Changes

It has been awhile since I updated this it seems. I guess I have been on Facebook too much lately and not on here, but I realize there are others not on FB that would like an update too.

Jason and I have taken a vow to change our lifestyle and commit to healthy habits for our body and minds this year...and from then on. I am in a contest with my sister-in-law where we are competing to lose the most body fat percentage of weight. There are about 100 people in the competition. I am doing really well so far for myself (not in the competition...but that is alright). I am thrilled to say I am down 14lbs and Jason is down 10. We are committed to exercising, eating the right foods, and showing our kids how to eat right too. It will be a long road, but one I am more than willing to go down. I have finally learned that I deserve to be happy and healthy. I am worth it!

The kids are good. Madelyn just went in for her 2 month check up today, but she is 3 months old (yes, a little late). She was in the 99th percentile for height and weight. We always have been blessed with such healthy babies! I am so thankful for that! She is smiling a lot now and trying to pull up. Crazy baby doesn't need to grow up yet! Mercedes is so much fun right now. She just brings me so much joy! She has such a spunky, fun-loving personality! She is so sweet, but yet can be such a little monster all at the same time. I am loving watching her grow. Madison is going through a strong-willed phase right now. It is hard seeing what used to be this sweet, obedient child that now can turn so rebellious. We are taking baby steps and trying to teach her to make the right choices though. Harley is enjoying basketball. He is gone nearly every night till 7pm and still loves it! Ben is preparing to go Basic Training. He will be heading out within the next few weeks. He has had some delays already, but we feel pretty confident it will be by mid February. Jason is about to start back with school online. He has about 2.5 years left so he is anxiously trying to get done! We all can't wait for that.

Well, I need to go watch my Biggest Loser show. Have a great night!
