Memorial Weekend

We had a great Memorial Weekend. I'm a little late (ya think) getting this out, but I had a busy week at work. Stacey and I met up at the gym Friday night to take the Moove and Groove class- at first we didn't like it, but then it got funner. So we will prob do that class again sometime. Plus you burn lots of calories. We talked about getting together that night to write some songs and play our guitars, so we did, but we didn't get too much accomplished, but we had a good time. Stacey wrote a song about 2 years ago that I thought was really good, so we revised it and ellaborated on it. We completed about 1/2 of the song. Da' Bob was in the cave, so he helped critique and stuff. It was funny. We ended up drinking and singing The Judds with the CD player- haha!

We had a last minute cookout on Sunday with family and friends. Jason got home around noon on Sunday. We ended up with 50+ people. It was a lot of fun! We showed the new National Treasure movie on the big screen outside. Lots of folks enjoyed that. We had some yummy food too. We played "catchphrase"- always a favorite. Overall it was a fun weekend. Poor Kelson hadn't been feeling good so she was inside most of the time and napping. It was AWFUL to see her like that. She's usually bubbly and happy, but not this day. Which was too bad cause she had lots of little friends wanting to play with her :( She got a good nights sleep and seem to feel better the next day.


Memorial Day- I bought Kelson a blowup pool from Wal-Mart, so I thought we would try it out. She LOVED it. Elliott- Louise's grandson- had a great time in it too. I got in with the kids too. It was a little bigger than our tub ;) It was fun watching her enjoying the pool- after the pool she took a 3 hour nap. We got dressed and went to see Uncle Jason and Aunt Sharee in Lacey Springs for dinner at their house. We had a really good time. It was nice getting a chance to spend some time with them and letting them play with Kelson. Plus Sharee is an AWESOME cook.


Dad and mom invited us over to eat before they took off to FL for a few weeks, so they made a yummy dinner for us. Kelson was eyeing the ribs so i let her knaw on it for a while and she was having lots of fun (and mess time) with it. Papa would lean in and act like he was gonna eat it and Kelson would laugh. It was cute. We had a great time with them before they left. We will miss em. Mom got some pics on her camera so I'm sure I'll post those later- those had more rib sauce. But I got some pics of Kelson eating papa's yummy ribs lastnight- good leftovers.

The Biggest Loser Blogger... Weigh Ins... Week 4

Its time for weigh in again. I hope everyone still managed to do ok (even with the holiday). I myself did pretty well overall. I plan on weighing in tonight. I haven't been working out this week like I should, but plan on getting back on track tonight or tomorrow. Next week I hope to have our weigh in all together in person (except the out of towners). Hard to believe that we are almost half way there. I hope you girls have enjoyed this as much as I have. Once again, LET'S HEAR THOSE WEIGH INS. I didn't have a chance to see who was in first since not everyone inputted their progress for last week. So make sure you ALL do this week so we can get some sort of track of how everyone is doing!



This week's challenge:
Skip having that soda at lunch or dinner and replace it with water

Congrats to Kyle and Renee

Kyle "popped" the question to Renee this past weekend. They are both very excited and can't wait to start planning (well more Renee I'm sure)hehe. Congrats to you both- marriage is so much fun and a lot of hard work, but definitly worth it.
I had mention to Kyle about my "prof bridal consulting" class (that I'm HALFWAY through with) and that I would love to assist in helping Renee with wedding details. I've heard that they may want a destination wedding (FL or beach wedding somewhere), so it may be a hard task, but I'm up for it. Esp since my sister lives in FL and could help with details. On of the points they made clear is that you have to coordinate/consult a couple of weddings for FREE before charging to build up my experience and portfolio for future clients. So hard to believe my little brother is getting married! She is going to be a great addition to the family. We needed a girl to pass on the Kolumbus name ;)

Poor baby!!!

Poor Kelson has been running a low grade fever (well I didn't think it was low), but apparently when babies run a high temperature its ok until it gets to 104 or 105. I NEVER knew that before. Since Kelson's never had a fever when she was teething before I wasn't sure what it was. Anyways, she was up and down all weekend- mostly high temp- around 102-103, so I called the pediatrician and they said she's prob teething- which I did see a little white speck on her top gums. So if she got worse to call them. The thing is- she never ACTED like she had a fever until Sunday. Since Belle Belle was sick before we left FL- I was wondering if she caught whatever she had. I gave her a little bit of Xango in her juice to help if there was infection. We switched between giving her Tylenol and ibuprofen. I also put some baby Orajel on her gums- which seemed to help. She was still drinking and eating like normal, so I knew it wasn't too severe. Well yesterday and this morning Kelson is doing MUCH better and her fever seems to be gone. i didn't notice that she was drooling quite a bit. So i guess it was just a teething stage. I just can't stand to see my bubbly girl not feeling well. We had a Memorial Day cookout and she wasn't her normal self and it just killed my heart. She took a 3 hour nap yesterday, so i think it helped. But I'm happy to report that she is doing just fine now!
