Attack of the Red Rider BB!

I know that you all remember the Christmas Story- and the whole "You'll shoot your eye out" story... right?

O.M.G.

Weeeeelllll I was relaxing in the living room feeding baby Kash- when I heard a rucus come from the garage- I sprang up to see what all the clatter was about...

Ok- no really. I hear Big Brother C crying in the garage and I jumped up to see what was going on. He had been shot!!! *gasp*
(no worries- he is just fine)

But he had been shot/ grazed in the ear by a BB Gun- crazyiness I tell you! No holes, no blood, didn't even break the skin. But it hurt!

and NO his sister isn't the one who did it-

Just the kids out being kids- playing with kids- just being kids. A mistake- an accident. But a good learning lesson. In so many ways.

Moms of boys *beware* this could happen to you.

That mom in the Christmas Story just might have known what she was talking about.

Two more months-

Until we finally get to meet Baby Steinbarger! It's super exciting because no one knows if this will be

Aspen Jade

OR

Colton Chase (or if Daddy gets his way- it could be Fisher.... right?)

Either way! YAY! That's just got to be exciting- can you imagine- pushing and laboring, waiting the whole 9 months and finally the doctor says "IT'S A BOY/ GIRL"

Lori's shower was this past weekend and it was great!

The food was fabulous- we had fun with the Name the Baby's Celebrity Mom game. Speaking of.... there are some crazy crazy celebrity baby names out there!

I think Lori is well stocked and on her way to being prepared for baby- or as prepared as you can be...right?

She's going to be a great mom- and I can't wait for her to be able to experience all the joys of motherhood! It really is the best feeling ever!

She is looking super cute!

The Sweetest Sound

soooo I have just GOT TO get this on video- Kash's laugh!! It's the absolute. sweetest. sound. EVER! I just love it

Only problem is-


He will only laugh for Dad :(


Cody had him laughing so hard during bath time the other night I could hear it from the other room! But as soon as I walked in-


nothing- nada- silence- I think I heard some cricket chirps....


Then as soon as I left- the giggles begin.


It makes me wonder- what are those boys up to? Are they laughing at me? Trouble I tell ya- those boys are nothing but trouble.

T-R-O-U-B-L-E


Good thing they are some super cute trouble!

Back to work-

All has been going great. Seems as though Kash is having fun at daycare- meeting all the babies and getting to do all kinds of fun activities. Last week a train came and we got to ride around the parking lot. We borrowed Jack's conductor hat! Isn't it cute!?

Kash's buddy, Jack and his mom, Allyson

This last weekend we took pictures in the bluebonnets! WOW! so fun- Kash was a good sport- I am pretty sure we wore him out- but he worked the red carpet for mom and dad!

Cutie Pa- Tootie!

I know- so sorry- it's been too long since I have been in the blog world! I miss all of you I promise! But sad as it is for me...... I go back to work on Monday- booooo

BUT- good for you (and me too) that means that I will get to chat with all of my work ladies, get back to my blog, maybe get a work out in, go do some shopping, maybe go out to lunch and- ya know- other fun things I do while I am at work! (I am sure I will fit some actual work in there too)

Kash is great- the past 11 weeks have flownbysuperfast! varrroooommmm..... it's a good thing he's so cute- because I tell ya- his poots aren't....

Between his poots, poops, and formula burbs- yuck! this house is one stinky place! LOL! (then add in Diesel's gas- and I am surprised anyone can breathe in here)- guess we should have thought about that before we named his Diesel *giggles*

Anyhow- ya'll come on over! haha!

I am outta here starting Monday- so back to the 'real world' of working moms- it's gonna be fun!


See you soon!

hearts and kisses! I'll leave you with some pictures of the CutiePa-Tootie himself! watchout- you might pass out from cuteness! (hopefully not from smells)

All ready for my 1st SWSX show!

bright lights bright lights

too handsome

no shirt and all drool- that's right ladies-

bath time!

Let's get physical- physical....

I wanna get phisicaaaallllll, Let's get into physical- Let me hear your body talk- your body talk. Let me hear your body talk.

Well.... if my body could talk- I would probably not be liking what it has to say. So- it's that time- time to get rid of this "baby" weight. I would imagine that all (well most) women who have had a baby can agree that things with your body are- well..... just..... hmmmmm..... different.

A little extra skin here, something loose over there- ugh! I am not sure just how much I need to loose- I haven't stepped on a scale since Kash was born. We don't have one that works in our house- which is a good thing! But next week is my 6 week check up appointment- I as we all know- every appointment starts with the dreaded weight check-

So I have decided to join the Biggest Looser folks and I have bought the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred workout DVD. Three different workouts that are only 20 minutes each- My goal is to do one each day- I can do that right?? I mean- it's only 20 minutes.... how bad could it be?

MPFH!

It's a good thing that the TV isn't two way- it's a good thing that Jillian can't hear me- or read my thoughts as I am doing her stinky workouts.... and it's a good thing that we will (probably) never meet in person... because I might slap her skinnyass...

The workouts are pretty tough. I didn't think I could possibly get THAT sore in just 20 minutes- and let's be honest here- I didn't (couldn't) even do the full video the 1st time!

But when I got up to feed Kash around 3 am and my legs buckled under me- I am sure Cody was wondering just who I was cussing out!

And there is Jillian on the DVD being all nice and motivating... saying things like "You can do it" and "I've seen 400 pound people do this"

Oh yea Jillian...really? Well have you ever given birth? had contractions? or been pregnant? carried around a weight in your belly for 9 (or in my case 10) whole months? have you ever even had sex? maybe that's why you are so bossy?

ok- that's besides the point.

Anyhow- lately I have been playing my I-pod and tuning Jillian's inspiring words out! Things are going pretty good. I am going to try and keep it up. I figure I can even take this back to work with me- then the girls and I can fit in a 20 minute workout on our lunch break.

I just want to be able to shop at Forever 21- as long as I can fit into the clothes there- then I will be good. Looooove that place! Since that is my age- I figure I should shop there- haha!

Where does the time go?

So- I know- that picture is from a week ago..... forgive me- it's been a little busy at the Brooks household. But check out Kash's new blankie from his GiGi- she must have known how good it would look with our 2 week outfit! now what to wear for the 3 week......

This cutie outfit is from Papa Lou! Stylin! and it's sooooo soft!

Today (2-4-10) Kash actually turns 3 weeks old! Where does the time go? I go between "Time is going too fast" and "Holycrap it's only been 3 weeks!" (that must be from the lack of sleep- all the days seem to run together- I think I have been awake for about a month straight already- haha!)

For the most part- life with baby has been great- there have been some fussy times- and rest assured- I have been peed, pooped, and spit up on- sometimes- all three in the same day. But when Kash looks at me with those big innocent eyes- I am a sucker!

At our 2 week doctor appointment Kash weighed in at 8 lbs 14 oz- so he is a growing boy. We are going back to the doc today- they are thinking he has a bit of the reflux. So maybe some medicine will help him and his little tummy feel a little bit better.

Tuesday (02-02) was Daddy's b-day and Kash and I took him to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory- YUM! Of course, we had to get some cheesecake and Cody picked the Red Velvet Cheesecake- very good choice!

This weekend we are planning on heading up to Sam's Boat! yay! Crawfish are back in season- and it's time for us to get some! I can't wait.
