Happy BIrthday Shannon!!!!!!!!

To my beloved BFF, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! I know you probably have a fun day planned. Full of new experiences and daring adventures. LoL! Just try not to kill Nate or the kids, bypass the laundry for the day and try and take a long hot bath. I wish I was loaded so we could go on a massive shopping spree and I could take you to a fabulous dinner in New York or somewhere equally awesome. But , seeing as I am poor, You'll just have to settle for some pics! You know I love ya, have a great day!

Fun in the Sun!

Mr. Alex


Swing Baby, Swing!


Who, me?

Awwww!

Fun in the sun!

Work today was a blast! It was a beautiful day and the kids and I decided it was a good idea to go to the park. Well......the kids informed me it was a good day to go to the park! We had the best time and they were super awesome. On our way to the park we stopped at the store and had our picture taken. You can tell they could have cared less. In the picture, Carter and Erin are both chanting "PARK! PARK!PARK!" So off we went to the park. I make Carter and Erin hold hands that way I don't lose on of them. It is so cute! They just walk ahead of me and they talk each others ear off. I have no idea what they're talking about but I'm sure Carter is teaching her things she shouldn't know! We finally get to the park and off they went. Sliding, swinging, marry-go-rounding, tag and dirt playing commenced. Poor Alex, with his broken leg , didn't get to run around and do all the fun stuff but we had taken some toys , so he sat in the grass and played trains and dinosaurs. The best part about it was that when we left they were all tired and happy, which makes my job a lot easier! All in all, we had the best time and I'm so glad it's finally Summer!
Love YA, Jo-n-JO

I think I died.........

Well, I finally bit the bullet and started working out. I absolutely hate it and I never look forward to doing it. I am just not built to be an athlete. To much up top and to weak on the bottom! HA! I do have to say I have been impressed with myself though. I've been running and that's a big deal for me. If you know me you know I don't even run if a bear is chasing me. I'd just lie down and let him eat me. The farthest I've ran so far is 1.25 miles. I KNOW! Who knew I could do such a thing! However, I should have probably started out a little slower because since the 1.25 miles I've been so sore. If I knew it would hurt this bad I would have considered staying fat. But since I've already started I guess I'll keep it up.The funniest part about the whole thing is that when I'm done running, I just pass out on the porch. I bet the neighbors just sit and wait for the fat girl to do her daily walk/run so they can get a good laugh! HA! Andy took some pics so enjoy. I think they're pretty hilarious. My favorite one is the one where Carter is leaning over me to make sure I"m still alive! HA!

Finally!

I finally got a new card uploader so I can do my blog again. I know some of you have had withdraws and I apologize. I know it must have been hard to live without my clever and hilarious stories!

Carter has really been trying to use the big boy potty lately. Ever time I turn around he's naked. The only bad part about it is he keeps peeing and pooping in the floor. That's right, I said pooping in the floor. I've tried being patient and supportive but anyone who knows me knows I am not to good at patient and supportive! I was good in the beginning but as we go along the more frustrated I become. Ever time I have to clean up pee I start to twitch. I say "It's OK buddy, Mama knows it was a accident. Next time we need to go to the potty." But inside I'm screaming " STOP PEEING IN THE FLOOR OR I"M GOING TO KILL YOU!" HA! ( Just for legal purposes I have to say I would not really kill my son.) If you're a mama you'll understand my , what seems to be, insanity, LOL

The best part about this whole thing is seeing Carter in his big boy undies. It is hilarious and he thinks he's so big. He struts around saying " Look, I big" It cracks me up. I took these pics the other day. He's playing me a song and singing while rocking his undies and baseball cap. Which by the way, he goes no where without. I think it may be his security blanket.

UGHHHH!

Hi Everybody! Sorry I haven't updated in a while but I have had some major puter problems. ( That's my computer not my you know what!) It crashed the other day and we had to buy a new one. I asked the guy that sold it to me if I could pay him with one of my kidneys because it would probably be easier to heal from surgery than it's going to be to pay for this thing. Also when I bought it I didn't realize that it didn't have a port for my camera card. So I go to manually plug in my camera and can't find the blasted cord. So now I have to buy one of those. Stupid technology. All I want to do is show off my funny pics and make fun of myself but I guess you'll have to wait for that till I can hook for enough money to buy the cord. Ha! Keep checking in for some pretty funny pics of my fat ass trying to run and Carter in his ball cap and underwear. You won't want to miss it! I miss you all and hope I get to see everyone really soon. Now that I have to become a "Working Girl" to pay for the computer my schedule will be very busy so drop me a line anytime or come see me on the corner of Maple and Main.Ha!
Love, Jo-n-Jo

I have a job!

Well, it is official, I have a new job! Some friends of Andy and I, Jason and Heather Groce, have asked me to sit with their kids. Their names are Erin,4, and Alex,almost 2. They are the best kids, so well behaved and polite. They just play all day and keep to themselves. Carter loves going over there and playing already. And I love being able to take him with me. It is really good for Carter to be around other kids. Maybe he will start to understand the meaning of sharing!

Skinny Jeans!

I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT! I can actually fit into the jeans I haven't worn in 3 years! It is absolutely mind blowing. I guess you don't really notice how much weight your losing because you see yourself every day. I have been busting my butt lately as the deadline grows near. I simply can't let Tim or Andy do better than me, it was my idea ya know! I plan to lose a total of 92.5 lbs by Christmas so keep pushing me family!

To my dear Shan I say this, I have accepted that I may not catch you, seeing as you are a god at weight lose. But whether you win or I win, we should celebrate each others victory by taking a road trip to show off our new bods! East coast or west coast, you choose! We will stop in every town on the way to our destination just so people can admire 2 hot sexy ladies!
LOL!
Love Ya, Jo-n-Jo
