What have we been up to???

Lets start off with the bad news.... I fell in my garage and busted my knee and face and look like I have been in a fist fight...... Good times.

Last weekend we Celebrated LALA's 23rd bday with burgers, cake and home videos from YEARS ago.... What fun!

Lauren's New belt and boots!!

T & Bugg hanging out at LALA's BDAY

For all who were ever curious..... this is what Nathan looked like when I met him in 6th grade. This is a video of him when he was 11 years old. Is he not the cutest thing ever??

In other news....
Zoey and Sully miss their Daddy!

And Briley LOVES hummus!!!

Here is a countdown till daddy comes home calendar for Briley.... every day we mark a day off!

Our neighbors gave us a roll top desk and I love it..... Its still getting organized but you get the idea...

Today we went to our Bestie's House, Sara, Corby and Claire-B and had a playdate. Corbs buried Briley in pillows. All you can see is her feet!

The kids played and played....

All in all We are keeping REALLY busy and passing the time quickly till our dadd-o returns. :)

EM:ME- Wednesday Weigh IN!

OK it's that Time.... MY Weekly weigh in for EM:ME Hosted by {aeFilkins}.

Here we are..... a group of women who decided it was time to get a grip and realize we are important and take better care of ourselves and our bodies.....

I am running short on time this week so let's cut to it.....

The numbers are great but I don't FEEL much different yet. I mean I feel healthier and my body feels clean, but I don't feel SKINNIER yet. :(

I lost 2.5 lbs this past week.

TOTAL LOSS SO FAR is 9 lbs.

I didn't have a lot of time to exercise this past week, trying to get NKB off to New Orleans, but I have been SWAMPED at work.... I swear I walk 10 miles a day at the hospital going from room to room and wheeling babies from rooms to the nursery.....

Most importantly I think its the food choices I am making. I have splurged a few times on Bday Cake and a Hamburger.... and Niko Niko....

but I am constantly drinking green tea....

and Eating LOTS OF FIBER.... :)

Fiber at Snack time....

And these are amazing!!! You feel like you are being so bad!

Baked Tostitos....

WITH MANGO SALSA... YUMMMY!

OR HUMMUS!!!

And Dannon Activia....

EXPRESS BAKE sweet potatoes... OMG you heat them in the plastic and they steam perfectly...... I eat them all day everyday.

AND SKINNY COW ICE CREAM..... God Bless whoever invented this.

This is my latest discovery... TYSON precooked seasoned chicken breast. in Italian and BBQ flavor. A Perfect and instant solution for salads, sandwiches, pitas, wraps, or just a piece of chicken.... I am addicted.

I am still taking the Acai Berry Cleanse pills and I really feel they are working well.... I have more energy and like I said my body feels clean.... I don't feel icky or run down.

I just wish I would get to a point that people would notice my hard work and dedication!

Until next time......

Tiny Treasures Tuesday....

KAYLEYN OLIVIA

Kayelyn has Exciting news! She is taking her first steps..... So far she has managed to take about 6 steps before she hits the floor.... Daddy Was worried that he would miss her first steps being that he is gone, but he didn't!

Kayleyn LOVES Gerber PUFFS, I think she could live on them. Kayelyn LOVES to EAT. and she loves her high chair. She could sit in it most of the day, as long as she has a good view of the activity around her....

Kayelyn and her cousin Madi are about 6 months apart, as they both grow, they are getting closer and closer and are starting to team up.... It's going to be a battle of the big kids against the little kids in a couple months...

BRILEY GRACE
We took the girls to the Children's museum last weekend.... Here is what Briley had to say about that....

Here is the second set of older cousins.... Can you spell T-R-O-U-B-L-E??

Tonight Grandmama brought us Chick-Fila..... You can see, Briley was THRILLED!
This is her favorite.... she would eat it every day if I would let her...

She also has a new found love for HUMMUS! Yes! HUMMUS!!! That's my girl! Not picky at all!

Here is a special Shout out to Daddy! WE MISS YOU!

Thank you Lerin for Hosting This every Week!

Children's museum & Greek Food....

Yesterday we went to the Children's Museum in Downtown Houston. It was recently remodeled and it's AMAZING! We had a great time and so did the girls...

Here is briley standing by the height Scale for average kids.... She is 3, apparently she is as tall as your average 5 year old :)

Briley wanted to climb the rock wall and Daddy Said "No way, you're too little you can't do that!" She looked at him with a ton of determination and Said " I Can too! I have to at least try everything once daddy!"

Well we ate our words because she is right we have taught her to try everything at least once... Foods, activities etc because how will you know if you like or can do it if you don't at least try!?!? So up she went and hopped on the wall like she had done it a million times! I was amazed at her strength!

This is the Power tower.... Its a HUGE tower of saucers all stacker in different directions for the kids to climb on 35 ft in the air. Freaked me out.

This is what the Power tower looks like from the ground up. Freaky.
They also have a village there called Kidtropolis. It is a town with Money and jobs and the kids are assigned jobs and help run the town. Briley was the manager of HEB.

Here she is restocking the shelves...

Next we visited the Tot Spot and Let KK crawl around and explore...

This is a giant Light bright! Kayelyn LOVED it!

I painted Briley's Face like a kitty cat per her request at the face painting station...

These mirrors are so cool.... Kayelyn couldn't figure out which one was really her!

FUNNY!

Outside they have water fun.... Briley loved that as well...

After the Museum we went to our favorite place, NIKO NIKO.... I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! The diet went out the window for an hour or so but it was so worth it!

Taboule, Hummus and Pita Bread.... Yummm..

and who eats Greek without getting Baklava???

Gyro and Homemade Fries!

Briley Loved her Gyro!!
