GO MU!

‘
Ryan and I are going to dinner and a movie with Gabe and Stephanie tonight. We are going to meet them for a movie, “Four Christmases” and then to Capital Grille for dinner. I am craving some cocunut cream pie, but I won’t eat it. Ryan don’t let me!
This will be another short week for work. I leave on Thursday morning at 6 am for Naples, FL with Stephanie and four other friends for a girls weekend. I can’t wait. Four days setting at the pool and hanging out at the beach. Can’t wait…I need the break. My friend Holly is coming over on Thursday night to help Ryan with Braelyn and then Ryan will take Brae to mom and dad’s on Friday afternoon and will pick her up sometime on Sunday. Spencer will be at his dad’s next weekend. Ryan will have a nice quiet weekend at home with Hoover and Sophie.
MU just sacked KU’s quarterback. Too bad he got up, not that I want him hurt too bad, just out for the game. Braelyn is tearing up what was my Pottery Barn catalog. I guess that is one way to keep me from buying something.
Spencer has spent the weekend with his dad. He’s been over there since Wednesday, I miss him. I know Brae misses him too, she crawls around babbling Bub, Bub, Bub. Ryan misses his Guitar Hero partner too.
Miss Brae is tired, I think its time for a nap and she’s eating paper…nice!
Enjoy the rest of the long weekend!

Braelyn has mastered stairs…need I say more!
GO MU!
November 29, 2008 by RebeccaElledge.com
It’s snowing outside. Our first snow of the year, althoug it’s not sticking, not quite cold enough for that yet. Ryan is at the Murphy’s taking pics of the kids for a Christmas card. Braelyn is crawling on Hoover trying to get to the table in the living room…oh wait, he moved. Braelyn has reached the table and is now opening the drawers. I am watching the MU – KU game. GO MIZZOU! MU just scored, are down 10-7 with 11 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. I want MU to stomp KU again. I realize that I live in Kansas, and just 40 minutes from Lawrence, but I grew up in Missouri – I’m loyal.

Braelyn has mastered stairs…need I say more!
Almost, not quite, but almost
November 3, 2008 by RebeccaElledge.com
Braelyn Grace Elledge, Brae, Brae-Brae, BGE…our almost 10 month old who is now pulling herself up, crawling everywhere, loves to shut and open any kind of drawer, cabinet and door has made several huge milestones in the last month. She will be taking her first step by the first of December, or so I think. Where does the time go. I remember last time this year we were preparing for her arrival. Crazy how time flies. One other thing that she has almost mastered is the word da-da. Ryan has really been working with her (and I have too) trying to get her to say da-da and figure out who da-da really is. After that it is one to ma-ma!
I think it is about time Hoover and da-da get another BGE moment documented! What do ya think?!?!
Brae is 9 months old today!

I can’t believe the time has flown by this fast…its amazing the changes that she has gone through over the last 9 months. She is crawling, has two teeth and is the sweetest thing you will ever see. Soon she will be walking…YIKES!
It is so on!

Ryan and I are down to less than two weeks left until we leave KC for sunny, warm, relaxing Maui. I am very much looking forward to this trip. We both need the break, Ryan more so than me. We both need to unwind, relax and just chill for a week. I started looking at another island to visit, Kauai and Kona look pretty cool. Airfare is pretty cheap to either location, under $300 for both of us roundtrip. So we’ll see…if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
So, back to the "It is so on!"…now that we have less than two weeks to go, I really need to buckle down and get the last 5 lbs off. I’m down 10, but my goal was and is 15. I kind of screwed up this weekend, I tend to do that. I got up at 4:30 this morning and went to the gym, I ran a couple of miles at lunch and hope to do the same tomorrow…although I have a lunch meeting. BUT, I will get up at 4:30 and head to the gym tomorrow morning…note to self, set the alarm.
Okay, speaking of alarms our two alarms (Hoover and Sophie) are ready to come in from outside.
"It’s so on"…Rebecca
Rebecca’s Blog Report…I need to do this more!
September 23, 2008 by RebeccaElledge.com
A lot of things have changed since my last blog report. Spencer made the soccer team and is goalie for BVNW. Their record is 2-1, they lost last night to a very tough Blue Valley North team. Braelyn is officially crawling, is able to go from lying down to sitting up and has a tooth! It’s amazing what a weekend will do to a 8 1/2 month old.
Ryan is busy at work. He has a board meeting on Wednesday, so he will be working late tonight on his presentation. We are getting ready for two big events. Our 3rd Annual Elledge Spook-tacular Halloween Bash and a trip to Maui. I can’t wait for either one of them, but I am truly ready for our vacation. It will be nice to get away from work for a week. I will miss the kids a lot, but I know they will enjoy spending time with the grandparents. Braelyn is going to Grandma Vickie and Grandpa Steve’s while Spencer is spending time with my mom and dad. I know both kids will be, what do you call it…oh yeah, SPOILED. But it will be worth it, the kids don’t get to spend a lot of time with the grandparents.
I am trying very hard to get in shape before the trip. I’ve lost 6 pounds, just need to lose 6 more. I’m hitting the gym at least once, but sometimes twice a day. I am going running with the girls here at work over lunch. I need to cut down on eating too, didn’t do so great this weekend. Ryan and I drove through Backyard Burger on Saturday…I love Backyard Burger…they have waffle fries

Well need to go…till later!

Miscellaneous Monday

Today, August 18th, 2008 we are approximately 60 days away from our Maui trip. I am so excited and can hardly wait. I woke up this morning at 4:30 am and headed to the gym. I got my workout in and was home a little after 6. The nice part about getting up that early and into the gym, my work out is done for the day. The bad news is, is that I need to re-train my body to start getting up that early again. A couple of years ago, I had no problem getting up at 4:30 and heading to the gym for my work out. I was younger, I needed less sleep, and I didn’t have a 7 month old. Now my body needs more sleep, I am older (no comment needed honey), and am blessed to have a 7 month old whom I wouldn’t trade for anything. My goal is to lose 10 lbs before our trip and to continue to get up early and workout. I’m going to try to hit the gym a couple of times during the week at lunch. I feel like if I blog about it, then I have to continue to do it, as it is on the internet forever.
Spencer began his high school career on Friday. He had Freshman orientation. Today was his first full day with the upper classman. I’m sure he had a good day, but being in a school three times the size of his middle school is, well overwhelming. I believe the class of 2012 is the largest class so far to go through BVNW with a size of 440+. Huge compared to my class of 92. It’s amazing, where we live there are 6 high schools in our district, the population of each school exceeds 1,200 kids. 1,200 kids, that is larger than the size of some small towns. He begins soccer try-outs this afternoon. I hope he does well, BVNW was boys’ state soccer champs last year, they take it pretty seriously.
Little B’ is home sick today. She is upstair asleep, I’m working from home, honestly I am. I took her to the doctor this mornin, she has a cold, both ears are irritated and she has not one, but two teeth coming in. She has a reason to be cranky and irritable. I enjoy when I work from home, I have the best of both worlds. She will be crawling soon, she wants to really bad. It’s amazing how fast they grow up. I remember when Spencer was this age, I always wished he would reach his next milestone. With Braelyn, I hope that she stays little longer.
Ryan is headed to San Diego and Phoenix this weekend with Gabe for a Dave Matthews Concert tour. They will also travel to George, Washington (sounds funny, huh?) for a long Labor Day weekend of camping & a DMB concert. Ryan claims that it is the prettiest venue around for a concert. I’m sure the guys will have a blast.
Well need to go check on Brae, and get back to work. Till next time!
