Soccer kids!!!

I am excited the weather is warming up and soccer is starting. I love going to the practices and games. It gets me out of the house and gives me something to look forward to.

Jake is playing his 4th year I think. He is such a handsome boy. He is still not very aggressive. That is my Jake for you. I love his sweetness.

Jaycee is playing for the first time. She cracks me up. She just runs up and down the field, chasing the ball. Once the ball starts coming towards her she backs up. It is hilarious. She is so proud of herself and she waves at me 50 times a game. Gotta love my little girl. If I don't see her wave she gets her feelings hurt. I gotta keep my eyes on her. My kids are so funny. I love watching them in sports.

Bubba is going to love soccer too. He will be my more aggressive one I think. He is already good at kicking the ball and running. I think I'll put him in Kicks this fall. He will love it.

Happy Birthday Lacy!!!

I just thought I'd let you all know that today is Lacy's birthday. We all hope you will have a wonderful day. Thanks for being such a great friend. We've been friends for a long time now. I remember having a sleep over at your house on diagonal when we were in elementry school. I remember walking home from West Elementry and playing at Brit's house. I used to think you were so cool. ( I still do) In fact I used to always pretend my name was Ashley or Nicole Newby when I was little. Is that funny? You have always been a good friend. One who is never judging and always including everyone. You are so awesome to be around. You are so fun and hilarious. I will never forget all the times you picked me up in your car and we'd do drive by's while listening to Snoop Dog. Those were the days. Have a great birthday. I hope you don't mind me posting a few pics. These are the only pictures I could find of us together. I looked back in all my scrapbooks and here is what I found. Have a good one.
Love, Aleisha

7 weird or random facts about me...... hmmmm.

1. I grew up on a farm from age 0 to 11. We had cows, chickens, pigs and grew a huge garden. We made our own butter. Had fresh cow's milk. I remember scooping the cream off the milk. I remember making homemade cheese and putting it on crackers. It was yummy.

2. I love to stay up late. I love to watch TV or blog after the kids go to bed. I never get to bed before midnight. I wish I'd be a morning person so I could go to the gym early though. Oh well.

3. I have a hard time taking time for myself. I am working on it though and I am improving.

4. I want two more babies still and I don't know if I'll get them. I am so greatful for my kids I do have. They are the joy in my life. I feel lucky to have two boys and a little girl who I love with all my heart.

5. I love my nieces and nephews and have so much fun playing with them. When we have family reunions, the kids are drawn to Aunt Aleisha because I am a nut and act like one of them.

6. I love to be social and make people laugh.

7. I love to sing and perform. I can't wait to do another play. I dream of the day.

This was fun. It really makes you have to think about who you are. Maybe you learned a little more about me today.

Prom Tag (redone)

Okay I am just posting the same prom pics that I did but now you can zoom in on them. I saw AnnDee's, Lacy's and Allison's and it was fun to be able to click on them and see people better. I am brand new to the scanner world so it took me a minute to figure out how to do it. Check out Allison, AnnDee and Lacy's blogs to see their prom pics. They are so much fun.

I realize that some of them still don't pull up when you click on them but I cropped them to show them better atleast. Urgh. Don't you hate it when you can't figure stuff out?

You are tagged to post your prom / dance pics

This was so much fun to get out all the old photos. Here is some of mine. There were a few without Jason. Wow, Jason and I were skinny!!!!! The difference is... he looks better. Isn't that the worst? Jason definately gets better lookin.

Update

So...... what to write. I have been cleaning my house the past few days. I am doing some deep cleaning too. It is so unlike me but I like it. How long will it stay clean? Anyone want to make some bets with me? 2 days?, 5 days? a week tops? To stay on the safe side, I better not.

I have been going to Zumba aerobics class on Tuesday mornings. It is AWESOME. I am friends with the instructor and it is a blast. She said you can burn 600 - 1000 calories per session depending on how into it you get. WOW!! Love that. I have been only 2 times but it is kick butt. I love it. I have been slacking on the gym a bit. Only going 2 days a week or so. URGH!!! Something always comes up. Too bad I am not a morning person. It would be so nice to get up at 6am and get it done. Then there wouldn't be so many distractions.

As far as my diet.... I have been doing really good. I wish the weight would come off faster. I have lost 9 pounds so far. It is good but it all came off in the first couple of weeks and now I am at a stand still. I am glad that I keep going though. I really have felt ready and good about it. One of the really good things that I have done is I am making dinner for my family. I realize how much healthier we eat when I know what goes into the food. Jason is loving that. The kids are eating better too. All around it is good.That is my update so far. I am determined to stick with it and continue until I am healthy again. Yeah!! It is exciting. I am having a good day.

By the way..... Betty Crocker Mini Delights. It is only 150 calories for a molten chocolate cake. Microwave it in 30 seconds and it is warm and fabulous. It is small but it is delicious when I take my time and enjoy every bite. YUMMMMMM....

Have a Mini Delight when your in desperate need of a chocolate treat!!!!!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!

I was so excited to wake up this morning to this:

A huge Teddy Bear, real red tulips and some new slippers with lotions and bath stuff. The best part was the card he wrote with words that brought tears to my eyes.

From my sweet husband asking me to be his Valentine. All who know him know this is a huge deal for him to do this. He just made my day and I wanted the whole world to know how much I love him!!!! Thanks Jason. I'll love you always.
