So I have to tell you...Autumn is amazing! She is so funny and sarcastic and just AWESOME! I've never seen a kid so intelligent and funny. She is witty too. And her facial expressions kill me. She will tell you what she thinks and how she feels and how you make her feel. One thing about her is you will always know where you stand... good, bad or indifferent. She has a vivid imagination too. She is 3 and half and still amazes me everyday. She is so full of life and love. She loves to give loves and snuggle. She is the sweetest thing ever. She has her not-so-sweet side too sometimes but the good far out way the bad.
If she hears you cuss she says, "You shouldn't say dat. Dat's not a good word." "If you say dat again or I'm gonna kick your butt!" She so so funny! She puts her hand on her hip and rolls her eyes if she thinks you are being dumb too. I have no idea where she gets that from. I have never put my hand on my hip like that. Maybe it's from Gma AZ. Hmmmmm...things to ponder. Yesterday she was "talking" to Poppa (my step dad) on her "phone" (it was actually an old eye shadow case). She hands it to me and says, here talk to your dad. I said, Oh my dad called from heaven? She says....No silly, not your real dad, my Poppa Gordon. DUH! Jeez. hahahaha. She kills me! How does she know that he's not my "real" dad? She is so smart. She figures things out so fast and is still so curious about everything. I don't think she will ever stop amazing me. She is so beautiful!
She LOVES her daddy too. They sit on the balcony in the morning (when he's awake) and they just chat for the longest time. It is so cute to listen to her talk so big. Every time he goes out on the balcony she goes out there with him and just chats away. At night when we go to bed she always plays with my hair and pets my face and gets all kissy and lovey. It is so sweet. And tells me over and over again..."I lub you so much mommy. I'm gonna miss you when you go to work tomorrow." She is so awesome!
She is still a little bitty thing too. She weighs in at 31.5 pounds. But she is tall. Almost 40 inches. She is incredible. She loves her Marley too. Poor dog. Probably thinks she is in hell most days. Autumn just won't leave her alone. She is like the abominable snowman with bugs bunny. LOL It is kinda funny until Marley gets hurt.
Dave graduated PHD Certified from Harley in Dec. Now he is in Honda. He graduates from there in June. We are so excited! Autumn and I are so very proud of him. It's amazing that we have been together for almost 6 years and married for almost 5. WOW! It seems like just yesterday I was looking at him from across the pool table wishing he was mine. He is so awesome! He always tells me how beautiful I am and much he loves me. Even though I've gained the weight of a small teenager. hahahah. I am so deeply in love with him still. I have been working out almost everyday and even though I don't see a difference and my clothes still fit the same...He always tells me how good I look and that I am toning up and getting smaller. I think he is just keeping me focused....It's working!
Our bed isn't big enough for all three of us any more so we have a small mattress on the floor next to it. Autumn was doing really good sleeping in it by herself. Then Dave's back started giving him trouble again. Our bed is too soft so now he sleeps on that firm little mattress. Every night when he comes to bed he always pets my head and puts his arm up and touches me so I know he is there and that he loves me. He is so awesome. His attention and love more than make up for the lack of house work he helps with. LOL I wouldn't trade him for anything in the whole world.
I love my little family. They are so AWESOME! Things are really tough right now but with my family and my undying faith in God, I know things will be OK. God will provide!
That's the latest update for now...... See you soon and God Bless you!

Sleeping Angel...Waking Monste
My sweet little Autumn was so cute today. She woke up all snuggly in the wee hours of the morning and I fell asleep listening to her breathe and feeling her warm little body next to me, taking in her sweet scent. She is amazing! I got up for work and got ready and peeked in to check on her and her little mouth was moving like she was talking but no sound was coming out. It was so adorable! Then she woke up......
she was freaking out so bad cuz she knew I was leaving for work. I felt so bad. It broke my heart. She kept saying through tearful sobs, "momma take me work wis you...me go too, me go too!" It broke heart. I felt so bad. She is usally asleep when I leave. I called her a little bit ago and she said she was sitting with Dylan and waiting for me to come home to her. She said numerous times..."come home me...come home me soon!".

Another Update
My last post was in March....TOO LONG!!!! So much has happened since then. Short recap.....moved in with Dave's family for a few months while we were trying to get back on our feet.
Chari and Luis had a beautiful baby boy they named Luis Benjamin "Benji" Ayala. He is so freakin cute! He is a little chunk too. Unfortunately We moved to AZ before she had him so I have not been able to hold him at all. SUCKS!!!!!
Autumn turned 2 in June. She is a riot! Still tiny too. She is tall but still skinny. She never stops going though so that is probably why....that and she didn't used to eat much. She eats really good now. And she feeds herself which is nice. Still on sippy cut though. She did good for a while with regular cups but then started demanding the sippy again. She goes back and forth. Started to use the big girl potty recently but her first bowel movement scared her when it splashed the water. She is done with that now. LOL She "pees" in it a lot....well peeing for her. She also wipes even though she doesn't really "go". But it's a start.
We moved to phoenix so Dave could go the Harley school out here. We've been here 2 months now. It is finally starting to cool off! UGH! I sure do miss the winters in Utah. I miss the snow. It is really nice to be around my family after so many years. Haven't been able to see much of them. But when I do it is really nice.
Autumn has gotten really close to my mom...until I get home from work that is. Then she turns into a brat! Wants nothing to do her. I got another job by the way. It is great! I love it. Still working Castle from home too.
Autumn loves her big brother and her pappa Gordon. He lets her do whatever she wants. I had to break of the "carry me" habit when we first got here cuz all he did was carry her around with him every where he went. Nipped that one the bud. Can't take her to the store anymore cuz she turns into a major BRAT!!! She wants to run all over the place and screams if you don't let her. She is getting better though. we actually have some nights where we get the bed to ourselves too! Woo Hoo! There have been about 4 or 6 nights she has gone to bed with gma and stayed there all night. Although 2 of those nights she came in our room around 4AM. But it was nice to stretch out for a change! hahahaha! She is so independent and the same time still very needy. She is AWESOME!! Sometimes I want to drive off a cliff but those times are very few. When she gets frustrated with something she says "Damn it!" until it is fixed. Trying to break that habit. It's all me on that one! LOL Her newest though is, "What the hell is that?" Or "What the hell is that about?" I try to stop her but I just laugh too much! LOL If you tell her not to do something she says "I DO!" and then we threaten to spank her and she says, "OH MY GOSH! FINE!" She cracks me up! She moves chairs around so she can climb on things like counters....I've not seen her do it but my mom tells me about it everyday! I think she is trying to give gma a heart attack! LOL She loves her dog Capone. They are one in the same! If it's not one it's the other getting into things they shouldn't be getting into. It's like they tag team! LOL
We had our first video chat with our Utah family. It was sooooo cool! We got to see every one and talk for a little while. It was so nice to see everyone and hear their voices and see little Benji. You know you miss them everyday but you actually get to see your family and it makes you realized just how much you miss them. I've spent the last four years with them for holidays and birthdays and get togethers.....more then I have been able to spend with my own family in the last 13 years.....I really miss them. It is definitely hard being away from them all. Being home is bitter sweet. I wish we could all live in the same city or at least the same state. But life is what it is and we have to make the best out of it.
Dave is doing AWESOME in school! I am so proud of him! He is AWESOME! I will post some pics soon. I am at work so I don't have them to upload. Thanks for reading!

Losing It!!!
SOOOOOOO.......I am down 26 pounds now! Woo Hoo! I am no longer shopping in the "Fat Store". hahaha I got a new outfit yesterday. A size 18 misses reg Levi's (no 18 womens) and an extra large misses shirt (not a XXL womens)! I am so excited. I haven't lost anything in the last 2 weeks but I have not gained either. I also haven't been working out much due to my neck being so messed up. I am so excited.....oh yeah I already said that! LOL Did I mention that the size 18 misses reg are almost too big?! Woo Hoo!!!!! Oh and one more thing.....My new panties don't look like parachutes for midgets anymore! Yeah! I will post before and after pics soon. I still have a long way to go but I am off to a great start.

Perfect Morning
Sooo...I woke up late this morning which isn't so good. It is the way I woke up this morning. My beautiful baby girl was laying on my pillow with me, stroking my face and saying, "Mommy way uh" which is her way of saying wake up. It was so cute. I open my eyes ever so slightly and see her looking at me with those big, beautiful, sparkly, deep brown eyes filled with all the love in the world. I couldn't help but smile. I couldn't keep my eyes open at first so she decided help me with that while she just giggled her little head off. Then she put her forehead and nose against mine and started petting my face again....Then daddy grabbed her ans hugged her and she was just being a giggle monster. It was so hard to leave her this morning. Days like this make me wish I worked from home again.....not that I would get anything done when she being so lovey. hahahaha! I love my baby girl....she is absolutely perfect!

The Weight
Soooooo....I started the hCG diet a few weeks ago. I have lost 20 pounds so far(15 pounds of "BAD FAT" and 5 pounds of water). Woo Hoo!!!! I have 3 weeks left for this round, a 6 week break and then hopefully just 1 more round of the hCG and I will be down to my goal weight. Oh yeah! I have also lost 10 inches around my waist! YES!!!!! I am so excited!
