A feeling of Self Accomplishment!

So, I don't know how many of you remember my post about my low self esteem.. I had a few comments on it. After rereading it I thought to myself that it was probably the most pathetic post. I had never felt so insecure about myself. I felt as if life was going nowhere and I envied my friends. How could they all look the way they do after having babies and here I am HUGE as ever! I thought I was dumb for not going back to school, and barely even wanted to leave the house. Call it depressed or whatever...  Well, I deleted that post and decided to start fresh!

So here is the new me! I recently started school about 11 weeks ago! I am loving it! It is all online with the University of Phoenix and I am getting my Associates in Arts of Health Administration. Right now I am excelling in school and I am loving feeling like I am getting something accomplished to better the future for my family.

I recently started a health kick too!  I know, I know they usually only last for about 2 weeks with me. I start working out really good, eat right, and then crash... ice cream and sweets get the best of me. Who could forget my feddish for the amazing pepsi too right!? Well... That's all over with. For 4 weeks now I have been soda free! As for the rest of the sweets and food.. I have just enough to cure the craving. I have to say... it's going extremely well! I am in love with my stationary bike that my grandma recently gave to me and my tredmill is becoming my best friend. Along with Jillian Michaels 6 week ab workout. 

Two days ago I went to the Dr. for something that was wrong with my throat. After leaving I was so happy! 6lbs down! That's a total of 10 from last month! I finally hit a new bracket of numbers! I use to be embarrassed about my weight.. are you ready... 171 lbs! crazy right! who would have thought!? but now, I can finally say I am into a new bracket of numbers 165 baby!

So, new goals for the next couple months-

 

1. Keep exercising and get down to 160 lbs by May 8th. (just a random day)

2. Do baptisms for the dead with the family, and out on a girls days

3. Keep up the good eating habits!

4. Love my family with all I can.

 

New goal for the rest of the year-

 

1. RUN a 5 k. Whether it be Swiss Days AND/OR Color Me Rad.

 

 I am sooo extremelly happy to feel so accomplished! I feel as if life is all going the right way now. I can't believe how good it feels to know that I was the only one who could snap myself out of misery and depression and I did it!

 

Sorry... no pictures. Just a feeling of happiness when you read this post!

Tiny Smiles and Big Laughter!

Oh my goodness! It is getting to be a house full of laughter and a whole bunch of smiles. Not to mention, a whole bunch a boys and one awesome mamma!

Hayes is now 2 1/2 months old and the little man smiles like you can't believe! He is so happy all the time!  A few things he is doing :

He is now recognizing faces and smiles when people talk to him.

He has tried to grab a few things (like my necklace at church today!)

Keeping our spirits lifted by his everyday happiness. We just love him!

 

 

 

 

I can't get enough of him!

 

Then... there is this little monster! Mr. Coy

My sand man...

 

                              This is what happens when he doesn't wait for mom...awesome!

 

 

Coy has the best facials for everything! He cracks me up!

 

What he's up to...

 

            Coy loves the dirt! Anytime he can kick it and make dust for the dog,he will and he thinks it's the funniest thing on earth!

Anytime he can make a face for pictures he does it. He loves getting his picture taken.

He can talk non stop! He is constantly telling us colors,shapes and songs.

He knows what red lights and green lights mean, and tells us what shape the stop sign is.

Obviously as I said, he knows his shapes colors and we are getting numbers down.

We are STILL working on potty training... it's not moving along very fast, but at least its moving!

He knows a million kid songs and sings to himself constantly.

He is now giving his stuffed animals and toys names.

For some reason, he calls himself "sandy"

He absolutely loves trains and anything to do with trains.

He also loves his cowboy hat and his belt buckle he got for christmas.

He can ride his horse all by himself.

He is still learning to ride his bike.

He loves playing with his puppy and tells me she is his best friend.

He LOVES his little brother and keeps an eye out for him at all times

and he is the high light of our day! He can make us laugh at any moment!

Always rockin the boots!

 

Hayles Clifton Hulet

So after not updating my blog for almost a year. We are finally announcing our new little one!

Hayes Clifton Hulet was born on Feb 5, 2013 weighing 7.2lbs and 20 inches.

I can't even explain the joy that I have for this beautiful little boy. He is so special to Colby and I.

I am so happy that we didn't have to worry about jealousy! Coy has been such a good big brother!He has also taken a likin to him. He always tells me "I'm the best big brother" or he tells Hayes, "we are best friends" He is always laying with Hayes, or talking to him. When he cries he tells him, "shhh baby, I'm right here." He is always wanting to help with Hayes whether it's feeding him or even changing his diaper. He thinks it's funny when Hayes has the hiccups and when he's awake he's always there singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider or some other song that he throws his own words into like " had farm, roe roe red." whatever that means!

I'm so happy that we were able to bring this sweet little man into our lives. He is such a blessing to our family.

Hayes was blessed on March 3,2013. It was very special and Colby did a great job. Chery Hulet, took it upon herself to type up Hayes blessing and give it to me. It was so sweet of her!

Hayes,

We are so happy you are finally here and that you chose us to be your parents. You are one of the best miracles anyone could ask for and I can't even explain to you the love that we have for you. You are one of a kind and we are grateful you are ours. We are excited to watch you grow and become a little boy, and then to become a man. We promise to always take care of you, protect you to the best of our abilities, and to love you forever. We hope that you always stay close to Heavenly Father and  know that the church is true. We are so happy you are ours, and that you and your brother are sealed to us for Eternity. We love you little man!

Love, Mom and Dad.
