Week one down~!

Found this picture when looking through my pics at work.. who is this?

Well first week of potty training down and Tyler is doing great.. we are still having issues with #2, but I am sure that will come soon. I was just thinking if he was older he would be mortified if I was putting in my blog, about where he does number two and all.. oh well….. Parker is doing well, starting to chatter A LOT.. we started him on baby food this week, he LOVES bananas!!! Tyler just got over a bout of sickness, he was really sick for about two days….. those are the times I miss tile floors, I still need to shampoo his room.. but we got all that we could… but man.. I never thought I would be able to clean up throw up.. but I guess it is a parent thing… Nothing new with Joshua and I really we are still trying to get a handle on getting up and getting going and out the door in the morning but we are doing much better.. we are starting a new series in our small group this week… Laugh your way to a better Marriage.. and I will say it is really cool.. Joshua and I read a chapter last night.. and man we were laughing a lot.. it was fun… I look forward to seeing the end product of this series. Just a short note to say hey.. and hope everyone is having a great day!

Update!!! Hansen Life

Just an update for you guys on what has been going on in the Hansen house…
Well we all have been sick off and on but we are working on getting better and figuring out what is going on with that we are just praying that God show us what is the cause and a resource to fix this.
Joshua is working hard and really doing great with the boys and helping around that house. He has started leading a small group in our church and doing a great job, I am REALLY PROUD of him. He seems to be busy a lot between work, kids and church and other family activities.
I am still working part time and staying at home with the boys on Tuesday and Thursday. I tried out for McKinney’s Got Talent, did not make it but at least tried out. I love that I can now sing more on the worship team, sure missed it while I was prego… Right now I am trying to find a way to manage my time, and potty train Tyler and make sure Parker is having fun at the same time.. it is work but fun that is for sure.. OH.. I am on day 3 with no coke… which those of you that know me is a BIG deal, so thankful for that. God has been showing me things left and right so I am trying to get my mind around all that and move forward with it.. there are A LOT of ideas in my head, just need to get them in order and walk them out…
As for the boys…
Tyler is now 3 years old, we went to Chucky Cheese for his birthday and he loved it. He went to his 3 year well check up and all is well with him. He is 33lbs and is 40.5 inches tall, looking like he might end up being 6ft 8in. so we are starting to save money for food and clothes now.. LOL.. and a great thing.. Tyler is being potty trained.. for those Mom’s out there, you know how this can be.. and how tough at times but man when they actually pee or poop in the potty, I am don’t know if I ever been so proud… wow.. .Tyler had a great day yesterday.. only one real accident.. and he pooped without us tell him to go to potty.. He did it all himself…. we were all screaming and running around the house.. I am pretty sure our neighbors thought we had totally lost it.. (we had our windows up all day yesterday while this was going on)
I know some of you reading this are like.. wow so did not need to know that TMI.. but that is what is going on in the Hansen house right now.. so … yeah.. funny that I would get so excited about that but.. right now, at this season in my life, that is what gives me true joy… and you know I am okay with that… ;)

As for Parker he is doing well…. He is almost 7 months now… and is doing get he is 18lbs, and 28 inches long. He is getting his first tooth in so he is trying to chew on everything… but he is doing well. As for the cough we did find out it is just happy spitting not reflux. We are going to give him till the end of the week for the cough to go away then back to the doctor to figure out what exactly is going on. We (Joshua and I) had a great and productive talk with the doctor and have a plan of action now, so that is great to know that we and the doctor are on the same page. One thing I have learned from all this, is you need to see one doctor and not jump around, when dealing with a reoccurring sickness. Lessoned learned on that.
All is well we are trying to get sleep when we can (Joshua and I). While working on what our priorities should be. It is amazing how much they change through the years… well the top one is always the same.. but funny how you have to work things around till they fit in their spot.. you guys know me.. with my personality order is a KEY for me.. so I am working on not being so order oriented but just being aware of my time management, which is a total work in progress. I guess we all are a work in progress!!!
Isaiah 40:31, "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

So I have not written a blog entry in a while.. almost a week! I was trying to remember what happened this week and I can’t really recall.. I was at home sick on Monday, Tuesday we took Parker to his 6 month well check up, and he is doing well. He is right on track. He is a little over 18lbs that is 75th percentile and as for length he is 28 inches long… in the 97th percentile, and I was really not shocked on that part… We started him on cereal, next step is baby food going to start that next week!! He is getting so big.. turns out he does not have reflux just a “happy spitter”, so waiting for him to out grow that. We are still wondering what is up with his cough but we (J and I and the doc) have a plan of action so that is good.. Over all Tuesday morning was a HARD time but that afternoon got better…Tuesday night had worship practice, and that was cool. Wednesday I went to work and actually had some work to do.. YEAH!! And Thursday I went to meet Melissa and Luke with boys in tow, for lunch. We had a really good visit. After that we headed to the park, and the boys played in the water a while. Tyler had a blast and overall Tyler and I had a good day.. I love those days.. we are trying to get him to get potty trained.. a work in progress.. I digress, after that we headed home, about 45 minutes after being home both the boys passed out and they were out for three hours. I was not sure what to do with myself, so instead of doing something productive, I watched TV and chilled. Now I have to clean, and fold and go to the store tomorrow oh well.. it was worth it.. Oh I watch Glee and it just makes me want to try out for a Broadway play or something.. I love all the singing and putting the songs into situations in life.. I use to do that when I was little… I remember swinging on the playground and singing songs about what was “happening” in my life.. or what I thought should happen… too funny…
So here is something I feel like right now.

I remember, well don’t really but I wish being chubby was still cute at my age. I know it is not.. but I have GOT to get motivated to work out and eat right… You would think the people that I care about in my life would be motivation enough.. but apparently it is not… sad to say. I am just posting this to get this motivation into action… Although I do not get much sleep (boys have been up a lot at night), I need to BUCK UP and work out and get things done…… so this post on… I will have worked out, doing one thing active EVERY day…. And I will be drinking water… as of next week ONE coke a WEEK… those of you that KNOW me know that will be hard..but I can do this… I have to…
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Is what it is

Well I did not make it..
Thank you for entering the McKinney Has Talent! contest. We were delighted with the variety and the high level of talent that was presented to us at the auditions. This was a very competitive group and we were pleased with every act that we considered.

Man!!!

This weekend was good well till today.. yesterday we had fun with family and friends, celebrating Tyler's birthday at Chucky cheese... then we came home and chilled with family...we got to bed at a decent time.... night before Parker was up most the night so Joshua and I were REALLY tired.. and we woke up today with ALL of us sick..... yet again we are sick... but the good thing in a weird way.. I feel good that we are the only ones sick.. how do i know this..well all the FB post saying people are sick and I just went to WalMart to get some cold meds and the cold/sinus and flew meds were scarse... so.. that makes me feel good in a way.. because we seem to be sick all that time it seems.. yes, we have ordered some kits to test mold in our house (we have been sick alot since we moved in) so we are looking into ALL options..... Well off to chill and try to get better.. oh just found a leak in the boys toliet in their bathroom.. YEAH!!! NOT.. oh well is what it is... sure will miss church today.... miss my church family when we are not there.

Three days and counting

3 days from today I will be auditioning for McKinney's Got Talent.. hope and pray it goes well, I just want to do my best and have fun with it.... and see what goes from there.
Tyler had a good family birthday party.. my side was not able to be there, but I was representin'.. he loves all his gifts and at the end Uncle Larry and I sprayed him with Silly String he LOVED it.. it was alot of fun.
So I have not talked about my weight for a while, know why? Not doing well. I am lacking the energy to work out and I am not getting that much sleep.. I "know" if I would just get up and exercise I would have more energy but guess I am lacking the motivation.. well I got some yesterday I weighed.. umm yeah.. 190 kids... not good... so I am being mindful of my water intake and intake of everything else.. I MUST work out.. MUST MUST...
Krizty's thought for the day-- I want to be put in time out.. 33 min. to myself sounds WONDERFUL!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER!!!

Today my son Tyler turned 3 years old, and man the time has flown by. I am so blessed to have a wonderful sweet and funny son. He lights up my day.. We have had our moments, but I would not change it... I love him so much.. and so proud to me Tyler's Mom (aka Mr. T, Buddy, and Bubby (I call him that)
on the way to the sitters today we were jamming out to music he was playing a cool air guitar.. and did great on air drums.. Aunt She She would be so proud.... he was on beat!!!
Today is declared Tyler day at the Hansen house, all day is about our boy... can't wait to see what this year holds for him.. hoping potty training is in that mix.. we are starting the lolly pop method today.. so we will see.. last night he sat on the potty and tried.. so that is a definate start.
We had a great Easter weekend, cleaned Friday night, alot of Easter events on Sat. and Easter Sunday (church and family and shopping for T's bday and getting ready for his family party tonight)

Easter thoughts

Worked out yesterday and today.. Two days in a row.. YEAH.. now if I could get my eating under control, two cokes yesterday and pizza for supper and two cookies...this morning when I got to work a guy brought donuts so I had to eat one.. right?? I know i did not have to but I did.. good news is I am drinking water..
I am going to MAKE time for workout and my time..in the mist of my crazy life.... a must...

Thought for the day --- You know this weekend is Easter... and I was thinking about someone and really felt I should share.. so...
As we spend time with family and attend church.... I hope you keep in mind the reason for Easter.. celebration of how Jesus rose from the DEAD... crazy right? This is how much power there is in God.. he can raise people from the dead among many other things.. in today's society we seem to focus on people who are successful in whatever they do... here is a thought.. what can be more successful than raising someone (Jesus) from the dead.. AND taking all our sins at the cross and covering them... People, we were not even a glimmer in His eye... and Jesus died for us.. how cool is that?? I think that shows some SERIOUS love.. when you up and die for someone you don't even know or have not met yet.. you know?? Think about it.... just a thought, So glad to know and rest that no matter what I have done, Jesus loves me, and will always love me, He is there to comfort me and help me through anything, ALL I have to do is CALL HIS NAME... I am not sure where you are in your life.. but know that your are loved by someone that does is there for you in a snap, Jesus love is unconditional ALL THE TIME!! If you mess up, just get up and dust yourself off, and grab that hand that is there to help you up, Jesus's hand, and keep a hold of that hand as you walk...
Happy Easter guys..
I hope you have a great day... you are loved!
