Over it

There is a reason why the past is the past. From now on I will not even think about past experiences and wonder if things would be different if a certain situation took place. I am happy at this moment in my life and that's all that matters.

A new me

For a while now I have been wanting to start a new diet or a new way of living, whatever you call it. But I have lacked motivation for one reason or another. Having two kids under 3 does make things harder but should not get in the way of my goals. So starting next Monday I will start my "New way of living" diet.

I packed on the lbs with both pregnancies so I have a ways to go but, with positive thinking and motivation behind me, I know I will reach my goal. I want to loose 50 lbs in the next 6 months. So here I go!!!

Alexis was looking at old pics and came across this one. This is pre-Alexis and Annalise. This is Summer 2001, when Matt and I started dating.

I've been tagged

I have been tagged!!
Sorry I am kinda slow at reading directions so I was confused on how to do this. Yea, I know. Anyways Here it goes girls!!


So here is how it works: First, share 7 facts about yourself. Next, tag 7 people at the end of your blog by leaving their name and a link to their blog. Last, let them know they're tagged by leaving a link in their blog.

1 ♥ I have an addiction.......I am addicted to buying my girls matching Gymboree outfits. I know when all the new stuff will be out and when all the sales will start and end. I also get a heads up on New Line pics before they are even in the store. Crazy huh. lol

2 ♥ I would rather stay at home than go out. I don't like crowds!

3 ♥ I try to please everyone in my life and have neglected myself in the process. Even though I know this I still do it.

4 ♥ I love pink milk just as much as Alexis does. lol

5 ♥ I am a procrastinator. I always leave things for the last moment.

6 ♥ I am a side seat driver. Nobody can drive as good as me. lol. Sometimes Matt has to stop the truck so I can drive because I drive him crazy.

7 ♥ My house is always clean and organized. I go crazy if anything is messy.

I did not tag any of my buddies because all you girlies have already been tagged. :)

Sunset on the Beach

The family and I went to my brother and his families home over in Stuart last weekend and we had such a great time! Our kids get along great and play well together.

After a day of fishing and swimming in the pool we drove to the beach, which is literally not even 5 min away, to catch the sunset. My sister-in-law has an awesome camera and she took these wonderful shots of the girls.

I'm Single

Alexis and I check the mail everyday because she loves opening the mailbox and taking out the mail for the day. Well yesterday we go out and there are two little boys playing catch on the street.

Me: Look Lexi your boyfriends.

Alexis: No Mama. (hands on hips) I'm single.

Where does this kid come up with these things. lol.

OMG...Glad he didn't kill me!

Matt and I have been thinking of ways to save money since gas prices suck lately. So we cut a little here and there on spending, including Matt's weekly haircuts. Instead he bought clippers and volunteered "me" to start giving him haircuts. Ummm #1 I have never even held clippers much less cut someones hair but, how hard could it be? The first few times I did pretty good. He even said I did a better job than the barber. So when he asked me to clip his hair this morning I was pretty confident on taking on the job. lol.

He sat down in the chair in front of me while I velcroed (is that a word?) the poncho thing- a-mah- bob onto him. I turned on the clippers and proceeded to cut the side of his hair. Little did I know I forgot to attach the #2 attachment comb. (Dough!) I put down the clippers and with hands over my mouth started screaming OMG! He jumped out of his seat and looked at himself in the mirror. He started yelling and saying he looked like a complete idiot now and if we clipped off all his hair he'd look like a skinhead. LMAO. I couldn't stop laughing. The side of his head litterally had a huge shaved chunk missing. How could I forget to attach the darn attachment. He was so mad and sat back down asking me to fix it. So I started to shave around his whole head laughing at the same time because I was doing a horrible job. Imagine what a bowl on your head would look like. lol Yup thats what it looked like. But thankfully, I was able to fade it in and it came out looking really good.

It was so funny too because while he was looking at himself in the mirror in the beginning, Alexis was asking him if he was going to cry like a little girl. lol. She can be a funny little booger sometimes.

Anyways I wish I would have taken a pic but I think I would have really ticked him off.
