Adam sinned too!!!!!

Ok so Luis and I started back on the low carb diet a few weeks ago. HE has lost like 12lbs or more, me? Well I didnt weigh before we started but I weighed like a week or two after and I was at the weight I last knew I was at, weighed again today, NOTHING LOST!!!!!! What is it with woman not being able to lose weight, are we cursed?? It's like dieting is not enough, working out is a must but do we really have the motivation or time? Time I have but the motivation is never there. Gyms are so boring to me, standing in the same place and staring at yourself in a mirror, oh yeah, that's entertaining! I try to walk everyday around the neighborhoods which I did today but I know I need more than walking. And you know doing videos at home aint gonna happen, you'd rather SIT and watch tv! LOL
Anyone want to give me some tips, suggestion or heck just some encouragment! ha.
I mean come on, Adam ate the apple too, so why is it women have to bare all the pain and excess weight, what do men really have to deal with (other than us)?

Ok off my soapbox, hope you enjoyed that one! ha

"Army Wives" the show and the reality

OH MY GOSH!!!!!! I dont know if any of you watch this show but OMG! Last night was the season finale and I bawled! And the ending totally left you hanging and it was so dramatic. Everyone was beind deployed so that of course was very hard to watch. This is such a great show though and I hate when seasons end, but at least new ones are starting this next month!!

Speaking of deployments, Luis is leaving in January. Meaning we have about 4 months left. He already had to pack a tough box last night to already ship off to Afganisistan. Apparenlty it takes up to 4 months to get there. Which means mail will be very slow getting there and receiving. I'm already very nervous, scared, emotional, and everything else you can think of. It's so hard to deal with this, especially now having a child and having Daddy leave for 15 months, i dont even know how to cope with being the 'single parent' this go around. It's always just been me but this time it's going to be harder. I do plan on going back to TX but the emotions are just crazy. Please keep us in your prayers. These next few months are going to be hard, but thankfully he will be here for the holidays which we plan to make extra special and memorable. Ok, I'm done for now but trust me, there will be many more of these sad posts.

More pictures from Amy's visit

Who's it gonna be?? I cant decide!

"So You Think You Can Dance" I love this show and tonight was an awesome performance from everyone. I am torn. I really like Lacey and Danny. Did not even know Lacey was Benji's sister, that family is talented! And Danny and Travis are adopted brothers! So cool. I know Sabra is awesome too, but on a performance level, as far as keeping me entertained I think Lacey has that personality more and Danny is just amazing too! Guess we'll see tomorrow night who the top 2 will be! Can't wait!

She brings tears to my eyes

Where is my camera or video camera when I need it? Luis and I were watching tv and Ashlyn was on her own with her Elmo of course and serious as could be trying her best to put a diaper on him, Luis and I just watched her and we both teared up at how adorable she is and how smart she is. I tried giving her a baby doll last week but Elmo is still her one and only. She gives him her sippy cup , snacks and tries to dress him and now put on a diaper. Think she needs a sibling? I know I have posted about Elmo before but this was just too cute to pass up. She is growing so much!
On another note...while Luis was gone I finally got her going to sleep without the huge crying fit and fighting. I rock her for a little bit then lay her down. If she did start to sit up and cry, I'd lay her down and firmly tell her to go night night, no crying , etc. And now she goes down like a champ. I hope I'm not jinxing this by telling everyone but I hope hope this sticks and we can finally just say night night and she go off to sleep. Now that that's accomplished I guess it's almost time for potty training, I want to start early so those who have done it or in the process please offer up suggestions.

A good weekend

Well things are back to normal now and it feels good. Luis got home yesterday and I'm so happy. Ashlyn is feeling much better now.

One of my best friends, Amy, who I met at Ft Stewart came to visit me! She now lives Hawaii but is in the states to visit family and drove to my house to see me! I have missed her so much and now we both have babies. Her baby boy, Connor, is 10 months old. I just wish we could live close by again. She was my sidekick through the first deployment and we'll always keep in touch and I'm thankful for her. Here are a few pictures from her visit, she has to email me hers so there arent any of the both of us right now.

Concert

Last night was a free concert to all military. Brad Paisley, Kellie Pickler and Taylor Swift. I only got pictures of Kellie Pickler, my camera battery died! And because of the kids , me and a girlfriend had to leave early so we didnt get to see Brad Paisley :( But it was so hot and getting late, and so is the life when you have kids! ha. But we enjoyed it anyway. Here are a couple of pictures.

Enough Already

She is still sick! Ok so I am a first time Mom so I may worry more than others but bless her heart, I feel so bad for her. Since Sunday she has had a cold. I took her to the DR today and they said I'm doing all the right things, there isnt anything they can give her and sent us home. That was a little frustrating. So she had her worst day so far today. She spiked a fever this evening of course after the DR appt and she was miserable. I couldnt put her down, she just layed on me, slept on me until about 830 and she came back alive but only for a couple hours, I just gave her more medicine and put her to sleep. I pray she gets better, I hate having my baby girl sick, especially with her Daddy gone, she really misses him.
