Kade and I modeling in the Women's Board Fashion Show



The hospital gown I made for Leslie! Isn't is precious? Isn't she precious?



I'm baaaackkk! I know all of you readers (or maybe 1) have been frantically waiting this post. nah. Well, life has been getting better and better. I don't think it's necessarily the circumstances but I have been diving into some biblically based books and God's word and just trying to surround myself with positive things. I am blessed. Fall is in the air and I couldn't be happier. I just hope it stays. It makes boot camp a little nicer. Kade has started First Baptist preschool and he has some wonderful folks watching him the hours they are not open. He loves his teachers and is bringing home precious art work. I'll have to post some of that when I take a pic. There's really no way to catch up, but I will tell you about this past weekend. We went to see Playhouse Disney Live and the kiddo loves some Mickey Mouse. We came home and carved a Mickey pumpkin and made a halloween "Boo" cake. Sunday was a nice day and I strolled (much further than I thought) to the Greek Festival downtown for some yummy food. I love my weekends. Have I mentioned that before? I think I have shared a love song with you before for my weekends. They simply go to fast. Ga Tech beat the #4 team in the country. Congratulations to my little brother....the best runningback coach in the country. For any Division 1 team interested, please post a comment and you could be the lucky one to get him. West Florida didn't pull through, but we had fun wrapped in our blankets in the stands. Auburn, well, let's just see how they do next week.
Thought for the day: Who thought...let's cut a face or other objects into a pumpkin?

Well, last Wednesday I forgot to post my weight loss. What's that...1-0. Oh yea. However, I had a traumatic experience that I am choosing not to write on the internet that has really thrown off my meals. Therefore, I am starting back at the strict nutrisystem plan tomorrow. Everyone neeeds a little time off. Most of you know the story, but if you don't...we are fine. I know that ALL things work together for good for those who love the Lord...I know; however, I am really wanting to rush the "good". I am praying diligently for this, but I do have faith in knowing that God will take care of everything. He does not give us more than we can handle. Sometimes, we just go through trials to bring us closer to our Jesus. How else would He really open our eyes? If everything was perfect all the time, would we ever really feel that we need Him? Think about it. I don't think he intentionally puts us through bad things, but I do think he may "remove his blessings" from us from time to time so that He knows where we go to in times of difficulty. At his feet.

Who came to visit?

My friend named Weight Loss. Whoohoo. Another 3 down for a total of 8 lost! On my way to the cover of Cosmo. Friday is a big day. I am going dark with the mane. Oh yea. Let's just change up things. Why not? So, I just had to share my good news. Hope everyone is excited about 2 more days until a long weekend. I can't wait. More time with my special K's and FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!! Go Jags!





Goal: -33lbs
Total for week: -3
Total to date: -8
25 To Go!

Wizards, anyone?

Ok, so I don't have a girl and I don't have a child old enough to really care about the show, But, I LOVE Wizards of Waverly on Disney. It's just precious to me. And, guess what....that's right! The movie came out last night on Disney and I am set to record it tonight. Can't wait.


So, Kade is still a little sluggish. He has a slight temp and yucky yucky nose this morning with a HUGE surprise from the diaper monster this morning. Stuck inside on a weekend. Well, except for the bike ride downtown this morning. I know it was pushing it to take the little man out in the heat, but he didn't mind. We rode all the way down to the water and strolled through the Market downtown. I love Pensacola. Then, we headed to Sonic to get some ice, but the K was out like a light the second he hit the car seat. What is it about car seats? Later, I headed on out to the A&E Fabric store and, oh my goodness, it is spectacular. So overwhelming though. I did buy some fabric for a few things though...surprise. Will post pics once complete!

Tonight, Grammy is coming over to visit, so hubby and I make even sneak away for a movie or something special. We'll see.

Seriously, sick again?

Well, Kade stayed with Kevin or my mother all summer long. Not one, I repeat, not one time did he get sick during the summer. However, the first day Kevin went back to school, Kade ran fever and had to stay out Monday and Tuesday. The following Sunday he got a fever again and stayed out Monday and Tuesday (thanks to my dad for taking off Tuesday for me). Now, all was well, and this morning they called and said Kade projectile vomited twice and I had to come get him. Yuck. Three times in two weeks. Well, here's to the start of my weekend. This beautiful weather and it looks like we will be stuck inside. I mean, he doesn't really act all that sick, but he's not eatin good. I also ran in to one place and he started like he was gonna yack. Somehow, he kept it down. I had the bag ready. So, we will not try to spread our germs around town this weekend...off to bed we go. Or, just hours on end of "Baby Boost". He's obsessed.

Shrinkage

Weigh in day week 1 was fun. 5 lbs disappeared from my physique, and I'm super excited. Only 28 to go. Woof. Seems so long, but it's one week at a time now, or one meal at a time really. It really hasn't been hard. The food has been really good, except for pasta alfredo with brocolli (gag). The desserts are yummy, of course. I won't bore you with it, but I did want to share in my excitement. "I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me".

Kenny P talked me into running the 1 mile for Corporate cup games in October. I am a very slow runner, so this worries me a bit. I usually run between a 9 and 11 minute mile, depending on the day and the mileage. Very slow. My goal, however, is 8 minutes. I mean, it's just one mile, Tara. Geeze. I ran around the track today as Kevin timed me. I can do a 1/4 mile in 2 minutes, but not 4 times consecutively yet. I'll get there. I'm just repeating my verse. Holla.

Movie Quote (haven't done this in a while):
"It's a regimine, mom, like doing situps"

Solo at the cinema?

So, today I realized that I need to go to the movies. Kevin has plans, Kade is going to Grammy's house. Therefore, Mommy needs some me time. However, I can't think of who to go with...so, I will go alone. If you've never gone to the movie by yourself, you should try it. No one will whisper in your ear during a scene you don't want to miss. You can down a big fat diet coke without someone saying "can I have a sip". The popcorn will have to hold off, since momma's on the osmond plan. Therefore, I'm going to see that Julia movie. Can't wait. It was a beach morning with Kade, a good nap for the youngster, a little house cleaning, a joggaroo and then the movies for me. Yipee.
