Sunday not so funday

well y'all I'm phone blogging yet again but this time it's not because if laziness lol it's because my hubby is using our only laptop (kids broke the other yet again) to do his homework, leme tell ya I see how long his papers are for his masters and I so don't look forward to it! speaking if school Im starting where I left off on my bachelors when we get back from vacation the sooner I finish school the better :)

today wasn't any different than any other day I worked from 6-2, I did however work with the Alzheimer's residents for the first time and loved it, made a few new friends ;) today sucked so bad because I'm SO sore from leg/butt day at the gym yesterday, I could barely lift and move my legs and I kept getting butt cheek cramps lol as sore as I am it feels good knowing I'm in pain for all the right reasons haha! I decided to just stretch my ass off tonight so I can make it through work tomorrow, so I skipped the gym ( I feel like a failure lol )

on a different note I've been getting compliments on how nice and tan I am, freaking finally after all the burning and peeling lol it's hard being a girl! speaking if being a girl for all the ladies who love makeup like me the website www.bhcosmetics.com is awesome! everything is pretty affordable and it's good makeup, and this is coming from someone who is obsessed with MAC makeup lol

I guess I can stop rambling on and go do some abs, my plank challenge, and test myself on push-ups, sounds awesome right? -__-

goodnight bloggers :)

5K for the win!

well I signed up for ANOTHER 5K lol I swear I'm killing myself! This one is called the "Drenched Run" it's to support our Firefighters! If you go to the site http://rundrenched.com/ you'll see just how fun it's going to be, I'm so excited! I've got a few girlfriends who already registered as well so I won't be lonely lol I'm def looking forward to the 3 story free fall, I may shit my pants but it's totally going to happen. On top of this 5K and my two other 5Ks and the memory walk I'm also going to be doing Mud Volleyball! A couple of my friends invited me to be on their team and who the heck would want to pass that up? I don't know if I'll be able to do the "dirty girl mud run" because of the date it falls on so  hopefully they reimburse me, if not oh well but I for sure am doing both color runs and the drenched run and of course the memory walk. I haven't really been "training" I  don't feel like I need to I can run 3.5 miles fairly easy so I'll just continue at my pace, however today at the gym I totally fucked up my knee even worse because I'm hard headed and still ran, but I did legs and butt today and man I'm so sore!( front squats, back squats, walking lunges, one leg lunges, leg press machine and inner and outer hip abductor machines ) ran 2.5 miles then walked 8.0 incline 1.5 miles so yea feel my pain? lol and I get to wake up and walk all day at work! haha good thing I love my job eh? OH I also went tanning and I basically look like a baboons ass! idk why I keep burning, was I really THAT pale? geez! lol

with that being said lemme take my red ass to bed hope y'all have a good night!

Family Friday

Today has basically been a pretty chill day, the kids were amazing and I got to take TWO naps one was 4 hours and one was 2 hours hellz yeah! I cleaned up a bit and we got KFC for dinner. Tonight I'm making hubby and I pina coladas, I'm baking cookies, then hubs and I are watching a movie with our babies then having our own movie night, I love days like these just spending time with my amazing family. Today was also my "break day" from the gym, my freaking knee is killing me so as much as I want to kill it at the gym I don't want to hurt myself even more.

last night I pre-registered  for ANOTHER 5K called "Run or Dye" it's pretty much just another color run but this one is in Dayton and it's on September 21st. I've gotten a few girls together already to run with me, I'm trying to get as many people as possible, the more the merrier!

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIEND DYE ALONE!

 I also have a "memory walk" in October for work to raise money for Alzheimer's and dementia so anyone living in ohio reading this I'll keep you posted on the actual DAY and where it'll be hosted, but Emeritus at Fox Run is hosting it, we are also doing car washes, garage sales, bakes sales etc to raise money and again I'll keep you posted in case anyone is interested in helping out, its for a great cause! :D

1 WEEK til vacation! can you tell im pretty pumped since I talk about vacation in almost every post lol! My sister also graduates college so we will be celebrating by doing a pig pickin and family bbq! cuz that's how we do in the south! :P So proud of her! It's hard attending college, working full time and having kids but she pulled through! If you're reading this Dayna IM PROUD OF YOU :D and I'll be yelling GO PENIS! as you walk across the stage! hahahahahah

on a different topic, I started this blog out of pure boredom and it became something that I actually enjoy, my "mommy time" and I never thought I'd get as much support as I have. I never thought so many people would enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it. I'm 100% honest with everything I say or tell you all I don't sugar coat shit I don't pretend my life is unicorns and rainbows I tell it how it is and I think that's what attracts  people, there is so much "fakeness" in this world it's nice to see some "realness" every once and awhile lol am I right? But thanks to everyone who supports my blog it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside lol

 

Well I hope everyone has a great night, time for me to get my drink on and enjoy this amazing family I've been blessed with :)

I workout! wiggle wiggle wiggle YEAH!

Lately I've been killing it in the gym and have loved every painful minute of it lol. I set a goal which was to run 3 miles everyday and I have done that all this week so far and every time I've beat my previous time. The first day I ran 3 miles it took me 40 minutes -__- the next day it took me 35 and the day after it took me 33 minutes so I'm pretty happy with myself and I feel very accomplished because it has always been hard for me to run 3 miles without stopping to take a break. Not only did I run everyday but on leg day I did leg machines and I also did one legged squats with free weights then I used a 40lb bar and did regular squats and wide leg squats (to get a nice booty) lol the next day I did arms and the day after I did back so today I'm pretty effing sore and really don't feel like going to the gym but I always tell myself "the days you don't want to go are the days that'll make a difference" and it's always this way I never want to go but as soon as I get in the gym I get hype LOL I haven't really lost weight and I do understand muscle weighs more than fat so I'm fine with that but I have lost inches and that's really what matters to me so WHOOO HOOO! haha ontop of going to the gym I used one of those thing a ma jiggys that you wear and it calculates how far you walk in a day and at work ALONE I walk 10 miles!! holy fucking shit right?! that's not including lifting residents all day.

I've been doing research on body building lately and I'm considering giving it a try, once I set my mind to something I always accomplish it, I was thinking about hiring an evening sitter just so I can go to the gym with my husband at night so he can give me some pointers because he is doing the whole body building thing. But we shall see how this works or if I even decide to do it lol. One thing I do love and live by is my belly band or waist trimmer. I wear it around sometimes but mostly at the gym, it's pretty gross when I'm running and it gets so sweaty that it slides around haha and once you take that sucker off I swear it's like you have new lungs and can BREATH! lol and like I said in a previous post I use the My Fitness Pal app so I track my calories as well and I've been pretty good with staying under my max calorie intake.

As far as diet goes I totally SUCK! even though I stay under my max calorie intake I don't always eat the best things lol I'm a sucker for sweets! oh and Osaka! lol but I'm definitely trying to get back on track with eating better I've been doing a little better lately I'll eat yogurt for breakfast with some wheat toast with a little peanut butter then ill pack strawberries and carrots for lunch/snack at work, one thing I know for sure I'm going to have a hard time giving up is Dr. Pepper, don't get me wrong I LOVE me some water but I'm pretty much addicted to dr. pepper lol but hopefully soon I can give it up completely I'm going to start "weaning" myself off of it I learned a new trick to doing that.

WE ARE KILLING IT! lol

 

 

 

p.s. I think I'm the only crazy person that listens to slow jams while working out LOL but it gets me through so I ain't mad at it! :P

p.s.s. exactly 1 week before vacation! hellz yeah!

I guess I'll go clean up now then hit the gym..
until tomorrow blog friends!

phone blogging!

whoa buddy! phone blogging is pretty damn annoying BUT I just got off work by work I mean walking around for 8 hours changing and feeding old people lol SO I don't really feel like walking to the room to get the computer haha yessss go laziness! I deserve to be lazy though, I'm a hard worker :)

so as y'all know my husband is trying to go officer in the army and I swear it's been one battle after another in order for him to be cleared to go to meps he needed documentation for things like when he got the syst removed from his back as a child,  meds he is allergic to, when he got later eye surgery etc. and today they finally cleared him!! thank The Lord!  so hopefully after vacation he will be able to take the board get a bootcamp and OCS date the. we can get the eff out of Ohio! our #1 choice for bases in the army we chose NC so fingers crossed!

let me tell y'all what my husband did today lol he was trying to surprise me at work with lunch but first he had to go to base for a couple things that ended up not workin as planned then as he is driving the boys to school his tire busts on the highway, he finally got that fixed and got the boys to school and by the time craziness had calmed down I was off work lol I love that man! haha but I did come home to a clean house and dinner made and can I just say for a man he did such an amazing job dressing aubree lol he put her in a cute sun dress with gladiator sandals and he out her hair in a side ponytail she looks so freaking adorable!

for anyone who owns or rents a home if you get sod or have sod yes it's pretty and thick grass BUT that shit grows so damn fast! I mowed the lawn hmm about 4 days ago and it was a jungle again so I had to freaking mow it again yesterday and with my backyard being humongous I was pretty much dead! y'all should've seen me though lol I was basically running with my mower bahahah OH and I added some dark brown mulch out front and my yard looks a little more spiffy lol now I just need my rose bushes to start blooming and to add soil to my garden which btw is about 10ft long and 2ft wide, now to try and keep the kids from messing with it -_- yeah like that'll happen! lol

well time to get our shop on, NEW CLOTHES FOR EVERYONE! then go for a run around the neighborhood since it's nice and sunny today.. btw running with a jogging stroller is definitely an experience hahah

p.s. I'm EXTREMELY proud of my husband, I don't know many 23 year olds working on a masters degree and about to be an officer while taking care of a wife and 3 kids.  PROUD wife moment!

Hectic Day!

Ello govena!
So today was such a crazy busy day, I woke up at 4am worked til 2pm took my babies to get updated on their shots and to get Ayden's shot record so we could... dun dun dun.. register him for kindergarten!  merrrrp :(( He was so excited walking into his "big boy" school and I was on the brink of tears lol  I seen older kids 4th & 5th graders and all these thoughts just pour in my head like are the bigger kids going to pick on my son, is he going to be bullied, will he get beat up, he is going to be afraid and is a crazy man going to shoot up the school. yeah I was basically in freak out mode. I know he is going to do so well in school he tests above his grade level and age (proud parent moment) and he LOVES school so I know he won't have a problem with separation, another good thing is his school is Monday-Friday 8:30am-4pm. When I was registering him today I had to fill out a "bus form" and AGAIN I had a freak out moment, I'm not too fond of buses especially with my babies tiny body on it BUT I know he is so excited and feels so grown now that he is able to ride a bus so I decided the first day maybe week of school I'm going to take him and pick him up then after that he will be riding the bus. I knew the time was coming that we would need to buy school supplies =/ and they gave me the list today

 

I might as well just send the damn house with him lol just kidding! It's not too bad I just hope his teacher doesn't request anything else. He starts school the DAY BEFORE his 5th birthday so I guess on his second day of school I'll be bringing the class cupcakes (yeah I'm THAT mom) lol Just knowing that in 4 months my baby wont be much of a baby anymore makes ME a big baby lol so sad! 

Ok so enough with being a big emotional ball! I seriously LOVE my job! I know I keep telling y'all this but the residents seriously just make my day! especially when they look at me and say " I love you " :)) love them! My kids get a kick out of it too when I come home and tell them I changed old peoples diapers, they just crack up laughing, today though when I picked the boys up from Pre-K Ayden asks "did you have a good day at work mom? did you help the old people" my response " I had an awesome day, I change a lot of old people's diapers today" he then busts out laughing and didn't stop for a good 5 min lol they just think that is the funniest thing in the world knowing that old people wear diapers, BUT now they think THEIR grandmas and grandpas wear diapers! hahaha ! speaking of grandmas and grandpas, our vacation is only a couple of weeks away!! we are going to New York then New Jersey then Charlotte then good ol Havelock and finally South Carolina for my sister in law's  boot camp graduation. super duper proud of her!

Well I guess I can stop rambling and get my ass in bed I have to be up at 3am.. hard working woman problems.. lol good night y'all!

First Day At Work

Ok y'all, like I promised I'm here to tell you about my first day at my new job. I work at a nursing home called Emeritus and I absolutely LOVE it! The residents there just make my day, they are sweet, funny, and so ADORABLE! Before I started working I was thinking it was going to be "gross" etc. but it really isn't, it's like seeing a bunch of my grandmas and grandpas and just taking care of them. I do everything from changing their "diapers" to getting them dressed, fixing their hair, giving them showers, feeding them etc. It really warms my heart to be able to work there and help the residents living there and boy do they appreciate it, I've never heard so many "thank you's" and "you're such a nice person" in my life, it was my first day and I've already created a bond with the residents. On top of that the co-workers are super nice and fun so that makes it even better, I may not make $15/hr but when you find a job you really really like the pay doesn't really matter, I'd work there for free in a heart beat. I'm excited to wake up every morning and get back in there to work. On another note I helped my son Ayden do homework tonight (he had to write his ABC's) and just seeing how perfectly he held the pen how perfectly he could write and how perfectly he knew the is ABC's made me SO proud yet SO sad at the same time, my baby is growing on me and before I know it his voice will be deep and I won't be able to kiss him in public :(

Well y'all time for me to hit the sack, this lady has to wake up at 4am

Have a good night!

=]

I want to start off this post by talking to you about my friends. I don't have many (by choice) but the one's I do have are amazing! While I worked at a place called Assurant I made friends with 2 amazing girls Alexia and Carly, we instantly just clicked and became really good friends. These girls are the type of friends that are GENUIENLY happy for me rather than trying to compete with me. I never have drama with these two only smiles and laughs, I'm really grateful to have met these ladies

MY BISHES!

 

It was so nice to catch up with my girls at dinner last night at OSAKA! yumm! We literally cracked up laughing the entire 3 hours we were there lol my other friend Deanna (girl in the pic on top) introduced me to "cowboy rolls" and lemme tell you they were amazing! it's rice, seaweed, avocado, creamcheese, fried beef and I don't know what the sauce is on top but it's overall pretty damn good!

MM MM MMMMM!

 

 

on another note, I START MY NEW JOB AT THE NURSING HOME TOMORROW! yay! I'm so excited I used to volunteer at a nursing home in NC when my mom worked there and I loved it. and what makes it even better is my girls carly and alexia work there! whoo hoo! I'll be working 6am-2p and 5am-10am PERFECTO! With that being said I need to get my tush in the shower and ready for bed, I'll make sure I tell y'all all about my first day :D

 

but before I got let me share this wall decal my husband got for our living room

 



 

Adorable right?! we are going to put picture frames around the decal..  once we are finished I'll post a pic of the entire wall :)

 

Well have a good night everyone

lets catch up! week recap!

oh hey blog world! long time no see!
 I've totally been slacking the past week so let me catch you up :)
 LOTS of pics

super cute decal we got for the hallway! "all because two people fell in love" we are going to hang family pictures down the hallway underneath the decal! SO CUTE!

Let me tell y'all about the bakery that's literally 2 seconds from my house ( I walk to it) they have THE best brownies, cakes, cookies and doughnuts EVER! It's called Granny C's Bakery, it looks ghetto but don't let the looks fool you its the best! In the pic above I had gotten a banana brownie 2 snickers brownies a poke cake and 3 cookies all for $5! I felt guilty after eating my brownie though so they won't see my face anytime soon unless it's to get the kids doughnuts for breakfast lol

Park Time fun! Aubree clearly was having a blast on the swing and Ayden learned how to twirl his swing -_- lol  speaking of Ayden I went and showed him his elementary school he will be going to this year, the school is brand new and literally 4 min down the street from the house, it's a nice school and I've heard nothing but good things about it so I'm pretty excited, but nervous at the same time because it's the insane adults with guns we have to worry about now days.

Ayden's School :) saddest day of my life will be april 18th when I go register him :(

 

 

yum yum yum! Since my hubby has been home from deployment I've lost 6lbs and I'd like to keep it that way since I gained the 15 that I lost while he was gone lol so I went out and bought myself some snacks. Strawberries, bananas, yogurt, low fat onion dressing, kale (cant wait to make kale chips) grapes, fresh green beans and chocolate almond and coconut milk. SO YUMMY!

what is this you ask? oh just some YUM YUM SAUCE! lol I was so excited when I found this recipe on pinterst because I crave Japanese Steak House ALL the time! speaking of, I'm going on a date with my girls today to Osaka, pretty much the best steak house ever! I can't wait to see my ladies and eat some yummay food!

Just a little advice to you ladies, if you are going from bleach blonde to black DO NOT! use box dye GO TO A SALON because this is what will happen lol it looks like I have some high lights because the blonde is seeping through the black. it's ok though because I'm going back blonde pretty soon ^_^

Hubs and I went to dinner and the movies last night, your typical date but it was a blast in a glass :P
first we got drunk at dinner which makes any movie better lol we went to see Olympus Has Fallen and leme tell you that is  GREAT ass movie! It made me want to join the military or secret service and fuck up some Koreans! lol an as you can see sometimes the kid in us comes out just a tad bit! lol


On a much sadder note, the day steven was coming home from deployment my puppy (9month) great dane was eating and aubree pulled his face so he snaped and bit her face, a reconstructive plastic surgeion had to do over 20 stitches on her face, and sew her lip back together, luckily he was an AMAZING surgeon and you can hardly even see her scars. With that being said we decided to give megatron (the puppy) to the animal shelter because we didn't want to risk that happening again, even though ITHINK he didn't mean to actually hurt her he is just a BIG dog and I knew he was said because he was licking her afterward. Well it has been on my mind heavily lately I just HAD to see him or know how he was doing and so I went to the animal shelter so I could kiss his face and I didn't see him so I'm thinking he was adopted, so I ask the employees about him and their response was "he had a really bad heart murmer so he is no longer with us" my heart instantly dropped! I walked to the car and bawled my eyes out. My poor baby! He was such a good dog I just wish he could've had his last breath with his family :(

RIP my baby boy, mommy loves you and misses you! I know your having a blast in doggy heaven!




Well y'all time for me to go kill it in the gym then meet my girls for dinner :) Hope everyone has a great day! and I promise I won't ditch y'all for a week again. ALSO I've hit 1,400 views on my blog!

p.s. I keep forgetting to share my workouts but once I get a complete routine down I'll make sure I share them with you :)

goodbye Monday

oh hey Monday nice to see you ending!
normally I'm like ugh it's Monday my life is ending...
today I woke up like fuck yea bring it on lol for no reason I had sooo much energy! I was able to knock out some laundry clean the house ehh about 20 mil times -__- and I hit the gym twice today, talk about PAIN! funny thing is as I was doing squats the song "miss new booty" came on haha KEEP IT TIGHT! My strep throat is going away ABOUT DAMN TIME and I was able to get in more cardio today but I mainly focused on weight lifting. "friends don't let friends skip leg day" I basically made my legs noodles today with all of the different squats and lunges I did plus the hip abductor machines, but It's a rewarding pain to wake up to knowing you beasted in the gym, makes you wake up saying HELL YEAH! well.. at least I do, then I crippled walk the whole day bahaha So I'm pretty certain everyone in the gym thinks I've got issues because when I work out I "do it right" and in the end I'm drenched in sweat and my face is as red as a baboon's ass cheeks! I had someone stare at me when I was resting after my workout I had sweat dripping from my face into my eyes onto my shirt etc. and I just giggled at them thinking in my head "you wish you looked as gross as me right now cuz then maybe you'd see results" i'm mean I know I know but I hate when people stare at me, omg and when they follow me! two girls today at the gym literally followed me from the treadmill to the elliptical to the free weights to the leg machines to the ab machines then back to the treadmill, creeeeperrrss!

Well other than my workout sesh I managed to take the kids to the lake yesterday! It was such a beautiful day 72 degrees sun shining and a nice breeze, WAY TO STEP IT UP OHIO! They boys fed the ducks, skipped rocks and Aubree guarded her "big rock" basically the whole time then beat the shit out of me when I tried to get her off lmao! oh and her new favorite word Is HAPPY! so the ducks were happy the water was happy the rocks were happy, basically everything was happy! lol

 

Today I gathered up a team for the "dirty girl mud run" in Columbus june 1st! Who doesn't want to jump in mud with your friends then be rewarded with alcohol in the end?! oh and it's all girls so you don't have to worry about pervs raping you with their eyes lol (reason I go to an all women's gym) so this means I have 2 runs coming up june and july! I'm in the process of searching for more to do but it all depends on when the husby leaves for ocs. I know I won't be bikini ready or chancey's version of bikini ready this summer but I WILL be by next summer so I know these runs will be beneficial. I've also been tanning because casper white is so not attractive lol luckily I tan pretty quickly so I wont have to go often and worry about looking like that tan mom that got banned from tanning bahah

workout and tan baybeee

So I really want to have my hair dyed RED but I'm having a hard time warming my husband up to that idea lol so instead I might just do a red ombre and have red ends still very cute! I also need a haircut because having your hair tickle the middle of your ass crack because it's THAT long is not ok lol

 

Well I guess enough of me rambling I'm going to crawl (literally) to my bed now. LORD JESUS HELP ME!

 

Sunday Funday Yall!

Happy Sunday y'all!!

I woke up yesterday with dun dun dunnnnnn strep throat! -_- It sucks not being able to kiss my babies and my husband so we've been cheeking it lol we just squish our cheeks on each others, my daughter thinks it's the best thing in the world lol!

So yesterday I went to visit my husband at work, he works a gate, and went to get him lunch, he ended up buying the kids and I lunch and putting gas in my car (little things make me happy lol) when he gets home I'm back in the room doing laundry and he yells "hey can you help me carry my stuff in" so I go to the door and he hands me this..

 

SOOOO sweet right? I told y'all in a previous post we had marital problems throughout this previous deployment, well we have been doing amazing lately, we seriously couldn't be any happier! In a couple of months we will be hitting our 5 year anniversary! whooo hooo!!

 

Remember how I told you all my husband was going officer in the army? Well the recruiter had a problem with something in his medical file so we were a little worried thinking he wouldn't be cleared to go but the big man above was looking our for my husband because HE WAS CLEARED! yippee! I'm so proud of my husband for coming as far as he has. Up next is the board then we find out when he leaves for Army boot camp then OCS. I promise to you going officer isn't as easy as everyone thinks, no you don't just need a bachelor's degree, you need to be physically and mentally healthy ONTOP of the bachelor's degree lol. The fact that my husband is bald, black and looks intimidating is a plus for him too bahaha It's funny the things they look when people are trying to become officers.

 

Even though I felt like complete death yesterday I still managed to get up and get all dolled up for my love, I mean what man doesn't want to come home to a woman who takes care of herself? :P

 

For those of you wondering, cuz I get these questions all the time, I used a 1 inch barrel curling iron, I used the wand method where I wrap my hair around the iron then after doing tight curls I took my brush and brushed them out a little bit to make them thicker, fuller and to give my hair volume, then flip your head upside down and shake your fingers through your hair a bit and you're good to go :)

 

Even though I'm feeling like complete shit today I make NO excuses and will still hit the gym as hard as I always do, but before I go kill my self in the gym I want to leave you guys with my husband's Facebook status today, I woke up to this and it totally made my day lol

 

"S/N how are you going to show someone how marriage is suppose to be when you barely been married 2 years..? One non combat deployment for 6 mos? I give credit where it's due.. This last one wasn't the best but my wife held it down on a 8 month deployment to afghan with a 1 year old and new born.. Shake the haters babe Chancey Jo Rookwood"

Fridayyy!

ok blog fans, as I promised, I'm going to post your questions along with my answer. I'll do the first 2 questions I got to start off this post :)

question: What was the hardest part about deployment?
answer: Honestly guys deployment in general is hard. Having to adapt without your spouse, especially with having kids, learning to do things alone can get pretty hectic, always worrying about your spouse if they are ok, what is happening etc.
question: What advice can you give to spouse's with a deployed loved one?
answer: fighting is a no no, trust me I've been there done that. You want to make sure you keep your deployed spouse happy at all times it makes things so much easier for them and you. LETTERS, I know there is so much technology that can be used such as Skype, facetime, imessage, etc but letters are a little more personal and fun! I know when I would receive a letter from my husband it would put a smile on my face so why not eh? care packages are a nice touch as well even if they don't need anything, it just shows them you're thinking of them. Most definitely stay strong, stay busy and keep faith. I could go on and on with this answer but I'll leave it at that lol


Ladies! I found something on pinterest where you unscrew the clip on your curling iron and take it off so you can use it as a "curling wand" and leme tell you that is THE only way I'll be curling my hair from now on! It turned out so freaking cute, it doesn't leave a dent on the ends of your hair AND my hair held the curl ALL day without hairspray!

    CUTE RIGHT?!

 

So today was such a nice day I broke out my shorts! can I get a hell yeah!

my skull shirt is pretty awesome

 

Since it was so nice out I played with the babies out in the yard pretty much ALL day! We had a blast, but while I was out in the backyard with them I was doing a little renovating in my head lol I wanted to build or have built a wooden deck but my husband wants a concrete slab and he also wants to put a separate concrete slab to build the kids a little basketball court :) so exciting! so I got a piece of paper and started drawing out how I wanted it to look lol yeah I know I get a little carried away but what can I say it's OUR house we OWN it so we can do whatever we want and that makes me excited a tad bit lol I also started digging up dirt in the garden so when the time is right I'll only have to put soil in and our fruits and veggies. I can't wait to show y'all pictures of my masterpiece of a garden lol OH AND our in ground fire pit, I swear that's all the boys talk about is roasting marshmallows and making a huge fire haha typical boys. I'm just so ready for warm(er) weather, cookouts, cornhole, and friends :)

 

I've been hitting the gym consistently now, 5 days a week, I basically lift weights (back, biceps, triceps, chest ,legs) and each has their own specific day lol run 3 miles do 1-2 miles on the elliptical and to end the day I top it off with tanning. I have a 5k (color run) coming up in couple months and I want to be able to run straight through NO walking, my legs I'm sure hate me because all I've been doing is running running and more running. I've also REtrained my body back to the way it was when I lost 15lbs (during husbands deployment) I basically just eat health and drink more water, It's hard because I LOVE dr pepper and sweets but I find once I cut those out of my diet I eventually don't even think of or want them and when I do eat or drink it I instantly feel sick. My husband and I have a little routine going on, while he is at work I do my motherly and wifey duties clean cook etc then around 430 after picking the boys up from school I hit the gym since my gym has daycare (premier ladies fitness.. all girls gym heck yes) and I end up getting home about 1 hour before him because he works 4am-6:30pm then goes straight to the gym, so I get home and make dinner by then he is home kids are fed he gives them a bath puts them to bed then we have dinner together lol sounds pretty hectic but it's easy for us and we love it, routine and structure is key! lol

 

well I guess I can leave y'all with a "crazy hair day" pic of my daughter lol curly ass mess!

 

 

goodnight folks!

 

 



While I Was Away...

Hey yall!
So I know It's been a few days maybe a week since I've last updated my blog but I have valid reasoning behind it. I recently found out my grandma (dads mom) has bleeding in her brain, some type of seepage and she has been hospitalized and isn't doing too well, so I would greatly appreciate it if you all could send prayers her way, god always answers to knee-mail so drop down to your knees and get your prayer on! It was devastating talking to my grandpa on the phone and listening to him break down and cry telling me that though him and grandma won't be around long he wants us to know how much they love us :( my heart broke for them. Knowing my grandma she is a trooper and will god willingly pull through this! either way I know the big man above will take great care of my grandma.

On a brighter note, I hope you all had an amazing easter! I'm pretty sure I gained a few pounds just from easter dinner! lol

The morning of easter I made a "bunny footprint" in the kitchen floor with flour and lets just say it looked like "big foot's footprint" haha BUT the kids bought it and was totally excited about it!

 

Other than that I've just been hanging out with my pretty amazing family :) My husband started work back already, booooo! but being a cop has it's perks because he works 3 days then gets 3 days off. Since he has been home I'm pretty sure we have rented 20 + movies lol the kids and I have enjoyed every minute of it though.

 

Ohio has finally decided to not be a douchelord and warm up a tad bit so we've been enjoying the weather and taking advantage of the park. We took the kids to a park the other day and I have to admit, it was fun being a kid with my kids lol I think my husband would agree, try not to laugh too hard at this picture I'm about to show you. He decided he would show the kids how high he can swing then do a backflip off of the swing and well Ill let you see the pic to know the end results...

bhahahaha EPIC FAIL!

 

It was SO hilarious! I took a video and everything I couldn't stop laughing at him I almost pissed my pants! Of course with his ego he decides to do it again and lucky him he landed it lol or else that video would've went viral! lmao! The kids got a kick out of it also. Aubree LOVED going down the BIG slides she giggled all the way down and kept demanding to go over and over and over again! cutest thing ever! for such a girly girl she is a daredevil!

 

OH HEY! I finally finished painting hubby and I's bedroom! let me tell ya, chevron print on a wall isn't as easy as it freaking looks! We didn't go to bed til 5am BUT it was so worth it I'm totally in love with how it turned out! All we have left is to get my vanity, and some acua colored accents for the room.

AMAZEBALLS RIGHT?!

 

I'll show yall a picture of aubrees walls too, we aren't finished redoing her room she is getting new bedding etc. and also in the pictures you can't tell how sparkly her walls are but in person it looks like a fairy shit all over her walls with all the glitter LOL It's really cute though I love it and I wish it was my room lol.

The picture makes her room look tiny but it's not at all. so cute and PINK!

 

Other than all the painting and movie watching hubby and I had a date night and we went to a place called "Scene 75" It's like a dave and busters I guess but it was SOOO fun! we got drunk, ate some bomb ass wings and played tons of games! my favs were the go carts only because I wont first place AND I bumped my husband's go cart and his wheel totally flew off hahahaha I also loved the 4D roller coaster ride, just some advice boobs or no boobs shit hurts! it bounces you around and my little nini's going crazy! haha strap them puppies DOWN! My all time fav though was Laser Tag. It was mine and my husband's first time ever playing and we had a freaking blast! We beasted the game might I add! One of the rules in laser tag is no cussing and I def broke that rule a gazillion times because I kept getting scared hahaha!

 

 Overall it was an amazing date, much better than "clubbing" or a typical dinner and movie date, next up is ZIP LINING!! wahhhhh!!
