New Years Resolution In Motion

Well..... I know Ive been saying I was going to lose weight and well I haven't started it yet. Well let me rephrase that I did good for 2 days haha So I said okay Im serious Im doing it. I looked on Weight Watchers Online last night and they have a new program called the momentum.

Out of every diet Ive tried or been on Weight Watchers is the only one that works. I mean you can eat what you want you just have to make a choice to see if its worth it or not. Ive tried doing it on my own but I just can't stick with it. I know nobody will know if I cheated, nobody but me will know if I gained or lost, and well I just couldn't stick with it.

Im very very excited, I was on this before my wedding and dropped 20 pounds in 2.5 months without working out. Im going tomorrow to my first meeting @ 5:30. Ill keep yall up to date. If anyone wants to join me feel free :o)

Netti Pots

Okay so we have been severely congested around my house for about a week now. Weve taken Nyquil, Dimetapp, Afrin, Nasonex, Sudafed, Mucinex and even Antibiotics. NOTHING has helped us!!

When I was at my aunt and uncles a few months ago and wasn't feeling so hot they told me about something that will help clear me up. Of course I was like okay Ill try ANYTHING!! So off we go to the bathroom and they bring me this little tea pot looking thing. I was like what in the heck am I supposed to do with this? My aunt said you stick it in your nose, tilt your head, slowly pour it in and it will come out the other nostril. I died laughing!! #1 of thinking about water coming out of my nose and # 2 the thought of just doing something like that. Anywho I thought what the heck I'll give it a try. It felt REALLY weird at first because water was going in one nostril and coming out the other side. BUT after it was over I felt 150% better!! I COULD ACTUALLY BREATH!!!

So since we have been stopped up with no relief I went to the store tonight and got some for Brett & I to do. I laughed so hard at Brett doing it... he was HILARIOUS!! He laughed almost the whole time too so he had water squirting out of his nose haha I know ya'll are probably just imagining what we do in our spare time hahaa. Anywho he got done with it and said hey that does work!!

So ladies and gents if you are stopped up and can't find relief try it!! I got mine a CVS but you can get them anywhere!! They are called sinu-cleanse or netti pots. IT WORKS!!!

Birthday Weekend

Well my hubby turned 25 Saturday, YES the BIG 2-5!! I told him geez you're an old man now!! HAHA We woke up that morning and I cooked him eggs, bacon, sausage and biscuits (yes I know Im a good wife) haha. After that we showered and got ready for the day. We went to the mall and Brett picked our a UT hat from my mom and he picked out UT shorts from me and Audree. We also went out to eat at Buzzard Billy's (Brett ♥ 's that place). His mom, dad, sister, my mom, stepdad, and Aunt Tiffany and Uncle Zach all went. It was so much fun!! After dinner, we went back to Brett's parents for cake and ice cream. Brett ♥ 's red velvet cake!!

Later that night we went back to Zach and Tiff's and just hung out. We watched a Chris Rock stand up comedy act which was hilarious. We also watched a movie called 1408 it was CREEPY!! BUT it was really really good. Peanut & Ginger (my neices :o) were all over me. We played with their toys, which was A TON, and cuddled on the couch. Aunt Tiffany and Uncle Zach got to play with Audree and have fun. Audree was fighting her sleep though, she didn't want to miss out on any of the action. I finally got her to sleep and we all just sat around and talked. It was so good just hanging out with them and having a OMCD (inside thing). After that we came home and crashed!! Audree slept with us AGAIN, she has been sleeping with us since she got sick Wednesday night. BUT I can't say Im complaining I love cuddling with her.

Birthday Planning= STRESS

Okay so Audree turns 1 in 40 DAYS! Im starting to stress a little because I am having problems deciding on a location. We orignally were gonna have it our house, but then I thought no lets have it somewhere fun. So we tried the mayborn museum=BOOKED, Jumping Party= most of the kiddies would be too young to participate, Peter Pipers= dont care for it, Cameron Park Zoo= TOO COLD?

I already have her party decorations picked out and we will soon be ordering those. Im trying to decide on the cake, YES there are a lot of decisions when it comes to cakes! HAHA We are getting a tiered cake, not a flat sheet and they are a TON of cute designs!

Then comes the decision: Do we make this just family since its her 1st birthday? or do we invite our friends and their kiddos? Im so CONFUSED! Brett wants just family and I completely understand that maybe she does just need her family with her, but at the same time I want her to have her friends there too.

So friends in bloggerland I need your help. Where would you have your child's 1st birthday? Remember her's in Feb so itll be cold outside and our house is only 1500 square feet! Would you invite family only? or would you invite friends? Am I stressing out over something that I shouldn't be stressing out over?

Under the Weather

Well we made it 11 months without Audree getting sick, but our streak has ended :o( I started getting congested earlier this week: coughing, sneezing, stopped up, etc. I tried to stay away from Audree as much as possible because I didn't want her to catch it. New Year's Eve she started getting a runnt nose but I was hoping it wouldn't go any futher than that WRONGO!! She couldn't sleep, can't breath out of her nose and is sneezing. So this morning Brett & I took her to the Dr. She didn't say too much just that it was going around. She prescribed her an antihistimine. We got home, gave her a dose of meds, and fed her lunch. I felt of her forehead and she felt really warm, I took her temp and it was 101.1. AHHHHHHHHH first time my baby has ever had a fever. So I gave her some Motrin and she was out like a light. I feel so sorry for her. She is all stopped up, doesn't feel good, and is WHINEY!! Just keep Audree in your prayers so she can get better soon.

Resolutions...

Okay so every year you are supposed to make a new years resolution..... Well this year Ive decided I will make some

#1 Be the best mother to Audree
#2 Be the best wife to Brett
#3 Drop ATLEAST 20 pounds
#4 Be healthier overall

What are yours?

Its A New Year!!

WOW!! I cant believe that 2008 has come and gone so quick!! It seems like just yesterday we were bring in 2008.

We didn't do too much to ring in 2009. We went out to eat, just the 3 of us and Johnny Carino's was PACKED might I add. After we ate dinner, my dad had invited us over to hang out. Zach and Tiffany couldn't do much since Zach had to work late :o(, but I did eat a piece of tiramusu for her haha. We went to my dad's to hang out with them for a bit. I told Brett geez you know youre old and boring when you bring in the new year with your parents haha, but we had fun! Audree played with my dad and they played with her toys. Audree fell asleep around 9:30 and woke up @ 11. She was ready to party and count down to the ball dropping! Needless to say I ended up falling asleep when she woke up, but everyone made sure to wake me up by 11:30. HAHA Im old..... When it hit midnight Brett and I gave Audree a kiss and we made our way home.

Audree kept us up most of the night (no she wasn't partying) she is all stopped up. She couldn't suck on her passy because she couldn't breath out of her nose. Audree can NOT sleep if she doesn't have her passy in ( I know I know). So I was up half the night rocking & bouncing her. She whined off and on all night long, I guess we finally got our dose of having an actual baby. HAHA Audree is the BEST baby who very rarely cries and fusses. I ended up giving her a bottle around 2:30 am and dosed her up with some motrin. This morning she seems better, just still really stuffy. Ive been giving her motrin and sucking out her nose which might I add SHE HATES WITH A PASSION!!

My baby will turn 1 years old this year AHHHHHHHHHHHH I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday she was born. Brett & I will also be celebrating another birthday BOOOO, I HATE getting older. We are also both still continuing our education this year.

We hope this year is a GREAT and WONDERFUL new year!! Happy 2009!!
