Brayden's cake

This is a cake a made for a party today. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. I needed to put some rods in it to keep it from slipping but that is alright we will just take off the chest and fish them out. They can just eat the bottom. I did mess up on the writing because I put for in stead of Four because I thought he was turning 3 till I read the invite again so I changed it.

I am at the end of my rope with the kids and sleeping. Jaxon came in at 5am this morning which means KK followed him. Then they fight because someone is touching someone else. I get up to go in their room but they scream and cry. I have tried walking them both back to the room but they don't stay - so we have all been up since 5am and I am not happy! I told Jaxon I was going to take away his pirate bedding if he did not sleep in his room (he does not use covers so I really don't think that is going to work)
to top that off my bed is killing my back! Fun FUN

Jaxon singing

I just love this song! Last year he would mess up the spelling but this year he got it down. You can go to youtube.com and rate it!

over due updates

We had a great weekend! Saturday we went to some friend's house that have a pool and had a crawfish boil. Lots of fun. The kids did not want to leave but once we did get them in the car they were asleep before getting back to the main road!
Sunday we had them and our neighbors over for dinner. Tried out a new Cosmo drink I had found all three women agreed it is a keeper! The kids a a really good time also since they each had a friend their age to play with! There was no yelling and very few arguments.
Jaxon started swimming lessons today and is very excited about that. He really likes his teacher.
The study is still going good. I messed up a few days last week with the Calorie count but I did not gain so that is good! Beer and Cosmos add up fast!
The only thing I have noticed is I seem to forget things a lot more - My brother Bobby seems to think that is age not the pills - OK I am only 2 years older then him come one.
When you ask Katie her name she tells you KK. I asked her do you want to be called Katie and she said no KK, she even told my Mom the same thing today and when my Dad called her Katie she told him no KK. Funny how they tell us this at such a young age! I did sign her up for another school this fall. I have not pulled her from the other one but with gas prices it is just too far plus the new school is 15 minutes from my house and 5 from my Mom's house so she said if I need to be some where before 9:30 she will just drop her off and/or pick her up since she is right there, where at the last school I would not ask her since it was an hour round trip!
Anyway here are some pictures from Saturday. Enjoy

6 lbs gone

Just to let you know I went in today and I am down 6lbs in 2 weeks. I actually did really bad last week on a couple of days. I made a mistake on the calories one day and did not realize it till today. But Still I am down!! Blood pressure and pulse still look good. If this keeps up I will need new clothes for Mini's wedding!
Things are going really well. MOther's day weekend was fun - Emma's party then crawfish for Mom's day. Sunday my Dad cooked lunch for me and my mom - even made the kids plates! Then we went to a B-day party that afternoon. So busy fun weekend!
