What is NEW

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).
