I've Dedicated

I will be starting my weight loss plan. Actually I started today and it's gone okay, so far. I'm putting a list on my sidebar so I can track my progress and so I have to actually be accountable. I weighed myself on Sunday and I'll weigh myself every Sunday from now on and post the amount of weight lost( I wont be gaining). I don't want to post my starting weight, it's too embarrassing for me, but I will post my progress. I'm planning to kick butt and I hope I can keep up the motivation, changing my diet wont be too difficult, but I really hate exercising, that will take a lot more effort.

Little Monster

This is what I found when I asked Sierra to clean her playroom today.

She spent a good 20 minutes throwing a fit about having to clean up her mess, than cried that she wanted to take a nap instead of clean the playroom, than proceeded to fall asleep on top of her toys in the middle of the floor. Usually when she falls asleep in the playroom she's lounging on one of the bean bag chairs watching a movie, I guess she might have been in the middle of cleaning something and decided to just lay right down and go to sleep, but I don't think she got anything cleaned at all. our playroom looks like this most of the time, I'm the only one who knows how to clean it up the right way, and it takes me a while because I like everything to be in the right place so it doesn't get done very often. Every now and then Sissy will pick all of the toys up off of the floor, but that means they're all just thrown into baskets or drawers and stuffed in the closet. At least she tries to help sometimes.

Cuties

Here's a few more pictures of my adorable offspring.

Reece looked so cute on this night when I went to put Sierra to bed, he'd fallen asleep with his arms spread out wide, what an angel.

He fell asleep on the floor in front of the couch in this one, he'd already taken a nap that day, but needed another one I guess. He was watching Mamma Mia, his favorite movie.

I got these cute pictures of Sierra playing with Piper a while back. it's funny because Piper was actually scared of the boa at first and kept hiding behind mine or David's legs when she saw it, but then she started attacking it.

Pics

I've got tons of pictures on my computer that i want to put up, so when i don't have anything to blog about I'll just post some cute pics.

Sierra and Tanner sharing a soda. So adorable.

These pics of the kids were so cute. For our Christmas card I wanted to put One picture of the kids with piper and than one of each of them alone, but they would only let me have 2 pictures total. I absolutely love the pictures of Reece with his hands in his pockets. As soon as i put pants on him he's asking about his pockets, these days.

Group Bath

While Nichole and the boys were visiting last weekend, we gave all 4 kiddos a bath at the same time. Luckily our tub is pretty good sized and they had plenty of room. I remember taking baths with my siblings and cousins growing up, it always made bath time more fun to have someone to play with. We were only going to do 2 at a time, but when we put Sierra and Tanner in they right next to each other and weren't even taking up half of the tub so we decided to put the little boys in too. I love capturing cute memories like this in pictures.

Reece, Carter, Tanner, Sierra.
Aren't they all so cute.

Update

So , I feel like I've been incredibly busy over the past few weeks. I haven't felt like blogging at all, and I have had so much to blog about that, I think, I got overwhelmed with all of it.I want to do a Christmas post and add a bit of everything else and call it good. Then I can start new.

We had a great Christmas over at Dave's parents house this year. All but 2 of Dave's siblings were there and only one cousin was missing. It was quite a house full, but it was so fun to party on Christmas Eve and to have all of the kids wake up and have Christmas morning together. Reece was actually running a fever for the 3 days we were there so he was pretty grumpy, but we tried to keep his fever down as much as we could and tried to keep his mood up as much as possible. Sierra loved playing with her big girl cousins who are also very much into Littlest Pet Shop's, so they got along great.

When the kids came down on Christmas morning Reece wasn't interested in the gifts at all. He went right for the Guitar.

This is Sierra's Hulk face.

Our little family on Christmas Eve.

After all of the Christmas excitement was over, we came home and actually had guests at our house for 2 nights. My sister in law, Nichole and her 2 boys came over just to hang out while my brother was out of town. It was a lot of fun and the kids played together so well. It was actually pretty relaxing for having company over, sometimes that can be a bit stressful, but it wasn't.

For New Years we went to my brother's house and hung out with most of my family. My mom had come to town so it was fun to visit with her for a while too. We mostly hung out and played games and ate snacks, of course we didn't get to bed until almost 2 in the morning, but ti was a great time, too bad I didn't take any pictures.
We just had Christmas with Dad today so i dont have those pictures on my computer yet, but hopefully I'll be able to post some in the next few days. I'm hoping to get back to a somewhat regular blogging routine. At least a few times a week.

Merry Christmas
