I Don't Care (and) Leave Me Alone..

Lol. So, this is my rant post about my weight. If this bugs you, move on... I know I'm far from obese, and I'm not really over weight, but, I'm the most I've ever weighed not being pregnant. I've been so unmotivated since Elyse was born. I've actually only lost a couple pounds since I had her, which is so, so sad... Usually after I have a baby I get right on a diet, do some type of exercising. I try to lose all the weight quickly, but this time has been different. I've been so lazy this time around. I don't know if it is because I'm now 30, or that I have four kids now, or that Danny's work schedule is completely weird! I'd like to go running, but I can't take all four kids with me and Danny is usually working or sleeping. I don't work out at home. I should but I find it so boring. If I'm bored, I lose interest. It's super sad, I know! I hate diets!! They only work if you stay on it. I have a LOVE LOVE relationship with carbs. I eat pasta almost everyday for dinner. I don't see myself giving them up EVER! I'm trying to come up with a healthy menu every day. Sometimes it's hard. Why is unhealthy so much tastier!   But, I have replaced breakfast and derssert with healthy protien smoothies. I usually have a bowl of ice cream every night after the kids go to bed, so the smoothie is a good thing! Oh Heaven help me, lol! So, I need to just go on a diet! I have a closet full of clothes that are too small. Blah! That is the end of this rant, though I'm mostly making fun of myself for being lazy and chubbby :/

Clark County Fair, Jonathon's third Birthday, and Spring Break

A whole lot has gone down in the past couple weeks! The week of the fair Alex went to the fair with his class on Thursday. I saw him around a few times and I felt really bad. I thought we were going to leave long before he did, so I had him stay with his class. Well, we were there longer than I thought we would be and I wasn't able to find him again to sign him out of school and let him stay with me. So, he came home on the bus. Friday was Jonathon's third birthday! He had cousins down from Utah and Texas, so they all celebrated with us by eating lunch, having an Easter egg hunt, and having cupcakes! When we left grandma and grandpa's house, Danny and Elyse took a nap. We went to the fair about 6:00! It was so nice and cool outside, not like the day before where it was hot and miserable! Alex, Cam, Jonny and i went on the Ferris wheel. Sitting at the top made Alex really nervous, Cam was just there, and Jonny LOVED IT!!! After the Ferris wheel we saw all the animals and displays. Elyse was loving being outside in the cool air! We were there until about 9:30, which is way past her bed time, but she loved it! Jonny did not so much... Saturday we went back to the fair to see the pig races. It's all Cam could talk about! He loved it so much! We also went to see a pirate show. We were all less than impressed. All of us except Cam, that is. He thought it was great! We didn't spend too much time there Saturday. It was hot and super crowded! Sunday we rested, doing nothing all day... Monday I let Alex and Cam stay up late to watch the blood moon eclipse! Cam only made it until 11:00, so he only saw the very beginning. Alex stayed up until 11:45, so he got ot see quite a bit, but he didn't get to see the blood part. He was bummed about that, but he saw a bunch of pictures. That was cool enough. I stayed up until 12:45, though. I kept peeking out my bedroom window to check it out! I did get to see the blood part which was pretty cool! There will be five more? blood moon eclipse's within the next 18 months, so he'll get to see one or more of them. On tues, we went to the Logandale park with cousins and friends. The kids had a blast! Cam and Alex had their first sleep over at Gandma Shacks house! They had SO much fun! They bug me everyday to do it again.. Wednesday was "Pizza Wednesday". It's our girls day where we go get pizza, sounds amazing, right? Well, it is! We decided that eating at the park with all our kids would be better than taking ALL of them to the restaurant. So, we ate pizza at the Overton park. Honestly, I dodn't even remember what we did Thursday and Friday... I think we hung out with cousins and stuff? Saturday I know we did nothing! It was nice just to chill.. Sunday was Easter Sunday. We went to church, and when we came home, Danny, Elyse, Jonny and I took a two hour nap. When we woke up we went to Grandma and Grandpa Bradford's house to do our Easter egg hunt. Our yard just really sucks... It was as fun and busy time! Do you ever feel like you need a vacation from your vacation? I guess I should say staycation, because we didn't go anywhere. I've had a really hard time getting back into the swing of things!  really just want to sleep in until 9! Yes, my kids also sleep until 9! We are not morning people around here.. I'm started to get excited for Summer.  I hate the heat, but I can't wait to play all day everyday for a couple months. Next year I'll have two kids in school, so it'll be weird. I feel like Summer is the last Hoorah, lol!
