What we've been up to..

This post may be a little random and I may seem to be rambling on because frankly I'm just going to type as I think of things. 
I can't really remember where we left off.  I know that I haven't blogged much lately and quite frankly because the last few weeks have been a blur. 
Tomorrow marks 1 month since Kevin's return.  I can't believe all that has happened in that month.  We've been busy busy busy!! 
We started taking the girls to a "Wiggles and Giggles" class that they LOVED.  It was a class for children 10 months +. They would sing songs, play instruments, do obstacle courses, jump around, etc.  It was so much fun.

This year we hosted our first Thanksgiving.  Kevin made an AMAZING turkey.  It was the most delicious bird I have ever tasted.  We worked together on some killer mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie as well.  Mmmm it's making me so hungry thinking about it.  We were so caught up in the day that we didn't even take any pictures!

The weekend after Thanksgiving, Kevin and I celebrated our 3rd wedding Anniversary in Kansas City.  It was so fun and a nice getaway.  Unfortunately that same weekend, my Grandma Jolly passed away.  I was absolutely devastated.  I still can't talk about it much without choking up, so I most likely won't blog about it much.  She will be greatly missed.  I still can't believe it has all been happening.
Because of her death we traveled to Illinois for the visitation and funeral.  Although last minute and certainly not financially planned for, I am so glad that I went.  I definitely needed to be with my family and in a way it was better for me to "accept" her death by being there. 

So that leaves us with where we are right now...just trying to relax.  We got home Sunday afternoon and will pack back up on Friday to be on the road again.  Next stop...Branson. 

I am hoping to try and keep up with this.  I'm finding it hard to be motivated right now.  Not just with blogging, with everything.  Remember the 50lbs (Actually 56lbs) that I lost over the last year..well that has slowly been creeping back on since Kevin's return and the insanity that has been the last month.  Lack of exercising and eating fast food/ on the go has not exactly been the best for me.  I hate to think we'll be on the go go go this next month. I hate to see it creep even hire.  Ugh!!! I guess there are always "New Years Resolutions" !!

Anyways--Someone ...and by someone I mean my dear darling husband decided that giving our two year old a cup of Mt. Dew at supper time and she has been bouncing off the walls ever since.  It's 9:30pm and she's still going strong. We tried to put her to bed with no luck...It's gonna be a long night........
