Anakin is 1!!! and more!

As usual I haven't updated in awhile. We have had lost going on here and I definitely don't get much computer time now.

Anakin is 1 today! Ofcourse I want to cry! This is the last time we will have a 1st birthday! We will celebrate tonight with just the 6 of us and then have his big party Saturday with family and friends. I can't believe my little guy is one already! We got him a spiderman jacket to give him today and we are getting him a Spiderman toddler bed, but it wont be in until next week.

I love being at home again! I have started babysitting to help out financially and to give Piper kids to play with. I have 3 I am watching full time right now and one part time that I am not sure if he is coming back cause his mom quit her job friday. The 1st couple of days have been hectic, ofcourse the little boys are trying to see what they can get away with, but it will get better. I do miss it just being me, Piper and Anakin during the day, and its ALOT harder to keep the house cleaned but we will adjust. I like knowing I am helping out financially and not leaving it all on Stephen. I want to keep atleast one more, possibly two and then I will be making more then I was at genco.

We are moving sometime this month. We will be in the same complex but we are moving to a garden apartment instead of being in a town home. Jade and Starla were starting to scare me on the steps. They have both fallen down them! Plus it is set up alot better for a big family then the town home is!

About 7 weeks ago we started eating better, we stopped eating out, and a couple of weeks ago we joined the YMCA. Stephen and I decided we want to change our lifestyle and lose weight and get healthier. We have been doing really goods so far. I don't know exactly how much Stephen has lost but I can tell he is losing weight, he says his jeans are not as tight so he can tell. I have lost 13 lbs. All together so far. I can tell in how my clothes fit, but I can't really see it yet. Which is frustrating! I have stopped drinking coffee! My coffee pot is under the sink now! I bought some instant so I can have it on those morning that I have to have it to function! But I really try not to have it more then once a week. Chocolate is my other downfall, I have done really good with it too. I use chocolate protein powder, and protein bars and they have controlled my cravings alot! I drink ALOT of water now. I try to drink a gallon a day, but still have my days where I don't even close! We got a Crystal Spring water cooler so its ALOT easier to drink water then getting it from the tap.

Jade and Starla brought home report cards yesterday, they both did VERY good! I am so proud of them! They are both doing great this year. Rock Springs is definitely a better school then Smyrna Elementary was!
