Let me finish that sentence please.....

Okay, now you all probably think Blaine's a big fat jerk- Not so, everyone. Let's just remember that this is a Reality show! Blaine says "we respect your decision to vote for Joelle..." to continue where the tape was cut and thrown on the floor of the editing room... "BUT we will vote for who we think is best." The girls on his team talked him into changing his vote, but that's not what it looks like what happened. He was mad to say the least. Just don't lose your faith in this good guy. He's just sad that he has to look bad so the show can have more drama. Anyway, he knows what really happened, but it's hard that his integrity was a bit tarnished. We still love you, Honey!

Here's our Smaller Biggest Loser

I think Brecken is gaining as fast as Blaine is losing! This is the one-sie that Alison gave to Blaine when Brecken was born, and he used to completely swim in it. Now we can barely fit his chubby little arms in it! Speaking of which he's fussing for chow again!
Here's his before picture :)

OOhhhhhh! Aren't they cute??



Okay, so as if we needed anymore chaos in our life.... One of our two cats had her kittens on Sunday. She had five little ones, and they are SO sweet! I know I'm saying this now, while they are still small and not very mobile yet. We had debated getting her fixed a long time ago, but when your daughter asks Santa for her cat to be pregnant for her Christmas Wish, what can you do? I knew it would happen sooner or later, and really I was okay with it. I wanted my kids to have this experience at least once because I remember our cats having kittens when we were growing up. It was a neat experience, and Whitney has loved it. Now... as for Blaine and my Mom, I'm not really sure they were okay with it, but so far I haven't heard too much complaining. (That would be more from Blaine than my Mom I think, but he's still a softy anyway- he just calls "no poop duty") 
Sparkles is a good little Momma, the only thing is that she won't leave her kittens in the box we made for them. She continues to move them under our bed, so I just put a towel down for now and let her be. It's kind of a good thing right now because the kids can't reach the kittens- just look at them with a flashlight. We may have to move them to the garage once the kittens start to wander though. I'm sure the craziness is coming, but for now it's a fun thing.

So what did you think?

Thanks everyone for all your nice comments on Facebook for both Blaine and I. It was so fun to watch the show last night- lots of laughs and some good drama! I don't think I would have been telling so many people to watch the show if I had known they were going to show my prego picture though- it just seems kind of like we are all really into ourselves over here. Anyway, watching last night makes me really excited to meet some of the friends that Blaine has made on the show- they are all really dynamic people for sure. Although the producers were so nice with how much air time they gave Blaine, I'm sure they couldn't resist the humiliation of including the puking. Knowing how Blaine builds friendships with people so easily and taking into account how he loves to joke and kid around with people, I am sure they were kind of giving him a little zinger or something. Really though, I am so proud of him that he has changed so much in such a short time, and that he has worked so hard. He is totally not that same person that we saw on TV last night, not just in pounds but in determination as well. So Blaine, thanks for being so awesome and doing this for our family, but I glad you did it most of all for yourself! I get to say it too.... I LOVE MY HUSBAND! You guys did great!
