COUNT DOWN TO VACATION

COUNT DOWN TO VACATION


Okay, so only 6 more days til vacation. YEAH! We are all very excited. Of course there is always that 10 + hour drive to think about that keeps weighing on my mind. Please ,please, please let it not be miserable…GOD, hear my prayers!
Update on the weight loss …………well, there is no update. I can honestly say that I have not lost 1 single pound in almost 2 months. Although I haven’t been watching what I eat, I definitely turned up the exercising. I didn’t lose 1 single pound. Well I guess that is better than gaining, right?

SHOWER????

My niece Whitney is getting married next month and over the weekend my sister Christi had her a wedding shower. I told Allison and Megan time and time again over the week that we were going to Whitney's shower. They seemed happy about going. As we were leaving Sunday, I heard Allie in the back seat telling Megan, "Megan, we going to Whitney's shower. We watch Whitney take bath?"
It was so cute. I never thought to explain to the girls that the shower we were going to didn't involve bathing!! LOL!
I went on to explain to them that the wedding shower we were going to was actually a party....where there is gifts, games, and food! They, of course, got even more excited.

Family Pictures











A few weeks back we had our family pictures made. My cousins wife Mickie did them for us and I was so impressed with her work. She is a fabulous photographer. Just thought I'd share some of the pictures.

Nicolas’ interpretation of “Great”

Nicolas’ interpretation of “Great”


So we were driving home from daycare yesterday and Nicolas and I were talking about how much fun he had over the weekend spending time with his cousin Noah. I knew that he had went to church with my sister Emily and Noah and I was asking him if he had saw Grandma and Grandpa Sirles there. He said yes and that he had given her a hug. I was really glad that he did that because I knew that would make her happy. I went on to explain that she was actually his “Great” Grandma Sirles. He looked puzzled for a minute and said… “Is that because I love her so much?”.
Kids are so funny… I told him yes but also explained the family chain to him.

June 1st, Already??

June 1st

I can’t believe its already June 1st. This year is flying by. Only 34 more days til vacation. Watch out Destin…here we come. YEAH! Although I am super excited I am also pretty nervous about the whole 10 hour drive. I know we will survive but I am sure it will be rough with the kids.
This past weekend was really eventful. Derek and I went to see Kenny Chesney. The concert was great. All of the groups sounded really good.
One really funny thing Allison said this weekend was “Daddy, come here, I am going to tell you what to do.” She is so bossy its hilarious. She is a lot like Nicolas.
Well I was down a little over 1lb last week from the start of May 5th (pretty pathetic) but I didn’t even weigh this morning because I am sure all of the food I ate this weekend will probably put me over from where I even started.
