Benjamin's hair

When Benjamin was born he had little to no hair. As he got older his hair came in and it laid flat on his head unlike all my other kids whose hair stood straight up. After his first cut this is how it's been. He's now called fuzzy by countless people. I just KNOW that when he's a teen ager he's going to try and grow it out like an afro. BTW it won't lay down for anything.


Happy Birthday Jonny!!!!


I've been able to celebrate 10 birthday's with this wonderful man. It's his lucky day but I feel as if it's mine as well. Without him I wouldn't have all this. 5 Beautiful children, and a very caring husband. He is sure blessed to have all these children that adore him. Each one of them LOVE their daddy. Happy Birthday Jonathan I love you so much!!!!!!!

5 months of weight loss.

Has it really been that long. When I first started I was overwhelmed. I had a lot to lose. It's hard to be disciplined. I'm an emotional eater and I had to "deal" with my everyday small issues another way. So I got through it one week at a time. I've lost 51.8 lbs and I feel great. It's coming off slower but that's healthy. I have just 32.6 lbs to go and that's cake (although I won't eat it). I can see my self smaller and healthier the rest of my life and that makes me happy. OHHHHHH big deal here................. I got my size 8 pants out and tried them on just to measure how much I have to go.......... I got them up buttoned and zipped. They were TIGHT, but they were on. My ultimate goal is size 6 but oh man it's so close I can taste it.

KooKoonut milk.



Emma tried some coconut milk today. She didn't like it too much and called it kookoonut milk. Hahaha.

Gotta Love This Kid!

Oh how I love this big little guy. There are some times I wonder what he's thinking. Like when he runs into the street seconds away from getting hit by a car. TWICE. Not like I'm being a neglectful parent or anything. He's FAST. I've never been around a kid this fast. I've been around a lot of kids so that says A LOT.
There are times where he's calm (rarely). He's a huge snuggler. He's happy all the time. He keeps me on my toes.
Even though I'm close to pulling out all my hair sometimes. I LOVE this guy. Now who couldn't with that face. Oh and his first sentence was "to infinity and beyond!"
