Happy Birthday Bebe

Sunday morning I worked out at the gym for awhile and came home to be lazy with the family!!!  The girls watched some You Tube shows of weird hands opening things and random kid made movies!  They love them!

We signed Kenzie up for tball and it should be starting pretty soon!  I got her a little glove and ball and her Scotty worked on catching and throwing!  She did pretty good!  I'm pretty sure she is going to be our all around athletic child and Madi will be the more prissy, sassy, dancing, cheer child!

Playing ball of course turned into wrestling!

That night we met for dinner to celebrate Bebe's birthday!!!  She is so special to me and I love celebrating her!!  A few of her friends came too and we had dinner and drinks and laughs!

Kenzie wrote "Happy Birthday Bebe, I love you" on the table and did an excellent job!  Her handwriting is really improving!  She is always writing and doodling pictures!

I hope she knows how special she is to me and my little family!  We would be lost without her!  I hope your day was super special Madre!  We love you!!

Date night

Thursday morning I brought CJ home with me again to play!  They were wound up and crazy!  We wrestled and had a pillow fight!!

I love getting pictures of Kenzie while she's at school.  Their class had a snowball fight and apparently she won and got a prize!

That night at dinner Kenzie fell through the chair and got stuck!  I stopped laughing long enough to snap a picture and then unwedged her!

Friday I brought the girls with me to the gym!  This is the first time in a while that I made it all 5 days during the week!  After working out we went to lunch with my friend Whitney and her daughters that are same age as the girls!  It was fun, and crazy!

Scotty got off early that night and Bebe came over to watch the girls so we could have a date night!

We went to dinner at Gloria's and then went and saw a movie!  The girls built a tent with Bebe and camped out in Kenzie's room!

They ended up ditching the tent part but the girls were asleep on a pallet and Bebe asleep in Kenzie's bed when we got home!!  Today we ran some errands with Bebe and drove around Rowlett where the tornado hit!  It gave me goosebumps to see the devastation!  It's awful!  I donated a few things a few weeks ago to my friends work that was helping, but I wish I could adopt a family or someone and help them more directly!  Just feel "guilty" seeing what their lives have been turned into while I go about my normal day!  Gotta do something to help!!!

Words on a Wednesday

Monday morning I had my first "team training" at the gym!  It was really good and I worked really hard!!  Kenzie had gymnastics later that afternoon and she did such a good job!  Madison stood at the window and watched her sissy the whole time!  

We came home and spent the rest of the evening playing with a new bowling set I got the girls!  Madison wouldn't even let Kenzie finish setting them up before she threw the ball and knocked them over and would make her so mad!!

Tuesday Kenzie finally went back to school!  She was so excited!  I went and worked out and brought home my trainers little boy to play with Madi for a bit while she studied!  

Madison was mostly interested in hugging and kissing on him!  Poor CJ didn't know how to take it!

Kenzie had a dentist appointment after school!  She did awesome and her teeth looked great!  Her dentist did say she all kinds of cross bites and over bites and a narrow palate!  I see lots of money being invested in her mouth!

Madison was a monster while we were there!  I scheduled her first appointment and that should be interesting!  We met Scotty for dinner afterwards at Chilis!  Those girls were beyond crazy and I pretty much ate my anxiety away!  I was not happy with myself when I got home!  O-well, you win some and you lose some!!  This morning I went to the gym and had planned on doing some treadmill cardio and was instead talked into doing a chisel class!  I'm so glad I did!  Then I had talked myself out of doing group training and went to the sauna and my trainer busted in and drug me out!  I'm so glad I was "forced" to do both classes today!  I felt so much better when I was done!  I had a hair appointment with Laura afterwards and brought Kenzie with me to play with Bella!

I thought I wanted some bangs after seeing a blog friend get some!  So....I got some and I'm not sure I love them!

I'll play around with them before I decide I hate them!  They'll grow back out!!  When I got home I was exhausted!  I sat back and watched the girls play for awhile!

Scotty had to go in for work for a bit so the girls and I hung out called it a night!  

Weekend wrap up

Friday was spent inside and in our jammie's all day!  I stayed home with the girls instead of taking them to the kid room at the gym!  I think they are just about over this junk!  We played lots of games. Their favorites right now are Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland 

Saturday I was able to go to the gym before Scotty went to work!  I worked out my upper body really good and did some cardio!  I decided to bite the bullet and sign up for team training!  It's a group of 5-6 girls with a trainer working out!  I have wanted to join since I first signed up but didn't want to spend the money!  I'm so excited for my first class on Monday!  Later that afternoon we had Christmas with my brother and his family!  He is dating my friend Leslie, who has twin girls, and they all came over too!  

We had a great time and the kids all played together really well!  Before they came over we had a little incident with Madi in her bed!  She was supposed to be napping but I heard her crying hysterically!  I went in and her leg was stuck between the slats in the crib!  She had stood up on her bumper and was trying to crawl out and her leg slipped through!  I tried to pry the slats apart and Kenzie would push on her knee but it was hurting her worse!  So I punched it and broke her bed and saved my baby!  I was in full on mommy panic mode and did the first "logical" thing that came to mind!  So then we had to take apart her bed and turn it into a toddler bed!  

I wasn't ready for this at all!  Kenzie never tried to crawl out of her bed!  Heck she would probably still sleep in a crib if she had one!  Madison is something else I swear!  We had already arranged for a sitter to come over while Scotty and I went out with some friends!  I was nervous how she would do in her bed for the first time!  Sarah sent me a picture when she laid her down!

Scotty and I went out with our friends Jeff and Datha for dinner and drinks!  We had a great time and it was much needed!

When we got home, Madi had just woken up and was watching cartoons with Sarah!  She ended up spending the rest of the night cuddling with me!  O-well!  This morning we slept in and made a big breakfast!  I did not feel like going to the gym at all!  A few too many margaritas last night!  Kenzie and I met up with my mom and did some shopping after lunch!  We spent the rest of the day napping, playing games, grilling out hamburgers and renting a movie before bed!

Taking it easy

Last night continued the trend of coughing until throwing up, this time it was Kenzie!  After a sheet change she came to bed with us and wasn't tired in the least!  I put her show on and went to bed!  She was up bright and early, like 6 am bright and early.  I went to the gym and did a "butts and guts" class that kicked my butt!  My legs were so shaky when I left that I fell down the stairs outside the gym!  I have big bruises coming up on my left arm and leg! Ouch! I came home and lysol'd their playroom and anything else I could spray!  The girls and I hung around the house and were lazy!  I decided to keep Kenzie home from school since she was still coughing so much!

Kenzie got a fish and named him "Oreo". He is a clear beta and we got his tank all set up today!

When Madi woke up from her nap we headed to the mall to pick up my wedding ring!  Scotty got me a band for Christmas and the jeweler has had it putting it together!

I LOVE it!  Since we were in Mesquite we stopped by Bebe and Papa's house to visit!  The girls got to fly Papa's new toy with him!

We stayed and ate dinner and played for a bit and headed back home!  The girls seem to be feeling better tonight and are both asleep in their own beds! I'm looking forward to a childless bed and a full nights rest tonight!!!

Sickies

Sunday I had a fun day out with the girls!  A bunch of us met up to see a movie!  It was so funny!  Afterwards we went and had some drinks and dinner!  We laughed so much! I only knew two of the girls and it was so nice to meet new moms and hang out!

I worked out that morning and so I felt guilty the whole time we were having drinks and dinner!  These are the times dieting and making good decisions are hard!  I allowed myself to have a good time and indulge and vowed to be good the next day!  I started to feel a little icky towards the end and was happy to come home and pass out!  I was up bright and early for my Monday morning class!  It's a chisel class and the teacher whoops my butt every time!  A bunch of us sat in the sauna for about 30 minutes!  One of my favorite times of the days!

This group of girls, plus 2 not there that day, make my mornings so much fun!  We all have kids the same age and have so much fun talking in the sauna post work outs!  I am loving my new Polar watch Scotty got me for Christmas!  It's nice seeing how many calories I burn during a workout!

Typically I am burning around 1000'ish calories at the gym!  After my shower I will put it back on and see what I burn for the day!  It's been pretty consistent around 3500 for the day!  That also helps me in eating right!  If I can keep my intake calories under my outgoing calories--THATS WEIGHT LOSS BABY!!

Madison wasn't feel good later on in the day! By bedtime she was super clingy and was crying from her bed "mommy hold me, mommmmmy".  It was pretty sad so I got her and we cuddled for the night!!  Tuesday morning I decided to bring her to the doctor!  She had run a low grade fever and was up all night tossing and turning!  She did awesome with the doctor and of course it was just viral and she looked perfect!!  We came home and played and rested!  I still got my workout in when Scotty got home!  It didn't have the same feel as when I go in the morning, but it got the job done! Bedtime rolled around and she was coughing up a storm!  I brought her to bed with me again and she coughed so hard she threw up!  It was so sad!  It was a LONG night or tossing and turning mixed in with coughing and gagging!  I started breathing treatments on her and sister joined in on them today!

When Kenzie got up this morning she came in our room and got Madi and took her in the playroom to play!  Scotty and I got to sleep for an hour before we finally got up for the day!  Makenzie scored major points for that!  I missed my workout this morning, which is one of my favorites, but made it to the gym during madi's nap!  I spent the rest of the day doing treatments with the girls, keeping track of their medicines and trying to clean a little!  Hoping for a good nights sleep for all of us tonight!!
