Trying to catch up

-

I am really trying to catch up here, posting stories and pictures. I got so far behind before and after Christmas, and I do have an explanation for not posting. I got a Kindle for Christmas. And I have been reading ever since. I have am on my 5th book since Christmas, and I’ve caught up on countless blogs. My own blog has suffered, and I need to catch up. I really want this blog to chronicle our lives and I want my kids to be able to read this later in life. I am putting some pressure on myself to keep it going, even if some blogs may consist of only pictures without much real story telling. This is one of those posts – a picture post of my favs from the past few weeks months.

DSC_0143DSC_0158 I tried to set up a photoshoot with this little man. It didn’t turn out as good as I wanted it to, but he’s still too cute for words, no matter the set up!

We have been having a lot of picnic weather – and good times!!

IMG_7585 IMG_7586 Aunt Deidre watched the girls for a little while and had Marielle lifting some weights and working out. Too fun!

IMG_7612 I have a friend who raises chickens. I get eggs from her and she lets the girls in the coup to pet them. It’s so crazy that Marielle actually touched one!!

IMG_7709 Marielle loves to hold Griffin. She does a great job and will sit there with him for a good 20 minutes or so.

IMG_7813 I put them all in Aliza’s crib together. They had a ball.

IMG_7833 This is what I see when I walk down the hall to check on the girls. When they play in their rooms alone and hear me coming, they scream, “HIDE!” and I guess they think I can’t see them or something. They are so funny together.

IMG_7887 Starting Griffin on some cereal. Don’t be fooled by the picture, it did not go well. Ally’s been feeding him dinner at home, so we decided to start him eating breakfast too. After this, we decided to wait a little longer, he just wasn’t interested.

IMG_7900Marielle painted that purse at a birthday party and wanted it hung right by her bed. It’s not where I would choose to put it, but how could I say no? She wanted to be able to see it. I couldn’t deny her that!

Run. I ran on the treadmill finally today, for the first time since I got pregnant with Marielle. I have been working out on and off since I was 19. I was in college and I noticed that I was out of shape since playing high school volleyball (that first year of college may have also contributed to my out-of-shapeness) and decided to join a gym. I got a trainer and had a few workouts and I stuck with it pretty well through college. When I met Jon, he worked out as well, so it was easy for me to keep up with it. When we got married, we both worked out (usually) 4 days a week. We would get up at 5:00 and go to our separate gyms (I go to an all women’s gym) Monday through Thursday. I even continued to work out all through out my pregnancy with Marielle, but I couldn’t run from the very beginning. When I found out I was pregnant, I kept working out just as hard as usual and started spotting, so I quit running and eased up on my workouts. That was about October or November of 2007. Afte...

A friend in need.

I have a friend. An old friend. A funny friend. A favorite friend. Her name is Jaime Marrs. She was one of my 5 friends at my actual wedding and has been such a fun part of my life. I met Jaime just before my sophomore year in high school, probably in the summertime when we started practicing volleyball. She was a freshman who made the team, but man, what I remember most about her was her attitude. It's not so much that she had a bad attitude, it was that she always had a scowl on her face. I didn't like her. She didn’t talk much and didn’t smile. And she was dating one of the hottest seniors. How dare her? Anyway, one day she didn't have a ride home from volleyball practice. I was riding home with Jill, and Jill offered her a ride. On this ride we talked and laughed and I realized that this scowled-faced girl was pretty funny. I guess the rest is history because Jaime became one of my best friends throughout the rest of high school, through college, through kids, and sti...
