It has been crazy over the holidays, as I'm sure it has been for everyone else. We had a really fun Christmas at home, I love having Christmas at our house the boys got spoiled (again), and we all had fun playing and relaxing in pj's all day.
Zaden has been doing amazing with preschool, it is amazing how he has changed from a shy little guy to having an amazing amount of confidence. He run through his shapes and colors like they are nothing. He is struggling with recognizing letters in the alphabet, but hopefully with practice he will get it figured out pretty quick.
Aaron and I are both going to school for spring semester, and both into business. We even get to have our economics class together. I am excited because I think it will be kind of fun to have a class with him.
Other than that nothing new, I am still working on losing weight, now that the darn holidays are over I plan on having way more to report, let's face it the holidays just kill us all, but I do feel like I didn't do too bad this year.
We are just set on cruise in life right now, family, school, and work keep us pretty busy.
I hope you all had good holidays.

It's Been a while!
Hi Everyone,
Wow, I didn't realize how long it had been since I have posted. I guess so much has been going I haven't even thought about it.
We started Zaden in preschool. And he loves it. He was getting really stir crazy at home, and needed something to get focused on. He was really pushing me to let him go to school which I thought was kind of crazy for a 3 year old but, he is doing really great and I am glad I listened to him. He really loves going to school.
I haven't lost anymore weight yet, but it has been a little hard because of holidays, but I am going to strive to lose some more pounds in the month of December, so cross your fingers.
We had a really good halloween, braddock loved saying he was a pumpkin and zaden loved being a soldier, he still wears his costume.
Overall, things are going really well and now we are excited to get ready for santa to come and to have a good christmas at home.

Our Family Photos
We decided it was time for some different, more fun pictures this year. Usually we do the wamart thing. But that just wasn't cutting it for me. For me I think they charge to much for what you don't get. So I asked around to some friends and found a great mom that loves doing it. Her name is Kristi Simmons. She did an amazing job and my family just loved working with her... the best part is that she just gave me a disk of everything she took and I have tons of different pictures to choose from!!! Here is just a few of what she took.

The first 10 are the Hardest!
Well my title is the truth. I have finally lost my first 10 pounds. The sad but good part is it only took me a week. Thanks to some very motivating people I have finally taken it upon myself to smack myself upside the head and get started. So for the last week I have pushed myself, with the wonderful help from my husband to really get started with losing weight. It was kind of hard to just fully dedicate myself to stop doing some habits and start better habits. But I learned from a really good talk I heard recently that it takes a couple weeks to really develope something into a habit. So hopefully now I will have more active updates about losing weight. I am really motivated and excited to get where I want to be!!! Thanks to all of you wonderful people in my life who have helped to motivate me!!!
Yay for my first 10 pounds gone!!!!!

ER and Stitches
We had a not so fun night last night, as you c
an see from the pictures. I was getting Zaden in his pj's and he started jumping around on his bed trying to play. The next thing we know he fell straight in his bed post. I immediatly grabbed him because I heard a crack. My first though was oh no he just lost some teeth. When I picked him up blood was just gushing everywhere. It took me all of 2 seconds to see that it was big and very deep. I yelled to Aaron and told him we had to go to the ER. Let me tell you that was the fastest drive to the emergency room. When we got there we got in and I was covered in blood. (Sorry if this is too much). I had blood from my elbows to my fingers on both arms. All over my shirt and my neck. And Zaden had a ton on his bare chest.
He only cried for a few mintues at home. But when the nurse checked his vitals he flipped out. He was screaming and there was nothing anyone could say or do to calm him down. Finally, when we got into the room he calmed down and watched the disney movie they had on.
He is such a tough little guy. the doctor's were so impressed. He screamed when they numbed his face. But the whole time while he got stitched up he just laid there calmly and let the doctor get it done, which was good because they were going to restrain him but the doctor gave him a chance. We were so proud of him for being a toughy!!!
The grand Total was 10 stitches!!!
So we made it through our first ER visit for one of the boys. And I will tell you I hope we never have to again because it scared me to death!!!! Honestly Aaron and I both agreed that with how much of a monkey Zaden is we are suprised he made it to 3 without already being there. The bad part is Braddock is just as much of a monkey, so heaven knows what the future will bring.
Zaden is doing much better today, for the most part it is like nothing happened to him. Which for a mom is kinda scary because I am trying to get him to take it kinda easy. The doctor was also worried about a head injury because of it, but like I said he is a big toughy, and apparently he is a lot tougher than I thought!!!!!

Fun at the Fair
We had a really fun day at the fair this weekend. The boys got to help out with farming. and make sock puppets. And one of their favorite parts was getting a balloon. There are not very many pictures of braddock because he was just hanging out in his car seat. He is teething and was more interesting in watching than doing. We all had a lot of fun. And Zaden and Braddock loved getting lots of candy.
