About Me

All dressed up in black and white...

I haven't done a blog lately and I'd really like to do them more often. Don't hold me to it though. I'm going to "try".

We have pretty much completely moved into our new place. I've realized moving into a smaller house we have a lot of junk! Well, not exactly all junk but our camping stuff, holiday decorations, books, year books and future stuff for our next kids is way too much for our small 3 bedroom home. We have zero storage in our new place as of now but we got a small storage unit for all our extra stuff. I feel like a hoarder, seriously. We have donated and tossed even more stuff moving into our house. It's ridiculous all the stuff we thought we needed.

January 5 we started a family/friends Biggest Loser. Justin and I are doing amazing. First month Justin, my mom and myself all tied for first place. We're doing it by weight percent or something. I can't exactly remember but we lost 8%! We have incentive prizes around $30. We drew a name and I was the first months winner. We weighed in again in March and my moms friend, Mike and myself tied with 4% lost. Drew a name and like always I won. Just kidding, I really don't always win but lately the odds were in my favor. I've lost 22lbs and I believe Justin has lost 25lbs. It's be really difficult lately but we need to get back on the wagon and really start working out again. I'd like to lose 13-18 more lbs. I believe Justin is shooting for 25-30 more lbs. I'm really proud of him and he looks awesome but I think that no matter what.

Lorraine moved in with the boys early February. It's been rough on them because I know they all miss Zach. (he's in boot camp for the Air Force) It's sad because you can just tell when each of them has a hard day and that's the real issue. I try and imagine how I'd feel if Justin was doing that and I'd be miserable. Titus loves his daddy so much and I couldn't imagine seeing him miss Justin everyday. I can somewhat understand what Lorraine feels but I'm not going through it so I can't say for sure but I'm sure it just sucks. Besides that I've loved seeing my nephews and going places with Lorraine during the week.

Titus is doing awesome. He started walking a week or so before he turned 15 months and is trying to run now. He wants to be so big. He's learned so much since Benjamin and Isaac moved in. He can climb his slide, go down, climb the slide itself and be daring. He's doing stuff so quickly now. Before he was like yeah I'll get to it eventually and now he wants to do everything Benjamin and Isaac are doing now. He's become super opinionated and vocal about stuff we do that makes him mad. I thought fits start at 2 not earlier. I'm that parent in the store with a screaming child because I was letting him walk and picked him up and now he's angry. Besides his tempers every so often he's really a good boy. He plays hard to get and doesn't just give kisses up for free. You have to earn them with him. He likes to help daddy and mommy with anything even if that means he's really not helping but making a mess. He really is a huge blessing to Justin and myself even on those rough teething days/nights. We want to keep him and love him forever.
