Low Carbs Sucks...

I don't think I realized how much I like bread. The hubby and I decided its time for a diet. We both need to shed about 15 lbs and so we decided to 1: watch what we are eating, and 2: work out work out work out.

I miss bread. MMMM with peanut butter and jelly, or plain, or with lots of butter. I have visions of it in my head. I'm eating soup right now for dinner and thinking, mmm a roll would be nice!

But, I can do it! I have to. I am not happy right now body wise and I am determined to shed the weight.

Oh, on a lighter note I found my best friend from when I was a little kid on facebook yesterday. I am so excited! I haven't seen her since I had Ambria and we seriously spent the first 18 years of our lives together. We were neighbors and we were always together. But ya, that was totally random in my no carb post but eh, it's been one of those days!

Chuck E Cheese on Saturday! Yes, I can't wait!

Wow! It's Been a While!

WOW! Where has time gone? I have been a busy lady lately and haven't posted forever. Things haven't changed much. Lots of little things have happened but nothing too major. So instead of go backwards and fill in all the blanks, let's start by going forwards shall we?

Tomorrow is my first day back to school in 5 months! It hasn't sunk in just yet I'm afraid. I am scared, excited, nervous, all at once! It will take a while to get back in the groove I am sure, but I can do it.

Facebook is evil. It takes precious time away from my blog. My blog is neglected and I feel bad. There just isn't enough time in my day anymore. I will try and be better. Here are a few highlights from the past month and a half.

Kids started school August 20th. Ambria is a big 1st grader. She has aced all 3 of her weekly spelling tests so far and is kicking some major butt! Ke'alohi started Jr. High. She goes to school in Lehi and her school is very nice. The boys are at a new elementary school in eagle mountain. Kayden is talking like crazy now. He is such a curious little guy, always asking what everything is and trying to say words himself. Oh, and we have been working on potty training. He's doing good, but we still need to teach him how to aim!

Bear bit one of our neighbors, and was on house arrest for a bit. He didn't mean to harm anyone he was just playing but our neighbors are pretty lame and called the police on him. It was a big misunderstanding really. Grizzly got hit by a car a few weeks ago. Luckily the guy slammed on his breaks and just tapped him but $500 later we know he is fine. He is getting so big. I will post some updated pics later for sure.

Other then that, not a lot has changed. Sorry for the delay in posts! I will try and be better going forward. Pinky promise.

Have a great day!

Sorry

Lot's to say, not enough time. I promise a big update this weekend. MWAH

What's That......

...in her head you ask?

Oh go ahead, click and make it bigger and you can count them for yourself! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 STAPLES! Yep that's right, I said it, staples.

So, what happened?
That is exactly what I asked when I saw her head!

Yesterday our neighbor Heather watched Ambria and decided to take both her and her daughter swimming at the local pool. Well, at some point Ambria decided to do a flip in the water, and hit her head on the side of the pool cutting it open (it was quite the gash about 2 inches long).

After she hit her head she said it hurt but she soon forgot about it and kept swimming for another couple of hours. Later, at Heather's house, she reached back to touch it and saw it was bleeding at which point she freaked out! Heather washed her up and had her put some ice on it until I got home. Once I looked at it I knew it needed stitches.

So we spent the night at Instacare getting staples. Joy. Although they did put a numbing gel on her head she still felt the staples go in and cried pretty hard. I felt so bad for her. The process made me very nacious and I had to sit in the office for a minute to compose myself before I left. UGH. Ambria's dad came down to see her at the doctor and took her to icecream after.

The worst part about this whole ordeal is that in two days we leave for North Carolina where we have a gorgeous 6 bedroom beach house with our own private pool! Not to mention we are right ON THE BEACH. Ambria can't soak her head for 10 days until the staples are removed which will really limit what she can do on our trip. What a bummer. I am just glad she is ok. She is a tough little girl.

Rush City Rodeo

We took a drive down to Cas and Dave's and went to the Rush City Rodeo! It was awesome. Kayden and Ambria had a good time. Cas was sick and didn't make it out, but Dave still came. Here are some pics.

A Night Out

Nick and I had a night out alone with no kids on June 27th. This night was awesome because our good friend Simon who stopped DJing 3 years ago decided to come back and play again. It was a blast! It's nice to get out sometimes and just dance and enjoy yourself!

HOTTIE ALERT!

This is Simon aka "Sektor 7"

In the works!

Getting crazy with it!
