Lots of changes

Hi there! I'm in the midst of changing the colors, layouts, and heading of my blog. I was getting tired of looking at that super dark background! I love blue so that is why I picked it but I found something lighter. I felt like it was time for a change :) Also I changed the title. Previously it was "Cayden, Keenan, & Mommy too" but let's face it...when do I ever write about myself? Rarely. My blog will now be called what's it's really been about the whole time "The Adventures of Cayden & Keenan". Of course now that I wrote that I will end up talking about myself! Ha. Well let's see if I can get anything I have to say about myself out of the way.

Hmmmmmm....being home the past almost 8 months (minus two weeks), I've discovered I actually love to cook. Yep you heard that right. I love cooking! It's been so fun trying out new recipes and making up stuff. Eric is the guinea pig and he always says it's good. He's probably lying to me! Ha ha. I also love being a stay at home mom. I will have to go back to work by October and that kind of makes me sad.

I'm on a crazy new weight loss and exercise kick. A few weeks back I saw an old family member who I haven't seen in years and basically the rude bitch told me she couldn't believe how "big" I had gotten over the years. Nice isn't that? The conversation went on and on and I wanted to run away crying but couldn't do that in the middle of a party so I had to just look at her like she was crazy. Basically she told me I was a big fatty. Unfortunately she was right as I had seen my own image in the mirror the weeks before and was less than pleased. Thanks to her I decided enough procrastinating and let's get this into gear. Tomorrow marks 3 weeks and I've lost about 7 1/2 lbs and several inches. I've been doing at LEAST one workout every day. Usually in the morning but sometimes I'll do another at night. I do the video's 7 days a week and I try to go walking at night with the kids for an hour 5 days a week. I've dropped a pants size so that's good. Eric laughs at me mostly because I have never been one to "work out" but I'm so dead serious about losing this weight and I am DETERMINED. I'm in this for the long haul. I had about 30 lbs to go to get down to my preCayden weight but now it's more like 23. Woohoo. Although sometimes I want to punch his face in when he gets ARBY's like yesterday and proceeds to eat those yummy curly fries in front of me and I sit and eat a damn lean cuisine. Will power baby.

Tomorrow we take off for my parents beach condo in Wildwood. Eric will be staying home and working. Cayden is really excited about this trip (me too). My friend Carrie is coming down with her daughter Kennedy and son Carson and I'm really looking forward to it. You may remember the pictures I posted back in January when we visited them at their home in Maryland. Keenan was barely 3 months old at the time and Carson only 7 1/2 months old. Now Keenan is the one who is 7 1/2 months old and Carson just celebrated his 1st birthday. It'll be fun to see the boys get to interact this time. We'll be spending time on the beach and the boardwalk and after the kids get settled at night Carrie and I will have ourselves some drinks (or lots of drinks......LOL).
