BFF's

Look at us young bucks

Last night my friend Switz (Sarah) came to town. She only had a few hours to spare, but she squeezed me in. I had not seen her in a least 4 or so years. She now lives in Colorado so this was a rare opportunity. She flew in late last night and we chatted the night away. I think we stayed up until 1:30am. We had a LOT to catch up on. We talked about our lives now and reminisced about the old days. My photo albums are full of pics of me and Switz. We were practically inseparable senior year of high school. We still have so many jokes that are so hilarious. It was so awesome to see her again and it made me really miss our close friendship. Growing up is hard, but it is nice to know that some things never change.

The Best Robot Ever!

Jensen is 9 months!

Jensen fell asleep in the bouncer. She had a big mark across her head even though I took her out right after this pic.

9 Months:

Weight: 15.9 lbs         3.74 %

Height : 27.5  inches   43.37 %

Head:   17.32 inches   47.41 %

Jensen is so big now. She only gained 1 pound so she is still really little. The doctor isn't too worried because she still eats really well. The only thing she doesn't like are ground meats. (I don't blame her...yuck.) She has over night learned so many things.

-She crawls on her belly mostly doing a worm like motion. She has crawled on her hands and knees for probably 4-5 steps. 

-She is starting to pull herself up on things. 

-She just started clapping and loves when you say,"Yay!"

-She its puffs and cheerios like a crazy person.

-She says,"Dada" but, I am not convinced she knows what it means.

-We call her our little vacuum because she can spot anything on the floor and shove it in her mouth even if we leave her for a second.

-Her favorite song still is, "I'm a little tea pot." It makes her laugh every time.

-She LOVES being nudey naked.

-She loves bath time and doesn't care if the water splashes her right in the face.

-She loves her brother and lights up when he is around.

-She has 4 teeth now and 2 more breaking through on top any minute. 

-When she is excited she crinkles her nose and blows in and out like she is sniffing. 

We love our little Dolly sooo much!

Fatty Fatty 2 X 4

Cass, Lacey and I decided to start a healthy/lose weight blog that will help us reach our goals. Here is the link:
Here
Please tell us what you think and your goals too. We will be weighing in every Wednesday. Check it out if you wanna know the real skinny on getting skinny!


*It is also under "Fat sisters" on the left hand side under our peeps.

Got Salad?

This might not look good to you but, I have been CRAVING all different kinds of salad lately. I think I discovered that you could put all your leftovers on top of spinach and call it a salad. This one is spinach, raspberries, candied walnuts, chicken & cheese tortellini, feta cheese and chicken with poppyseed dressing. Yum-O.

Funny

Blah blah blah...

I am really boring these days. I thought that I wasn't letting this Winter get me down too much, but I am slowly starting to let it make me crazy. I want to be outside SOOOO bad. I want Jay to ride his bike and Jensen to know what the sun is. I cannot wait until Summer, but I will settle for a little Spring. Snow storm coming today.....ugh.

Went to the doctor yesterday and she was amazed at how fast I have healed. It could be the fact that I had enough steroids in me to grow a small man, but still. My back pain is almost all gone. I still have a ton of stretches I am supposed to do everyday along with strengthening my back and core. She did recommended that I need to get a massage often to loosen my muscles, but Randy thinks that I am making that part up. I am allowed to use the elliptical machine and jog on a soft track. No treadmills or outside running yet. Hopefully I can slowly build up to that. But, yeah. I am going to start back walking today and I am praying the my feet don't start hurting again. Literal baby steps.

Jensen is army crawling all over the house. She is unstopable. She still is fussy with those teeth coming in. I can already see what a little handful she is going to be when she really starts crawling and walking. She is so much more daring then Jay and it is freaking me out a little.

Jamison is cracking me up lately. He called me into the bathroom the other day:

Jay:Mom, we need to call poison control!"

Me: Why what happened?

Jay: Remember that new tooth paste you bought me?

Me: Yeah...

Jay: It says on it for 6 years old and up and mom....remember that I am 5!

Me: Oh, it does..thats OK you are almost 6.

Jay:Mom, it says right on it...call poison control.

Me: I think you will be OK Jay. Just don't swallow the toothpaste.

Jay: Uh, mom...too late. A sparkle went down my throat.

Me: Jay, its fine because I am here to see that you are OK, Just try not to swallow any more OK?

Jay: OK, deal.

Also, randy and I were talking and Jay quickly added his thoughts:

Me: I hate doing dishes.

Rans: I hate doing laundry.

Jay: I hate that my bike has 2 flat tires.

Could I love my kids more?

These are a lot of pics these days. It is funny the poses we try in order to get us all in one shot....very tricky.

I've gone mad I think

Well it is official. Randy and I are committed to our races. Randy will be doing a full marathon and I will be there too doing the 1/2 Marathon. I think I just threw up in my mouth. It is in June so hopefully we will have enough time to prep. I am just praying every day that my body will heal so I can train correctly for this race. I am SOO proud of Randy for doing this and actually really proud of myself too. I recall back to my high school days were I would have rather given you my first born then run the 1 mile run every Monday in P.E.. In fact, my dad called me Mo Miler because he knew what a joke it was that had to run. He would always ask me what my time was. It always sucked of coarse, but I always gave it my all. I am still not a runner by ANY means. I run slower then I walk in fact, but the turtle always finishes the race. And, if I have to I'll walk some I am sure I will. I just know I can do this, I want to do this and I will do this!!!!!

* My tune might change of course if my doc tells me I can no longer run and that I am stuck with a life time of "pool" workouts. I will be so ticked.
