Macady Turns 11

This beautiful young lady is now 11! It seems like just yesterday that her father and I were bringing her home from that hospital.

Macady has such a love of art, music and theater. It wouldn't surprise me at all if one day I saw her on the big screen.

Macady is a great blessing in our home. She strives to be helpful in learning how to cook and care for her younger sister.

It amazes me that she started out so small but now is almost as tall as I am!

I see nothing but positives in her future. She has such a go to it attitude. Very much like her dad. I look forward to all the teen experiences (yep, I said it) Some one to go shopping with, and all the heart to heart about boys breaking her heart.

I thank God every day that he allowed me to be her mother.

My baby is 7!!

Okay, so I know this post is a little late.... by almost two months!

Abby turned 7! I can't believe that my baby is seven. It really does feel like just yesterday I was watching her take her first steps.


Or even her first day of school, but nope she is now in second grade and amazes me every day. She is such a blessing in our lives and I thank God every day for allowing me the pleasure of having her.

Abby is a great little one. She knows that when I'm sad her climbing into my lap and snuggling is one of my favorite things. She is also a little girl to the core!!! She loves dresses and playing house, wearing pretty bows in her hair and dancing.

Thank you Abby for being such a sweet spirit and a light in our home!!!

The worlds greatest husband!

That's right ladies, I said it. I have one of the great ones. I have been struggling to lose weight for over 11 years now. I have actually done the opposite and now weight almost 70 more pounds then I did when I was in high school. For those of you with PCOS you know how big a battle it is to even maintain our weight, heck with trying to lose it!!

I'm not a very good self motivator when it comes to exercise.... heck there are so many other things that I would prefer to be doing... like taking a nap! And so my husband got me a present. A three year membership to Golds Gym, with a personal trainer!!!!!

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!

Just what I need. I met Tom for the first time last week and am excited to say that I didn't even feel insecure about my fitness level....(its below lazy) He has me recording what I eat and what kind of exercise I do and then he shows me what I really need to be doing.

Hopefully my goals are in sight!
