Emotions

So Sunday night at girls night we did a devo about emotions, and how to control them, and how not to let them run our lives. I feel like I really need that devo this week. I have been kind of depressed lately about myself. I have always had low self-esteem...chalk it up to years of toture in school....but anyway this past week I just can't seem to get over it. A older lady at coffe break said that it looks like a I have a few baby pounds to kill (which I do) but u don't tell someone that. and then last night at work, a guy asked if I was expecting. (who does that!!) and NO i am not pregnant (thank God) but it really got me down in the dumps. I work my ass out almost everyday and try my hardest to eat healthy, but I guess its not working. and I work at a health club for goodness sake!!!! I know you all don't care about this, but I just need to vent, and I also use this blog as a memoir for me too. anyway I feel lately that I have just let myself go since having kids, and its not that I did it intentionally, but I just don't seem to have an extra 20 min in the morning to do my hair and make-up, I am so busy!! Which leads to the next thing that has gotten me down. We had a bad experiance with the night babysitter at the YMCA and Dave feels like I should cut back or maybe quit all together to spend more time at home. He feels, and I guess I agree a little, that our kids are being neglected, and work and church are coming before them. so that made me feel bad to, althoug he didn't intend it to hurt. so yeah i am just a mess this week. but enough crappy stuff. I am gonna go now. Next post i will put some cute pics of the girls in their halloween costumes!!!

Dakota "Crawling"

Now you have to agree with me that she is just way to young to be able to do this!!

OMG!!!

Well I apologize to all my faithful readers (if there are any) that I haven't posted in a while. This past week and so just seemed to fly by, and I never really found myself at the computer. Life here is just moving right along, I was hoping to have pics and videos of Dakota, but I can't seem to find the camera right now. She is growing sooooo fast, to fast if you ask me. She is already strating to crawl! I know crazy right, she is only 5 months old!! but she does this cute little army crawl, and she can get where she wants to go! now thankfully, she can't got very fast so I can do damage control, but still! Cheyenne didn't start really moving like this till like 6 1/2 months! We are also working on sitting up, but we aren't quite there yet, but getting close. Its a whole new world now-she won't just stay on her blanket, which means i need to vacume EVERYDAY! (stupid dog hair!!)
Other than that life is just about the same over here. We are in a pretty good schedule right now, and just coasting right now. Next post I will try to have to pics and videos of the kids.

National Cupcake Day

Today is National Cupcake Day. Everyone is encouraged to bring cupcakes to work, or school, or whereever in honor of all the babies that were aborted and therefore do not get to have a birthday. I think this is such a great idea, and some of our youth group kids brought over 100 cupcakes to school today to pass out. It was so awesome to see them take chrage on an issue that they care about, and do something about it. So take a little break today from all your business and eat a cupcake and remember all those babies who don't get to have a birthday.

The Pumpkin Ranch

Yesterday was a rare Saturday that we didn't have any plans, so we decided to go the pumpkin farm to get us some pumpkins. Well it turned out to be a beautiful day and the kids were in pretty good moods, so we were excited! Well silly us didn't do much research before we left, we just tried to remember from last year. When we got there it wasn't even open yet, so we went to Wal-Mart and got some lunch at Culvers. I decided yesterday that Culvers is probably my favorite "fast food" place to eat. it is just so yummy and Cheyenne gets free ice cream ever time we go, and she can never eat it all!!
After some shopping and lunch we headed back to the farm. We had a good time looking at all the animals and chasing the kitty cats all around. We tried to do the corn maze, but of course that scared Cheyenne- so it wasn't much fun. We were going to go on a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch, but the hayrides didn't start till 2:00 and we started having meltdowns around 1:30 so we just picked out some pumpkins from the front and called it a day!
Cheyenne didn't care one bit about the pumpkins, all she cared about were the kittys. she would chase them, and then pick them up and just walk around with them. but the bad thing was she would just grab those poor cats by the nect]k and serioulsy almost strangle them! It was so cute to watch her, and you can guess how she reacted when she found out she could take a pumpkin home, but not a cat!! Overall it was a pretty nice time, next year we will have to time it better so we can go on the hayride!
