gone brown

I decided to go brown! Well I love my hair blonde but it was just to hard to keep up with since my mom doesn't live in texas. So I had to go back to my natural hair color at least until We move back to Az.

They grow so fast!

Well I was looking back at some of the pictures we have taken over the few years and realized how fast my babies were growing! It feels like just yesterday I was bringing my sweet first born daughter home. The shock of the fact that I know had to be in charge of keeping this sweet little girl alive was scary yet exciting! I remember every noise she made would have me running to her side. Always carrying the baby monitor around in my tiny apartment afraid that if I went to the bathroom without it she would need me and I would not be able to hear her. That feeling soon wore off though! She grew up and turned in to a very independent little toddler. Only needing me for food and kisses on her "owies".

Then when she was 14 months old we brought home little baby Maddox. After a scary two weeks in the NICU my little prince was finally allowed to come home with us. We were so overjoyed to have him home, Rian called him doggie and kept asking when he was going to go home. But she soon realized that he was "her baby" and then no one was allowed to touch him without her permission. ( she was a little over protective for a while). She couldn't say maddox so she called him ox, which fit cause he soon got really chunky and was big as an ox.

Now they are the best of friends always playing with each other and teasing each other and beating on each other. Rian is still my independent princess girl and maddox is my sweet little mama's boy, always in the mood for kisses and cuddles.

It is such a great blessing to be the mom of the two most perfect kids anyone could ask for. They bring joy and sunshine to my life every day. And I am great full for every day I have to spend with my babies. Cause they will always be my babies no matter how big they get!

In loving memory of Bella

Very sad day :(

Today we woke up to our sweet puppy bella having a small seizure. I rushed her to the animal hospital and they diagnosed her with distemper. It is kinds of the animal version of polio. she has a 25% chance of surviving this. she has now had one seizure every hour and there is no treatment. so basically have to sit her and watch my poor puppy die. Because their is that chance of survival the vet has asked me to wait and see if she gets worse before we decide to put her down. i cannot stop crying then the vet tells me that if she dies i can get another dog from the spca for free. But i dont want another dog! she is my baby like one of my kids. I just cannot imagine loosing her and it hurts to see her seizureing although the vet assured me that it is not painful jsut scarry. I hate this but i hope she survives.

Please please pray for our puppy. I just dont know how much more her little puppy brain can handle. thx.

Business is growing!

This past week my mom came out to help me start up the HCG weight loss protocol out here in Texas! I had a few in Arizona but since I am in Texas now I needed to market out here! So we had a BBQ and went to a bunch of different places and to Brock's school! So far I have three people on the protocol! One works for NASA and is in the city council and the other two go to school with brock. They are all getting good results and I am so excited to see how this all grows! Thanks mom for helping me!! love you
