Happy B-day Jesus!!

Chilluns keeping warm...

Yum, Yum.


Here are the snowmen I made out of donuts. The black gel icing bled onto the powdered sugar, and they look as though they have black eyes. lol



Here is chef AJ helping me make cupcakes for the party.




Here is Micah and Kason. Not sure about the spelling on his name. Micah was very sleepy and grumpy as you can see.





Wed. night we had a party with some of our neighbors. It was a lot of fun. The kids played so well together. We had a ton of food! We also exchanged ornaments and that was a lot of fun as well. We need to do it again!

Gravity sets in.......


Alright this is a weight loss update that is good, but I am down about my body. I still have ten pounds to loose. This is the quickest I have lost pregnancy weight. I never thought I would be this vain but I am considering surgical options for relief. Comparing my body to a woman who delivered three kids vaginally is something I shouldn't do, comparing my body to any woman is not good. But I do it. The toll that age, pregnancy, and 3 major abdominal surgeries has taken on me, leaves me feeling less than beautiful. Bless my husband for trying. No amount of exercise is going to bring back the elasticity in my skin. If I put 1 dollar away for every time I have to tuck myself into my jeans, how long do you think it would take me to save for a tummy tuck? Or a boob job? Or both? I probably would have to put away $20 every time. That would still take me about 4-5 yrs. Am I having a midlife crisis already? Approaching thirty doesn't seem so bad. I definitely need to exercise. And eat better. It is getting easier. Although I just had some Oreos for lunch ;) I'm just so hungry all the time! Adding 500 calories to a daily diet of 2000 is not as easy as it sounds! Especially when it needs to be healthy food. One of my goals for 2009 is to not buy soda for the house. I would like it better if we only had it on special occasions, and when we are out. Have any of you thought about your goals?
