yep, I am taking a break from blogging. I know I do have some followers but I just can't seem to keep it up. So, I am going to be working on a family website that I will update once a month with pictures, videos, etc. So, if you would like to be included in receiving the web updates, send me an email and I will add you to the distribution list.

Goodbye for now.
a majority of women would gasp if they were asked the following question:
"What do you weigh?"
GASP! Well I am going to answer it as today is the start of my after baby weightloss journey. I, Carebear, weigh 233.2 lbs. Luckily I have height on my side (5'11) and my body carries it better than others.
My goals for this week:
**Walk at least 30 minutes everyday
**Drink water - this one gets me everytime
**Eat fruit and veggies
Wish me luck!!
Okay, it has been forever since I posted so this entry is catching up on what we have done the last month.
Dean Hanging with his brother
4th of July Weekend was filled with homemade pies and pool time
DDT's 1st Day of School
Checked out the OC Fair with our newphews and DDT. We rode on lots of rides and had lots of yummy treats which included deep fried snickers and reeses. We also had a taste of fried frog legs.
is complete.
We welcomed Samuel James Hill (aka Squeaker/Toots) on June 11th at 11:42 am. He weighed in at 7 lbs 7 oz and was 18 inches long. I had a scheduled C-section and have recovered quite well.
DDT has been adjusting well and loves to give his brother kisses/hugs. My awesome husband has been amazing as well. Since I am strictly pumping and bottlefeeding, Panda can help out with the feedings. Luckily with Panda's job he was able to take lots of time off to help out. He doesn't have to be back to work until August 5th!!
Engine 1 stopped by to wish me luck -

that we add to our family!! I am starting to get nervous but know that everything will be fine.
Will keep everyone posted!
(I am hoping they have internet access at the hospital!)
way before I was preggers, Panda and I agreed to kidsit for his brother while they go on a cruise to celebrate their 20th anniversary.
Well, it seemed so far away but it starts tomorrow!! We are going to be parents to a 15yo (boy), 13yo (girl), and 11yo (boy) until June 1st. As with many kids this age, there are many activities - tutoring, water polo, baseball, choir, etc. Then we also have our own appts for the pregnancy, DDT's therapy, wedding, etc.
My one fear is going into labor while I am at their house, so I am going to be packing a bag just in case.
God help us and please let us survive this week and 1/2....
this was in the Village police blotter:
Monday, April 27
8:21 a.m. 2000 Block and Zell Drive - Welfare Check. Three crows are attacking a cat in a tree. The suspects were gone on arrival and the cat is fine.
I love the village!!!
my folks very generously took the family to Disneyland on Tuesday and DDT had a great time! We invited Rabijay as well so that Panda could go on adult rides as well. Long day but DDT did great.
we ate dinner tonight....Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point, just a few minutes from home and it was beautiful!
in the hot weather thanks to a little, yellow pool.
Hankers trying to stay dry, thus hiding in the trees. Although take note of the buckets and wet spots in the dirt, the kid tried and tried:
Begging to come in the house and get away from waterboy:
finished with DDT's room. We have a couple of finishing touches but it is completed enough that DDT can sleep in his big boy bed. Last night was night #2 and we didn't hear a peep from him.
Here are some before pics, take note of the bamboo growing in the wall...Thanks to my hubby and Dirk for getting the new windows installed, especially where no window existed at all:
Here are some after shots:
Yes that is a gun, a Red Rider BB Gun to be exact...I know, I know, he will shoot his eye out -
Panda is going to build some doors with metal and paint w/chalkboard paint to cover the cubby holes-
Big Boy Bed-
A HUGE THANKS to my hubby for working on getting this room completed sooner rather than later. All of his days off went to working on the room and it is awesome!
