My little Dragon!



This Halloween Arbor went as a Dragon! He looked so cute! He loved his costume and didn't mind wearing it at all! We had to say "hat hat hat" to get him to wear his head piece though! The Hat game is something my dad does with his grandbabies, he puts the baby on his head and walks around saying "hat hat hat".. Arbor loves it! We only went Trick or Treating to Grandma and Grandpa Allen's because he doesn't understand Halloween yet. We decided to give out full size canday bars because we weren't expecting too many Trick or Treaters. We got around 10! I actually ended up letting the kids take 2 each! I had way too much candy! It was a fun Halloween. I can't wait until next year when Arbor will understand it a little more!

Arbor's First Haircut!



So I decided Arbor needed a little trim because it was just getting too long in the back! I kinda messed up on one side but I think it looks pretty cute...

These are the pics!

New Family Pics!

We recently went to Orem for my Nieces blessings and for some family pictures! They all turned out so good! Arbor is so photogenic and such a poser! We didn't get an all of the family picture because it was just too cold for the twins! But hopefully we will get one soon!
You can see Arbors cute pics on his totsite. So go take a look and sign the guestbook too!

A little bit of venting...

So about 1 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. For info on what it is feel free to go here: http://women.webmd.com/tc/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos-topic-overview
It's been really hard but lately I am getting a little overwhelmed with it. My skin is terrible, my moods are crazy, I have no energy and my weight is out of control and I have really embarrassing facial hair. I feel like I am going to lose my mind some days..
I have tried to lose the weight but I always give up when I don't see results. I have no will power.
I think what bothers me most is that I feel like it keeps me from being a good mom. Arbor sits inside all day long and watches TV or just walks around the house. We rarely go outside because I just don't have the energy and I am embarrassed about my weight. I don't feed him very well either. He eats Mac and Cheese most days for Lunch and dinner and drinks alot of milk. It just breaks my heart that he has to live this way all because of me. I want to change so bad but I don't think it will ever happen.
I also feel like people don't understand what it's like living with this. I feel like it has destroyed my life but other people don't see it as being serious.
I get to go to the Dr. next month and start getting treatment for it and I hope it helps. PCOS is not curable but it is treatable. I really want to get healthy. I want to get healthy for Arbor and Johnny and for myself.
Well.. I feel a little better now that I vented a little... :)

New things!



Soo not much is new just a few fun little things.. Arbor is running around like the crazy little baby he is! I love to just sit and watch him play. He has started to pick up my cell phone and put it on the back of his head and say "Hi". It's adorable! He also likes to comb his own hair! He is getting so big!


We also got a new mattress! We bought our old mattress almost 5 years ago for 300 bucks.. It was in pretty bad shape. I love my new one. I sink into and sleep really good now! We also got new Bed Set. It's really pretty and I love it!


I finally got glasses. I am near sighted so driving and watching t.v. wasn't really fun because I had to squint to see! But I like them. I can finally see the speed limit signs! Ha ha good thing!
