Random Updates

Looks like it's been awhile since I've posted anything. There really isn't anything too new. Besides Kyle rolling around like crazy. He rolls from his back to front on both sides. He rolls over and then gets mad because he doesn't like tummy time. Hence the reason why he rolled from his back to front first. He's hardly on his tummy because he cries after about 3 minutes. Oh well. He'll learn right? :)

Kyle had his 4 month check up. I've got huge kids. :) Lucy is in the 90th percentiles for her height and weight. Dr. Dr. Godfrey says her weight is prefect and in proportion for her height. So she DOES NOT have a big butt. :) Long story. The only bad thing is that we have to get her a new carseat. One that goes to 65lbs for the harness. I believe it's 4 before they can be in a high back booster and I'm a paranoid freak when it comes to carseat stuff so we'll probably be getting another one. Any recommendations? We've looked at a few. I want a Britax again, but it's not quite in the budget. So we'll probably get the Graco Nautilius. (sp?) Kyle is a big boy as well, but that was no secret. First thing anyone says is "What a chunk. Looks at those cheeks!" Which at times bothers me because IT DOES NOT MEAN that my child is predestined to be a fatty when he grows up. What people say is so tactless and rude. I swear. Anyway, he was about 50-something in the percentiles for his height and 90-something for his weight. Yeah, okay, so he's fat. :) He is healthy as can be. Except he's super grumpy today. He had shots yesterday and I can just tell he doesn't feel like himself today. He's being fussy right now and being the great mom that I am, I'm totally ignoring him and blogging. :)

I guess the biggest thing I want to talk about right now is TV. Biggest Loser!!! HELLO!!!?!?!? Did Pyper cry at it last night...um YEAH! I'm pathetic I know. How much do I hate Vicky? A lot. She soooo annoys me and I was so glad that she looked like crap after the makeover. I hated her red hair. It looked awful. But the main reason why it looked awful was because her face on Tyra was white. What....???? Why was her makeup so ugly? These people are suppose to be professionals. She was not made over for the good. She's definitely looked better. I think Heba's reaction to her brother got to me the most. It was so sweet and I loved how he said he'd take her anywhere if she lost 60 lbs. I really like Michelle. I'm rooting for her. She is beautiful! I won't put any spoilers in just incase someone DVRed it and hasn't watched it yet. But I can say....GO MICHELLE!!! Obviously she didn't get sent home. Also, Jullian has inspired me a little bit. When I'm working out, I imagine her saying things to me. Like "Come on. No crying. Don't be a baby. Push harder. I don't care if it hurts. PUSH IT" etc etc. It works. :)

Hmmm what else...Pampered Chef is going well. I LOVE IT!!! I am so motivated because each new month and even week there are prizes and things you can earn. I don't have any parties in December and I want to get a catalog show in before the19th. So if any of you are up to hosting a catalog show and earn some free stuff, let me know!!!! I'll even throw in a free something for you. I don't know what yet, but something good. :) I want to try to get 4 parties in before th 19th because I get some bonuses. You'd help me out a million times! I know...shameless....
;)

I admit I'm a blog stalker. :) Usually I don't spend too much time on my blog or looking at other people's blogs, but I've found so many people I've known on other people's blogs that I just can't help myself. I hope nobody gets mad, but hey, why have a public blog if you don't intend for people to look. I found a whole lot of people I went to high school with off my friend Joleen's blog. :) Thanks girl. Ha ha. And people off their blogs etc etc. I'm a little embarrassed, but I admit it. I'm just curious to see what happened to people. What they are doing in their lives. Their kids. If they are still married. If they are still living in the area. I'm just having too much fun today when I should be dusting and vaccumming (Morgs, help me out. I STILL don't know how to spell that! UGGG)

Well, I better write this so it holds me accountable. I keep saying I'm gonna do it, but it hasn't happened yet. I still want to get certified to teach step!! There. I said it. Now, DO IT PYPER. I swear, I have so many things that I want to do and I just do a little bit of it then stop. Why? I have no clue. I'm a jack of all trades, master of none. I hope this doesn't sound braggy, but I'm usually good at everything I try. Notice I say GOOD, not GREAT. So I've been doing certain things to gear up to teach step and then I'll go what...about 10 months doing nothing. Okay, okay, blame it on the babies. I've stopped doing step twice because of pregnancies. I really want to teach. I'd love to. I'd love to get paid for working out. Ya'll remember my beachbody.com post about becoming a coach right? I totally wanted to do that because I believe in beachbody but I couldn't afford it at the time. Well, it's still that time. ha ha So if I can get my butt in gear and since RENEE is moving back she can get me going again too. You know you want to help me Renee. I know it was sooooooooo much fun before for you. You know that you'd love to take me under your wing and teach me everything you know. Okay, I'm just begging now. So there. There is my post about becoming an aerobics instructor. So, hold me accountable for it. My goal is in a year to be able to teach. We'll see a year. Just remind me. :)

Ummmm I think that is about it for now. I figure it's taken me all day to write this stupid post because I keep getting distracted and coming back to it. So if it seems really random and incoherent, that's why. So long for now. I'll try to come up with more exciting stuff next time. :)

I've Been MIA

I've basically been MIA because November is doing a repeat of October in being that it's one trial after another. I'm sure there is a greater plan to all this madness and a few lessons to be learned. We'll all look back and laugh one day....

Well, I guess the latest and greatest news is that Lucy broke my sister's LG LCD HD 42" TV. Yeah, lots of abbrev. in there aren't there. I was over watching my sister's kids while they took their oldest for a birthday date. They were watching Kung Fu Panda and Lucy decided to hit the TV with a toy light saber. Anyway, it's a pretty dang spendy TV and I have no idea how we are going to pay for it. I'm sooo not worried about paying them the money and making it right. I'm just worried HOW we are going to do it. I've called our Home Owners Insurance and in our policy, it looks like there will only be $500 at most to be put towards it. My sister called theirs, but I'm not sure what they said. So at any rate, it's going to be a pretty penny and hopefully there will be a quick solution. Drew said "Well, that's a trip to Disneyland." *sigh* Let's say....STRESS!!!

Let's see....what else has been going on lately....? Lucy had a sleepover for her birthday and I have a ton of pictures from it that I need to post. That was a great thing! She had a blast. Kendall and Kate came over for a last minute sleepover. The girls had a blast making cupcakes and decorating them. Making candy necklaces, and watching a movie. They played nonstop and didn't go to bed until about midnight!! I had a grouchy girl the next morning. :)

Now, her friend Charlotte is spending the night tonight. This has become a new thing that Lucy is always asking for. She is LOVING this sleepover thing. It's so fun to watch her grow up. I was so mad at the situation with the TV and felt so bad for being so mad at her. She's three and doesn't understand expenses and such. I was really hard on her and sometimes I forget she's only three. I expect her to act more grown up sometimes and understand, but I also need to remember to let her be a little girl. She keeps saying the funniest things so I'll have to keep up on the Lucy-isms more.

Kyle is getting BIG! He's got the chunkiest cheeks ever and is so stinkin' cute. He's almost rolling over. So close. He is reaching for toys and he chews like crazy. I'm convinced he's teething. Maybe a tooth won't come for awhile, but he's gnawing on my finger and his burp clothes and toys. It will be fun when he starts crawling and getting into things too! :) I'll have to re-baby proof my house. I need to get the kids' pictures taken really bad. Lucy hasn't had hers professionally taken since before she was one. Even if it's at JC Penny or something. Or Sears or El Cheapo. :)

I took Lucy to Disney On Ice compliments of Grandma Jan!! It was AWESOME!!!!!!! They did a beautiful job and the costumes were amazing. I took a million pictures and I basically watched the show through the camera screen. Lucy loved it. She is totally obsessed with Minnie and Mickey Mouse now. I've taught her a few little songs and she is seriously, no joke, obsessed. :) I'm totally going to write a comment on disneyonice.com This show was incredible and if it comes to a town near you, I highly suggest going. Okay, I think I liked it more than Lucy. ha ha

Some more news is that I'm now a Pampered Chef Consultant. I'm super excited!!!!! So those of you out there who want to host a party...by all mean, I'm your gal. :) There are a lot of reasons why I want to do it. Mainly, the market sucks and mortgages aren't cutting it. So I've stepped up and got a "job." I put that in quotes because really, I am looking forward to working. It's really not a job. It's fun! I get to meet a bunch of new people and just show em the goods. I can still be at home which is my ultimate goal. So I can do this at night at weekends while Drew watches the kids. I already have my four required parties set up so as long as they are at least $150, then I can just be done if I feel like this isn't working for me. Most parties average around $500 so I'm not too worried about making my quota. :) I basically got a bunch of super awesome stuff in the start up kit for $55.00 I used my show credit when I hosted so the kit cost me next to nothing. At any rate, like I said you blog stalkers you...if you want to order something or host a party, let me know! :)

Well, there has been so much more but I need to get the girls to bed and finish watching ER while I bawl. It's a sad episode tonight. But then I'll watch The Office and make it alllllll better. Onward and forward.
