Football Fever
Jacob started playing football this year and he absolutely loves it. It is so fun watching him play! It makes my heart happy. I really do believe that Jacob is the best player out there!
He is great at defense and today he tackled the quarterback and caused him to fumble the ball. I am so proud! I dream to watch him play in college...hopefully OSU! lol
Here are a few pics, enjoy!
A few pics were during a really rainy/muddy day! He was a mess! Was not fun to wash those uniforms.

My new grocery store!
I went to the grocery store today! I really do love to go grocery shopping, especially when I am by myself. But that does not happen often!
Anyway, I went to Aldi's today and found that they have tons of healthy food! They have ground turkey, raw almonds, light dressing, 100% whole wheat bread, skim milk, organic soy milk, frozen veggies, fresh fresh and fresh veggies, light popcorn, 93% ground beef, frozen and fresh boneless/skinless chicken breast and tenderloins, frozen tilapia, and other fish, and tons of snacks that are a brand called Fit and Active.
I spent more that I thought I would, but I bought a ton of stuff.
93% ground beef was $2.99
bag of gala apples $2. 59
red grapes $1.48
broccoli $1.29
cereal $1.49
rice cakes $1.29
apple juice $1.19
almonds $3.79
pita chips $1. 69
light ranch dressing $1.19
graham crackers $1. 25
lite pancake syrup $1.49
cheese $0.99
tuna $1.19
dried mangos $1.39
romaine hearts $1.99
turkey bacon $1.99
bananas $0.89
light popcorn $1.49
ground turkey $2.49
fiber bars (like fiber one bars) $1.89
tilapia $3.99
green beans $0.49
baby carrots $0.99
fresh squash $1.69
l dozen large eggs $1.09
They don't have a large section of fresh fruits and veggies but they had everything that I needed and wanted today. And you have to bag your own groceries and bring your own bags or you have to buy bags for 10 cents each or paperbags for 6 cents each. And don't forget your quarter so that you can borrow a cart. Don't worry, you do get your quarter back when you return your cart!
I am back on the wagon today! Whooo Hooooo! I know I keep writing about how I am going to lose weight! I am going to do it! I promise you! and myself. It is time!!!

all my clothes are black
(sorry about the puctuation today, i only have one hand, gracie is in the other hand and maddie is on my lap.)
iv'e been really bad about posting lately...i cant seem to get enough hours in the day....too many things happening! jacob is playing football, allie started girl scouts, both started school, working full time and taking care of these 4 kids has me very busy!
anyway, i was doing laundry the other day and realized that every one of my shirts was black. every single one! i am hiding behind this color... hiding my fat rolls, hiding my emotion...hiding who i am. i am so tired of hiding. i have noticed through the years that i have become more introverted...my husband says i am snobby....i am not snobby at all....i have become this way because i am embarrassed.....embarrassed of how big i am. ughhhh! it is not a good feeling. hopefully one day i will become who i want to be. i need to believe in myself again...so...with all that i have on my plate, i add another...finding myself.

diet update
Well, it has been a challenging few weeks. I started out really strong, then life happened! With my FIL dying it has been an emotional roller coaster for me and my husband. I noticed that when he is having a particularly hard day coping with the loss I tend to make myself feel better with food.... I guess I am a big stress eater. When I am busy at work, the food that comforts me is a cheeseburger.....and some chocolate chip cookies.....Why does food make me feel better? Why do I comfort myself with food?!?!
Well, despite all that we have been through I managed to lose 3.2 more pounds for a total of 7.7 pounds. It really would come off faster if I followed the plan properly....I am surprised that even with all of my indulges, I have lost. It must be all of the calories I burn with breastfeeding.
I am proud to say that I am exercising at the Y and eating more fruits and veggies! and drinking lots of water!!!
Here's to a new week and moving forward.....and never giving up!

Gracie @ 2 months
My Gracie Jade is 2 months old already. I love her beautiful smile....the dimple is just gorgeous!
It is crazy to me that she can already sit in this bumbo seat. Not long ago Maddie was just sitting in it. Her 2 month check up at the doctor went great. She is now 11 pounds 10 oz! She has gained 5 pounds since I brought her home from the hospital.....it's no wonder because she nurses ALL THE TIME! but I don't mind.....these moments will not last forever......and I know that I just need to let things go......like the dishes and the laundry....I can do those things later....
