Weekly Weightloss Update | #weightloss #fitness

Well, I'm off to a good start! If you recall, I wrote a post about a week ago called "Time to Reboot!" I weighed today, and I have lost 2 pounds.  That's fantastic, because all I've really done is cut out fast and fried foods and Cokes (or soda water as my dad would say!) After talking to a friend of mine, this morning, and my mom, today, I've realized that I'm ok if it takes me five years to get to my goal weight, as long as I'm eating right, exercising, and being healthy.  I don't have to go…

Why are you saving your money, Braxton? #kids #starwars #legos #toyota

After a conversation that went on between Hawk and Andy last night, Hawk looked over and said that he doesn't have money, but Braxton does. Braxton looks up from the Kindle and says, "Yeah, I'm saving my money." Andy asks him what he's saving for. Braxton says, "Well, I'm saving my money to buy Legos, of course, and a truck. Andy asks him what kind of truck. Braxton shoots back immediately, and says "A Toyota." Andy laughs, and says, "well, ok then!"  He thinks for a second and asks him, "do you just want a Toyota because it has the…

Why Hawk melted down when he checked the mail! #kids #bills

Yesterday, Andy asked Hawk to check the mail.  When he came in, Andy told him there was a "bill", and Hawk grabbed it and really wanted it.  When Andy asked for it back, he told him "you don't have money to pay it," and Hawk got so upset.  We let him have it and open it up, and Andy looks at it and said, "You definitely don't have $17,000!" Hawk started bawling.  Hysterically. This went on for about 15 minutes.  Finally, when he calmed down enough to tell us what was wrong, he said, "I don't have that much money!! …

The Gamer: God put that rock there for a reason. #geek #minecraft

My kids are seriously geeks.  Like seriously. They're playing Minecraft, of course, and The Entertainer (5) pretty much plays just to destroy things.  This makes The Gamer (8) mad every. single. time. This particular time, The Entertainer is going through destroying everything and The Gamer looks at him and says, "God put that rock there for a reason, so I don't think you move it." After a few moments, he says, "You remember that from Goonies?" Geeks, I tell ya. It's awesome, but they're geeks.

Jett is 15 months old and he's not yet talking.  He walks around the house saying "Mama mama mama" but sometimes, I don't really think he's talking to me.  He speak in jibberish, a lot, and will occasionally say "Sat?" that's basically "what's that", and sometimes, he even says something that sounds like "Sup?"  I'm not worried about it though!  He'll learn!  Have you your little one met Little Pim?  He's absolutely adorable, and his Little Pim Fun with Languages DVDs are spectacular!

Why are my boys talking about Hemorrhoids? | #Minecraft Giggles

Welcome to another episode of Minecraft Giggles. So I'm in the kitchen making cookies for the kidlets, when I hear the boys in the living room having the strangest conversation! Braxton:  Wow, that's a lot of hemorrhoids. Hawk:  I know, he needs more. Braxton:  I wonder how he got them.  Another hemorrhoid.  They just keep popping up. I walk into the living room, and I see they're watching a youTube video on the Xbox with some guy playing Minecraft, of course.  The guy was looking over his inventory, and I got a better listen at what Braxton said. Braxton:  Another…

Move ‘N Groove Kids DVD Review & Giveaway (1/18) #Fitness #Kids

For much of the kiddos' Christmas vacation, it's been cold and rainy.  I can count the number of days, on one hand, that they've actually been able to play outside or go to the park.  Today is going to be another one of those days.  The rain is supposed to set in, soon.  It's extremely important, for me, in the new year, to keep my kiddos active.  I've decided that enough is enough, and we're getting back into our healthy and active routines.  Move 'N Groove Kids DVDs have helped my kids stay moving around while stuck inside!

Out of the mouths of Geeklets! #Minecraft Giggles #kidssay

My boys play Minecraft. A lot. They also say words wrong.  A lot. For instance, when they are supposed to be "mining", they are "minding". When something is supposed to be "spawning", they are "spawneding".  Or "spawned" is "spawneded". On New Year's Even, Andy and I attended a Sunday School Party, and the boys stayed with my parents for the few hours we were there.  After we picked them up, and we got home, I asked the boys, "Did you mind Mimi and Papa?" They booth looked at me like I was crazy, and immediately shook their heads no! It…
