Sneak peak

We are re doing our living room and our kitchen. Out with the dark green and reddish orange color and in with nice new fresh paint. The painters are coming this weekend to paint and this week I am busy taking stuff off the walls and getting everything ready to be painted.

I have been busy though getting my craft on! I have spent less than $20 jazzing up some of our stuff. I am adding splashes if red, white and aqua into our living room. I have done some thriftily and found a lot of this stuff for dirt cheap. Just spray painted it and I am good to go.. Here is what I have been doing

New year, new me

This year one if my resolutions is to loose 10lbs. I am doing a biggest loser type contest with my MOPS group, and I know for sure I won't win, but I think it will be nice to have some motivation and encouragement along the way. A lot of moms have gym memberships and I used to. But with Damian's crazy work schedule and my OCD about other people watching my kids, I sadly have no gym. But now I don't need one! I bought this elliptical for $40. I am so excited. Last night I did 30 minutes on it while I watched Honey BooBoo. It sucked real bad, but when I was done I was happy I did it. I have done about 10 minutes so far today. Here's to me actually doing something with myself this year.

Happy New Year

I am going to try my hardest to actually be consistent with my blogging! We will see how that goes.

Baby Shaq

The first time we ever had Noah's foot measured we had our 17 year old nephew with us. Here we are in Stride Rite getting Noah's little 8 month feet measured. They were a 4.5 extra wide. I was shocked. Damian was shocked. And Andrew yells " Damn Baby Shaq!" The lady measuring baby boy's feet busted out laughing. So Baby Shaq has now stuck with Noah.
Fast forward to the present...
I knew Noah's 5.5's were getting snug. So I took him in to get measured. 6.5 extra wide. Do you know how freaking hard it is to find extra wide shoes?! It sucks. We finally ended up ordering a pair from Zappos and they are adorable. They match Damian's Sauconys too.
This boy has big wide feet. But aren't these shoes too cute for words?

Faith goes back to the ENT

Faith went back to the ENT today for consult to see if we need another set of tubes. They tested her hearing and her speech and she is perfect on hearing and better than perfect on speech. But the extra fluid on her ears isn't good. So she is scheduled for another set of tubes and to have her atnoids removed for February 18 at Dell Children's hospital. I am super anxious about how she will do, and mostly because Faith is a Drama Queen ( and the other part is her heart issues)! I love her dearly, but she gets really worked up about stuff. I don't know where she gets that from ;)

Please keep my baby girl in your thoughts and prayers...
