What is all of this stuff?!?!?

True Story

** This may be TMI if you don't like to hear/read about poop. **

Grayson was playing with his toys tonight, when he looked up and said, "Mama, Uh-oh!" "What?" I asked. He answered, "poo poo". Jason and I looked at each other and thought... there is no way.... 

Guess what??? 

Grayson wasn't telling a story! He really did go!! YAY, Grayson!! 

Reading with Dad

Ringing In 2011

Last night, we celebrated the arrival of the new year, the way we celebrate most every year... with my extended family at my parents' house! We had a great time with everyone, and it was fun to see my cousin, her husband, and her kids. They currently live in Kansas, so we don't see them as often as we'd like.

Grayson and Addy!

Addy is a little less than a year older than Grayson, and they played together so well last night! Grayson wasn't quite sure how to handle other kids playing with his toys, but I think he did okay!

I love how Addy is listening to Grayson babble... maybe she can translate for us!

Addy, Ava, and Grayson

Ava! I just love her pretty, dark curls! 

Mama and my cousin's puppy!! Funny! 

Jamie

This is my cousin's husband Jamie with the pocketbook he won for his wife from our White Elephant game.  Jamie just returned from a year in Iraq (he is in the Army) ten days ago. We're so proud of him, and we're thankful for his service to our country. You do look silly with that pocketbook, though! 

My cousin Whitney looks AMAZING for being 37 weeks pregnant. We're all getting a little anxious to meet the new baby, and we're praying for an easy delivery and recovery for Miss Whitney. We love you, and we will always be here for you and little Kayden! 

I was impressed with my 18 pound weight loss, but my Aunt Brenda has lost 120 pounds this year!!! We are so proud of all of her hard work, and it is exciting to hear about how her health has improved by leaps and bounds! 

Aunt Mitzi and my cousin Alexis.... so cute! 

Aunt Brenda said she liked the other picture, but NOT this one!! I forget what we were talking about.

No New Year's Celebration is complete without a few Wii games! 

Corrie and Grandma


Corrie teaching Grandma how to use the Wii remote... CUTE!! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Resolution for 2011

Last year, I made three resolutions. Of the three, I accomplished one. I met the ten pound weight loss (plus another 8). YAY for me... but it really wasn't that difficult. Chasing around Grayson has pulled weight off me faster than I could have ever imagined. Haha... hopefully I won't find that weight this year!

The other two resolutions were to save more money, and follow Fly Lady. I learned how to shop the deals, but I DID NOT save more money. Unfortunately, for me, shopping the deals made me purchase more things... and I did not save. My house was messier than it has ever been this year, so a Fly Lady follower I was not.

This year I have ONE resolution. I'm only choosing one, because I KNOW I can do it if I focus on one thing.

My kitchen will be clean, clean, clean before I go to bed
EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. 

Now, does this mean I don't care about the rest of our house? No. I just want to start with something that I know I can make myself do, and then go from there. A clean kitchen has always made me feel less stressed, and more ready to start the day. I think it will be a wonderful thing to wake up to. 

In other news, I found a REALLY awesome blog a couple of days ago. Check out reagansblob.com. I think I'm going to live my big city life daydreams vicariously through this girl. Haha!
