Start Your Engines Please!!

This past weekend we went up north in Manistee, MI. We ended up going to the stock car races!! Little did my family realize how LOUD it was! I ended up walking around the fair with Owen and my cousins. We enjoyed all the farm animals, just not their odor! We had a great time!









Girl Time

KIDS, kids, kids, and more kids!! I have started watching my bother-in-law and sister-in-law's kids this past week. They have three girls and one boy. They are lots of fun and keep me busy all day long! The rest of them are not in this b/c it was nap time, but here are some of Jordan and Jenna!

What a Wedding

This past weekend i was in Florida for Mallory Mathis's Wedding!! Nothing like a destination wedding! It was lots of fun and sad b/c my two boys could not be with me! I missed Owen so much and at the wedding it would have been great if kyle could have been there! It was still fun though! Her wedding was on a yacht in Clearwater, Florida! It was so crazy and we all kept getting lost! Also, who knows how i forgot how hot and humid it can be! Mallory looked absolutley wonderful!!

We had a great time out visting with the family at Jason & Kate's! We made smores and rode the four wheeler. We were all reminded of how out of control Kyle's driving is!! NO JOKE!! He is still a kid when it comes to fun stuff like four wheeling!! We had a blast! OH and that is my baby Suz is holding she just cant keep her hands of Owen!

Don't Miss Jason in the Background!!

Owen is just getting so big and changing so much. He is learning how to grab things and starting to play with toys. It is so amazing!! When he learns something new I feel like i have the smartest kid in the world!! We just love him so much!!

Struggles and Blessings






My darn pregnancy weight!! I have been doing weight watchers and i feel like i am not loosing anything!! I stay on the points, do not use my extras, and i am still not losing weight!! I have been on it for the last 4 weeks and lost 6 pounds but the last two weeks i have not lost anything (maybe 1 pound). I have also been running like 3 to 4 times a week (not far but trying). I have lost 25 pounds and have ten more to go, but it seems that this last ten is going to be a butt kicker! I also would like to be around five to ten pounds my pre pregnancy weight but do not know how realistic that is. I am about to give up!! if anyone has suggestion please let me know!! On the other hand I have so many things to be thankful for i have a wonderful family who i absolutely adore!! I just love my sister! She never ceases to amaze me and make me laugh!! she has always been a godly example to me. She is one of the most beautiful woman i know! She is unique and special to me! I miss the times that we had as children and cherish the moments we have. We both have busy lives so it is hard to get to spend time and just be sisters for a moment!! However last week we got to go to get pedicures which was hilarious b/c you feel like they are all talking about you in a different language. We also get to laugh at our mom, who is freaking out b/c the chair is "kneading" her back! I also have wonderful sister-in-laws. They are always there to point me in the right direction when i fail. I also have a wonderful husband who is what I am not!! He is a hard worker and works midnights! He will come home in the morning and sleep but it seems like he doesn't sleep for more than a couple hours and on a great day five hours. He also is going to school full time while working two jobs. I can not imagine how he deals with it, but amazingly he does and with a better attitude than i have about it!! And My little Owen, who is currently just plain spoiled, but how can you not spoil them he is just soo darn cute! Plus he has his first cold soo i think that is why i have been spoiling him so much!!
