Been awhile but hey!....UPDATES::::::::::::dun dun duuuuunn

Mad Mad Maddy has two toofers now and she is a crawlin' like none other. She's loving trying new foods and she is a dancing fool!! Loves music! Poker Face - lady gaga is her newest most favoritist song!!

Troy and I ended up going black friday shopping this year and we got ourselves a nice, new TV. And we are enjoying watching TV again for the first time in 2 years almost (old TV antenna outlet didnt work = no TV) So since our little girl is crawling everywhere and grabbing everything we think it is best to hang the TV on the wall. So that'll be our weekend project.

The pets are doing wonderful: Mya has become the greatest addition to the family since we bought her a shock collar (no more running away--BUUZZZZ!) Mocha is hooked on chasing lights and Lucky is still sleeping 24 hours a day lol....lazy one she is.

On the note of dieting I just had a brownie...shame on me.
And the part i'm dreading but it definitely needs done. We are going to try and wean Madison off of swaddling and her pacifier. My little boos boos has to learn the tough life lesson for a baby and figure out how to self soothe. But momma knows best and I wouldn't do it if I didn't believe it's for her own good!

For my health

After the long, difficult pregnancy with Madison and the painful recovery of the c-section my body has taken a toll. So, I am very determined to get this weight off!! Mya has been very helpful so far in becoming my beloved walking/biking buddy.
The number I am going for 153!!!

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Madison Kay!

And shortly after the wedding bells rang we found out we were expecting. We were thrilled! Couldn't wait to meet the bundle of joy!
Who knew she would turn out this adorable!!??!!
