KILL MEEEEE!!!

I'm so exhausted. I haven't been this tired since Braden was a newborn, and that was 2 years ago. Brendon's in the field, as I've said a million times before. I wish he was home. Braden got up at 3 am. YES, 3 EFFIN AM IN THE MORNING. I tried not to fall asleep, and I did and he ended up watching tv and then came in the room, and cuddled up to me in the bed. I feel horrible for falling asleep.

I kept trying to figure out all day why he was so cranky, come to find out... he has three more teeth coming in. Two on the top and one on the bottom. It's like wow. They're all coming in all at once now. When they are come fully in, he will have a total of 14 teeth. WOW. I remember when he got the first one at 14 months.


The snow finally tapered off, and I'm thrilled. We didn't get as much as most places. Can you believe Wolf Creek Pass got 43 inches of snow over the weekend? Amazing to me. There's a storm system next weekend that is supposed to be more potent. And here we are coming towards Spring when we are supposed to get the bigger snow storms. Not looking forward to it. I think Brendon will need to show me how to light the logs for the fireplace.

When we went to the zoo last weekend

 

Braden decided that throwing his arms up would signal a touch down. He also then screamed "toedowwww!"

 

snow from the inside of the rental car

Can it please stop snowing now?

Proud of myself

I'm about to be done with my first class with Ashford. I'm excited. My next class starts Tuesday. It's a little more difficult than the first, and involved a lot more writing and reading. Makes sense since this was a intro class.I'll know my final grade soon. I'm soo excited and proud of myself.

We're watching the Superbowl. Well, correction, Brendon is, I just cut Bolt on Netflix for Braden. He loves that movie.  Not much going on in our household tonight. Plus, it's snowing and has been off and on all day. Gotta love Colorado. I need to get out more. Friends? I need them. My only good friend is AWOL right now, and I am glad she's okay. Long story. And mostly for Braden's benefit. I'd like him to be around kids his age. We do play group once a week, but he's more of a follower, and we tend to go to places where Braden runs off and hardly listens to me. I'm trying to teach him to listen, but it's hard.

I bought two DVD's the other day, to help me workout. It's a Dancing With the Stars DVD and the Biggest Loser 30 Day Jumpstart. In total, I've lost 8 lbs! I'm also proud of myself for that as well.

I'm off. Braden is getting sleepy, and doesn't want to watch Bolt right now. Bed time he goes, and exercise for me.


P.S - if anyone knows some good blogs to follow, link them here please. :)

Our First Major Winter Storm

This was our first major winter storm for us since we PCS'd to Colorado. We had snow in October, and the last day of summer(sept 21), nothing this measurable. We've gotten at least 8 inches, a foot in spots. Yet, the NWS never issued us a winter storm warning, or a wind chill warning. The one is Pueblo needs some new employees apparently. They did issue a wind chill warning last night, where we could have gotten 30 below zero. We only had it -27. Close enough. We will be reaching highs in the 30s over the weekend, it's a welcome change. Considering the last week and a half we have been in the teens and single digits. Lows below 0. Yes, 30 degrees will do just fine.

Snow!

The snow is pretty, but we could do without the below 0 temperatures.
