Catching up....

SO i have been painting my house for about a week,and spring cleaning closets and donating my old big clothes.I have lost about 15-18 pounds and i am SOOO happy.I stuck too my Zumba workout,but i think i pushed it cause i might have hurt myself to where i had to quit for a month.I am on the hunt for another workout,maybe Brazilian Butt lift??? we will see,i got a check up in about a month.

With spring cleaning,cutting the grass and just CLEANING i have been BUSY.

Alex has been doing so well in school and improving everyday,she is reading,writing short stories,her math is VERY amazing for a kindergarten child.So she got awarded for her good efforts,and got an EAGLE award(Eagerly*Achieving*Grade*Level*Excellence) it is the highest award to get in the class.We were sooo proud of her!

Alexandra and Miss Hazi

Jon and I attended Field Day which is where the kids compete against other classes.It was so much fun! and we even ate with her.Other than that we have been super busy.

Daddy has been trying to spend more time with the Kids,they do grow up fast,and his work does take him away from us...It would have been harder if he was away over seas somewhere,we are thankful that we do get too see him everyday...or night.When he does go away for military training,even if it is for just 2 weeks,it kills us....Alex has become dependent on her Daddy,when he has a day off or a weekend off she asks her Daddy to go out to eat or go to the store.I just sit there and think how hard it was for Jon to0 get out of active duty,it was something that he loved doing,but reserves for now it's ok for us,and that's what i mean by he made the decision to get out to be here and not miss 6 months...or a year away from them.I am a strong person,but i tip my hat for those army active duty wives that have too do that.I dislike the fact that some people think they know how hard or easy an army wife or husband have it.You only know what you see on TV or what you read...the heartache that they go though...it's real and they do not have it easy...life is not handed to them...they earn all this.GI bills?they are earned not just handed to them.I am not about too get into this argument,like i said, I respect the men and women fighting for our freedom out there that have too be away from their families.I support our Troops.

ANYWAYS....

Joshua is growing like a weed,that child will be a football player...one thing i am having a problem letting go of the fact that he is growing up and he is not a baby anymore,i need too let him grow,but i have caught myself babying him more than ever...because he is my last baby...but i am done having any more kids,by choice yes...i love kids,but with this economy being "obamafied" it would be selfish for me too have 2 more like i planned.

Easter this year was done differently...I know we have taught our kids about the Easter bunny and jelly beans and chocolate.This year i explained to Alex what Easter is really about...she did not really grasp it but to a point she knew that Eater was not JUST about bunnies and candy.They got their Baskets a day before Easter Day so they got too play with their stuff a whole day.The next day (Easter day) we went to Mi Casitas and met the family there for a nice dinner,we then went too Aunt Jerrie's house for some yummy desserts.Came home and played with bubbles and chalk!

Baby Bear got her own basket too

Easter Day

Alex caught a Caterpillar(don't worry she then let it go)

We thank God everyday for all the blessings in our lives,everything happens for a reason and we make our choices,weather they are good or not...just don't go blaming the next person too make yourself feel better...treat yourself good by staying away from drama,hostility and hatred,you only live once...make it worth it!

I have been SO busy,i have not even written ONE entry.New Years was AMAZING,sat at home with My babies and Jon...cleaned the house.New Years Day the whole family went to Mi Casitas and then a surprise Party For our Aunt Gigi.



We also celebrated Jordan's 5th Birthday and i don't think he was too thrilled...who can blame the lil guy,neither am I when i turn another year.Kids had loads of fun hanging out and driving Jordan's Ford Truck :).




The same night i was SO excited girls night with Aunt Lori and My cousin Taylor,to Club Barcelona(VERY nice BTW) we were there too meet VINNY! from Jersey Shore...I felt like a lil girl going to meet Justin Beiber...LOL! But we had loads of fun.I have not worn pumps since 2005 so my feet KILLED ME,but it was sooo worth it!



I also have been going my Zumba work out because my Doctor gave me the OK to work out and diet,i have had a VERY hard recovery due to my c-section,i couldn't really exercise cause i would feel a burning sensation...I was a bad patient and vacuumed right after Jon went back too work...was not supposed too,but if you have OCD like me,you would have not waited either.In other words i did too much and popped 2 stitches.OUCH!I am glad i am better.Zumba is AWESOME and i recommend it!so much fun!





Alex has been doing sooo good in school,that i hated her missing one day last week and two days this week,she has been sick and so has my lil buddy Joshua <3...Took them to see the Doctor,thought they had pneumonia or bronchitis,so we had a trip to Carolina Imaging to get x rays.I got a call this Morning and they said both of the kids' lungs were clear....YEA! but they were getting a prescription for antibiotics,which has too be taken for 5 days...fingers crossed this crap goes AWAY! cause Me and the Honey aren't doing to well.I have not stopped with my work outs either this is Day 15 and i feel GREAT!(i mean still sick,but i feel good!)




Alex received her report card this past Friday and she made all 3 and satisfactory which means AWESOME! I am one proud mommie!But i am off too do some laundry and watch some shows <3

Life can be Hard...but it's what YOU make it...

I am 28yrs old...and i have gone through a lot, from family drama through heartbreaks, and both combined sometimes. I have too say that I am at a happy place right now....I have a loving caring Husband and 2 wonderful Angels in my life, we have been blessed! But i look at the years as they go by (fast by the way) and i see my kids growing fast,they get smarter too.I see how Family can get closer or distant and how Jon and I have had our share of ups and downs, life is a roller coaster...but we have stuck though it all.

I have learned that everyone in your life weather they are there now or absent, they teach you something bad or good,but the choices we make in life should never be considered a mistake...they are all Lessons.We learn to be a better person from every single choice or experience.There is always that person that would LOVE too see you down in the dumps and keep kicking you...but remember you are your own person and you decide if you want too keep getting kicked while your down,or get up and ignore that Bully.I know people personally that still try too keep "bullying" and they live off it...I know that sounds dumb too some of you but i know a couple of you can relate.I try too keep away from the negativity...My personality is mild tempered,i am way too nice to everyone,and i do take many things too serious and to heart,and those people that know this just like too keep jabbing.

You know like in school you have the nice,want to be friends with everyone type of people and the mean girls. It's funny how life is JUST like that...yes we still live in that era,we don't EVER leave that "drama".Why can't everyone just get along and if you can't why don't you (talking to the Bullys) leave people alone,why do you choose to be miserable? unhappy? and unkind? Take a look in the mirror...talk to yourself like you talk to others,see if you like putting yourself down...is it worth it?

Being judgmental is the worse thing you can do...how people are dressed,what brands they wear,because they aren't thin enough,what house they live in,how much money they earn. SERIOUSLY?!?!? how shallow and ugly can you be? there a saying that says..."the uglier you are,the uglier your heart is and it comes out on your face" and i know a lot of those people PERSONALLY...I feel bad for them and all i can say is God Bless your Heart.There is a song by Miranda Lambert "Only Prettier" read it one day...you bully's might learn something or "Mean" by Taylor Swift, I can relate to that song a lot.

So i guess this "ranting" as some of you may call it,is about being a mean,hateful and UN thankful person,i think a lot people need too look in their hearts and realize what they are truly doing,because it will catch up to you.May God Bless all your hearts,mean or not.Why you gotta be so mean?
