Thanksgiving and T-Ball!

Well next Thursday is Thanksgiving, I can't believe how fast it got here! The even better part is that in one month my sister will be home for Christmas!! Finally after a year she will be home!! We are all really happy for that. So back to Thanksgiving, it is going to be at our house this year!! AAAHHHH! LOL No I am super excited to have everyone here to celebrate the holiday. I am not cooking all of the food, I am sooo not ready for that yet, maybe next year. Everyone is bringing a dish or two and I am doing a couple myself as well as getting the decorations. I am wanting to make a big deal about it this year since I have to start my protein shakes the next day. It is going to be "My Last Meal" without the band! I can't wait to have surgery, but what a day to be done with food. HAHA We are also going to the Annual Aiau Day before Thanksgiving party, and are super excited to hang out with our friends! It has been a while since we have seen everyone because we are all so crazy busy this time of year. It is going to be a great couple hours hanging out and enjoying the kiddos and food of course!! I can't wait for next week!
The other cool thing that we are doing is signing Bailee up for T-Ball!! I have been wanting to get Bailee into something active for a long time, but everything was soo expensive and sign ups were always when we had were broke. I got an e-mail from my cousin Kim last night that Spring T-Ball sign ups are going on right now! So this Saturday we are heading to the park and going to sign Bailee up! It is only $40 for the season since we will sign up early! Now that is CHEAP and we love that! Bailee is super excited, I just hope that lasts! I wasn't a huge fan of softball when I played but maybe this is be something she really enjoys! I can't wait to watch her out on the field, it is going to be soo much fun! Hopefully we can get her on Wesley's team, but we will have to see how they do the teams! The season starts in Feb(I think), and goes til May! I am sure I will blog more about that later with some pictures! Make sure to check back!! Well that is enough for today! I hope everyone has an awesome Thanksgiving and remembers that is not the only day to be thankful, we should count our blessing every single day!

Scheduled for Surgery, and other fun stuff!

Well December 11th is the big day!! I am scheduled for 9:30am and I am excited but nervous at the same time! I can't wait to have this done, but even more so, I can't wait to see the new me. I know it is going to take some time to get the weight off but thinking of all of the little milestones has me pretty emotional! The day that I don't have to go to Lane Bryant and buy clothes, the day that I fit more comfortably in a ride at Disneyland, losing the first 25 lbs and then the first 50! These are the days I am looking forward too, it is going to be a struggle I am sure, but hopefully the outcome out weights those bad or rough days!! Well besides all of that we have some other fun things going on!! I have to start my protein shakes the day after Thanksgiving so I am looking at that as my final meal! And this year Thanksgiving is going to be at our house! I have not done Thanksgiving here yet and I am super excited. My family is all pitching in and bringing stuff so I am not doing it all, but I can't wait to cook and get ready for the holiday with our family. Then the weekend after that we are doing Noah's 2nd Birthday party and my cousin's 18th birthday party! Then surgery, then Auntie Lala is coming, THEN Christmas!! WOO HOO! I love Christmas and I can't wait to see my kids faces again this year. It will be even better since Noah is more aware of what is going on and I think this year he is really going to love opening presents and the holiday in general!! SO we are going to be pretty busy until the first of the year so check back to see all of the fun stuff we are doing!!
