Ok, I'll take 5 more peeps later, Ty is waking up!

Birthday Weekend

First, I want to say thanks for your comments, texts and emails about my crappy birthday!! U guys are too sweet! I deleted that post as I don't want my kids reading it when they are older. I was pretty upset with Rob all weekend long. He did try to make things right by getting me flowers, cookie cake and plan a date but I totally dissed all his attempts at making things right! You see, I'm always doing things for other peeps especially on their birthday so when he didn't do the same for me, I was heart broken. After a long talk last night, I think he finally gets why i was so upset! Anyway, he better surprise me big time on Valentines day; I'm thinking dinner to Chic Fil A or something like that!! Ha! Sandi, mom and I had plans to go shopping on Saturday! We had a great time and we had yummy Mexican food for lunch! I took a few pics of my birthday goodies! Fun! Thanks to mom, sandi, heather and Amanda for such fab gifts!!!! Oh, the 100 bucks Rob gave me, I put into savings account!!!! I'm so impressed w myself!!! Happy Monday!

My Little Hunter

Nate went hunting with his Uncle Chris this past weekend. My boy brought home a doe and his first buck! He's been talking about it non stop the past few days! He is on cloud 9!!! Momma is happy because we have deer meat for the year!! Woohoo!!!!

Where I've Been

I wish I could say that we've been on vacay or something exciting like that but nope, just hanging out! Playing some baseball and basketball, Nate shot two deer this past weekend, playing outside, enjoying life. Rob and I did have a night to ourselves on Friday and it was fab! Thanks mom and Sandi!!! I've also been trying to eat better, see above pics. Who knew that healthy, low calorie food could taste so yummy!!!!

I love these munchkins, presh!!!!I have a full time job opportunity that I'm really praying about. I pray that everything turns out the way it is supposed to for my family.

A Little Change

Isn't Nate's birthday cake the cutest thing ever!!!!!! And I only paid $40...woohoo!!!!!
Nate really didn't have a party this year. He just had a few of his baseball friends over after school on Friday. 3 boys plus Nate...EASY!! They played ball and ate cake and pizza...nice!!I never really do New Year Resolutions because I always fail miserably. This year, I really just want to be healthier. I've decided to make a lifestyle change. I've been eating less processed foods and more fresh and healthy foods. I also cut back on the calories I've been eating. I use the My Fitness Pal app on my Iphone to keep me in line. So far, so good! And i don't feel like I'm starving either. I'm trying to make my kids eat better too. I found these Energy Balls on Pinterest...so yummy and pretty healthy. I tweaked the recipe a little bit and they are yummy!!!!!!

1 cup oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1tsp vanilla

U can use unsweetened coconut and almond butter instead of pb. Mix all ingredients together. Let chill in fridge for about an hour. Roll into balls. ENJOY!!

I also had a full physical done last week. Blood work, EKG....the works. I'm about to be 36 and haven't had one since hs so i thought it was time. I have started to see the signs of aging(never thought that day would come as i've always looked younger than I really am. Or at least, that's what peeps have told me)...boohoo!!! I just wanted to stay on top of my health. Anyway, here's to a healthy 2012!!!

Oh, I discovered that I really like oatmeal!!!!! CRAZY!!!!

Happy Birthday Nate

Nate's two favorite things to do are to play sports and go hunting. I asked him what he wanted to take to school as treats for his birthday and of course, he said, "buck deer cupcakes." Aren't they cute!!!
My big bad 8 year old and his daddy this morning!!!!!! Nate didn't open presents this morning,we decided to do it after school.

These two little munchkins have been talking about presents all day long. Begging me to get them a present too. Ty was not happy when I kept telling him that he WAS NOT getting a present, that it wasn't his birthday! I mean, major meltdown!!!!!

All Nate wanted for his birhtday was a nerf gun

and a watch. EASY!!! He's also going to get basketball shoes tonight. We are also going to dinner. His restaurant of choice is Logan's...yummy!!! Only thing is, I'm doing WW again and not sure of what to eat. I've been doing so good and I don't want to ruin it by going out to eat.

Getting a little lovin from my big boy!!

I can't believe it has been 8 years since Nate was born. Crazy how time flies. LOVELOVELOVE my big boy!!!!!

On another note, great start of 2012. We spent New Years out at the deer lease hunting, making smores, BBQing, riding 4 wheelers, relaxing!! It was so nice!!!
