We have moved!!

We finally got in our house on the 17th. It doesnt seem like we have been here almost 2 weeks. There is still tons that needs to be done and the garage is full of things we need to sort through. But most of the things we need are unpacked and in the house.

I think I speak for everyone when I say this. We LOVE LOVE LOVE having a house. Greyson loves to run around the whole house and loves to go outside in the back yard. We have had a few warm days and have went outside and enjoyed them. And speaking of that

On Wednesday we went to the park because it was in the 60's that day. Well Greyson went down a slide belly first and must have gone to fast because at the bottom he went off and come back and hit his mouth on the slide. The result, 2 chipped front teeth!!!!!!!!!! We took him to the dentist yesterday and the want to put crowns on his teeth. We haven't yet decided what were going to do, and will probably get a second opinion as I was hoping they could just build the teeth back up with bonding. Im not sure why this particular dentist wants to do crowns. In any case the poor guy is dealing with it fine, and thankfully it didnt break down to where the nerve in either tooth is exposed or close to it. Its simply just chips, a large one on the right tooth and a smaller one on the left tooth. I will post pictures of his broken teeth probably tomorrow.

On another note, if anyone cares...lol I have lost 33lbs!!! I cant believe that in such a short amount of time I have lost this much. I was expecting to loose it slower. But hey ill take what I can get! So just to remind everyone what I looked like before: and I cant BELIEVE im actually posting this. This is at my highest weight ever




and then the after! Well the part of the way anyway. I still want to loose at least another 15lbs maybe 20. Funny cause until I was digging these pictures out a month ago for a friend I didnt see my weight loss, but now that I see those pictures together I can tell a HUGE difference. I have went from a size16 and can currently wear a size 8. SO im happy! Its hard taking pictures of your own body let me tell you so this is all i got..lol

We are moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was a lovely day here in KC. The weather was so pretty that we went outside and let Greyson run around. I think he had a blast. Here are some pics from that.








I cant begin to tell you how excited we are. The time has come for us to tell the old RV good bye and move into a house. We found the perfect house in Lees summit Mo. Its a nice house with 2 bedrooms, garage, basement, large storage pantry, large fenced back yard and the kicker... a DOGGIE DOOR!!!

So the next few weeks well probably a month will be crazy and I probably wont be posting much if at all. I have already started packing trying to get as much done as I can. But alas you cant pack things you will be using. Ill update with pictures of our new house once we are in a settled.



And for those of you who might care about my weight loss here is a pic that seth snapped of my big butt today :) As of today I am down 28lbs since October 15th 2008. So about 4.5 months. I am currently in a size 10 but need to go down to an 8 as they are getting loose! I have tried an 8 and they fit me just fine :) If only my top half would CATCH UP ALREADY!! I have lost 8 inches around my waist so I shouldnt complain. But a total apple shape I am! My goal was 45lbs by end of August 09 so with that in mind I have 17lbs to go. But I am thinking I would like to loose another 25-30 but im sticking with 45 as my goal for now.

A boy and his tools

Well once again we have been busy and I have not updated this blog as much as I have wanted. Plus its hard to get good pictures of Greyson because he runs from the camera. He is getting so big and starting to talk more and repeat what you say. Some new words are night night, nona (seth's mom), Pa (seths dad) on occasion and he is loving to say bathe. His attitude is starting to show big time and he has been spending a lot of time on this



We are trying to find a class for me and Greyson to take together to get out of the house. Last week we took a gymboree art class. He liked it and so did I, and next week were taking music there which I have a feeling he is going to like more. We shall see.

Greyson decided to help Seth put together a toy box we got for the ever growing mound of toys. So here are some pictures from that.









And of couse the car needs worked on :)
Sebastian was sick for a few days after we came back from our trip to hutchinson. And here is Greyson giving him some love


Well thats it for now!! He goes to the doctor on Thursday so hopefully ill update then :)

Just how much is a sock monkey hat worth????

Well when it looks this cute on a lot. You can have your very own for the low price of 28 bucks...:) yep you read that right.. Is that not the most outrageous price for a stupid hat you have ever heard of. Seth just insisted (i kinda did to) that G have it. Granted he will be wearing it for at least the next 4-5 years cause its big on him. But its stinking cute!!!

I dont know what he was doing in that last pic. He was crying though because he wanted to go bye bye..lol

On another note...
Im not sure if many of you who read this blog are aware that for the last 2 months I have been working out at the gym 4-5x per week and counting calories in an effort to loose about 45lbs. Well my hard work is paying off :) Here are some mini victory pictures of me in a size 12 jean. I started in a size 16 ( i cant beleive I wrote that there) because I am an apple shape. They didnt fit my bottom half but had to be that size to button. I have lost a total of 15lbs to date. So even though its kinda weird to put these on here, I am because im so happy to be seeing progress ..lol
Have fun looking at my butt :)

And the tree is FINALLY up :)

Normally our tree goes up the weekend after thanksgiving. This year well we are running a little late because Seth got sick last weekend after our visit to Hutch. He still has whatever it is but its going away. Of course he passed it to Greyson and then me.

Greyson is starting to talk up a storm! He has learned to say a lot of new words in the last week alone. 2 days ago he started saying beep-beep because we were in the store and I was playing around with him saying it. Tonight after I got the tree up, i turned off the lights and said look at the Christmas tree and he said Christmas tree and pointed to it.. cute is all I have to say. Oh and I have been trying for at least a month now to get him to say more please when he would like more food or milk and 2 days ago he finally did it! He doesn't say please yet but he will say more. Were still working on please.

Oh and we have finally got him to drink from a hard spout cup!! WOOHOOO

Tell me how 4 gifts what I said I was getting for Greyson ahem turned into about 15 or so? I didnt take count but you can see in the pictures above its more than 4. In my defense most of them are books and I wrapped each one so he can open more. I have a feeling he is going to like to unwrap this year. And that 15 or so doesn't include his stocking and ahem 2 good size gift bags full of loot :)

Enjoy :) Here is our tree, Greysons first christmas ornament (were going tomorrow to get this years), and some random pics of Greyson.

Whew its been a LONG time......

We have just been super busy. Greyson and I have been doing lots of playdates and seems like we are never home. He is getting so big and starting to talk up a storm! I am amazed at all the words he can say now. He is just a little person now. Boy does he have a temper though when he doesnt get what he wants. I guess he gets that honest though :)

Right now were trying to get ready for the upcoming holidays. Were going down to Hutchinson (KS) to be with Seth's parents for Thanksgiving. Christmas we are staying home, but hoping we will get visitors. We are staying in Hutch until Saturday and coming back to get the tree set up. I still have yet to do much shopping so hopefully in the next few weeks (cause thats all I have) I will get everything done. Not sure what to get Greyson because he is still young yet. We did get him a new chair and ottoman set. Ill post pictures of that later im sure.

For now.. Today we decided to go to the zoo! It was basically half price admission and it was a little chilly this morning but warmed up. Greyson was a bit more interested this time around. Last trip he could care less. So here are some pictures from today!

Enjoy

Popcorn and puzzles whats better???????

A few from last night... Popcorn with daddy.. Who says you cant give toddlers popcorn? I read that somewhere in a some book.. :) He likes his popcorn from the bag. Doesnt care much for it unless you let him get it out for himself. I love the first one of his face and mouth full of popcorn.. its totally cute :)







Long time post due.. Greyson is cute as always. He has started talking up a storm and loves to talk on the pretend cellphone. Either the fake nemo one we bought him or ours which we have to lock otherwise he calls China. Even still its cute. He has started so many words and at times im amazed at what comes out of his mouth. His latest favorite is yep you guessed it NO ! He says it plan as day. Its cute but wont be in another few months.

He likes to "do" his puzzle as you can see from the pic below. I love the look on his face as if he is concentrating really hard. Look at the one 2nd down. His tongue is sticking out..lol
