Only because you are my sister of another mother.

Yes its me. I was caught climbing in the big toys at Mcd's and I had to accept the fact that my picture would be taken and I was also told that I had to post it on my blog. Its not a bad picture, mostly because LJ is "conveniently" hiding my flab. Thanks for the proof that I am still young at heart.

My life

Lately we have been consumed with Tyler which is totally normal and natural. But in the midst of that I have changed my focus. There are things that I try not to worry about anymore. People make choices. I make choices. I have a hard time with change, so in my head my baby is NOT 19 months old.
On another note. I went to the doctor a few weeks ago and he found another VERY small tumor. It is totally normal to have small fibroids, but in my case all I have know is my big boy charlie tumor. SO when the doctor told me I was normal I bawled. He asked me what was wrong and I voiced my concerns and he proceeded to tell me that my last tumor was totally abnormal and it was very rare for them to grow at the rate that it grew. Long story short, I am going in for another ultrasound in august to see if this itty bitty tumor (less than 2 cm) will stay the same or grow (Charlie grew to a hefty 8 cm). I will keep you posted as I try to consume my life with more things that are more precious to me, such as my husband, tyler and my friends and family.

My brothers

I don't know if you know this, so I will tell you. I have the coolest brothers in the whole world. I am so lucky that I ended up being older than my brothers, because then they would be able to pick on me more than they already do.
Louie is the best dad to his two beautiful girls. He lives in Arizona and I miss him all the time. We are not as close as I wish we could be but life happens. He still amazes me with the things he has overcome in his life. Don't mess with him, he will get you back. Matt and I have the best jokes between us that nobody else appreciates as much as we do. I laugh so much with him and have had alot of good times with him. He is an awesome uncle and he will make a great dad some day.
Chris, aka Bub, is not a teenager anymore. He is wise beyond his years and never ceases to amaze me with the things that he has dealt with. Chris turned 20 on Sunday and I remember when he first came to live with us. I loved his line "Ya'll are not my friends!" what a funny boy.
All I know is that I am very proud of my brothers and who they have become.

Pictures

There are alot of pictures that have been taken with our camera and most of them have been of Tyler. The pictures of me just disgust me and gross me out. I can't believe how ugly I look to myself. I know that there are parts of me that I like, my hair, my eyes, my hands. I see the fat in my face and on my body makes me want to delete all the pictures I have. This is one I like.

Tyler and I made Karl a birthday cake. It was Tyler's first real experience cooking with momma. He was so weirded out that I took the gate down and brought a chair in the kitchen, and THEN asked him to come in and help me. He was so worried he would get in trouble that he didn't want to even stand up on the chair. In the end the cake turned out GREAT. I was so proud of our work on the cake and Karl loved it. Happy Birthday Karl.

Weightly matters

I have done really good the past few days. I have lost weight more this week than I have in the last few weeks.My weigh in is not for a few more days but I check it everyday out of habit. Its nice that my jeans fit looser.

Easter Brunch

I just love Tylers hair flip... He looks like he just got out of bed :)

Tyler thought the best way to get what was in his bag was to swing it.

For Easter this year we went to my parents house and had a big brunch. I asked Morgan if she could take some pictures of what was going on and these are the ones she took.

This is the talented photographer.

My dad drinking my favorite soda!!!!

My Morgan got a picture of me in there too.

We had a pretty quiet Easter. The Easter bunny didn't hide eggs at our house because we forgot to get them ready. We did help Debbie and the girls with their eggs though. We hung out with Karl's mom on Saturday and then saw my family on Easter.
