Aliya is Ten Months old!

I think that I have not been very good about keeping up on my month to month posts of Aliya, but here is her ten month pics just a little late!

I have actually lost count of what week we are on it may be week Ten by now. Anyway we are almost done with this phase and we have all reached the ten pound mark so I think that we did really well.
This week:
Natalie: 1.5lbs
Kara: 1.5lbs
Andrea: 3lbs

This is the only week that I have lead on the week weight loss! Although unfortunatly nex tweek will not be this good, I got too relaxed this week!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's day to all of you moms, grandmas, aunts, friends ect. It is wonderful to have you all in our life!
I thought that I would show off the gift that Derik and I made for our mothers. If you know me you know that I am not very crafty, so I am really proud to make something I feel like I can give to someone!!!!
Hope you have a great day1

Kelcee Graduated!!!

On the same day Derik graduated so did my good friend Kelcee! It was a lot of fun for us all to be there. Kelcee received a bachlors in interpretive sign. Awosome job KELCEE!

Master Derik!

Saturday Morning we went to see Derik walk for his Masters Degree in Business. It has been a long road for all of us, but we are so very proud of him. It was awsome to watch him walk and to see how few really reach this accomplishment, WE LOVE YOU!!!

Top Ten Percent!!!!

On Friday night we were invited to a dinner to honer the top ten percent graduating the college of business, and Derik was invited to attend. These are some pictures of him being inducted into the Beta Gamma Sigma (this is for good grades). We had a nice dinner with the other group members, GO Derik!!!!

Biggest looser Results

So it has been requested by a few to know who is winning and how much we have lost. I got those numbers this week and this is as of Tuesday:
Natalie: 10lbs
Kara: 10lbs
Andrea: 8lbs

So yes, I am lagging behind but as I said before I will be the comeback queen! (that is if Derik's graduation celebration and Mother's day and all that doesn't make me gain it all back!!!

Kids Say the Darndest Things!

Adelyn plays hide and seek and when she is ready she will yell "come found me MAMA I in the Chair!"

When Adelyn wants her sippy cup filled she will say "I need the sippy at the top of the Mountain"

When I asked Adelyn to do something she doesn't want to do do she says "I can't want to MAMA"

6/10/08 It was Derik's Birthday and we were taking him his birthday ballon. It was a really mindy day and the wind took the ballon right out of the car and Adelyn was really upset. Later that day she saw an airplane and the light just went on she said "we can get the balloon, mommy. Daddy can get in the airplane and go get the balloon!"

6/27/08 We were looking for a little toy of Adelyn's that we left in the car and I could not find it. She immediately told me that "Daddy can find it he has really big eyes!"

6/08 Anytime something breaks Adelyn tells me "it is okay daddy can fix it!" she loves her daddy!

6/30/08 After a long day with my two great girls I thought that I might srangle Adelyn and her constant demands. I was running upstairs for the 100th time and as I came back down Adelyn yelled "lookin good mama!" i don't know who she heard this from but it made me laugh and remember why I love to be a mommy!

9/29/08 I was showing Adleyn a picture of Derik and I when we graduated with our bachlors degrees. I was seven months pregnant with her and was showing her that she was in my belly. She being very smart said "and Aliya is in Daddy's belly!" LOVE IT!!

10/03/08 We often go out to the bus stop to send our neighbor girl off to school. Adelyn really wants to ride the bus and I told her that she will have to grow bigger. She now tells everyone that she is "going to grow big as a bus!!!"

11/08 My Sister-in-Law has been trying to get pregnant for about five years now and just found out that she finally is!! Anyway when she told us we were hopping up and down and making a big deal about it. Aldeyn went to preschool the next monday and they were talking about what they were thankful for and Addy said "I thankful that my Mom is going to have a baby!" We had to have a talk about who was really having the baby... it was really funny!

3-08-10 Adelyn asked me today if Giraffe's die. I told her yes, everything dies eventually. She said "do people die too?" Yes they do. "I don't want to die!" You won't until your really old. "Are you going to die before me" Most likely. "Where will I live then" She was starting to get upset at this whole concept. We had a big long talk about death and I tried to ease her fears...it is hard to explain complex things to kids!
