Update!

Okay lets see.... What's going on with us?

RC is doing great. He and I are doing Weight Watchers to get healthier and become better bike riders. Since March 1st - He has lost 44 pounds. Just wait you guys thought I talked about how hot he was before.... Man you should see him now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me - Well I am doing alright. A little on the tired side but that could have to do with the fact that I have 3 boys all under the age of 5. If anyone ever tells you that having all boys is easy - I give you full permission to smack them on my behalf. I am still training - Not as much as I should be - but still training for the bike ride the end of Oct. I am also doing the weight watchers and since July 15th I have lost 10.8 pounds and am down a pants size. I actually put on and wore a size 10 on Sunday.

AC - he is growing like a weed and has an amazing mind for music. He can hear a song once and I will find him singing it later word for word. His favorite singer is Dierks Bentley. He can list off his songs and I catch him singing these the most. (For those who don't know Dierks Bentley is a country music singer - He sings (wait I gotta ask AC) What was I thinking?, I'll settle for a Slow Down, Every mile a Memory, and Come a Little Closer. Yes these are the songs my son just listed off.) He amazes His daddy and I more and more everyday.

Trace- He is POTTY TRAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He went potty for the very first time last Monday for his Grandpa (yeah for Grandpa because the rest of us couldn't even get him interested), then on Thursday he told me he wanted to go potty again and he went in the potty 9 times on Thursday having on 1 accident and that was poopy. He has earned a trip to Chuckie Cheese and is doing so good. Grandma got him to poopy in the potty on Monday. So things seem to really be clicking which makes me very excited and just think of the money I will actually get to save not having to buy him diapers. He too is growing like a weed and is almost too smart for his own good. He will figure something out and then duh me when I explain it to him. (MOM I AM SO SORRY FOR EVER DUHing YOU - I NOW KNOW HOW ABSOLUTELY ANNOYING IT IS!!)

Andrew- Wow well he is teething. So lets see there is slobber, fussiness, slobber, sleepless nights, slobber, fever, slobber, fussiness, slobber, lots of chewing, and oh did I mention slobber. He is also eating cereal and loves sweet potatoes. He is going to try carrots tonight for the first time. His favorite pass time is to spit. He as figured out how to make the sound and so he does it with a mouth full of cereal. He is so long that at just 5 months he has to wear some 12 month onsies. He rolls everywhere and is trying to crawl. He is still the biggest daddies boy!!!!!!!!! It is actually somewhat annoying because I am the one that gets up with him, I am the one that functions with 2 hours sleep because he didn't sleep, I am the one who feeds him the most, I am the one who changes most his diapers, and cuddles him when he is fussy. But am I the one he grins the sweetest smile to the most or that he reaches both hands up when I walk in the room NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it's his daddy. Hey I do have to say it is really sweet seeing their interaction.

Okay so that is whats going on with us. I do have to share a few stories with y'all. Last night a thunder storm moved is really quickly. There was alot of lightning. 2 strikes hit in our apartment complex. One so close we stepped out on our front porch and the boys were able to watch the fire men walk around the other building to make sure there was no fire. We went back inside and the boys had to immediately put their fire helmets on and check to make sure there were no fires in our place. It was so cute. Then they sat out on our balcony with Daddy and watched more of the storm. We all then met in the living room and RC and I taught them some of the old children christian songs we sang when we were little. These were songs like "Give me oil for my lamp keep it burning burning burning, Give me oil for my lamp I pray Hallelugha Give me oil for my lamp keep it burning burning burning Keep it burning til the break of day. Sing Hosannah Sing Hosannah sing Hosannah to the king of Kings.........." Yeah songs like those. It was really weird because I haven't heard these songs in years because they no longer teach them to the little ones. But anyways the kids thought it was really cool and they liked learning new songs. It was then followed by them going going to bed and RC and I getting a little time alone. Which was watching the Florida State Seminoles beat the Miami Hurricanes, but I did get a lot of cuddle time so I am not complaining plus our team won!!!!!!!!!!

Okay that is all for now. Hope to update again soon.

Just a few thoughts from me...........

1. My ex is... someone who never should have been. If I had only listen to my parents, brother, etc..... it would have saved me alot of heartache!

2. I am listening to... the race in background.

3. Maybe I should... quit bugging Mom she's trying to read another blog right now.

4. I love.... my honey with all my heart. You guys should know that by now I know some of y'all are tired of hearing about it! My kiddos (I'll Like them forever, I'll Love them for always as Long as I'm Living my Babies they'll be!!!!!!!!!!) My family, yeah I mean all of you turkeys:)

5. My bestfriend(s).... is too far away, oh and my hubby is pretty awesome too!

6. I don't understand... how to put all that I am feeling and thinking into logical thought patterns right now. It all just seems to jumble up.

7. I've lost.... all respect for the press because they have to make a story to have a story and will make it without all the facts.

8. People say.... too much sometimes. They don't think before they speak (and yes I am guilty of this sometimes).

9. 10 years from now..... I will have three kids in the double digits. Hopefully a little more money but just as in love if not more with my husband.

10. Love is..... a choice. You have to choose to continue to love someone even when the feeling is gone and/or you just don't like them at that moment. Trust me there are times I tell RC "I love you but I just don't like you right now!!"

11. Somewhere, someone is.... smiling, laughing, crying, hurting. And someone is probably doing all of them at the same time.

12. I will always...... love my children. No matter what they do they will always be my kids, my blessings from God.

13. Forever seems... like not enough time with my husband and kids.

14. I never want to.... experience the loss of my hubby or kids.

15. My mobile phone is....... green and really great because I am able to take alot of pics:)

16. When I wake up in the morning.... I groan because I am way to sleepy to get up again (Andrew has been sick so has been getting up alot in middle of the night!)

17. I get annoyed when.... I am tired!

18. Parties..... are great when its someone else responsible for the mess!

19. My pet..... is a stupid fish that just won't die!!!!!!!! Not that I am intentionally trying to kill it but I did forget to feed him for a couple of months and the thing is still alive.

20. Kisses are the best when.... they are just because. (Not that I don't like them other times but when my hubby grabs me and just kisses me because he wanted to kiss me there is nothing better.)

21. Today I..... got my butt kicked in Skip Bo by my hubby and dad. Mom and I were partners and they beat us 3 outta 4 :( I think they cheated:)

22. Tomorrow I will...... take Andrew to the doctor for his well baby check up. He will be five months on Wednesday.

23. I really want.... a nice warm fudgey chocolate brownie. YUMMMMMMMMMMM!

24. I cant wait....... until Andrew sleeps through the night. It will be nice to actually get sleep again!

25. I often..... say "Would you please stop harassing your brother!" You can take your pick as to whom I am talking too.

26. I need...... lots and lots of prayer, I have 3 boys oh yeah make that 4!!!!

27. I think..... about adult conversations and actually talking to someone who can vote!

28. My sibling(s).... are way to far away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

29. My parent(s).... are the best in the world. Mom always has advice for me when I ask. She has even been willing to give up some of her secrets just to help me out!!!!

30. Life is..... interesting to say the least!

Your turn: copy, paste, and finish the sentence.

1. My ex is...

2. I am listening to...

3. Maybe I should...

hmmmmmm..... Can I actually put together a thought that makes since???????????

Okay lets see whats been going on..... hmmm..... how to put it into words..... wow all thats going through this moms head is....... oh never mind can't even put those thought into something that makes since. So I will apologize now if this twists and turns.

RC and I are training to ride from Ormand Beach on the east coast of Florida and heading west on some of Florida's most beautiful, scenic, and safe back roads. We will complete the ride on the west coast at the Gulf of Mexico, in Tarpon Springs. The total mileage is approximately 200 miles, spread out over one full day and two half days of riding. I am really excited and scared all at the same time. RC participated in this last year but this is my first time. It will be the last weekend in October so I ask you please pray for us. Pray during the ride but also leading up to the ride. I have actually surprised RC because until the 22nd of July, I had not been on the bike since August of last year, and I am actually doing pretty good.

AC will start preschool this year. Some of you know that I got to teach in a program called Little Wranglers when I was a junior and senior in High School. Well he will be a Little Wrangler. It is really exciting because I know the program and trust what is being taught there. He is really excited, almost too excited. He seems to be getting a little big for his britches. He doesn't have to do things because he is going to preschool kind of things.

Trace is well just like my younger brother. Which is really funny because AC spent more time with him than Trace did. Well any ways some examples are.... he will eat just about anything, he is always hungry, he says things that well I remember my brother saying almost word for word and oh yeah he looks a lot like him too.

Andrew has been sick. A couple of weeks ago he had a fever spike to 103.5 and so they ran a lot of tests. Well after much confusion the tests came back with nothing serious. They said he just had a stomach virus. Well he started coughing on Friday and had a stuffy nose and a low grade fever. You could tell he didn't feel good because Mr. Daddy's boy himself would hardly let his Daddy hold him. He wanted MOMMY! I capitalize that because he let you know quite loudly that he wanted me. Well yesterday at 6:00 am his fever spike to 103 and his cough had worstened quite a bit so I took him to the doctor. They listened to his lungs and they are clear so they put him on antibiotics and sent him home. Well on top of all this he is teething and not sleeping well. The past month a good night is him only waking up 3 times a night but the last week has been a minimum of 8 times. Last night though he actually slept until 5:30 am, I fed him and put him back to bed and he slept until 9 (unfortunately the older boys woke up a 7:30am), but I have to say Thank you God. (I had a friend pray with me last night that I would actually get some sleep.)

Wow I can't believe I was able to put that much into readable thoughts. Or atleast I hope they are readable. That is pretty much whats going on here.

Family Photo



Hey all, just thought I would share this family photo. It was taken Mothers Day at my in-laws. I really liked it so thought you guys might.

Just a little update. Andrew will be 3 months tomorrow. He finally got his 2 months shots today. He was sick the other times I tried. He broke my little heart when he looked up at me and with his eyes said Why Mommy are you letting them do this? Atleast with his older brothers I can explain that it is for their own good. Well anyways he is 14 1/2 lbs, 25 1/2 inces long. He is absolutely adorable. The other boys got to go to the beach today with NaNa and Shelby (a girl from NaNa's church). They had so much fun. That is all they keep talking about. AC has hit a growth spurt and is now taller than Daddy's waist. A few weeks ago AC and Trace were the same height. Not any more.

Well I am just rambling I will try to put a more put together thought next time.

Andrews First Dip in the Pool




Okay trying something new here. Instead of using hello I just added image via the icon in my post. Ignore me in the pics I look really crappy just look at my adorable little boys:)

RC and I took the boys swimming Saturday night. It was a lot of fun. AC is my little fish. He loves to swim and goes out by himself (with his floaties of course). Trace is not a fish he loves to sit on the steps and splash but if you take him in the water he does the white nuckle cling around your neck. Andrew seemed to enjoy the water until I took him under. Then he was cold and didn't seem that thrilled.

"T" is my letter.

Okay for those of you who read my Mom's blog her friend assigned her the letter "L", and she had to come up with 10 things describing her that starts with the letter "L". Oh and for those who don't read my Mom's you should its good reading and the link is on my page.

Well anyways she challenged us to comment to her and she would give us a letter. Well blogger was having issues so I just told her I wanted to do it and she assigned me the letter "T". So here are 10 things describing me that starts with the letter "T".

"Tired" - I think this would be the most obvious because I do have 3 boys ages 4, 2 1/2, and 2 1/2 months. So yes tired is a very good description of me right now:)

"Texan" - And dang proud of it. For those who don't know I was born and raised most of my life in the Great State of TEXAS. My boys know and take ownership of the Texas flag because that is apart of their lives.

"Talkative" - I have always been very talkative (no wise cracks RC, Mom, Dad, Nyki, Shawn or anyone else). I am even more talkative now when I am actually with adults, because I crave adult conversation. I love being home with the boys, but there is only so much little boy talk you can take without going absolutely crazy!!!!

"Trustworthy"- I participated in this survey called Johari Window, http://kevan.org/johari?name=Outnumbered4to1. Well one of the things my friends and family called me was trustworthy. So I guess I can put this on here because they said it.

"Tense" - My hubby put this on the Johari Window thing and he would know. I get so concerned with what others, especially my Mom and husband, think that I get extremely tense and apprehensive about certain situations. No I am not saying that they make me that way I do that to myself.

Wow okay now I'm stuck.
Thinking>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Team player" - Most of the time anyways. I think I go along and help the "Team" whenever I can. I know not always but quite a bit of the time.

"Temperamental" - (RC keep your mouth shut!) I am now admitting not that I need to because most of you know this, but I am now admitting that I Brittney have a short temper from time to time!

"Tenderhearted" - When someone else is hurting I hurt too. Especially when it is my family and friends.

"Territorial" - No I am not a dog, but I do get very territorial. Don't mess with my friends and family. This is especially true when it comes to my husband. I have major issues with the female servers who feel they must touch my husband. He is mine mine mine keep your hands off if you want to still get your tip. Okay sorry went on a little rampage there:)

"Thankful" - God has given me so many blessings. I have an absolutely gorgeous husband. 3 beautiful little boys. Loving family that I was raised in. A roof over my head and food in my stomach. I am truely thankful that I am who I am and know who I know. I love you all.

Okay that was harder than I thought it would be. Okay I will challenge all of you now. Even if you don't have a blog, you can do this via email. So comment and I will give you a letter. It's really cool to see how you can do this.

Andrew Rolled Over

Hey Everyone! Okay so let me tell you about my day. First of all I woke up not feeling really great. So I had the boys playing in their bedroom. All of a sudden I hear Trace screaming. I go running in and he is climbing down from the top bunk and the fan is going so you know where my mind went. Yes he got hurt by the fan (let me clarify something here I have taken off the long chain link and turned the fan off by the little chain so they couldn't turn it on by the light switch, well they figured out how to turn it on anyways). He got hit in the nose and had a bloody nose. Well while I was cleaning up his nose he was crying so hard that he puked on me. So I throw him in the bath tub. While I am washing his hair I find a sore on his head, and asked him where he got it and when. He told me on Daddy's bike in the kitchen. Well Daddy's bike hasn't been in the kitchen since Saturday sooooo..... I told him that he needs to tell me when he gets hurt.

Okay then I got to go to the bank and deal with them. RC lost his wallet on Sunday, so I got the joys of checking the statement and cancelling the debit card. Well that is all taken care of and new cards have been issued. Nobody had used our card so that was a true blessing. Thank you God!!!

Well now on a good note. Andrew has started sleeping much better. I decided to try putting him on his belly and he immediately curled up and was out like a light. He sleeped from 9 'til 4:30 the next morning. Imagine my surprise. Ever since then he has been sleeping until atleast 3:30 or this morning it was 6:00. Also while I was changing Trace's diaper Andrew was laying on his belly on the back bed in Mom's house, and was totally ticked off. He rolled over for the first time. Yeah :) Wow I started the day out crazy and through it all God showed me his amazing power through my littlest guy doing something amazing.
