Weight loss

I have been trying to drop some poundage since numero tres came along. Its hard. Its time consuming. But most of all, its slow coming. I have learned to love exercising again and 'me' time it makes me have. I have started doing Zumba classes. Holy sweat fest! And anyone that knows me at all knows I like to shake it! I am also running 4 days a week. And I am learning to enjoy running. I am also reading a blog called www.trainermomma.com. She is fabulous and has so many great ideas and articles. Go check it out! I know you too will love it!

My biggest problem is eating. I like to eat. And I think I like it a little too much. I am trying to write everything down in a journal but I have found that isn't helping all that much...except making me realize how horrible my penmanship is. But I can't be the only one that has this problem, right? So, blogger world/friends, is there anyone that would be willing to do a daily email with me where we exchange everything that we have eaten for the day? I will write it down before I put it in my mouth and then every evening email it to you in hopes that you will do the same. Maybe that will make me a little more accountable knowing that if I write that I ate 2 or 3 or maybe even 4 cookie dough balls someone ELSE will know about it.

So... what do you say????? Who's with me?

Applebees

Driving down the road, Mimi says "Hey Mom, There's Applebees." Ava says "Yep, and we just passed Cherrybees." Mimi then says "And there is a Grapebees too"!

Who would have thought!!!

Good time with suckers

     

       

       

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few more

 

 

 

 

Still trying....

 

 

 

 

See what I mean....

Valentine Pictures

We tried so hard to get some pictures of the girls. FAMILY... I KNOW you dont have very many pictures of Kinlee. It is so true that the more kids you have, the less pictures there are. So very sorry!! I made the girls Valentine shirts and I think they turned out pretty cute; however getting a picture where all 3 of them are smiling was pretty much impossible!

Quote for the day

We walk in the house from being at the park (thank the heavens that the weather has been nice) and Mimi says :"Mom, the house smells like crackers. Why does the house smell like crackers?" Ava then says "We must of had a showing while we were gone and those people must have eaten all of our crackers!"

Darn you cracker eating house hunters!

Binoculars

A couple of days ago the girls and I were eating lunch and Ava asks

"Mom, can Jesus see us even when we are in our house?"

"Of course honey. Jesus can see where ever he wants."

"But how? How can Jesus see IN our house?"

Mimi pipes up "Binoculars, Ava. He's got binoculars!"

Kinlee is sick... again

Really. So very sad. So very wrong. And I am so very tired of having a very sick and sad and tired baby. Kinlee girl, I sure hope you feel better soon. Love you buckets full!

24 hours

And that is it. I got a full 24 hours of Mama, mama, mama. Now you ask her to say Mama, and you know what she does.... smiles big and then says Dada, dada , dada! Its a good thing you are so darn cute!

Little sayings

Just a couple of sayings I dont want to forget that both Ava and Mimi say:

Instead of I forgot it is always 'I got forgot'.

In a long day ago.... meaning yesterday or the day before.

When someone is going faster than someone else it is ALWAYS 'I'm beating you up'; such as Mimi is running up the stairs and Ava is behind her, Mimi will yell down "Ava, I'm beating you up!". Or, we will be driving and a car passes us "Mom, that car is beating us up!!" Makes it a little interesting if we are in the store and someone goes in front of the other "Mom, don't beat us up!" Awesome!

Oh youngest one...

You melt my heart like nothing else! You said Mama today! OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!! On a sad note you dont feel well. And Ava is still sick. And Mimi is still sick. And now dad is starting to get sick. Lucky for you, your Mama is just fine!!! LOVE YOU lil' one!
