random....

We had such a fun 4th. (or 3rd)
We went to the cherry days parade in the morning, headed over to the park for about 2 minutes,then Scotlyn threw a major fit, then went home for a nap!
After she woke up and was happy again, we played at the Fronks. We always have a big water day. But it was kinda chilly, so only the diehards played in the water... I was not one of them!

So when Scotlyn wakes up from her nap and we ask her if she is happy again, she just says happy happy happy happy over and over. Cracks me up.

random, but back to our 4th....

after water and Souvlaki(which is pretty much to die for) at the Fronks, we went up to Weber High with the Toyns for the fireworks. Scotlyn loves hangin out with all her cousins.So she had a way fun day. Molli is a champ, she pretty much just chills, and then when she is done with that, she sleeps.
As you will see in these pictures, my kid does not stop eating, she loves it. No matter what it is, peppers, avacado(that is smashed up for Camden), cookies, rice cereal(once again made for Camden, and that is made with Chelsies breast milk!!!) ANyTHIng!!

Waiting for someone to throw her something to eat....



We had a fabulous 4th. It was so fun. Thanks to our fams that make it so fun...




Well Scott is old and he had his 10 year reunion last week.... Ok so he is not old, but kinda!:)
We had a good time. I pretty much just sat there with the other wives, we had fun. Good people watchin. I didn't even really see Scott, he would take one step and another person would want to talk to him. This happened for hours, so I just gave up trying to stay by him. I'm probably a bad wife, but I didn't know any of the people, and if any of you know Scott, he reminisced about old times from 6th grade!!!He was crackin me up, he asked a girl if she remembered him being mean to her in 6th grade, and then he proceeded to tell her how sorry he was.! She looked at him like, I don't remember that, but thanks I guess! HA!
I kinda felt like a politicians wife, I just stood there and smiled! So this is us that night....

Ok so now for a totally different subject.
HAWAII... No I have not gone. But I will.
SO this is my goal, I figure if I put it out here for my little world to see I will be more apt to doing it.... So I asked Scott if he would take me to Hawaii if I lose 50 pounds!
So 5o Pounds by Next Year...
So I joined Weight Watchers. I am going to do it! If any of you have any suggestions for me or have any good work out plans, anything... Share the wealth.
With weight watchers, since I am nursing, I get 41 POINTS!!! That is ALOT of points! I have a hard time eating all of them. But hey that is the kind of 'diet' I like! Week one I lost 3 lbs... hopefully I can keep it up.
I even started a Hawaii fund that will automatically come out my account. Hopefully all of these thing will motivate me to really do it.
Speaking of nursing, Molli is a great eater for me, but she HATES the bottle. I have tried different types of bottles, nipples everything. She still hates it. So I feel horrible when I go to work and she screams for whoever is trying to feed her. I know a lot of you are moms out there, HELP ME PLEASE!! I am not sure what to do.
By the way... she is sleeping through the night!! I forgot to post that, that is more just for me to remember. She did at about 6 weeks. She was not as consistent as Scotlyn, but she is doing great now.
K I am done with my rant and randomness....
Thanks for your patience!

The picture of you and scott is so cute, you look so good, My advice on the bottle would be to try and see how fast she is swallowing when she is nursing and find the right flow of nipple on the bottle, usually they don't like the bottle because it either comes out to fast or too slow. Also make sure the bottle milk is the right temperature, usually breast milk is room temp when it comes out and usually people make the bottle too warm. let me know if any of that helps!! Your family of four is adorable!

Ok Mack was a little fart when it came to taking a bottle too. I ended up with the Playtex drop in bottle with the Latex nipple slow flow. I think he liked it because it was more like the "real thing". I had to turn him away from me and so he could see me and then he would take it. It took him a week or so to take it really well. I hope that helps!!

That is a great pic of you and Scott- You look so cute! I love your Hawaii goal! (if you need advice on what island to choose, and what you must see there let me know ;) )

And as far as advice i would recommend looking into P90X- Cody just started it and is an amazing workout- (you have to do the nutrition part of it too with lots of protien and after work out drinks ).... I can't wait to do it after baby Ostrup get here this winter :)

Chelsie said...

Nicole Beeton said...

Love all your cute pictures! I wish I could give you advice on the bottle feeding, but I haven't been able to experience that one yet! Hopefully someone willl have the perfect advice for you. The Hawaii vacation sounds awesome. I'm so jealous! :)

So many comments...

-The picture of you and Skank - so cute!
- I can relate to Molly and food. If anyone else tags me in a friggin picture on FB and I am eating, I am going to cry!
-Ross wrote the random comment about chocolate milk in the bottle on FB. Oh my husband.
- I secretly wish I could have gone to that reunion. I think I had more friends in Scott's grade than my own....or people I wanted to be my friend. Who knows?!
-Jillian Michales DVD's are the bomb.com if you are going to work out at home. Start with the 30 Day Shred and then add Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones. Or are you doing the gym thing?
- Don't ask food advice from me though when it comes to losing weight. Please refer to my second comment. :)

What cute girls! Isn't it fun to have girls- I don't think I would even know what to do with a boy now. That picture of you and Scotty is sooo cute! I wish I lived there because I am in desperate need of a hair cut and nobody does it as good as you do!!

I lost 35 lbs. is less than 4 months and it was NOT HCG. Give me a call and I will tell you what it is. I am still losing and my goal is to lose another 30 lbs. Lost 65 lbs. in the last year.

Clint and Sheri said...

Oh what fun! A water day sounds so fun! I want to start that tradition. Oh my word you looks so beautiful in that pic of you and Scott going to his reunion. I love it! Man how I HATE the weight loss struggle. I think that is awesome the modivation you set up. I have been "trying" to loose about 15 pounds for the last year before I get pregnant again....I loose a few, and then gain them back..and now it's time to try to get pregnant. Makes me so sad. So..on that positive note.. don't give up! I hear weight watchers is awesome

The Mrs said...

I saw Chelsie's disney land post, and that pic of Brandon is hilarious! What a nerd! And Scotlyn being freaked by the characters is so dang funny! The picture of her is classic! And the picture of her snoozin' like that in the car, oh my gosh funny!
I love the black and white pic of Molly! What a sweetie!
Your mom's a hottie in her swimsuit!

You and Scott look so cute at his reuion! And you go girl, with the Hawaii goal and all! Good luck! What a sweet reward to look forward to!

Oh so me and Chelsie have become friends through blogging and because she knows sheri too, and we think it'd be fun for us four to get together! Good time for sure! Maybe we'll bring the kids swimmin' at my mom's or something!
