No Subject!!!

Okay since I have nothing really to talk about I labeled it "No Subject!"
We had choir tonight....the kids watched a pro children's choir do the same musical that we are doing. They were really good. The main rolls got their books and they were so excited. The buzz around the kids was cool...they are all getting so excited about working on the musical.

Christian is going over to grandmas house tomorrow while I go and get my foot looked at....I have a spot on the side that is starting to really hurt me...I wake up at night because of the sharp and tingle pains that is is giving me. It really sucks!!

I just got back from working out...I watched part of the movie "The Wedding Date" when I was walking on the treadmill. That is one of my favorite movies!! Debra Messing is really cute in it. I had an okay work out. I am still not feeling that great, since I was up all night the other night with the stomach flu. Not fun, I lied on the couch all day yesterday, Jory took care of Christian for me, that boy loves his daddy.

I moped my floor today....I did some laundry....don't you want my life??? Sounds exciting right? Actually it is a very nice life, I am not complaining. I just get bored sometimes!!

Well that is about as random as they come

Thats all I got for now!!

90 Days To A New ME!!!

So I can to the realization today that I have 90 days to get my butt in shape!! In 90 days I will be in a swimsuit! I don't know if I am ready for that! I have been working out....but I still have about 30lbs to loose! I know that it does not seem like a lot, but when I look at pictures I HATE who I see. So today is a new day. The Doctor told me that I need to cut out the pastas and breads....all the stuff that I LOVE to eat. She said that I will be headed down the road to type 2 diabetes and I really do NOT want that. Part of my problem is that I just can't control what I eat. I know all of what I have to do, and today I am going to start it. I need to so Jory can be proud of me and Christian has a HOT mama!!!

So here's the "Game Plan"
  • Start eating healthy
  • Start working out (everyday...no excuses!)
  • Start taking my Meds that I have to help with portion control. (Those really helped)
  • Start thinking positive
  • Journaling my food, (No cheating!!)
So I think that it is a good start. I have a feeling that I am going to be in a swimsuit a lot this summer, I don't want to embarrass myself. Once I have reached 15lbs off I think that I should start tanning. I think that that is a proper reward for me!!!

Okay so if you all are going on this journey with me I guess I will update you on my progress, like how many lbs I have lost at the end of the week. If I start weight training I guess I will update you how my jeans are fitting, or if I have lost a pant size. Muscle weighs more than fat!!! So here it goes!!!!

Thats all I have for now!!!!

Ahhh!!! Done with Choir Auditions

I know the picture is not real clear...but it is the only one I could find!!!

So I have been at church since 8:45 am this morning!!! I had to be there early b/c I am the nursery director at church and I have to be there early to unlock everything before the teachers get there! I love my job! I think that I really like being in charge and feeling important! I have always felt like I stand in my Mom and Sisters shadows at church, cause they have important rolls in our ministry! ( I know mom that is not true, but that is always how I have felt!) Anyways....

We had our KCC Musical Auditions for "The Rock Slinger and His Greatest Hits" today! OMG we have such talented kids!!! They are truly amazing! I can't wait till Christian gets that age!! We had SO many girls tryout for the ONLY principal girls role...Princess Michal. WOW the girls rock! It was a VERY hard decision. The boys just fell into place! They tried out really good too! Boy I am really tired!

After Choir auditions I had my Sunday School class, we meet at night now because all of us are so involved in other things at church during the morning...our class only had a few regulars attending, so we decided to meet at night! So far it has been working really well. We are doing this study on this great book called " Men are like Waffles and Women are like Spaghetti" I love the book!! It teaches us about your spouse and how they tend to think! It helps me understand Jory more!


Anyways.....thats all I have tonight!

Mom is sick!!!!

Okay so everyone in my house has been sick!! Now I am getting sick!! Jory had Bronchitus and he is still not feeling that good, so I say GREAT....how long is this going to last!?!?!?! I can't get sick!! I take care of everyone in my house and they (Jory) does not know what to do for me when I am sick!! He does great with Christian, but me....he kind of just leaves me alone to fen for myself!!! Sometimes I just want someone to make ME lunch, or draw ME a bath. I can't complain to much Jory DID change 2 dirty diapers today, and I mean DIRTY!!!!! That is more than he does in like one week's time!!! J/K I am not a real BAD sick person. I do like to be taken care of. So whats wrong with me you say??? My chest hurts, like I have a 10lb brick resting on it, and my whole body is aching. Not fun! So this morning I took a hot bath with some of Christian's Vapor bubble bath stuff, that I got him for his cold! That helped a little. I have been putting on Vick's Vapor Rub like every 4-5 hours on my chest. Jory says that I should put it on my feet, He says my dad swears by it!! Who knows, maybe I will try it!

I did not have to make dinner tonight....that was nice. Jory took me to Mi Publito, a little Mexican place in Belton. It is really yummy, but tonight we only saw our waiter once and they forgot Christians food to top it off! That little bugger at half of my dinner and almost all of my rice and then half of Jory's rice! We could not believe it! He was eating and eating and eating! Good food even though we didn't see our guy but one time! Jory said they are on the O'Charile's boycot list now! I guess it will be take-out from now on!


I guess that is what I got for now.....See ya!!

I want to be in a swimsuit and flip flops!!! I want to wakeboard, tube and knee board!!! I love the water and I want to be on it!!! I think that Jory would have to second that!!! Can I get a AMEN!!!! I am working on working out to get in shape for my swimsuit, so hopefully by the time we hit the water I will be in great shape!!!! That is the plan at least!! Here are some pictures to get you ready for the summer!!!

Funny Story


Okay so my Grandma Plaskett sent me this story!
So this Dad was at home with his daughter one day, and she had this tea set that her grandma gave her. She had a great idea to have a tea party with her daddy. She brought her dad a cup of tea, (water of course) and he praised her for the great tea. She kept bringing him cups of tea and he kept praising her. His wife got home a little while later and he made her stay in the living room to watch their daughter come down the hall with a cup of tea for him! He took it and his wife laughed and said that the only water that she had access to was the TOILET!!!! I bet you will think twice if a little girl brings you a cup of tea!!!!
How funny is that!

I'm Bored!!!

So I am really bored today!! Can't wait till 4pm rolls around, because that is when we head off to church for KCC (Kids Choir). I don't have anything to clean...I cleaned everything yesterday. I guess I should not be complaining, not many people can say they don't have anything to clean in their home.
Sometimes I don't want Christian to take a nap, so I have someone to talk to!! Don't get me wrong, I love being a SAHM, but sometimes I get really lonely. Jory works 10 hours now and when he gets home he is really tired. He gets frustrated at me when I try and talk to him...cause he says that I just talk his ear off! Well I guess that is true.
I can't wait till more of my friends have babies, then maybe we can do play dates and such. I would love to do that more with Jenny and Chase, but now she works, and I don't want to take her away from her family time with Jeremy, and Chase. He works alot too, and I don't want to take that time away from them.
Chase and Christian have so much fun playing together. We watched Chase last night. He (Chase) got really upset when I took his playing buddy away from him! I HAD to put Christian to bed. He was starting to be really mean to Chase. Any toy Chase had, Christian wanted. He would take it away form Chase and I would have to step in and give it back to Chase. Christian did NOT like that so he would throw a fit! So it was time to put Christian to bed. Chase then got really tired too...he snuggled with Jory for a while, then I put him on the bean bag and he slept till Jenny got back. Chase was a good boy last night! So was Christian, until about 8pm. Then he got cranky! I love those boys! So I guess that is all I have for right now...I will update later!

Just Random Pictures of Christian





Okay It is going to be random pictures of the bugger butt! He is just so stinking cute!!! He has been a really good boy today! We went to Bible Study, and when I dropped him off at his day care there at the church, he only cried for a minute and then he found a truck!! He did not care that I was not going to stay! So here is the cutie pie!

SNOW SNOW SNOW!!!!



Okay I am SO sick of the snow!!! What is funny, my parents are coming back from Cabo San Lucas Mexico today, and they shut down KCI!!! They can't keep up with removing the snow from the runways!!! The parents are going from 80* to 32* and snow!!! We had 3" of rain yesterday, and they were saying if it was all snow we would have had like 23" of snow total!! This winter has been really wet and yucky!! Jory I know is ready for the lake season!! He is out pushing the the snow this morning! He finally gave up on the church, because he just could not keep up with it! The snow is falling about 1" an hour!!! This is going to be the most snow that we have had all year! about 6" total! So here is the radar that is bringing us this snow!

Orlando







This should have been my first post....but oh well!

Jory and I just got back from Orlando, FL with some really good friends of ours! We decided to take a vacation without Christian before we decided to start trying for baby #2. It was such a fun trip, we were gone for 6 days. The weather was a whole lot nicer in FL, than what it was here in MO. We got there on Friday afternoon, got our rental car and started our adventure!!!
We could not check in to our house until 4pm that day...so we had to waste some time!!! We started out the week with some shopping at an outlet mall close to the airport. We got Christian some high-top Converse tennis shoes!! He looks so cute in them!! After we were done shopping we decided it was okay to start heading out to find our house....it was about 30min away from where we were at! We found the house!!! It was a very cute home. It had a private pool, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a huge kitchen! So much nicer than a Hotel. They had a club house where we could get information on the attractions around town. So that was nice! Since we had a kitchen in the house we decided to make a few meals at home that week. Eating out costs a lot of $. So we went to the store and got a few things. That evening we swam and just hung out!!

We decided that both coasts were not that far away, so we went to Daytona Beach, and to Tampa. We were not so fond of Daytona, but we did get a snack at a restruant that had REAL race cars for booths. That was pretty cool. We drove our car on the beach....yes on the sand!! It was SO cool. I have never driven on a beach!! The sand was so compacted, that it was like driving on concrete!

Tampa on the other hand was so beautiful! Jory and I would like to go there again!! The whitest sand I have ever seen. It was so soft too! we played on the beach for the afternoon. It was sunny off and on that day. We also went to see the manities. They did not do a whole bunch but they were still cool to see. They were at Apollo Beach just south of Tampa. There is a power plant there, and the water is really warm for them. They say that there is about 300 manities in that bay. They are different animals!!


We decided to go to the parks during the week, we figured it would be less crowded! We were right. The longest line that we stood in was about 40 min. We did Disney the first...Epcot and Magical Kingdom! I got to see Cinderellas Castle! It was so beautiful. I felt like a little kid!! I was just taking in everything! I think that Jory, Brandon and Janell thought I was funny. I had been to Disney Land several times, but Disney World is so much bigger!! At Epcot, we rode this ride that was called "Test Track" way cool! It was supposed to simulate how they test cars before they sell them. We also did a space simulator that was pretty cool. We went to Mars!! We rode Space mountain. So cool I have never been on a roller coaster in the dark. You could not see when you were going to drop. What a rush!! after eating lunch...we headed over to Magic Kingdom! we took the fairy boat through the lagoon to the island. Oh it was so beautiful. We got there and walked down Main Street, it looked like a scene from a movie. We rode all the rides, including the Tea Cups!!! We walked around and I soaked up the atmosphere! I loved being there! That night we watched the parade and the fireworks. The best fireworks show I have seen in years! We went home and Crashed that night!!!


The next day we got up and went to Universal, Adventure Island. That is the part of Universal that has all the roller coasters. I am now a junky for the coasters!! Janell got me hooked on riding in the front row too!! I have never done that before!! I don't have any pictures of Universal, because I did not want to run the risk of loosing my camera. I am torn on what ride I liked the best!!! Dueling Dragons or the Incredible Hulk! Both were equally cool. Dueling dragons was two different tracks that the cars came at each other!!! You have to ride in the front for that one! Hulk you start out by going slow up the track and then all the sudden it shoots you out of the tunnel, into a cork screw turn!!! AHHH It was so much fun! Roller coasters are now my new favorite thing!!!

That is pretty much it! We had a really good time with our friends!! We did miss Christian though! He had fun at Grandma and Grandpa's House that week. Here are some pictures of our trip!!!

Christian and Pup


So Christian really loves playing with my parents dog, Cali. I am not so sure she likes playing with him, since he tells her "no!, no!, no!, no!" all the time during the day. He likes getting down on the floor and laying like she does! She has been a really good girl this week while the parents are in Mexico!!! She has not snapped at Christian...even when he has been pretty mean to her. Poor dog she is going to have to go through therapy when she leaves my house! I thought that this was a cut picture so I had to do a little blurb about it!!!

I'm a Big Boy Now!


Last night was a big deal....Christian went poop on the Big Boy potty!!! I have started introducing him to the toilet! He is not real interested but last night when Jory and I praised him for going poop, he is all the sudden wanting to sit on the potty!!! I will say "you want to go sit on the big boy potty?" and he will head for the stairs. He has been so much better today, as far as the attitude goes. I have not worked out yet today, but I did go to bible study and he did great in the day care at the church. I just don't get it! Jory came home sick today from work. I think that he has the Flu. Not good! Jenny and Chase came over late this afternoon, I love seeing the boys play together. Christian gets so mad at Chase when he takes a toy away, and vice versa!!! For the most part they play good together!! I am feeling a little less overwhelmed today than yesterday!! That is really good. So that is all I got for today!!

Oh My Gosh!!

Okay I have now entered the world of blogging!!! Everyone has told me to start blogging because I need a hobby! Well here I am!!!
Christian is now 16 months old and he is already starting the whole terrible two's!!! AHHH I want to gouge my eyes out some days. When he wakes up he seems happy, then I bring him downstairs and he starts getting into something that he is not supposed to get into, and I tell him NO he gets so mad and starts throwing a fit right there on the floor!!! I just tend to ignore him and let him express himself, by screaming!! I have not had to deal with any of this and so I feel bad just letting him scream and cry...but he wants nothing to do with me because I told him NO! He has always been a good baby. He has inherited my temper I do believe....poor child!!
So I think that is all I have for today....Pretty uneventful, we will see what tomorrow has in store!
