Summer Recap

Holy cow! I am the worst blogger ever! Well now that summer is over I thought I would post some pictures. First off I finally graduated=) Whoot whoot! Halle freakin' lujah! Glad that's over. After graduation we decided to go celebrate in Disneyland. The happiest place on earth right? Well with a then 18 month old lil boy not so much. There was one day that he would not stop screaming/ throwing a tatrum and I just lost it and started balling because everyone was giving us dirty looks. Finally one mom came up to me and told me that it's okay that they all have their bad days. It was a tough trip but fun at the same time. I wish we could just go back and redo it though. Also I learned that I will not judge parents who leave their kids at home to go to Disneyland=) I understand!!!!! Just invite us please! Anyways here are some pictures of our trip.

 Wrapped some disney themed toys to keep McCoy entertained for the long drive.

 McCoy loved toon town!

 He first grabbed Mickey's nose and wouldn't let go. He was soo cute with all the characters!

 Buzzlighter Ride with Nana

 Had to ride dumbo as a family of coarse!

 It was goth day on one of the days so decided it would be best to go sight seeing in LA. Hollywood sign is behind us.

 Loves Toy Story

 We took McCoy on every ride that he could possibly ride! He loved them!

 Our favorite! We can't watch Cars without thinking about this place. It looks exactly like the movie!

 McCoy loves his Daddy!

 Highlight for McCoy was meeting the real McQueen and Mater!

 Big thanks to  my mom for making this trip possible!

 Watching the parade

We didn't want to leave=(

McCoy has an announcement.... 

 18 weeks

We are having another boy!!!! I can't believe it! I thought for sure it was a girl.... oh well! Well now we hardly have to buy anything but diapers for this lil dude. I just hope he isn't as wild as McCoy or I will have tons of wrinkles and lots of gray hair by the time I'm 30! His profile looks just like McCoys though and we are so excited to meet him. The pregnancy has been really hard on everyone. Ha ha. At 13 weeks I thought I was having a miscarriage because I woke up in the middle of the night with blood all over. We went to the ER and they checked me all out... long story short the doctors thought I had a kidney infection. But he is a very healthy boy=) I haven't had much of an appetite though except lately I can't get enough sweets! I just hope I don't gain as much weight with this babe as I did with McCoy (we won't go there).

I HATE Jumping Jacks!!!

Where to even start... This post is more of a truth post.
In high school I was fit because I had drill team practice everyday and a swimming pool that kept me on my toes. I went to college and lost a lot of weight due to fact that I didn't eat alot since I didn't have a personal chef, aka my mom, and I also had ulcers that hospitalized me because I couldn't eat or drink for a week. Then I got married and stayed the same weight. But then we decided to try for our sweet baby boy :)
***side note*** I don't want this to sound like a would rather have my prebaby bod. I love McCoy so much and it's a miracle that he is even here!!!

Okay so I gained quite a bit of weight. I didn't eat hardly any sweets but that pregnancy made me super tired and all I wanted to do was lay down. So I'll admit I didn't stay active like I should have.
I had McCoy during school so working out wasn't really a top priority. I was a full time student and a full time mom. And when I had some down time to myself it was used towards sleeping, cleaning, cooking, and homework.

But now that I'm officially done with school, can I get an amen?! I can focus more on me. Yippee!!! So here's the deal y'all... In the mornings I usually just do some floor exercises like free weights and crunches and turbo jam or sometimes I'll get on the elliptical for 10-15 mins. I will eat a healthy breakfast like eggs, smoothie, or yogurt with granola. http://shrinkingjeans.net/category/move-it/monthly-workout-calendar/ here is a link for the march calendar (see pic below)

Lunch is usually salad time with some chicken for protein or tuna with crackers.

Dinner is nothing too special but try to only take one serving.

Than Blake and I have been doing Jillian micheals, the lady from the biggest loser show, 30 day shred! Wow wee! That as kicked our butt! When we fist started i could barely do a push up now i can do more than 10 in a row! And i forgot how much i hated jumping jacks! i have to wear 2 sports bras in order to do them. But we are down 6 days and I can already tell a huge difference. My muffin top has shrunk and my arms are more sculpted. There was no my in hell I was going to take a before picture but maybe I will take an after picture ;) I haven't gotten on the scale yet but when I'm finished ill let ya know how much weight I lost.

Now after these 30 days we plan on starting insanity. Hopefully we can do it!

These pictures go in order... According to my body size.

Also has anyone heard of the new miracle fat burning pill called raspberry keytone? If so what do you know/think about it?


My next post won't be so depressing!


Ps don't know why my pics are half cut off.... Gerry

Happy Valentine's Day

It's that time of year again! Happy V Day everyone! Make sure you tell your special someone how much you love them! And don't forget about your momma!

I don't know what I'd do without Blake. If something ever happened to him my world would fall apart and I would be so lost. He takes such good care of me, McCoy, and my mom.

Tonight's dinner is prime rib and lobster tails! And for dessert homemade Chilis copy cat Molten Lave Cake=)


Here's McCoy Valentines photo shoot pictures.

Surprise!

So George Strait announced that he will be doing a last and final tour. The tickets went on sale before Christmas and I didn't think anything of it. Well 2 days before the concert I decided that Blake has been so good to me and our family and really deserves something special. So I bought the tickets! I was a little nervous because I hardly ever buy anything without asking Blake to make sure we have the money. Since I've been working as a sub I thought we could splurge a little.
I was planning on surprising Blake with the tickets the night of but somethings happened and I had to tell him that I bought tickets. He didn't believe me. I was a little pissed because I had it all planned out how to surprise him.... Oh well he was way taken back that I had bought the tickets and we had a ton of fun! It was like a cowboy reunion for Blake, he saw some rodeo buddies and high school buddies. Big thanks to my mom for watching McCoy!

Took the train into downtown! Jeeze I love my sexy cowboy!

Martina McBride! She was freaking amazing!

 Mr. George Strait!

 Enjoyed the concert with my lover!
