Party Day at Granny's

Every Tuesday is party day at Granny Mary Jane's house. She has been doing this for over 10 years now. All the kids that aren't in school get together at Granny Mary Jane's house and she cooks and bakes for everyone. Today was a special Tuesday too because it fell on Ava's 1 birthday. Here are some shots from Tuesday 5th.

In the last photo, Hayden is singing Ava to sleep.

Happy 1st Birthday Ava!!!

Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom
I never he ld a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important an d happy.

Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,
the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

I dont' know who wrote this but it's the truth in every way.

Weight Loss...Week 1

The first week of WW was great. I have felt so much better and have found lots of energy I have been missing for a long time. Today I LOST 6.2LBs!!! I was sooo happy and I want to keep it going. If anyone is interested to know, Weight Watchers has free registration until March 3. All you have to pay is $12.00 per week, see what you think and please let me know your results too. I have 8 friends now that have joined and everyone's weight loss is different. Some want to loss 20lb and some 200lb, this life style is for everyone. Give it a shot and let me know what you think, I am telling ya, you will feel so different that first week. I will keep posting every week. Everytime you hit a 5lb lose you get a star!!!

WeightWatchers....

I have decided to join WeightWatchers and make a change. This is not the first time I signed up, I just stopped going.... I will make this my last. It's the best program out there if your looking to change to a healthier life style. Since I had my daughter Ava almost a year ago I have gained some or a lot of weight plus more after her birth. I seen a video tape my husband film of Ava and I playing on the floor and I didn't even realize how much weight I put on. I started feeling bad about my appearance well before my pregnancy and it has gotten worse.

I am sooooo ready to tell you all about this life changing experience. I think we should all have goals set in life so we can become better people in all aspects of our lives. I will post my goals here shortly and I hope you will make some goals for yourself too.

I feel so much better joining WW and I have some friends and family members doing it with me too. I will keep you all updated and if anyone is doing any weight loss plan or has any advise please let me know and I would love to talk.

Maternity, Jim & Kelly

I love these two!!! We had so much fun with this photo shoot. The weather was rainy and overcast but this couple still looked amazing. Kelly is due in February and she looks so beautiful and Jim is very excited about his new baby girl. They are keeping her name a secret but I keep trying to get it out of them, the name just won't slip... I guess I will have to wait until she gets here. Love you guys!!!
