Big Girl Bed.

Alexis is now in her big girl bed. We converted her crib into a toddler bed last week. She did so well! The first night was the only night we had any issues. I would tuck her in and get into bed. The minute I laid down, I would hear little footsteps then a door opening. There she was in our room, climbing up on the bed, and putting me to sleep! Haha! She would say "Mommy go nap, shh shh shh, nap," then give me kisses and run her fingers across my forehead. It was so cute! Those tender moments that you just want to hold on to forever. I would get back up and put her back in her bed and the whole thing would repeat. I finally decided to put the side rail of her crib against her bed and just lean it there so she would think she couldn't get out. Normally this wouldn't have worked, but it was past midnight and I could tell she was exhausted. Sure enough, she stayed in bed all night. We haven't had any trouble keeping her in her bed at all since. We also decided to go and see Beauty and the Beast in 3D with Alexis and Grandma Pam. We all loved it. It's amazing what technology has to offer. She was so entranced with it all. She kept her glasses on for over half the movie! It was so cute, she would turn to me and say "wooow! That's so cool! So fun!" over and over again. She's such a big girl and soooo smart! She's our world.

Blake Shelton Concert!!!

Last night Kort and I went to see Blake Shelton, Justin Moore and Dia Frampton. It was an AMAZING concert. I had so much fun and we were in the nose bleeds and it didn't bother us at all. We danced and sang along and enjoyed every minute of it. We even had peanut M&M's, haha. I've got to say, I've always liked Blake Shelton since my introduction into country music, but I did not expect to like Justin Moore so much. He sounds even better live than on the radio. It's pretty cool being a part of a concert like that. Blake Shelton is definitely a comedian :) and now I like him even more! He's funny but very true to who he is and doesn't sit there and pretend to be what others want. That's the impression I got anyway. So fun!

Alexis got to sleep at Grandma Pam's house and she loved it. This is only the second time she's been away from us for the night, so it was definitely hard for me. In the end, we enjoyed our date weekend very much and she was happy to see us when we got home.

On different news, we decided to start a new weight loss program today. It's called Take Shape For Life. It is definitely not easy and requires a lot of commitment and organization, so Kort and I decided to do it together and see what we think. We know it's going to be hard but commitment is key. We just finished day one and it went pretty smoothly. I think the food isn't the best, but we're just thinking of it as fuel for our bodies and forget the rest. Our dinner was delicious! We made grilled chicken and for the first time ever, baked asparagus with olive oil and a little pepper. It was so yummy! I'm looking forward to loosing the weight I need to lose to be back in the shape I want to be. All this fat is hampering my style, lol.

Daylight Savings. Hmmm.

I don't know why so many people make such a big to do about daylight savings. You fall back or spring forward. Easy peasy if you ask me. You adjust pretty quickly, at least I do.
