TWO!!

Today our baby girl turned two! I still can­not believe it’s been two years already.  It’s SO bit­ter­sweet as she gets older because we are done hav­ing babies and so all of these mile­stones we hit are just that much more special.

So, it’s time for my annual trip down mem­ory lane!

Fresh baby!  All 7 lbs 1 oz of her! LOL

I love these two pic­tures so much

Bap­tism day

Par­don my hor­rid pho­tog­ra­phy skills in some of these!

One Week

I’ve offi­cially sur­vived my first whole week as a stay at home mom and full time pho­tog­ra­pher.  Of course we haven’t been sick all win­ter and Tues­day B came down with a cold, then Wednes­day Ty got it, and of course, Thurs­day was the lucky day for me!  But, despite that minor set­back, I man­aged to get in all 3 days of train­ing in the Couch to 5K Week 1 and it went much bet­ter than I anticipated!

I also started an Herbal Cleanse last Mon­day too and we’ve really been work­ing hard to clean up our eat­ing habits.  Not only for our own health, but to set a bet­ter exam­ple of the kids.  So, I thought this would be a great way for me to start it off, rid my body of all the bad stuff and start with a clean slate, literally!

A co-worker of mine from TR had told me about this line of prod­ucts and said most peo­ple lose between 5–10 lbs on just this cleanse.  So, I decided to give it a go, as I really had noth­ing to lose.  Well, so far I’ve lost 7 lbs and still have 2 more days to go!  And the best part?  I feel SO much bet­ter, health­ier, and am sleep­ing bet­ter at night too!  I’m sure it’s a com­bi­na­tion of eat­ing bet­ter, exer­cis­ing and the cleanse, but I must say, if you’re in need for a kick start, def­i­nitely give this a shot!

I also signed up as a dis­trib­u­tor so I could get all of their prod­ucts for 20% off because I can def­i­nitely see us using these more long term, the energy drinks have been fan­tas­tic before work­outs and the Oasis, wow, that stuff is sim­ply amaz­ing!  So, if you’d like to give any of their stuff a try, you can shop right through my Shop here!

And here we are…

I’m on Day #2 of my new chap­ter of my life.  It’s been going about how I antic­i­pated it would.  Very busy morn­ings while we get Tyson off to school, then B and I head to the gym for her to play at “the babies” and for me to get my butt in gear.  :-)  I signed up for a 5K at the end of April, so it’s time to start train­ing (did I men­tion I’ve always hated running?!)

It’s so bizarre not hear­ing the alarm go off every morn­ing, but rather hear­ing Ty come into the bed­room ask­ing when I’m going to get up.  Just a dif­fer­ent kind of alarm now!  And lately, they’ve been wak­ing up before 7, hope­fully when day­light sav­ings time ends in a cou­ple of weeks, that will adjust to an hour later.:-)

When we’re home and Ty’s at school, we spend a lot of time in our fam­ily room, just play­ing and hang­ing out.  I think one of B’s favorite gifts she got for Christ­mas was this fan­tas­tic toy!  She lit­er­ally plays with this every day.  She is always busy draw­ing “hor­sies” and lots of cir­cles which she tells us are of us all.  It’s so cute!  I love watch­ing her lit­tle hands draw.

She’s so focused sometimes

Until this one has to inter­rupt her:-P

Steph - This sounds absolutely wonderful…I sure wish I could go work­out like that…maybe one day down the road when life slows down…does it ever though? ha/ha Love B’s piggy’s, I miss those fresh piggy’s that hardly fit in. She defi­nately is grow­ing up before our eyes! Best of luck!

Taci - U are doing awe­some @ doing it all !! keep it up Momma !!

Week of Bliss — Part 1

In mid-January I took a week long vaca­tion with my mom, sis­ter, my aunt and cousin.  We headed out with­out any hus­bands or kids for a week of sun and sand on Maui.  My mom and step-dad have a time­share at the Westin Ka’anapali North and it was spec­tac­u­lar to say the least!!

Every day we had spec­tac­u­lar weather and lots of time to sleep in and relax (bliss to any­one that is a parent!)

It hap­pened to also be my mom’s birth­day on the 17th while we were there so we took her out to a nice din­ner at the Plan­ta­tion Golf Course and it was incred­i­ble!  Pic­turesque doesn’t even begin to describe the view from the restau­rant and watch­ing the sun­set behind Lanai!  Here are a few shots from that evening.  More to come from the rest of the trip soon!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

As we all know it’s Valentine’s Day!  This is one of those hol­i­days that I think is more fun for the kids than us old mar­ried folk:-P Tyson is hav­ing a fun Valentine’s party at school today and Bai­ley is spend­ing the day with her “pop pop”.

Last week­end we had a lit­tle mini photo shoot to get some shots for Ty’s photo valen­tines I made for school.  I got these adorable match­ing out­fits from here on Etsy.  They turned out so cute!

Hope you all have a won­der­ful valentine’s day!
