Blocker Boys On the Go!

     I know I have been totally slacking over here.  So this post will be a run down of what is happening in our world.  We have been totally busy doing an array of different things.

     Since my last post on my birthday we have been of course tackling the normal everyday life.  We are contemplating what to do if hubby is on the ship for Christmas.  This is a huge discussion that we both sat down and talked about.  I was actually amazed by a few responses we got when people were informed of the upcoming decision.  I got several questions related to the stability of our marriage.  Really we are fine I love hubby to death, and this is just one more thing that military families have to cope with.

     With the looming holidays and no daddy/hubby we are moving all of the holidays up this year.  So this coming weekend will be busy at our house.  We will be having K2's first birthday party and Christmas all on the same day.  We will wake up as a family pretending it is Christmas morning.  Then we will roll into the first birthday festivities.  There will be tons of food and fun to be had by all.  Of course no one has RSVP'd to little man's birthday so it may just be a family event.  I think the sister-in-law and her family will be coming, but they just decided not to RSVP based on the you know we are coming rule.

     I have been following my work out schedule everyday, and I am stoked to see the results in the mirror.  Next weekend is also a measurement weekend for my fitness goals.  It will be exciting to see how much progress I have made.  I did step on the scale for my 30th birthday, and was happy with that result.  Just since I have started my Insanity program I am down 5.5 pounds.  Since I have started eating healthy, and increasing my fitness I am down a whopping 16 pounds.  The measurements will just be icing on the cake since I can already see results in the mirror.

     I think hubby is getting on board with health and fitness improvement since the Navy is evaluating him for high blood pressure.  In his defense he does work in a high stress environment, but he also has some bad habits that are not good for his blood pressure.  Hopefully he will stick with it, and reach a goal while feeling better for doing it. 

     As for the kids K1 is in love with talking on the phone, and playing all the game apps that are on my cell phone.  K2 is coming into his own little world, and trying his best to walk.  Both of the boys are into anything they can reach.  Being a good big brother also includes giving the little man anything he can not reach on his own. 

     Let me know how your family is preparing for the holidays.  What will you be doing that is special this year?  Do you have a tradition that you share with your children each year?

     Well turns out I was exhausted when I got up today.  So much so that dealing with K was not on  the list.  So I got up gave him a bottle and tried to play with him.  No luck so I put him back in his crib to play, and crawled back in bed for a little bit.  He dealt with that for about 30 minutes.  So I got up we went downstairs for some baby mush, and then he toddled about in his walker for a little while. 
     Then we got hubby off to work and K down for his regularly scheduled nap.  I do a little straightening up in the kitchen.  Now I intend to lay down for a little nap myself.  No luck as soon as I get comfy and lay down.  Guess who gets up!! So i get the wee one a bottle, and procede to entertain him.  Then the best thing happens.  Hubby gets home from work!!! (throw little happy party)  Thank goodness the work days on Saturday are short.  So hubby and K go down stairs to hang out.  You know what that crazy kid stayed up 30 min ate a bottle, and took a nap for his daddy!!!
     So after about a 2 hour nap I am feeling much better.  Not on top of the world mind you, but better.  Sure enough I am up 20 minutes, and baby gets up.  Anyway my patience for the little guy was pretty much zilch all day long.  We made it through the day, and no one got hurt.  I do plan on leaving the guys alone tomorrow for a little just mommy time.  Also working on a mommy and daddy night out!!!  Hoorray for church nursery in the morning.  No little guy for an hour!!  Some times I feel bad when I get so excited to leave him, but hey mom's need a break too!!
     Still working on getting everything together for the cooking, recipe blog.  I decided on a name "Kitchen Mixing"  very fitting I think.  Now off for a little relaxation and reading!!
