don't try this take 2

today's "don't try this" was inspired by a trip to target this morning......

DON'T TRY ON SWIM SUITS!

we're headed to the beach in a couple of weeks and i thought i would look for a new swim suit....i though surely my body was in better shape over a year and a half after giving birth as opposed to last summer....(when i still should have been skinnier than i was, but that is a whole other subject)

so i found this really cute tankini.....not even a skimpy 2 piece, mind you,.....a very cute, modest, mommy tankini.....

so i tried on the top and i thought "ok....pretty cute.....this isn't so bad"
but then the bottoms went on......i still feel a little bit sick from what i saw in the mirror....i am just making myself feel better by saying that i had just chosen a size too small in the bottoms....although i could not bring myself to getting the size up.....

eliza kate was in the dressing room with me and when i asked her what she thought about mommy's swim suit, she started laughing....

i'm serious.....

Happy Birthday Kassi

Happy Birthday Kassi!!! Have a great day today. I wish I could be there. My doctor's appointment is in the morning, so I will have more news tommorow on the baby watch. Haley, I hope you are feeling better. Enjoy your day Kas!

Happy Birthday, Libby!

I always thought it was so fitting that Libby's birthday was on April Fool's Day. I'm sure we all have a long list of funny Libby moments.

Sarah Elizabeth, I hope you have a wonderful birthday full of love and laughter!

DON'T TRY THIS

ok....i just did something that i DO NOT recommend.....

i looked at my wedding and honeymoon pictures......

this was a mistake on so many levels..........

*like the fact that i SERIOUSLY doubt that i will ever be that thin or that tan again...
*my husband didn't work 80 hours+ back then
*i didn't have the post baby pooch (but now i do have the baby which is a great thing)
*i had a teeny bit of cellulite as opposed to my massive amounts now

i could go on. . .

now, i am farther from this event than a lot of you. . . going on 5 years, can you believe it??
so, to those of you who have been married this long or longer, DON'T pull out the wedding album (unless you still are that skinny and tan, and then i hate you).....

and those of you who just got married, BE WARNED......

love
kendy

Thief in the Night

Well, I'm not sure when it was, but the camper at our hunting camp was broken into and almost everything was stolen sometime in the past week or so. Michael went out there last night to get everything ready for this weekend (he's turkey hunting), and he found a window broken out. The jerks stole all of his good camo, my camo, my boots, Michael's bow, duck calls, the TV, and even the battery to the camper, etc, etc, etc. I am irate, and Michael is so upset. They also broke into his best friend's camper next to ours and took lots of his stuff, too. Hopefully our homeowners insurance will cover some of it. What a mess....

She's Not Leaning Towards "Crystal Davis"

Hey everybody! I just talked to Haley...poor thing is having terrible morning sickness. BUT the good news is Patrick got a new job, they bought this cute house (see above) and they are thrilled about being pregnant! Congratulations!

Haley asked me to post this and let all of you know about the blog Patrick started: http://patrickandhaley.blogspot.com.

And so another Jamma baby is on the way...

Baby Crystal on the Way

I cannot even believe I had to find out Crystal Gayle was pregnant on Morgan's Facebook.

CONGRATULATIONS!
