Crazy Life!!

Well August was definately busy, but good. We went on the bow hunt at the beginning and lots has happened since then! Me and the kids rode horses with the neighbors... Chance loved it and...

Kami didn't... haha.

I've had so much to post about, but my computer has been so slow. I got a stupid virus on it and ever since it has been impossible to get anything done on it. But I've been working really hard lately too trying to get my house in order. I think I finally have the energy and motivation to get it back in good shape. So I've been doing some canning with my mom and I got my storage room all organized and it is actually stocked up pretty good. I went through all of Chances toys and organized them. I chucked some too, since he has a way of ruining them. I have even been taking one room at a time and deep deep cleaning. I find stuff like that almost impossible to do with a toddler, so naptime is now my project time. It has felt really good to accomplish a lot of stuff around here.

But our best accomplishment was.... WINNING OUR BIGGEST LOSER COMPETITION! YAY! WE WON!!! If I haven't told you about it Dennis and Cortney and Steve and Me all did our own little biggest loser competition and it was really fun. We just had weekly winner prizes and we did it for 10 weeks. The winning couple got $100. It was a blast! It was a close race though. Dennis and Cortney held there own the whole time and it was really close! When we started out we were within a half pound of each other and at the end Steve and I lost 42 pounds put together, and they lost 37 pounds. So it was close! I am so glad we all did so well. That was over 10 weeks and we all feel much better. Steve and Dennis are continuing on in another competition. Cortney and I are both within 10 pounds of our goals, so we are just sitting the competition out. It has been so great to lose the baby weight so quickly this time. I didn't get down to this weight the first time until Chance was 9 months old and Kami is just barely 3 months old. So I feel great about it. Steve and I are even giving running a try! It feels good to push ourselves and do these things together! So that is our biggest news. Chance turns 2 next week. I can't really believe it! We are going to try him in a big boy bed... I'm a little nervous for that. I love the fact that he can't get out of bed. But it is time. After that Kami is going to her own room and we are going to have our room back to ourselves.

Kami is getting so big. She is smiling a ton now and she can lift her head so good and today she sat up by herself for a few seconds. Chance is crazy as ever, but he is learning to sing really well. He knows lots of the words to "I am a Child of God," "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes," "popcorn popping," and of course the monkey song! And he is doing really well at saying prayers. He can copy us really well, but on his own he says "hevly father, sank u day..... sank u..... sheesus chwist.... amen" Its really cute to hear it. He seems so smart to me, but I don't know if that is just because he is my little boy. But I sure love him! Well as you can tell there is a ton going on in our lives. Oh and one more Chance story... I went to get him after his Sunday nap last week and he had woken up and cried and went back to sleep and when he woke up again and I went to get him he was so funny. He said, "momma, my eyes... I Crine (thats how he says crying.) I dont wanna go to sleep again. (as he pointed to his pillow.) He is so funny! I love it!
