Well now....

We have the worst luck EVER with computers! First our laptop stopped working during General Conference (actually....Ronald kind of broke it) and now the regular computer won't work either. So....what are we to do? I'm just going to borrow my baby brother's laptop for a while....so there won't be pictures any time soon, unless he lets me put pictures on here. Things are just so frustrating.....AHHHH!!! Oh well. At least we have the things that really matter, like a home, clothes, food and each other.

Smiley boy

This post is really for Papi....my sweet Ronald who has been working so hard to provide for us. We hardly get to see him, so I thought I would put these pictures on here so he can see our handsome boy's smile. I love you baby! Thanks for loving us so much!

What a handsome boy!

I'm so sore!

Yesterday I decided it was time to take some action! I'm glad that my belly shrunk back down, but I'm still not completely satisfied with my bodacious body. I love my body, regardless of what it looks like, but I really want to look like I used to, back in my personal training days. The reality is that I won't look exactly like that, for one because I have two children, and also because I can't afford to go to a gym and I need lots of weight resistance to get to where I was before.

What I did do yesterday was a couple of work-out videos that I own (Tae Bo and Denise Austin). I was SO TICKED when I couldn't do any regular push ups, and I could barely do the ones on your knees. That is going to change! But, I must admit, even though I am really sore today....it feels so good! So watch out everyone! I'm on a mission to get my body back!

I also kind of want to start a work out group that meets at church, if we have enough people interested and if it's approved. Any one interested?

What a wonderful morning!

Okay....so this morning I really wanted some Christmas music, and I FOUND A STATION PLAYING IT!!!!! HOORAY!!!!! (101.3 FM) This was my reaction....seriously....I was so excited for like 3 minutes. Grace and Isabella were looking at me like a was crazy. What can I say?

Auntie Beebs and Alexander.

The ever so lovely radio that has blessed me with a wonderful morning!

COOKIES!

Mom gave me two bags of chocolate chips, so last night I decided we needed to make cookies. And so we did.

My big girl helper stirring the dough.

Finger-licking good!

Auntie Beebs was telling her not to eat the dough off of the spoon....she thought that was very funny.

I'm watching you!

Her pretty face after eating a cookie!

Okay....so if you figure out what "no one saw" in this video, then I am so busted....me and my big mouth....silly mami.

This video is kind of long, but funny. Plus you get to here Gracie singing N'Sync. I love the puppy face Isabella gives in this video!

Auntie Beebs

Auntie Beebs (Grace) comes to our house every other Friday night to sleep over. We LOVE when Auntie Beebs comes....she's so fun! Isabella loves playing with Auntie Beebs, and I love her company. We always laugh so much and have a good time. I love you Beebs.

Isabella kept patting Grace's cheek.

For some reason, Isabella likes to stick her finger's in Grace's mouth. I think it's because she likes her braces and is curious about them.

Isabella, where are Auntie Beebs boogies?

Isabella, where are your boogies?

I love this picture...aren't they both so beautiful?

Grace is getting me back with a nostral shot. I took a picture of my nostrals on her cell. She got her pay back.

Auntie Beebs is so wonderful with Isabella. I love this video of them. This is very typical of what happens when Auntie Beebs and Isabella get together.

King of Changing Diapers

My youngest brother, Tanner, is currently living with us. Yesterday I took advantage of this and asked him to watch Alexander while Isabella and I went to the store to get milk. Apparently while we were gone, Alexander pooped. Well.......Tanner has never changed a poopy diaper before, or any diaper for that matter. He called my mom (HAHAHA!!!!!) and asked her how to change a diaper. When we got back from the store I went upstairs to see how my little man was doing and Tanner said:
T: "By the way.....I hate you."
C (me): "Why? haha"
T: "I had to change your sons poopy diaper."
C: "HAHAHAHA!!!!!! Sorry Tanner. How'd you do?"
T: "I called mom and asked her."
C: "HAHAHAHA!!!! Are you serious?"
T: "YES!"
C: "Oh Tio, you didn't have to change him, you could've just waited. Do you think you did okay?"
T: "You'll find out when you change his diaper again."

Tanner actually also had to change his clothes because they were wet too. Good thing Alexander didn't have a blow-out. Then Tanner would've been a mess. Tanner did a very good job changing his diaper. Thanks, Tio. You'll be a great daddy someday.
