I am in the car going down the road, so please forgive me it isn't put together well. I have a lot on my mind right now, but I can't share.
We are traveling this week, and I am kind of nervous how it is going to effect our diet. It I hard to pick restaurant that is good for you all the time. Plus part of the time we will be at Steve's Mom's house and she doesn't always have food that is hood for toy either.
We have had a lot of stress lately, so we are going to get away for couple of days and relax. I hope to take the boys to do some fun things.
We are also going to see Steve's brother. He lives in Colorado, therefor we don't get to see him very often.
Side note: the boy have asked us a 100 times are we there yet and we still have two hours to go.
We were playing I spy just a few minutes ago and Levi said, "I spy something vanilla." We were guessing different things that were white or cream colored. Finally he said, " Nope it is Micah!" I don't know where the kid comes up with this stuff. He called his dad the bald one the other day. It wasn't in a disrespectful way. {Steve makes fun of himself all the time for being bald.}
Micah has been a little exasperating lately. It seems like he is getting into more and making more messes. This morning while I was getting dress, he got up in the cabinet and got an flavor packet for water. He then proceeded to open the packet and put it into a cup. He then poured water into the cup. Somehow he spilled it on the countertop and in the floor. He stained the countertop. It is red. I hope I can get it out.
I really can't tell you how much stuff he has spilled in the last week. The child just makes messes. I hope I can survive this stage or whatever it is.
Please be praying for us while we are away that we have safe travels.
Please be praying for my sister. She starts a new round of chemo. This round is once a week for twelve weeks.
Hope everyone had a great week!

1st T-ball practice
This is a picture of our first t-ball practice. It was probably the coldest day of the month. It is suppose to get warmer towards the end of the week. Levi seems to be enjoying it. He definitely needs so help on throwing the ball. I hope this is a fun season for him!

Random thoughts
I have a lot of random thoughts that are going through my head so I think I am going to blog them. {well, I know I am because I am doing it right now. HA!}
We start t-ball and coach pitch practice this week. Levi starts to night and Micah's is Thursday {I think!}.
Micah's is six weeks, but I am not sure how long Levi's will be. I hope they both catch on pretty quick.
We are starting our fifth week of P90X. We have only missed one workout. That is impressive for us. We have learned that working out in early mornings is best for us. We don't have kids interfering. If we wait until after the kids go to bed, we just don't have the energy. We have also learned to not eat real food, before our work out. It just doesn't work out well for us. Some people can work out on a full stomach and some people can't.
I am praying for my sister. She was diagnosed with breast cancer last October-November. She had a double mastectomy and is not going through chemo. She has gone through six weeks of two chemo drugs and now she is going every week for 12 weeks. She starts this next Monday, so if you would please keep them in your prayers. She also had two kids and is a single mom. She lost her husband 12 years ago. They have been a family that has endured a lot.
I have lost almost 30 pounds but I am not down a size yet. I hope to be soon. Maybe another week or two.
We had a wonderful weekend. I got to see some close friends! We love them very much! We need to hang out with them more.
I love gaining the hour of daylight, but I hate losing the sleep. I am so glad that Spring time is coming. Love seeing all of the flowers blooming and starting to bloom.
Hope everyone has a great week!

Routine
Do you guys get into a routine? We do. We get up, we eat, we exercises, we put the boys to bed {wish we went to bed at the same time} at the same time. We schedule things in but we almost always know do the same thing. We just have a routine and a schedule. {especially now that Levi is in school.} Steve goes crazy when we get out of our schedule.
I think that this is what has helped us with our diet and exercise program into our life. The routine of it getting up and getting it done the first thing in the morning. We have to get it done, before the boys wake up. We don't have any excuse to not get it done. So far, it has worked for us.
We also eat plan our meals out, this way we only buy what need. We also don't have to think about what we are cooking, we already know what we are cooking. We aren't temped to eat something bad or quick for us. We also cook several meats at one time. That way all we have to do is pull it out of the fridge and warm it up. It works for us. I know not everyone is up for leftovers.
We also eat at the same time every day. We eat breakfast after are workout, which is usually between 6:30-7:00. We eat snack about 9:30-10:00. We eat lunch about 12:00-12:30. We eat another snack about 3:00, when Levi gets home from school. Lastly, we have dinner about 5:00-5:30. I can tell, I start getting hunrgy around these times now. I know it is alot, but it is good for your metabalism.
I think that rountine is what has helped us so far. Just sticky with a scheduale and a rountine. It takes the guess work out of it. I know I have said "When am I going to fit in my work out today?" Then the whole day goes by and I haven't worked out. You have to set aside that time. This is something that we have learned and I have seen out coach twitter. She said "You schedule things that are important to you" I think this goes for your workout, your prayer, and your reading time. You have to prioritize things in your life. Those three things and my family are the most important things in my life.
Yep, I am feeling so much better today. I get to help some one make healthy choices tomorrow. I am going grocery shopping with her. I am excited about it! Praying God gives me wisdome. She may even start workingout with us. I know God is going to use this journey I am on now to help other people. It will have its bumps, but He is going to get me through it.

One of our Favorite Recipes
One of our favorite recipes is Baked Porcupines. So I thought I would share with your.
1 lb. lean ground beef, chicken, or turkey
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1/2 cup of water
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of celery salt
1/8 teaspoon of pepper
1 (15 ox) can tomato sauce
Directions:
Heat oven to 350, mix meat, rice, 1/2 cup water, onion, salts, garlic, and pepper. Shape mixture by rounded tablespoonfuls into balls. Place meatballs in skillet and brown. Drain fat. Place meatballs in baking dish that has be sprayed with non-stick spray. stir together remaining ingredients; pour over meatballs. Cover with aluminum foil and back for 45 min. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 min.
It makes about four services. 287 calories and 8.7 for turkey. 357 calories and 6.2 grams fat each for beef, 277 calories and 10.4 grams fat each for chicken.
I use ground turkey and love it. It tasted a little salty to us the last time we made it, so this time we made it, we cut out the salt. {we still used the cerlery salt} We also used low-sodium tomato sauce. It seemed to help us. We have gotten to wear we don't like a whole much of salt anymore.

Workout even when you don't want to.
Lately I have been battling this kind of melancholy attitude toward things. I think it is something that I have always battled. I am so afraid of failure that I often times just don't try anything or I give up. Some of that dpends on what your definition of failure is. I define failure as not doing something perfectly, or as good as some body else, or the standards that the person I am doing whatever for. My husbands definition of failure is comepletly differnt. He defines it as giving up or not finishing. He said "If I do my best, I never fail!" So I am trying to reconcile my definition to him definition. I am working one it.
I really just want to give up some days, but I can't afford to. I have to do this for myself, to know that I can accmplish something. I have to do this for my husband and kids, so that I can have a long life and enjoy my time with them as much as a can.
So my advice to you and myself is to workout even when you don't feel like it. I feel better after I workout. It is the whole self-discpline thing. It know this is going to tranfer over into other areas of my life.
I am trying to learn as much about nutirtion and excerise as I can, so that I can continue on this journey. I need to be educated about what I am putting in my body. Here I am pushing on and doing what I can.
My workout today kicked my butt. It was tough and hard, but everyday I am growing stronger. I am able to do more each day and each week. I am looking forward to the day when I don't have to pause the video to catch my breath. Where I can to all of the excerises. There are somethings I can't do because I am so heavy. I feel trapped by my body. I won't always be at this weight.
This is a journey and a process. I am taking one step and a time and trying to enjoy each step. I am on my way.
I guess I need this post to help lift me up. I hope it does the same for you. You can to whatever you put your mind to, but it may not happen over night.

I wish
I wish I had something clever to blog about, but I don't today. It is a raining day here. I am just hanging out with my youngest. Trying to enjoy all the moments that I have left, because lets face it he will be going to school before I know it.
I have though about posting my "good bye" picture on here, but I am just not sure about posting that picture for all the world to see. I am really ashamed of how I look. I have lost about 27 pounds since the first of the year. I think 7 or more has come from P90X. I haven't weighted this week though, maybe tomorrow. I am starting to tell the difference in my shirts and pants. I am hoping in a couple of week that I will be able to go down a size in my pants. It is just because it will give me an excuse to buy new clothes. HA! I haven't bought new clothes in a while.
I wish I new and understood what God is up to in our lives. We know He is up to something, just not sure what yet! Well, let ya'll know when we do.
One things that is really helping me stay on track right now with my weight loss is the protein bars, and the Shakeology. It is yummy and makes me feel like I am having candy bar and milkshake. I do wish weight would come off quicker than it come on.
I have noticed that my wrist are smaller. I know random, but I think this post is going to be that way.
I wish I didn't feel the way I feel right now. I have felt kind of melancholy. I have been praying about it and I know that God is going to help be get through this right now. I am having a hard time getting motivated. I just need him to speak to me. I know he will, but in his timing. I am waiting on him!
I need Him! He is the only one who can get the through anything. My life depends on him. My life falls apart with out HIM!
I came accross the quote the other day on Twitter "I believe when you're waiting, who you become while you're waiting, is as important as what you're waiting for" Pete Wilson. We get so caught up in what we are waiting for, we don't see what God is doing for us while we are waiting. He takes us through things to build charatcter in us. We miss that part some many times.
Okay I am stopping it is getting really random. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Winter Jam 2011
The weekends are always so busy for us. I guess it is for everyone. My weekdays are usually pretty low key. Micah and I take care of the house and just chill. Come Thursday it seems like I hit the ground with my feet running.
This weekend we went to Winter Jam. It was crazy. There were about 15,000 people inside. It was crazy. There were people who had been waiting and didn't get inside. It is a first come basis. People have the tendency to get really upset when they don't get in. People come from all over, so I could see where it would be upsetting when they don't get in.
The boys had so much fun. Their favorite groups were Red and NewSong. I think it is because they had the most lights. My favorite was David Crowder Band. They didn't a wonderful job, and there is nothing like 15,000 people sing "How He Loves". It was awesome! It doesn't help it is one of my favorite songs. They also ROCKED some old church songs.
Levi was so tired that He fell asleep during Kutless. I don't know how he fell asleep but he did.
Micah was ready to go after Kutless, but then Newsboys came out and He was ready to stay. Micheal Tate did a great job also. Micah really loves Music. I often pray that my boys are muscially talented. I wish I was more. I do an okay job singing, but that is about it. I am atempting to learn to play the piano. I hope them that they can and maybe a little for myself too.
This was their first Concert experiance. Well one that they can remember. I took them once to Winter Jam, when Micah was one and Levi was two. So they don't remember it. I think they enjoyed it. Hope to enjoy many more experiances like this with them.

The worse day EVER!
Yesterday I went and picked up Levi from school. We were heading out to Hot Springs to do some shopping. We were pulling out of the schools driveway when he realized that his donut from that morning was gone. Micah had ate it, because Steve told him is okay. Little did we know it was going to cause the melt-down of the year. So I offered to go by Sonic and get him a grilled cheese or something for a snack. "NO I want a donut!" I try to restrict how much sugar they get and I was NOT going to let him have another donut.
He was still upset. "I don't want Sonic!" I proceed to drive by Sonic on our way out of town. He was going ballistic at this point. If I hadn't been to far we would have turned around the car and went home. So about two-three miles down the road, He decided he wanted Sonic. I told him, "We have already passed Sonic. I am not turning around now. We have gone too far." I did tell him that I would get him something to eat once we were in Hot Springs. That made it whole things worse.
Levi asked "Where are my Lego?"
Me "I don't know you had them. Are they at home?"
Levi "Yes! I want to go home!"
Me " No we are not going home. We have to go get groceries!" {By this time I was about ready to loose it myself}
Now he proceeds to tell me, "This is the worse day ever! Because Micah ate donut, you passed Sonic, and I didn't bring have his Lego's!" He was in melt-down mode, as if you couldn't tell. We haven't had one of these in a while. It was an interesting moment to say the least. I told him, "Calm down, take a breath! If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything a all." If he said something else I just might have gone off. He didn't even want his Nintendo at this time. That is BAD!
I am not sure how it all calmed down, but it did. Steve and I were trying not to laugh at him when He told us "This is the worse day ever!" It is a pretty rough day for a four-year-old.
I wish this was all that my bad days were!

Confession of a Stay-at-Home-Mom
I have been a stay-at-home-mom now for five years. I can hardly beleive it! Next year all of my babies will be going off to school. It is sad, but true! So here is what I have done or not done over the years [and this is what I can remember}:
There have been days that we have all stayed in our pjs.
There have been days that I have felt lost in all of the chaos of having two little boys.
I have felt like I lost myself in staying at home.
I have wanted to go back to work, but I don't know how mom's who work get it all done.
I have resented staying-at-home.
I had days where I loved staying at home and cherished every momment.
There are days that I didn't get a shower nor did the boys.
There were days that we layed on the couch and watched TV.
There are were days all we did were play outside.
There were days all we did was play in the toy room.
There were day we colored, and made crafts.
There were days the house didn't get clean.
There are days that I miss those times.
There are days that I wish I had treasured more.
The time with my boys have flown by so fast. I love them so much. They are the biggest blessings! Treasure the time you have because life is but a vapor.

P90X UPDATE
So we are into our third week of P90X. I am enjoying it, but hate it at the same time. I can't do all of a workout YET!. {I plan to be able to one of these days} I pant and sweat like I never have before. There are times that I have felt like vomiting while in the middle of a work-out. It is tough, I have hurt is places I didn't know I had..
To say it is tough is an understatement.
Somehow I still enjoy it.
I have done things I NEVER thought I would.
I haven't weighted this week to see if I have lost any weight. Like I said in my previous post it isn't my friend. I obsess over it. I may later in the week not sure, if I do I will let you guys know.
I wanted to give you guys the good, the bad, and the ugly on the journey. I have to keep it real and honest.
I am surprised that we have done it this long. I think I said it before. We usually do something for a little while then quit. I really don't think it will be this way, this time. If it does, I would like for those of you who read my blog to help keep me accountable. I NEED IT!
I am focusing on getting healthy.
I am focusing on getting more flexible.
I am focusing on getting more mobile.
I am doing what I can, and forgetting the rest! ~ Tony Horton
If I mess up, I start again the next day. I can't give up this time. I have to do it for myself, for my husband, and for my kids.
There are day I don't want to do it. I would just prefer to say it bed a little longer, or do other things. I have put myself on the back burner for way too long!! I need to take care of myself and the body that God has entrusted me with.
So here is to getting healthy! How are you getting healthy in your live? What bad habbits can you give up? It is hard, it is a battle I deal with everyday. We can do this together. We don't have to be doing the same thing to help each other out.
To say it is tough is an understatement.
Somehow I still enjoy it.
I have done things I NEVER thought I would.
I haven't weighted this week to see if I have lost any weight. Like I said in my previous post it isn't my friend. I obsess over it. I may later in the week not sure, if I do I will let you guys know.
I wanted to give you guys the good, the bad, and the ugly on the journey. I have to keep it real and honest.
I am surprised that we have done it this long. I think I said it before. We usually do something for a little while then quit. I really don't think it will be this way, this time. If it does, I would like for those of you who read my blog to help keep me accountable. I NEED IT!
I am focusing on getting healthy.
I am focusing on getting more flexible.
I am focusing on getting more mobile.

Carolyn's 13th Birthday Party.
This year Carolyn {my niece} turned 13 on February the 13th. She was a Friday the 13th baby. Trust me we have given her a hard time about it from the day she was born. My sister is is going through chemotherapy treatments right now, but she decided to go ahead and have her daughter a birthday party. Carolyn's birthday parties are hard to plan because you never know what the weather is going to do. So My sister decided to have it towards the end of the month which worked out perfect.
I can NOT believe that she is 13!
She is all about basketball!
My boys call her Sissy because when they were learning to talk that is what we all called her. She LOVES its! They all excited about "Sissy's" birthday party and swimming! {I think it was more about the swimming part! Ha!}
They were ready to do that! I don't think they can wait until summer so that they can swim!
I couldn't post a blog with out picture of the other niece Deidra {who is also known as Dee Deedee Deidra. thos are all various forms of what the boys call her.}
I love these girls so much! They maybe the closest I ever get to having one of my own! So glad Carolyn had a wonderful birthday! Hope she has many more!
