My little Hugh...

That's what I think of with this robe... but my version is MUCH cuter!!!
Poor guy had to get "stuck" today for labs....2nd set of tubes and adnoidnectomy await us on Friday! He was BRAVE until the "stick" then all tears!!! Lots of LOVE and kisses...and a oreo milkshake made it all better! For both of us!

Birthday update!!!

The LONG OVERDUE Birthday update!!! Jackson turned 5 in Feburary and Dane 3 in March... we've had lots to celebrate!
Jackson wanted a "solider" theme as he is VERY INTO ANYTHING ARMY related...tanks, helicopters, planes, camo, etc! So we decided on a BOWLING PARTY (gotta keep the kiddos moving before you give them sugar) and "decked" it out in "SOLIDER" gear!
The Cake was a TANK and we also had cupcakes with "ARMY soliders" on top...think TOY STORY GREEN MEN!
It was a hit...Birthday boy and friends ENJOYED a few rounds of bowling, pizza, and cake!! Hope he remembers his special day!!!

Dane is ALL about MICKEY MOUSE!!! ( probably because it's the only cartoon he watches...and our recnet trip to MICKEY MOUSE HOUSE!) We tried to "venture" outside of the box and decided on a MUSEUM party! It was Lots of fun!!! WE had a private room for lunch, CRAFT TIME, and CAKE...of couse MICKEY MOUSE CAKE!! Then we were able to "EXPLORE" the 3 levels of the CHILDREN's MUSEUM....AGAIN KEEP THEM MOVING= potential naptime for everyone!! I think it was a great SUCCESS!!!

Here are the BIRTHDAY BOYS on their special day!!!






Now we await the arrival of little sister...6 more weeks! But WHO's COUNTING???

Are you keeping up with the EXERCISE??? SPRING is here so at LEAST GET OUT AND MOVE IT!!
I'm still MOVING...teaching 3-4 classes a week...LOVE HELPING OTHERS to SWEAT...helps me stay MOTIVATED!!!

NESTING has started

Finishing up the nursery .... awaiting the FINAL paint design...hence the furniture is on "hold mode" at the store...slowly finding some pink clothes...realizing there is lots of things to buy from PINK BLANKETS, onsies, sheets, bedding, etc... all in the name of baby GIRL!!
DID get a snese of ACCOMPLISHMENT with this purchase today! After great debate and research...as my FIRST INFANT CAR SEAT has expired...did you know they EXPIRED- yup after 6 years from manafactuer date... CRAZY???

Anyway...This is how she will ride...in STYLE and SAFETY!



Much to do!! Making a promise to myself... POST AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK...starting with BIRTHDAY update!

Wordless Wednesday...WOW!

Woah...Wait a Minute!

I can't believe that it's been a "month" since my last post. Totally skipped over February! There was good reason...lots going on from traveling to the SUPER BOWL in Dallas Tx, to Jackson turning 5, getting the boys room painted and starting on "baby girl's" room, a quick trip to Nashville for Juiceplus...and ALL the other daily joys of motherhood!
All is well... the super bowl was great fun and a check off our bucket list! The half time show was the BEST...loving the BLACK-EYED-PEAS and 1000 dancers on the field!




Jackson turning five was FANTASTIC! He's really growing up into a "big boy" as his attitude and behavior are becoming more caring everyday. His manners and understanding of the outside world are really wonderful to see transpire... his latest comment to me "YES your MAJESTY!". Too funny! He also is "getting the connection" at his Sunday school class and this brings great JOY to my heart!


A FULL BIRTHDAY POST TO FOLLOW ASAP!

Things are going well with the pregnancy and I'm staying active by teaching my 3 aerobics classes per week and making sure to get 2 additional cardio sessions in! My GOAL is to teach my last class less than 24 hours before my Csection! No problem...just taking 1 day at a time!

Dane is growing up fast...he turns 3 this week and has successfully been in "BIG BOY UNDIES" for several weeks! The last few days have even been "poop on potty" successes! How wonderful it will be to enjoy NO ONE in diapers or pull-ups...even for just a few months!




Promise to do better with posting!
