hey dawn!! so glad to hear from you :O)
OMG....Dawnie !!!
Hi Dawnie,,, thanks for sharing your photos,, all of them.. such a handsome family you have,,, gee abby is getting so big so fast... and standing...
How terrific to see you here :)
Your family looks so wonderful & getting bigger too
My how they grow so fast ::sigh::
Love all the pics & of the furkids
You my friend look fantastic!
Hope that means you're feeling it too & staying with it ..
In fact would be awesome to see you back on F & H soon
Take care & thanks for the great share :)
Which surgery did you have??? ((I'mguessing Lap-band?))
Hiya Pat, thank you so much...is it crazy how quick they grow up?
abby is just cruising but I know she can walk, she just "fakes" it all...if she knows we are coming, she instantly grabs something or just falls to the ground lol...my kindof gal, sneaky like her sis Katelynn
I have my up's and down's..somedays my body cannot handle foods, then other days it is all good..but I finally hit the 90% goal, I so cannot wait to get down to @ most 180 (my height is 5'10 so im supposed to be between 167-176)..I went from size 26/28's to now size 16.. somedays I cant believe its myself looking in the mirror
Bunny~it seems just like yesterday I had her and was crying to you ladies because I couldnt bring her home right away...shes def a momma's girl, as soon as she sees me(when she wakes up or i come home from the store) she starts shrieking and squealing..its so dang on cute...Yep Teddy (hes name after Roosevelt, that was the ship my dh was on when I met him) is a Rottie and shepherd mix...Spike is the same but I dont know if Teddy's features will grow into spikes or not...the funny thing is that Teddy can be as dumb as Spike(running full speed ahead and then bam, right into the wall..then 15 mins later do the same thing) then you see the german shepherd in him like Sadie..my protector.. We went to buy some new couches and the manager of the place had one of the pups and I instantly fell in love . So I ended up walking out of there w/ a brand new bunkbed Katelynn talked me into, couch/loveseat, and then 2 wks later Teddy..I am a glutton for punishment LOL
Suzan~~ How i've missed you, i LOVE your siggies!! let me tell you, Abby in 1 mo time gained 3 lbs and 1 inch..she is the size of a 2 yr old height wise...that kid just wont stop, the same w/ katelynn...I have a feeling all 3 of my girls will be at least 1-4 inches taller than me lol
I am feeling great say 29 out of 31 days a month...before it was only 3 out 7 a week, so big huge improvement thats for sure..right now tomorrow is my last day for my psy340 class and I am taking a 2 wk break..I actually passed my College 2 class w/ a D, and a B in my statistics class..not too bad.. the dogs get a long for the most part, they just get ticked off @ Teddy when he wants to play @ 3am and wake up the whole household, hes got the cutest bark and he mimics the other 2 LOL
Hugs, hugs hugs, what am I gonna do with you...I'm gone for a little while and you stepped down *sigh* I am just glad your sticking around..that is the truth about them growing so fast..my oldest is gonna be 17 in a few months..I am already having panic attacks with that one...I dont know what I will do when 2 of my boys are gone..I def will try and get back on that board now that I have a break ;) miss you lady!!
Cin~I got the gastric bypass done...lets see, my body stops losing weight and my body tries to play catch up on the shrinkage...my arms, thighs, and breasts are the only things sagging atm...but once I hit a goal weight and keep it for a straight year, they will perk up the gals and i want to go down toa C cup, I have always been a D on up...and whatever else needs to be fixed..I want to get it all done at the same time, I hate hospitals sooooo much...they scare the ptooey outta me
how have you all been? i miss hanging out but I asked for a few wk break from school..I just need it and have "me" time ;) I am doing pretty good in school, I think my GPA is 3.4 right now, so ive held it up at least...lol.. Not sure if you all remember or not, but my 4 yr old was diagnosed finally with Autism/PDD...so I was going out of my mind because I had school, house, kids(chauffeuring dh and the kids to school) The place kept putting her on the schedule without my knowledge, so I went to our doc and hopefully she will be @ this other place thats designated for kids only...plus they think she needs total 2 hrs a week (1 for speech 1 for occupation therapy)...the other place had us there Mon-Thurs from 930-1030 and it really stressed me out...so thankfully our doctor backed me up, put in new referal's and this place is trying to get a contract with tricare so the OT/ST can go to Katelynn's Pre-K on the base..that would be AWESOME!!!
thanks for the well wishes and compliments, I do appreciate them
What ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PHOTOS!
Hi Dawnie - wow the kids are growing - you have a nice looking family.
BIG WOW on you - how wonderful you must feel.
Granny to Caleb and Scotia
Dawnie, how great to see you!!! Your family is growing up and "our Abby" is adorable as always..great looking family!! Geez, girl, besides a covey of kids, a military DH and school, you have all those furkids to take care of too..and a new one!! You are AMAZING!!!
Good to hear you're doing well after the surgery and you look FANTASTIC!!! It must feel great!! Fun that you are a tall family too. I used to be 5' 8 1/2" and loved being tall. About 17 years ago, I shrunk 3 1/2" in one year. The doc's can't figure out why. I miss being tall.
Congrats on your GPA!! Hard work pays off!! We're proud of you!!
So glad to hear that Katelyn has gotten the right diagnosis and program. I have experience with bipolar and asperger's with some family members and that is the key to a better life..right diagnosis, right medication, right program and good
I am on my 2nd time of reading the books, I just got done w/ Eclipse last night lol
i am a HUGE fan, its so funny because I never have gotten into these types of books and now I want to read the Harry potter ones LOL
