nicholas is a whopper now. 4mo.s old and 26.5 in and 20lbs! he rolls, scoots, and is trying very very hard to crawl.

he's also started on solids for a few days now and it's a balance trying to get him to love it. gotta make it fun? heh.

the neighbors are moving tomorrow and kris really likes them and i know we will miss them very very much. i hope our next neighbors are just as nice and welcoming as the glotz's were. i cut my bangs again and i look like a little girl. i'm contemplating about ordering a chickaboom palette. they're palettes is a pressed mineral powder and for $30 +shipping.taxes etc it's about $50 but i get a giant palette vs ordering from elf and it's $3 per color which adds up to way too much considering i get over 50+ colors from chickaboom. i hope my bangs grows out good by the time the ball comes around so i can have my hair all purdy :D

kris' reenlistment package has been approved as of yesterday and now we are waiting on orders to pcs! he will reenlist in 2wks or so. his career planner said that we will move before he goes to school next spring and that means we will move before january 2012! i'm definitely excited :D i also decided to have a waterfall french braid done for the ball to go with my dress! everything has been falling into place and i thank God everyday for it.

i've been on the body by vi diet for 10days now and i've lost 8lbs on it. i also had 2 cheat days for the weekend and i gained 2.5lbs over the san diego weekend. otherwise it'd be close to 11lbs i would've lost! i am very very excited to lose all this yucky baggage and look and feel good again!

this past weekend we took a 3day trip to see kris' hs buddy mitch. somehow mitch and his wife lauren are now the godparents of nicholas. very interesting because mitch was terrified to hold nick when we first got to his place lol and he was very gracious to let us stay with him for the duration of our trip. friday evening kris nick and i found a really good korean bbq ayce place in riverside which was super bomb and even better cause it's so close to home! then saturday we went to the zoo and kelsey came met up with us and we had a blast walking our buns off! too bad all the animals i had wanted to see were all sleeping cause the sun came out and it was 80 by the time noon hit. boo hoo... too bad so sad! saturday night we went to old town san diego and had dinner at cafe coyote. the wait wasn't as bad as usual but the food and service was the worse we've ever experienced there! and we go there quite a bit! the pitcher of margarita didn't even give the boys a decent buzz lol sunday kris and i found a really nice bfast place in downtown carlsbad called don's country kitchen and it was $18 after tax and tip for giants breakfasts for the both of us! that's pretty awesome if you ask me. then we shopped around in vista and went to costco and only spent $40 which is an accomplishment in itself lol we went back to mitch's and the boys went for a hair cut while i got kebobs ready for a cook out with mitch and his neighbors. we had a blast and his neighbors were really nice. we left a bit later than we anticipated but we got to see my cousin donna for a little while so it was all worth it :)

today was the first time went far away from home all alone with nick. i was sitting around bored and decided i wanted to go to costco which is about 90 mins each way from 29. it wasn't the brightest idea but i got to walk, shop, drive, listen to music, listen to nick babble to himself and we both got to relax a bit. he was so good on this ride he didn't cry at all! the past week i've been slacking and haven't been walking as i should be, so to do make it up kris is taking us to big bear to hike :) i can't wait to see hannah hike and enjoy herself. it'll be a nice change from walking the pavement everyday. this 96 is half gone and i've made a giant batch of pho ga. then maybe next wk i'll make bun rieu. i just want an excuse to make some egg rolls lol i've lost inches and 2 pant sizes! so i've gotta get with the diet and walk walk walk! nick melts my heart and he smiles and giggles whenever you talk to him or smile at him. and he knows his sleepy time routine so i hope that he'll sleep through his teething. he's become quite the drool monster lately. i also managed to get kris hooked on jager bombs so i got a case of red bull from costco today too. just gonna let it be late enough to do some damage hehe..
