Goodbye July!

Well, another month has come and gone and it doesn't seem possible!! Where did the time go?! This month, Decovin turned 2 1/2, Camden turned 6 months, & Bob turned 29...WOW what a month!

Christy stayed with us for the past few days before she starts back up to work...we had a good time and even started her stay with a trip to Wichita to see one of her good friends from College, Jennie, I took the boys with us and Decovin had a blast with her 3 kiddos, Sophie, Blake & Graham...Camden just observed most of the day...ha! We had a great time, ate at Japan Express (Christy's fave restaraunt of all time I think) and then I grilled Pork Tenderloin and Veggies for dinner at Jennie's house later that evening...Jennie knew a girl that sold some purses and sunglasses and the gal happened to be in the neighborhood so we all got something and it was just FABULOUS! *wink* It was really fun, wishing I lived closer to all the cool people with kids! :-( We also got to see Sam and Amy! They met us for lunch and then came over to Jennie's house afterwards for a couple of hours to hang out! It was so good to see them too! Here is Decovin, with Sophie and Graham...Blake is being put in by his momma:


Here is Blake & Graham with Amy in the back...Jennie's head got cut off...oops! Aren't they stinkin' cute?!?!
Oh and I can now officially say I have lost over 40 pounds! 41.2 to be exact!! I'm so excited about this and just can't believe I have lost that much...WOW! Anyway...that is pretty much the excitement of the Plummer household...looking forward to August...we have planned to go to a Royals/Red Sox game on the 5th for Bob's Bday present (SO EXCITED!! GO SOX!!) and then we plan to head to Arkansas to visit my Aunt Mendy & Uncle Jim for a few days! Should be fun! Plus she makes the best esspresso EVER! *muah*


Plummer, out!

Hi...

So, how are all of you doing? It is so nice that everyone seems like they are blogging regularly again...with the exception of Amanda...but since she works like 80 hours a week, I will forgive her. Heart!

I'm now down 39.8 pounds! I was seriously hoping for that additional .2 pounds to just say I have lost 40! Grrrr...next week, next week! :-)

I have been trying to keep busy with the boys...I try to take them on a walk every night but sometimes that doesn't always happen. Yesterday I needed to run uptown to get some things and I decided to take the boys on a walk then and kill a few birds with one stone...DUMB IDEA! It was like five million degrees out and the boys were loving it of course b/c they just get to sit in the stroller and enjoy the breeze...while I have to do all the pushing and pushing a double stroller is not a walk in the park i'll tell ya! haha! But we made it there and back but I was really sweaty! ewwww!

We are, for the most part, moved in...we just have a few boxes left and a pile of garage sale items that are keeping us from being "completely" moved in. :-) Decovin has adjusted well and he loves his room! We are still working on potty training...but it is slow going...he finally is telling us when he poops in his diaper now...that is progress! haha! I bought some training pants...basically underwear made out of cloth diapers and the plastic pants to go over them...I plan on trying that soon. We'll see what happens...

I wanted to welcome my friend MEAGAN to the blogging world! We are so excited to have you jump on the blog bandwagon!

That's all I have for now...keep on blogging people! I love it!

The New Me...

This is the new me...38 pounds lighter...notice I have a collar bone again! Whoo hoo! Oh and the outfit I am wearing is something I've had in my closet WAY before Decovin was around! YES!

Camden Rolled from Back to front!!

He did it, he did it! Yay! Twice in the same day! What a big day for a big boy! I was so excited...oh and he got his first tooth on the 1st of July and 2 weeks later #2 popped in right next to it...both on the bottom! So as you can imagine he has been captain cranky pants working on teeth and all!

I met up with Amanda on the 11th to go swimming at the Gardner City Pool...and can I just say wow...check it out: http://www.gardnerkansas.gov/parks/park-pool.php make sure you scroll down to see pics of this place! AMAZING...the boys were free (under 3) and Amanda and I were $5 a piece. We only stayed for a little over an hour before Decovin had a Terrible Two Fit and we had to leave...I wasn't going to condone that attitude! YIKES! They both slept really well on the way home! haha!

Bob and I are slowly getting more moved in...trying to decide where things will go is always a challenge especially since we have less storage space inside the house than we did at our old place...we have more square footage but because we lost out on our basement for storage, we have to get creative...oh, that, and we are going to have a garage sale to sell the stuff we have been storing and not using for the past 3 years! haha! So all is well.

Our guest bedroom is all set up so feel free to come and visit if you like! We would love to have ya!

We have internet again!

Happy late everything! I feel so lost not having internet for 2 whole weeks! haha! What did we do before internet? Oh, that's right...play! Anyway...glad to be back online and connected with everyone. I just gone done reading all the blogs and getting "caught up." Sounds like everyone is doing well and keeping busy.

We are 100% moved out of the crap rental and free and clear of its bug problem! Except we have swapped ants for June Bugs! WHERE THE HECK ARE THEY ALL COMING FROM?!?!?! I don't remember them being so bad?! I find dead ones all over our house and it is quite disturbing! Anyway...all our boxes and things are here at our new place...address by the way: 918 Osborne St., Burlington, KS 66839. We have unpacked quite a few boxes but still have several to go that are in the big garage! "...And miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep..."

Oh and P.S. I love Burlington so far...I guess I was always a small town girl! Who knew?! Anyway...the small town is growing on me and I have already met some people and have bumped into them twice since being here around town. See, told you it was small! ha! Although I hate the hours of business here (everything effectively closing around 8 or sooner) I do think it has its charm. The schools are apparently fantastic so that makes me excited to raise the boys here. It's all new and exciting for now.

We got to "get away" for the holiday weekend. We spent it with Bob's family at the lake! It was fun and we got to see some fireworks too! :-) We went out on the boat a few times and ate...a LOT! lol! It was fun and Decovin especially had a good time this year! He LOVED the boat and kept telling Papa to "PUNCH IT!" He loved going fast and laughed the whole time...except for the last boat ride he fell asleep! It was so cute! :-) Camden went swimming but no boat ride this time...too choppy for baby. :-) It was an excellent weekend if I do say so myself!

Now we are back to reality and I am busy keeping up with the kids, doing laundry, dishes, unpacking what I can, etc. Hell, it took me over 3 hours just to do this post with how many times I had to stop and start! LOL! So enjoy!
