Lil this... Lil of that...

Good morning... :D I hope today finds you better than it did me. About 3am Ayden starting walking to our room throwing up. Oh how I love to wake up to the sound of my child vomiting. :( I'll add a picture of him and Baylee hanging out this morning. She's running a fever. :( double ugh!

Onto a good note. I made Hawaiian Ham dip this weekend. Please don't remind me that I am to be losing weight. LOL I shouldn't be eating this stuff. I made it for the Scentsy party I had for my good friend. She just started selling Scentsy... so I got to be her guinea pig and host her first show. It went very well. Here is the link to her Scentsy site if you'd like to check it out. https://jrfrank.scentsy.us/home

I will post the Hawaiian Ham dip recipe and picture of it after I finish this post.

OK back to the issue of my weight. I am going to try and get back to my goal weight. What I was before children. That means I have about 100 lbs to lose. This is so not going to be easy. I just have to face the fact that I totally, totally love food and I need to really watch what I eat. My next questiong is have you ever watched the show Ruby? It is the journey of her losing weight. She weighed 716lbs and now is at 339lbs. How amazing. If she can do that so can I. Now its time for me to get busy!!!!

Hello world :D or maybe more like 5 or 10 people who will actually read this. This is my first blog post! Yippee! So a little about me... I am very outspoken. If you don't like what I have to say in my blog... I would say don't read it. ha I am not the best writer in the world, therefore my grammar will not be the best. This blog is about me finding myself daily. I am ready to learn new things and better my life for my children's sake. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to bake and listen to music and sing. My kids love these things as well. Bread is my specialty. I am the youngest of 3 children and so is my husband. He grew up on the farm and I grew up in the city (if you can call it that). My parents were house parents for a boys home. I lived there until I was 7. That would definitely be where my outspoken, strong personality comes from. Beyond that hard surface I am a big lover. I have a great love for children and the earth and of course animals.

My kids... MacKenzie is 6 1/2. She is stick skinny, red headed, freckled faced with HUGE blue eyes. She loves it when I run my fingers on the freckles on her nose and tell her that God put each little freckle on her face. She like her mom is a big music fan and is an EXTREMELY big animal lover!

Ayden is 2 1/2 and is a spitting image of his Father. They both love tractors and everything that has to do with farming. He loves to wear his boots and hat and stomp in every mud puddle in sight!

Baylee Ann is 17 months and looks at acts just like me. She has extremely blond hair (like me when I don't have mine died) and big blue eyes just like myself and her big sister. She has a very strong personality as well. She likes to tease and laugh and wrestle her big brother. He out weighs her by a good 15/20 lbs but she can take him down in nothing flat.


And with that I think I'll end this post.... There is plenty more to share but those are the basics.
