Weekend at Grandpa's

I really needed a weekend to get organized for baby boy #3 fast approaching arrival and needed it to be without the big brothers' help. Grammy wasn't able to watch them so I asked Grandpa Nick. We had to do a little rearranging of weekend but he was thrilled to keep them! So the boys got to stay with Grandpa Nick and Melissa this weekend and Mommy and Daddy got a much needed free weekend to ourselves.

The pictures are blurry because they are from Grandpas phone but needless to say, the boys had a great time making a mess and playing.

Grandpa and Melissa came up Saturday afternoon to pick up the boys and get all their stuff to stay the night. I'm told that on the way home there may have been a stop at Dairy Queen for ice cream. Jason and I got right to work cleaning and organzing, mostly the boys' room and baby stuffs. I got a bassinet for baby and got that set up in our room too. After a few hours of cleaning, we got a much needed dinner date to our favorite sushi place. Our 6 year dating anniversary is next weekend so this was an early celebration for that. Then we stopped by some friends house who were having some people over and visited for a while before heading to our favorite coffee house to listen to some music and have a cup of coffee (decaf for me). Man we are old, huh?! We were too late for the music but we did hang for a few and have a yummy foo-foo coffee and a cookie before we headed home. We rented a movie which I promptly fell asleep through and went to bed before it finished. Again, we are old but it was definitely a great, quiet, relaxing and still fun evening together.

The next morning we slept in till 10 AM!! And I fixed us a big breakfast before heading off to my massage that Jason surprised me with. It was glorious.

Grandpa made it back with the boys around 4:30 and we all went out to eat before they headed back home.

I can't get over how refreshed I feel after the weekend. Even though I really missed the boys I think it was way overdue and needs to happen a little more often in the future. 😉

Jason's Graduation: Part I

We drove to KC a couple days before Jason's graduation (Wed) since we had Jason's presidents dinner the night before. I love the big windmills in Oklahoma. We made it into KC fairly late and got to our hotel The Great Wolf Lodge. The keys weren't in the packet when we got up to the room so daddy ran back down to get them while we waited in the hall. Brazos looks way too old throwin up the dueces in this pic... Daddy and Brazos trying on their wolf ears. Brudders Hudson was very happy to be free of his car seat! Daddy took the boys to check out the hotel and get some energy out before bed while Hudson and I settled in. Everything was decorated for Christmas and was so beautiful! The next day I went into the office to work so daddy was at the hotel with the boys for the day, waiting on Mimi and Popo. They went to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast. Probably the sweetest picture of those wolf ears you'll ever see in your life. <3 Thursday night, Jason and I went...

FAF: Another 1 Bites the Dust!

Starting weight: 166.4 Last week's weight: 163.8 Current weight: 162.8 Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week: -1.0 Total weight lost: -3.6 Another week of weight loss! Whoop! Its not much but after another slow exercising week, I'll GLADLY take it! I'm very close [again] to what I weighed when I got knocked up with my pwecious little man so I'm feeling good about that fo' sho'... Working out this week has been rough. I haven't really made/had time for a good solid workout so I'm a little disappointed about that but...eh, I'll just keep squeezing them in there whenever I can and as much as I can. We have a gym membership over by my usual sitter so once she's off maternity leave, I'll be able to run to the gym at night before or after I pick up the monster. My diet this week has been unhealthy - not in what I've eaten, just the quantity. I've hardly eaten a thing! My dinner portions have been cut in half, if not more, so I feel that's a po...

Jason's Graduation: Part II

Dr. Allen, DC 4/5 of our marriage has been spent working towards this day. To say we are excited would be a great understatement. I can't even put into words how excited/happy/scared/proud/relieved, etc, etc, etc we are. There just are no words. Jason has worked tirelessly towards this goal. Countless hours of studying. Sacrificing time with me and the kids. And all the work he put in advertising and recruiting patients into the clinic. Personal training early mornings and late nights to help makes ends meet. And I think of all the sacrifice we've made as a family. Living in a townhouse and then a tiny apartment. I've been the primary provider and a mostly single parent during some stages. And a constant cheerleader and standing behind pushing. We've both been pushing uphill for what seems like forever towards this goal. And we've made it. Not to discount his hard work, because he was the one who really accomplished this goal but I like to think we accomplished thi...
