Wednesday Weigh In

So it has been awhile since I last updated my weight. Sorry, just a little busy.

Can I get a Whoo Hoo?

Today's weight - 155 lbs
That makes 10lbs total weight loss!

I am behind a little but still overall happy. I am going to have to buckle down and get rowdy with the weight loss if I want to survive the holiday season.

These are just some random pictures and stuff that I am to lazy to go into detail about. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

First Day of School. All set and ready to go.

A and I getting ready for Holli's Wedding.
Tom and Holli
Beautiful Bride!

A Mama and her son. Can you see his tounge sticking out? Yep, my child.

The pumpkins we painted. Can you tell who painted what?

Conan decided to paint everything, including himself, but the pumkin.

Birthday Countdown...

Exactly 2 weeks from today....!!!

Pics part 1

I am so glad that Mak Mak is Conan's best friend! We had a time taking their 2nd year pictures. I am happy with the way Mak's came out, but I think I will take some more of Conan. He was not in a very "picture" taking mood. Makena, on the other hand, was all about posing! Here are some of my favorite from the shoot. My baby really is growing up.

2nd year pictures

OK, Blogger stopped uploading my pictures halfway through, so the rest will have to wait. Of course I saved the best for last so stay tunned!

Happenings

I have not posted in a while so this is my quick version of the Cassidy happenings.

New JOB:

I started my new job on October 9th. I entered the world of Outcome Engineering! So far SO GOOD. I really love the job and the people. It's really nice when you get to work with your best friend. We decided that we really don't see each other that much more than we did. We are so busy that there is very little interaction. I feel so fortunant to be at a place that is working hard to utilize my skills and find me a nich. Thanks A for believing in me enough to give me a shot. I am eagerly looking forward to the future, what ever it brings. I thought going back to work would be so much harder but it wasn't. The last two weeks have flown by and I feel like this is what I am supposed to be doing and that it is a good thing.

New School:

Conan started school at Merryhill. He LOVES it. I am sure some of you out there can appreciate how nice and comforting it is to have to leave your child and know that he is, not only ok, but happy. He likes school and is doing great. That makes me breath....easier. Conan's class is having a Halloween party and a Fall Fest next week. I can't wait. A and I are also going to take treats to schoolto celebrate their birthdays on the 3rd.

Conan got this frog for his 1st birthday and it sits on his dresser. It is one of my favorite stuffed frogs he has collected so far.

Taylor:

Taylor is right in the middle of her soccer season and doing well. She is getting better all the time and Chris told me thatnow he does not get so nervous for her when she plays. I think we have 3 more games and if we win 2 more the team will get 1st place! Good luck, Lady Sharks!

Party Fun!

Angela and I hosted a Premire Jewelry party on Sept the 28th. It was a hoot. We felt like little girls playing dress up. DM came and showed us some neat stuff and had lots of fun. It is nice to have a girls night once in a while. Chris was sweet and took the kids to play for a couple of hours while I stayed home and played with sparklies!

See her pretty neclace? VERY CUTE

Joy and Christina trying stuff on.

Birthday Countdown!
We have 2 weeks until the kids birthday. I finally got the invites in the mail and goodie bag stuff ordered. Decided on cake (still need to actually order it) and snacks. I think we are getting closer to the big day. I am so excited! I hope the weather is beautiful and it doesn't rain. I am taking their pictures tomorrow with A at the park. I hope we get some good ones. I will post them later

Chris

Chris had a recruiting trip in Stillwater this week and he was able to see his Mom and brother. He has a test this weekend, so we will not see to much of him. The semester is half way done. Which is always a good thing.

Even Dad needs a good ol' rest on the frog chair.

TIK and LTIK

We are missing the tiks like crazy and wish they were back home. Cheer up big sis, I love you! You know where home is and that is the only thing that matters. Here is a big old blogger hug to you and ry-kate :)

Picture perfect

"Mini" Road Trip!

A and I are off to San Antonio for a wedding this weekend. We are hitting the road early to do some shopping in San Marcos. Very Excited! Holli is getting married and we are going down to celebrate with her. I am looking forward to the girls weekend. It will be short, but sweet!

Catching my Breath

This week has presented many new and exciting adventures. On Monday I started my new job. Cool thing about it-I get to work with my girl A! I really like the company, and the people. I think it will be a wonderful new opportunity for me. Now I just have to get used to waking up at 5:30am. I love the fact that I can work 7:00-4:00, more time in the evening with the family.

Last week I found myself crying all the time when I thought about having to send him to school. Thankfully he loves it, and I am happy with how his first week has gone. Tomorrow is ice cream day and he can't wait. He doesn't cry when I leave and he is excited to see me in the afternoon. I look forward to the huge MAMA I get when I open the door to his classroom.

Taylor and Chris are busy with school and with me working we are having to adjust our schedules to work everything in. Life has certainly picked up but I think we are all ready for the challenge.

"My Honey"

Conan has picked up on the fact that I call Chris, Honey. So now he wants to call him that as well, only now it has turned into a game. I will say "my honey" and then Conan says, no mama, "my honey." He won't stop until Chris finally says, "that's right, Conan I'm your honey" This is followed by loud head thrown back laughter. (by both of them) I just can't seem to win :)

2nd month

Ok, I just started the second month of my weight loss adventure. Here are the stats as of today

Starting Date August 2nd: 165lbs

Today, October 2nd :157lbs

Total inches lost: 9.25in
Total lbs lost: 8

Ok so that is 1 pound a week and 1.16 inches a week.
I wouls like to see more drastic numbers but everything I have read says that that is the healthy way to lose.

Wish me luck people, I am craving me some queso!
