So Sad

Yes, Luke is 3 months already. It just breaks my heart to see my little man growing up. But I am still loving every minute of him, even when he wakes me up in the middle of the night (which is actually becoming less and less frequent). So I thought I should show some pictures.
He loves talking and smiling in between sleeping and eating. He's such a stud, I must say.
As for Kylee, here are a few phrases she likes to say:
- I dont want to
- No
- I cant
- Let me do it!
- Why?
- But I said yes! (after telling her no)
She also likes to tell me why Luke cries, which can be funny. Today we read books and played outside for a little bit before Luke started screaming his head off.
After dinner I was making cookies and Kylee asked me "how many points are those?" Which, if you are aware of me being on Weight Watchers, you would find quite funny. She has been saying really funny things lately. I am not sure if she knows shes being funny though. She informed me the other day that she "had gas" and was stinky. I got a pretty big kick out of that.
She finished her swim lessons, and starts back up on the 9th. She loves it and I have made some friends with the mothers there. I am really enjoying it up here! Our ward is amazing, and I am so lucky to be meeting so many nice new people. There is such a support out here for moms and children. Its really great!
So I worked my butt off at the gym this week, and then Thursday Rhett and I went on a date and I gained some weight, so at my WW meeting I only lost .2 lbs, which was BS cos I know I lost waaaay more than that (sorry for the run-on sentence). I hate working out, but I am determined to do it. Its not worth it to feel so guilty after eating out. I will just stick with my plan and eat healthy from now on.
So thats it for now. More updates later.

Nothing New

Not much is new here. I did loose 1 and a half pounds this week at WW. That puts me right under 10 lbs! But really, thats it for this week. Its odd because the week goes by so quickly, and its so busy and hectic, but yet I wonder where the time went! Oh, but on Wednesday, I was coming down to pick the kids up after working out, and Luke was playing with his hands... Just staring at them. It was so cute!

This is for you you, Kels!

I added some stuff for you to read... so no more ebing bored! Just want to say hello and I miss you guys terribly! Why dont you take a vaca and come out here for Lukes blessing on the 7th of September? =) Your blog's HILARIOUS! I laugh so hard reading it! You have the best sense of humor!!!

What A Week!

I told myself that when I started this I would try to keep up with it, cos no one likes to read a blog that hasnt been updated in a while. LoL! Anyway, its been one crazy week!

This was Kylee's last week of summer school. It was sad to say good-bye to some of her teachers who wont be back in the fall... Like Miss Sarah (pictured below). This is also Kylee's first week of swim lessons. When we got there, we had her in level 2, but after just a few minutes of being there, the teacher told us she should be in the 3rd class because she was quite advanced. Kylee was alittle excited and didnt really follow instructions that well. But the second day she went, she was much better behaved. Shes such a great swimmer and isnt afraid of anything!


On Tuesday my mom came out to visit for a few days. On Thursday we went to the local Northwest Fair. Rhett was working at it so we wanted to go by and see him too. Kylee wasnt afraid of any of the animals. She just went right up and touched them! I swear that girl belongs on a farm! We had such a fun day, despite the heat.













Saturday I went to my Weight Watchers meeting and I have lost 10 lbs total in 5 weeks! I have joined a gym and am taking this kick a$$ class called "weights for women," where a personal trainer takes a small group of ladies and works them until they can not be worked any more! Its painful, but fantastic! It just makes me realize that gaining weight is easy, but loosing it isnt... therefor its very motivating to eat well... with my occasional Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia. LoL! =)


So there you have it! Our week. Oh, I almost forgot the Sears portraits! We went in Thursday night to take pictures of Kylee and Luke. Luke was good for a while, but Kylee was not cooperating with us. If the lady asked her to smile, she would do this totally cheesy fake smile or cross her eyes or something. Then she wasnt keeping still. She kept wanting to uncross her legs or take her shoes off or whatever. So we decided t come back the next day and try again...Which wasnt any more successful. She is just impossible sometimes. But we didn manage to get some cute photos of her and Luke.

Luke has been smiling and talking like crazy this last week! Hurray!!!! Hes so sweet and adorable and we are just loving him so much!!!

PS- Sorry for all the photos!!!

Sisterly Love




I am so lucky that Kylee is so good with Luke. I have heard horror stories about sibling and their little brother or sister. Shes such a big helper and truly loves her little baby brother.

Two Months...




Has gone wayyyyy to fast! I dont want him to get any bigger. I still refuse to let him sleep in her crib. This is our last and I really want to saver the moments I can with my little one. Isnt he just the sweetest?!

Laughing My Butt Off!!!




The other day I wanted to get some pictures of Kylee and I. I told Kylee to smile, and these are the pictures I got. I didnt see them until today when I uploaded them to the computer. I literally laughed so hard I started crying! It scared Luke, cos I was holding him when I saw these. I just realized that I have such a silly little girl... It never hit me until now that she might be a comedian when she gets older. Prepare for more laughs.
