on April 27, 2012. The previous owner was a HUGE hoarder, like HUGE. We didn't move in till about a week and half after we bought the house. It took that long to make it liveable and clean (don't worry we knew it would be a lot of work, A LOT). Our first night in the house was May 3, 2012. I went into labor with Paden, sunday night May 6, 2012 and Paden was born May 7, 2012 at 6:13 am. Two weeks early I might add (which was totally fine with me!)
Below was our first night home, exhausted and feeling a little overwhelmed... Well at least I was, Paden didn't have a care in the world...
I am so grateful that I got some professional newborn pictures of Paden. I didn't with Tate which I regret so much (there is no way we could have afforded it when we had Tate) here is one of my favorites.
My sweet Tate had to have surgery at Primary Childrens Hospital on November 9, 2012. Let's just say his manhood is not in total working condition yet. He has to have another surgery on April 16th of this year. Hopefully it will be the last and all will be well! This picture below was right after his last surgery. He got a stomach virius the same day as his surgery :( double wamie. He was a pretty sick kiddo!
With the house we have been in processes of cleaning, updating, painting, removing wallpaper (I hate wallpaper). We knocked out a wall on our main floor...

At first I was a little nervous about the outcome, but I LoVE it! Since then we have finished the sheetrock (well Casey and his Dad finished I just watched and kept the kids away from the 'wicked awesome' tools. Those are Tates words with any type of tools) and we have painted it chocolate brown. It is such a nice change and opens it up SO much!
Casey and I decieded a couple weeks back that we need to change our eating a exercise habits. We decided to do P90X. I started last Monday and Casey started today. Last monday I also became a BeachBody Coach. Why? Because I have started over and over and over again with P90X, I have gained weight that wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. I was tired of that and the only way I could finish P90X was to become a coach. It keeps me motivated, it keeps me accountable and now that the world (facebook and email, inernet is amazing) is knowing what I am doing I cannot fail. I am going to prove it to myself and the world that I can do it. If I can inspire people along the way, that is all that matters. I started a group on Facebook that is called "My Beautiful Body" well this week I am launching a blog that is called "My Beautiful Body" it is mostly my therapy and my accountablity of doing all that I plan too. Why it is called "My Beautiful Body" is because for most my life I have hated my body and thought it was anything but 'beautiful'. I have to let go and accept and realized just how beautiful my body is and love it at every weight I am at. I'm not going to accept anything less then my goals but I am going to love every step my body takes and know that I am beautiful at 245 (my heaviest weight) right down to my goal weight which is 145 pounds. Be looking for that blog, it'll come up this week!
I am determined to be better at blogging and recording a little bit of history in my life online, like a journal. Until next time (which will be soon!) Have a wonderful night!
