Somethings are NOT too good to be true!!!

I am SOOOO excited about this new venture I'm on and for those of you that know me..this is very much out of my NORM!!!

After growing people and them basically taking over by body, I finally got my body BACK and decided I wanted to get fit!  I came across this site for these Wraps that after 45 minutes leave you TONED, FIRM, AND TIGHTENED.  (That was about a year ago...)

W

ell then I actually tried a body wrap and OMG...I lost an inch in each arm after one 45 minute wrap!! Then, I tried another wrap on my stomach and lost 3 inches..HELLO, sign me up! 

 The It Works company located in Michigan have all NATURAL products and their #1 seller is the Ultimate Body Wraps.  The #2 seller is  GREENS (honestly I just purchased and am currently trying these..so we can talk later about them, it's 8 servings of veggies in two scoops and you add it to milk, juice water...I give it to my kids as "Shrek Juice")

IF YOU WANNA CHECK IT OUT CLUCK HERE

So since I work as a nurse in a family medical office and see the nation at their unhealthiest, these products really spoke to me....

This graph makes so much sense to me..there should be something that can help people feel better/look better and BE BETTER! 

Cody, the hubby, and I work out regularly and know that without exercise, staying active, and drinking water on a regular basis is a must!! So don't think that just because I have found an amazing product that show immediate results without any exercise (or really ANY work at all) I still know that healthy diet, and exercise are very crucial!----although it's kinda nice to let a product do all the work for you....

HERE IS SOME INTERESTING INFO I FOUND WHILE RESEARCHING INGREDIENTS...

******THIS SECTION MAY BE BORING UNLESS YOUR INTERESTED IN THE "HOW DOES IT WORK SIDE OF THIS ULTIMATE WRAP****

These products are detoxifying and when I dissected the ingredients in the Ultimate Body Wrap I was amazed at the pharmacology of these things! It actually opens the pores, pulls the lipids (or fat) out, there's actually an ingredient that saturate the walls of a cell and work to release accumulated subcutameous fat, it then liquefies and becomes excreted through your system.  Herbs and natural ingredients then replace the cells with hydration.  There's also Methylsilan Mannuronate that will normalize cell metabolism, that reduced cellulite.  And then there is Fucus Vesiculosus that eliminates toxins and renews cells that comes from Thallus or bulbous root. If you wanna get real deep this wrap contains Limonene, it's an orange/pine scent and research has shown that it has anti carcinogenic, or anti cancer effects.  There's more...those are just the highlights, but I'll leave you with those, cause I may have lost some already....

Here are some of the most impressive before and after shots that my team has been able to capture..REAL PEOPLE TOO!! The butt one is actually my team mate :) 

GUYS WRAP TOO!!!!

Defining Gel is awesome BTW..I do have some of that and I use it on the marks my pregnancy left...but those scars are actually fading!! Its like the Ultimate Body Wraps, but un-concentrated....

This one's awesome, especially since I know the girl. She used two wraps a week apart with Defining Gel in between with this great result!!

No-MO-back fat betty!!! lol

This is the actual Wrap, you can cut it up too, I can make 4 chin/neck wraps out of one, so your actually getting 4 uses in one if you wrap your neck!!!

OK so I'm officially a "Mary Kay" or "Avon sales lady"

but it's just worth getting this product out there!  If you haven't tried this you have to cause your missing out..even Demi Moore uses the Facial Wraps LOL LOL!!!

And I have tried them too BTW and they are amazing!!!

Well anyway, the only way to actually believe all my craziness is to try it yourself!! go to my website: http://jenakae.myitworks.com/

Take a look around and if you have any questions, give me a text, or email!

There are discounted price options if you buy through me and I can give you the details personally too!!

I can't wait to hear your results because everyone that I have wrapped has had great ones!!!!!!

Now entering...the HOLIDAYS...

Amarillo has the best Sunrise

When the weather starts turning cool, leaves start falling, and the grass changes gets tracked in my house and covers my floor and DRIVES ME CRAZY, I start to get excited because that means the Holidays are coming and Christmas is soon!! 

It also forces me to reflect on the past year... 

Life has "happened" to my family this past year, both taken and given.  The taken part is sad and hard to get through but as my dad says, my family understands death, and that makes it easier. 

 I will miss my Gigi this year, mostly because Morgan is here and she would love how chubby her cheeks are and how she is smiling and cooing.  Gigi would be so excited to hear that Jordan will soon be a mother and she would have funny things to say about how Jordan will have to really start cleaning and doing laundry more often than monthly. Ha ha. 

This year Kennedy has grown SO MUCH and is a healthy little 2 1/2 year old.  We were also given our little Morgan Kae, who is a chill, laid back, pleasantly plump little sweety. My job is great and Cody seems to be learning more at his daily.  Needless to say us Seatons' are very blessed and extremely Thankful.  We are very close to Cody's family and always get to spend time with them.  I'm lucky...I actual have normal in-laws and love them!! ha ha 

We have been able to visit my parents in Corpus Christi about every 6 months, and my parents get to come to Amarillo almost monthly!

I know there are many more bumps in the road to come and I'm positive 2011 will have a few...but we are a learning family and we seem to get through it as it comes.

This year we are going to my parents for Thanksgiving, so that means we are flying with our almost 3 year old and almost 3 month old...GEEZE! Lets hope those around us are in the Holiday spirit as well and won't mind their chairs being kicked or the occasional cry from the baby.  Lastly here are some pics to keep the parents happy/updated...

Cha Cha Cha Changes...

So a week ago yesterday I went to work going on practically no sleep due to a night full of contractions, worked all morning, and suddenly realized I was spending more time making bathroom trips then tending to patients.  Then around 3 I drove home tired from the day.    Cody met me at home and drove me to the hospital because of a slow leak. 
Cody was pretty funny driving me to the hospital going 80, weaving through all the cars.  Ha ha, what a guy!  When we got there I asked for an epidural but was told I had to wait until I was admitted...SO I did.  I was dilated to a 4 and having progressive contractions every 3 minutes.  It was an amazing Labor and Delivery, I got my epidural after some relaxing IV medications, gotta love Nubian..., pushed 10 minutes and Morgan Kae Seaton arrived PERFECT!!!  Cody couldn't be happier with his two little "spawns".   Kennedy is comical, Cody and I just look at each other after some of the things she says or will do.  She is in love with her baby sister Morgan Grace Seaton, ha ha.  Morgan is so quiet and smiles ALL THE TIME, she must feel how much we all love her so.  Since Morgan is our last one I do occasionally hold her, Cody says I'm spoiling her, ha...and, I am! 

So Due to the above event, a change in blog name was in store.  So it has become Spawns of Seaton, hahaha.  I just love my little spawns!!!!

And 3 turns into 4!!!

 N

TIME for another!

I CAN. NOT. BELIEVE. our second child will be here in 2 MONTHS! So...until then we will be busy busy getting ourselves ready for this little baby girl to come!! That is all....

TO TWO DUDES...

Tomorrow is father's day and so I'll be thinking about the two most important guys in my life, my dad and Cody. My dad's down south by Corpus Christi so he won't be able to spend the day with me...poor guy, but we will get to see him when he comes here for his 50th. That's right 50!! It's a good thing though he's getting closer to retirement, so closer to moving back here with all of us again!!
Cody's a pretty good dad too, at least that's what Kennedy thinks so that's all important. Funny how having a little girl can change a guy so much. But in a good way :)
There are some who aren't as lucky and don't have an amazing dad or husband and I can't imagine my life without them. So here's to you the two rocks in my life! Have a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! Love ya :)

And Brunhilda was her name....

So we have less than 15 weeks, almost 100 days till we become a family of 4 and we have no idea what to name this baby girl!! I haven't really worried all that much but people are asking like crazy and it's starting to make me worry. I kinda had an idea we could just name her when we saw her, but not all baby's look "normal" when they come out so I don't really wanna base it on her...immediate...first, appearance. That probably sounds bad, but it's not her fault she's been squished and swimming in fluid for like 10 months. So so far I'm calling her Brunhilda, Cody wants to name her since he, "was robbed of ever having a boy". Even though he's the one producing all the X Chromosomes. Well, had to get that worry off my chest...well until then I'm gonna try to stay pleasantly plump and growing!!!

oh crap I just realized I'm gonna have to rename my blog too....any ideas??!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH ERRRRRRRRGGGGG

This is the blog I was going to use to catch up on all my events that have happened over the last few months....
I was going to post pictures of my AMAZING weekend getaway with only the girls...
I was going to post pictures of the beautiful hotel, spa, and all the shopping adventures we had...
I took pictures of miss Kennedy in her Easter dress hunting Easter eggs and was going to post those. Also, I finally got a good picture of my two sisters and I before I got ginormous and it was even frame worthy!!
Well, was going to BECAUSE I am not familiar with Windows 7 and I ended up DELETING all my pictures. AHHHH, and there was no one to blame but Bill Gates!!!!! I think I may have told Cody it was his fault though, that happens when you have a computer nerd as a husband and he's sitting right beside you, therefore; gets the brunt of the blame. Welp, until next time....

P.S. 3 more weeks till we find out if this second Spawn of Seaton will be a boy or gal!!!

Do cookies expire??!!

My guess is...eventually....

Kennedy wanted cookies for her snack after her afternoon nap today, and has an excellent memory because I totally forgot those chocolate chip lovelies were still there!!

My mom made those MEGA yummo cookies uhhhh Christmas eve....so there fits my blog tittle :) I didn't want her to suffer alone so I tried a bite. A little crunchier but still so good. I showed Ken how to dunk them in milk and I caught a few pictures for her Nonna and Pepa to see she was still enjoying their cookies!! (never mind they are a little old mom)

Thanks Nonna for my afternoon snack!! Oh and let me know if you notice anything new about Kennedy...or her accessories.....

Don't worry it was temporary I have ZERO tolerance for shedding animals.

First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below.

With tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular! Please wipe away that tear,

for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,

but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,

for it's beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,I see the pain in your heart,

I am not so far away,we aren't far apart.

So be happy for me dear ones.You know I hold you dear

and be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.

I send you each a memory of my undying love.

"LOVE" is the gift, more precious, even than pure gold.

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,

for I can't count the blessings or love He has for you.

So, have a Joyous Christmas and wipe away that tear.

Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

My Gigi left this earth on Christmas day perfectly and suddenly. I am sad and in disbelief. My family feels incomplete without her. But she is SO deserving of where she is and who she is with...and that gives me comfort.
I love you Gigi
:)

Ok well hope you both have a good night Ha ha!!

Day after Thanksgiving

So this isn't the reason for the season, but Black Friday has become a tradition between my sister-in-law Tara and I. We went this year with my friend Krista and mother-in-law. We woke up at 3:30am and went to Kohls at 4. We were in and out in 30 minutes, Starbucks, then on to the mall to hit up the other stores. I took a picture of the damage along with us at our last stop. We were DONE by then.

My little friend is hidden in the picture above, can you find her among all the bags?! We had fun and I got all my shopping done! I love black Friday.
I can not wait for Christmas, even though its kinda already here. Christmas Eve my sisters and their families are spending all day here along with my parents. We have a whole day planned out, starting with football at the park, brunch, a live nativity, games, lunch, the Christmas Story and presents. Kennedy went to see Santa and LOVES him, last year not so much...

Well, hope everyone has a wonderful December! I'm off to get ready for the week!

Happy Thanksgiving

I have been thinking a lot lately about all the many blessings in my life and my families, and it makes me tear up when I realize how lucky we really are. To update anyone who reads this and doesn't know about our current life: Cody is working at Atmos and the company is going through some big changes and moving people around. Cody is staying in Amarillo at the new call center they should start building here pretty soon. He is always wanting a challenge and to learn new things at work and takes on anything he is given. I have the opportunity of staying home half the week and working at BSA Family Medical Clinic the other days or at Children's Home Health with a little girl I've grown to love and just can't let go!! On the days I am at work, Cody's mom Gayla watches Kennedy for us and Kennedy loves it!! So we have so many things to be Thankful for. I am thankful for a loving husband, who does ANYTHING for Kennedy and I and puts us first. I am thankful for the gospel and it's power and truth. I am thankful for a family that is loving and there when we need them and so giving. I am thankful for the example each and every family member sets for my daughter in this world of challenging dangers and temptations. I am thankful for good health and for God giving Cody and I this simple life that makes us so happy and complete. I am thankful for the trials to come and the tools I have to get through them. Recently I am also thankful for modern technology that helped me get my little girl to and fro on our little girls get away last week!! Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and are at a happy time in your lives.
P.S. WOO hoo to shopping on black friday

I've already addressed my Christmas cards!!!

It's true, I found the Christmas cards I bought for last year in my linen closet and decided if those puppies were gonna make it in the mail they better get addressed. I won't tell exactly how long they have been addressed because I really am a busy working mom, and don't wanna sound pathetic.

I know that the sooner the holidays get here, the faster they are gone, but I just am so excited for the holidays this year!! I love Halloween and have had decorations up since September 1st. Kennedy got her costume in today and as I type is asleep in the living room floor wearing it. She is so funny!! So yes mom your right I will be getting my money's worth! (ha ha)

The biggest and most important reason for my excitement is because our little family went through a big change in February (valentine's day to be exact) and it feels like Cody and I are going through everything for the first time, and getting through life much easier and seem somehow to have more patients with each other and our little Grace and the love is much stronger. So DOY I'm excited for the best time of the year!!

The holidays mean family and I, fortunately, love all of mine, in laws and everything:) I can't wait for my parents to come up for Christmas and spend all Christmas Eve along with my two sisters and their families (minus the furry mammals in the back yard) And this year is Thanksgiving with the Seaton's so we look forward to GOOD FOOD and FAMILY, although they probably shouldn't be in that order.

So, I am trying to be patient and take it all in as it comes and treasure each moment, guess I'll have to learn patients. I'll have plenty to keep busy though, next week my sister, sister in law, mother in law and friend, Krista are going to do some MAD shopping in Oklahoma. Then comes Halloween WOO HOO!! So, happy holidays to you all I know for A LOT of you it will be the first with a new baby and it's so exciting!!

I can't post a blog without a picture so here are some from the 2009 Race for the Cure. My friend Lucretia was diagnosed on her 41st BIRTHDAY with breast cancer last year and we did the 2008 walk a week later. So, this year was very special marking the 1 year battle she has had and we all were there to walk with her. Kennedy's shirt last year said Babies for Boobies. This year it said Find a Cure Before I Grow BOOBS!

A true "Coastal" :)

Today I was reassured that my parents were meant to be in Corpus for a very good reason. Instead of my dad having a mid life crisis like a lot of people do after turning 49, my dad did something else today. I feel like a 3rd grader writing a paper because I'm so proud of my dad, and he doesn't read these but if he ever does find out, he's gonna say, "Jena why did you put that thing on there, take that off" in a country boy accent. SO read on and see if you feel the same way I did....

Bicyclist Lucky To Be Alive After Crashing Into The Bay
CORPUS CHRISTI - It's safe to say one man is lucky to be alive after riding his bike into the water.
The whole incident happened at the Nueces Bay Causeway going towards Portland.
A bicyclist was travelling northbound when witnesses say he crashed into the guardrail and flipped over the bridge and into the water.
Some of those quick-thinking witnesses are the reason he is alive.
One witness, Ophelia Garza, told KRIS 6 News, "He was on this side of the road and he just went in front of us and hit this and he went over."
CCPD Lieutenant J.C. Hooper explained, "He veered across three lanes of traffic, hit the barricade on the west side of the causeway and went into the water."
Witnesses say the 50-year-old man was unconscious and floating in the water - and if it wasn't for some good Samaritans, he may not have lived.
Jane Pieper, whose husband, Courtney, performed CPR at the scene, told 6 News, "My husband saw him and said 'Stop! I'm going to jump in and help him.'"
Pieper says her husband, along with another man, Wes Gore, were two of the people who helped rescue the bicyclist and resuscitate him.
Gore said, "Another man named Pieper jumped in first, so I followed his lead and Pieper was knocking the heck out of him - his stomach - I thought he was gone. But anyway, if Pieper hadn't jumped in he would've been gone."
Incredibly, the man was taken to the hospital with only bumps and bruises.
Police say without those who were willing to jump in and save the man, the outcome would've been much worse.
Lieutenant Hooper asserted, "That was above and beyond for them to jump in the water. Luckily, the water was shallow enough that they could stand and support him."

~After talking to my dad, he said the water was a little more shallow than he expected and he and the other guy each have a pretty sore ankle. But that's expected cause my dad always hurts his ankle when he falls/jumps off of things. But that's a whole different story, but if you ask...I'll tell you. But in all seriousness this poor guy could have died if no one would have got to him in time. I wonder if I would have done the same thing or just froze in fear? Guess you never know till it happens. But if you ask me I could have told you my dad would have jumped in...he's "Coastal" now and there's no going back. :)

Our GROWING family!

Our family has more than doubled in size and it has been great!! We just welcomed our lucky #13 to my side of the family February the 19th, introducing...Jared Wesley!!

Don't let the hep lock and oxygen scare you, he just required a few extra things before leaving the hospital. He is doing great, I'm a little jealous cause I think he'll be one of those calm, non-hiper kiddos!

I feel REALLY REALLY bad on this next subject because I unfortunately don't have a picture for our other addition, Kadon Jay Reep. He is #10 on Cody's side and SUCH a good baby, and seems pretty low maintenance. He was born 3 days before Jared.

OH and I should also mention that Fender, our Yorkie, "hooked up" (literally) with Brandon's mom's Maltese and made these.....

Now for our little Grace, I'm having a REALLY hard time with this whole working 40+ hours a week and being without Kennedy so long. Who knew I'd ever feel this way. I will be honest and say that maternity leave got SO old at the end. Here you have this baby and you wanna show her off, get out of the house, take her out on the town...but CAN'T and she only did 3 things: ate, slept and the diaper thing. So needless to say I was ok with going back and getting in the swing of things

She just recently learned to say "wuv you, good girl, bike (bite), woof woof, bye bye, bath, ahh puppy" oh and her favorite..."HI" Really she'll say anything you ask her to after repeating it over and over. She loves to dance and reads her books constantly. Only gibberish of course. She has us laughing continuously and seems to cheer us up at greatly needed times. So, I guess it's obvious I love the girl, but who wouldn't?!!

Here's some pictures most off my Iphone cause its usually all I have around during her cute moments. :)

3 days down, 22 to go!!

We've got our tree up, presants wrapped, 3 days off our chocolate count down calendar, and our house is decked out with our silver and black snowflakes!!! All we lack our the outside lights which have been delayed due to the wind but I won't even pretend I have anything to do with those...Cody gets all the credit!!

Now,on the baby side of life, Kennedy has been breezing through the "hurdles of development" and this weekend was a fun one. In one weekend she: ate dog food, broke an ornament, unwrapped a presant, became the crying baby at Dillards that makes you say to yourself, I'm glad I don't have kids, fell in the bathtub (unharmed)....actually Cody just informed me she broke another ornament this morning...and got her first Goose Egg while throwing one of those lovely fits she just picked up on recently. WHEW...what a busy girl!! Did I mention she knows how to run now and HAS to walk especially while shopping.

After all those things that are to be expected I also know she is so kind hearted and will open mouth kiss you, blow you a kiss, hug your neck/legs, or give you the 6 tooth grin that makes you wish she'd stay that way forever!!

I did partake in the Black Friday CRAZE! Tara Reep, Krista Janke and I all got to Kohl's at 4:00 and got some serious shopping done despite all the static from the non-believers of the amazing holiday!! I will say I did my work this year and planned ahead for the best deals. I got 4 people's gifts FREE, 3 were kids, 50 dollars off Cody's, 30 dollars Kohl's cash, saved 85 dollars at Bath and Body Works, and a certain percentage at each store. Black Friday is a good thing to experience because...

1) It's now a tradition that Tara, my sister in law, and I have together. She comes to get me around 4 and we hit up Kohl's get our Starbucks, head to the mall and meet the boys/family at Kabuki for lunch at 11!! We don't' have a consistent 3rd wheel yet...mom

2) I went Saturday to ensure the sales were legit and only for the early Friday shoppers, and was proven right! No way I would have saved what I did if I would have waited

3) I didn't contribute in any fights or bloodshed while doing this

4) I still have the Christmas spirit throughout the month of December

5) I have to do most of my dad's shopping

6) IT'S FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



OK well no pictures this time, just me rattling my thoughts off...Merry Christmas!!!

IT SAYS....BEST BUY
