Goodbye January!!!

Was is just me, or did January seem Way Too Slow?? Seriously! I thought it would never end!! January to me is always exciting for maybe the first few days with it being a new year, but after that, it's my least favorite month, especially this year! Work for instance has been INSANE!! We have had 6 Weather Advisories for the East Coast which is just bizarre I tell ya!! Every week has been crazy with flights that have been cancelled and us trying to accommodate our customers to different ones. After an 8 hour shift, I am exhausted!! At least these storms have been nothing like the one they had after Christmas. I call it my Hell Week with JetBlue!! I'm usually a pretty tough cookie when I'm dealing with customers, but it was so bad, that it left me crying a few times!! I was definitely on the breaking point to just up and leave!! I think a lot of people did actually, but I stuck through it! I am just hoping that February will be a much kinder month to the airline industry and to the people who have to deal with it all!! Not fun whatsoever!!!

Anyways, I am just SO happy for February to be here! I feel like I can start anew with my attitude with work, that I can look forward with my Tri Training, and Of Course enjoy the month of LOVE!! Not sure what me and my Hubster will be doing for Valentine's, but no matter what we do, I always look forward to focusing on us for a day and rekindling our love for each other! Maybe I'm too much of a romantic, but I just love Valentines!!

So, YAY FOR FEBRUARY!!! GOODBYE JANUARY!!!

Spoke Too Soon!

So, my last post was a complaint about my daughter not wanting to go potty. I 'm not sure if it was the post or what, but from about 5 pm tonight till she went to bed, she has gone potty on her own 3 times and no accidents!! All Day earlier we were out and about, so she was in her pullups, but when we got home, I put Her in her undies and told her that she can put the princess stickers on her chart if she goes, and she was so good in doing it!! I am just so proud of her and hope this continues!! Wow! I'll have to complain more often about things :)

Potty Training Sucks!!!

Can I just say how hard it's been to get Mekenzie potty trained? Seriously! I thought Haiden was hard, but nothing compared to what Mekenzie has put me through! I mean, she has no interest in going potty. I bought her cute underwear to try and get her excited, but no, she treats them just like pull ups. We lately have tried bribing her with a cute princess potty chart and that if she's good to go potty, she'll get to go the Big Castle in Disneyland and see Tinkerbell, which in a way has gotten her more attentive to that, but as many times as we talk about going potty on "the rabbit" (that's what we call her potty) and how many times she answers where she is supposed to go, she always has accident after accident! What do I do? Should I back down a little bit? She's 2 1/2 which isn't horrible, but I just feel like she should be good about it by now. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

Happy Birthday Haiden!!

Haiden turned 4 today! Can you believe it? 4!!!!! My Baby Boy is not a baby anymore! We had a fun day playing at Mcdonalds with Family and Friends and then later went swimming, which my kids love!! How can they not, with a Mom like Me :)

I've said time and time again, but Haiden, You are such a Joy in my life!! Your smile from Day 1 brightens any room. You have such a sense of others feelings and you always make sure that I am happy, and if not, you make sure to give me a BIG hug and tell me things are going to get better! What a sweetheart!!
You are such a bright Kid, too smart for your own britches actually!! Some of things you talk about amaze me and the things you remember, seriously!! I sometimes think you should be a few years older than what you are!! So, Happy Birthday My Dear!! I am so blessed to be your Mom!! XXOXOXO

2011!!!!

Wow! I can't believe it's already a New Year! I was looking back on all of my posts for 2010, and Man! That went way too fast!! This Year though is going to be Fabulous! I can just feel it!! I have lots to look forward to with goals in mind as well as family events that will make it awesome!


 For me, I am so stoked in doing at least 3 Triathlons this year, as well as doing a few 10ks to get me going with my running! I am so excited, and look forward for my intense training again!! I'm sure I'll be posting about it on my, TrainingBlog  so check it out! Another fun thing that Douglas and I will be doing in June is the Tough Mudder with Douglas' Brother for His birthday. It is going to be CRAZY fun!!! It's in Colorado, so we'll be spending a weekend having the times of our lives :) Can't wait!!


Another big goal for me this Year, is to cook more. If you know me, I never have been much of a cook, but having the wonderful Mother In Law like I do, Susan has taught me lots with cooking, and to make it even better, she gave me a Famiy recipe cookbook with all of her recipes, so that is definitely getting me motivated! I just want to be the type of Mom that my kids can come home to from school, work, ect and know to have a good meal waiting for them! So, wish me luck! I'm sure I'll be posting about it!


 As with Family, we'll be having a Belshe Family Reunion in July at the ranch, which I love, and this year for Christmas, we'll be spending it in Disneyland with all of the Belshes as well as Shears, Wilsons, and more! I just LOVE Disneyland and can't wait to take the kids and have tons of fun with the family!!


SO, I hope each of you make 2011 the best year ever! Write down your goals, talk about your dreams, and just have fun!! By the time this year is up, you'll look back and wish you would have done more!! Take care and Happy 2011 :)
