24 Hour Delay

This post will be delayed 24 hours due to the flurry of activity surrounding the start of me and Kevin eating right and exercising again. This includes taking our weight, measurements, and picking out our food for tomorrow. It's a drawn out process that includes a last meal which we are currently cooking...pizza and soda. What a way to go out, huh?!!? Wish us luck. We did this last year at this same time, so it should be interesting. Adieu!

:(

Maria's leaving tomorrow morning. It's so sad when she leaves. It's up in the air about when she'll be back, since her baby is due in July. Congratulations again, Ri!!!! Anyway, she was here with Dayce when he was just two weeks old, so maybe she'll get here with the newbie. I sure hope so. I'm sorry to do this to you again, but it's really late. I'm trying to catch up on my sleep since Kevin was up the other night, and we didn't get home until late tonight from an appt. Please forgive me, and I'll talk to you all Sunday night. Take care!

Say Cheese!

Random picture post alert!!!!! I don't have a blog in me. I need to sleep. So here are pics from Chuck-E-Cheese the other night. I think they're all pretty much self explanatory.

Sorry about the red eyes on Rory. I'm at a different puter tonight.

I just have to say,"Nana, I made sure to crash Kyle Busch first."

Good night. Sleep tight.

New Years Eve Revisited

Sorry that this is five days late but better late than never. So to begin, the plan was that Ri and I were going to put the kids to bed at normal bedtime, and then wake them up at 1130p and get them ready to jump and ring in the New Year. Jumping is something that we, Montilla's, have always done because it's supposed to mean that however high you jump is how much you'll grow that next year. And you always have money in your pocket, so you'll have money through the next year. Then...we eat...at midnight. Think Gremlins. Anyway, Marley, Logan, and Rory were all in one room. We staggered their bedtimes and everything went great. At 1130p we got the kids up. Ri does this with her kids every year, so they kind of know the drill. My kids didn't know what to think. Kaelyn, Rory, and Marley were all for it and fine. Logan could've stayed asleep I think. He wasn't very impressed.

By the time we got them dressed (you're supposed to wear a new outfit. I didn't get the memo until it was too late, so each kids wore something new instead) it was 1145p. The ball dropped and we all jumped and made noise and kissed and toasted. Everyone ate a little something, and the kids went back to bed...or were supposed to. We put Ror, Log, and Mar in at once. We went in there, I don't even know how many times, to Logan playing with Marley...the lights on and them jumping up and down...Marley had Rory's blanket in her playpen and Logan's teddy bear...it was anything and everything. We finally (Kevin, Kaelyn, and I) went in and laid down.

It was 2-230a before everyone was finally asleep. Marley would lie down and whenever she heard anyone, she would pop back up and see what was going on. When she saw it was nothing she would lie back down until the next sound...until 2AM! At 5am Rory woke up. She's like clockwork. She had to go potty. I held her off until 6am. She asked me every five minutes or so that whole hour. I got up to take her. When we walked back in, Marley was standing up in her playpen and she smelled awful. I tried to lie down, but she started crying probably because her bottom was reeking. I got her up and Rory and went out to the living room giving up on sleep for this next year. Here's some pictures that I'll roll. Happy New Year!

Oops! I Did It Again!

Sorry to disappoint all you Britney fans, but this post is not about her. I'm not blogging tonight because I had company and that would've been rude. Jess came over to meet Maria. It was so nice. We sat and talked about how mean Maria was to me when we were growing up. I felt validated hearing Maria say it. Just kidding! It's not THAT big a deal. Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow because I have a lot of material. Til Then!

Happy Birthday Kevin!!!!!!!!!

Today is Kevin's birthday. We partied hard at Nana and Papa's with great company and great food. I remembered that tonight was supposed to be my New Year's blog, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. Now, down to business. Here are five things you may not know about Kevin.

1. He loves anything sour. He is currently eating Pop Rocks. Do you eat Pop Rocks or just sort of have them in your mouth? Anyway, he doesn't shy away from chocolate, but he definitely has a preference for the sour, sweet, gummy, hard candy more than chocolate.

2. He is an encyclopedia of useless information with a preference for History. He knows things that people don't need to know. He would probably be good on Jeopardy.

3. If he weren't a geek, he'd be a mechanic. If we ever come into money...WHEN we come into money, he wants to start a program taking underprivileged kids off the streets and teach them to be mechanics.

4. He HATES watermelon. This might be one most people know outright because he's not shy in letting people know. He doesn't like that ALL his kids like it, but he cuts it up and lets them have it, which leads me to number five.

5. Kevin is the best husband, father, son, brother, friend, and all around great person. People are better for just knowing him. He has an integrity about him that shows by how he carries himself and cares for others. He is patient and laid back...the Yin to my Yang. He embodies all sense of the word gentleman.

Happy Birthday, DUDE! :) Just kidding. Happy Birthday, Kevin! I Love You, Miss You, Want You, and Need You...now and forever.

Nicole made Kevin this hat for his birthday

Priorities Continued

I'm too tired. Plus, I forgot my camera at my parent's house. I'll have a Monday morning blog...hopefully. My sister and family are supposed to come on Sunday to stay a couple nights before they go back to Canada. It should be fun! Talk to you later!
