was tired-this is going to change).

ONLY 16 More Days til CHRISTMAS
I can't believe how quickly this year is going by. I knew that this pregnancy would help with that. Last month we had Drew's Birthday and Thanksgiving to focus on, and then the surprise HOSPITAL visit that took out 2 days. Now it is December! With work, school, Christmas PARTIES, Noelle's Birthday, Christmas, and MY BIRTHDAY, this year will be over in a blink of an eye.
LIFE MARCHES ON...LIFE Marches ON!!
We have been really busy this year and it is almost over. Since I have been on last, we had a wonderful DECEMBER..Shawver's Christmas Party, Noelle's birthday, Christmas, and another birthday. Drew was busy working and was able to make it out to the Afton Christmas Eve Party..by about 8 or so...then was out the door on Christmas AM by about 7 or 730 but our LITTLE Noelle was up and ready for CHRISTMAS before he left for work that day :) (6AM??)
January and FEB were super busy! I was working at the Appraisal office, and Drew was busy hauling milk...I don't remember much about this time other than that! I do remember feeling very uncomfortable and going to the bathroom very often at night! Noelle was still cuddly and would let/make me rock her to sleep at night! Drew would want to "see" his Noler at night when he would get home from work (around 10-11), and I knew it was a bad habit for her to stay up that late, as NOW we are fighting her to get to bed before 10.
In MARCH our precious gift came into our home! SLOAN OAKLEE was pulled into this world on MARCH 17th. She had our hearts from the second we saw her. She is smart and happy and content. Thankfully I have had two healthy babies with this type of temperament!!!
APRIL-MAY I was able to be a "Stay at home Mom" (still am) and was happy to go into the office with an "on call" basis. I like having this freedom, but stress as it makes DREW work hard to provide for our little family. I remember somewhere in these months, I CUT Noelle's hair for the first time, oh wait, it was actually in June after Kari and Trey came to Idaho for a visit!
MAY-June-JULY-August---these months were also a blurrrrrr. They were filled with swimming, family reunions, housework, appraisal office, more reunions, Kaitlyn's softball, 4th of July, Ice cream, sprinklers-mowing the weeds :) SCHOOL and much, much, more! Drew had switched jobs :) he is now hauling fuel for Conrad and Bischoff and he really enjoys it. He says that he doesn't want me to work, but I still WANT too! I do love spending time with the girls, but I need some other interaction, :). I have been trying to workout at the Gold's Gym here in Blackfoot. They provide daycare, and Noelle love it...so many more toys! I have been only a couple times, but am looking forward to going more! I have a weight loss goal of 15 pounds!!! I want to be there by the end of the year, so I better START getting to the GYM!!
Got to go...headed out to harvest Dinner at JULIA's :_)
I'll blog again (not in six months--I promise)
