Dear Levi

Dear Levi,
I understand you enjoy sleeping with mommy and daddy at night. I enjoy cuddling up with you also. However, I do not enjoy the space your small body takes up in my bed when you lay diagonal and horizontal. You are not supposed to be parallel with the pillows with your cute little feet in my face. I also do not enjoy getting hit in the face with your sippy cup when you are done taking a drink of water. I know this is not intentional but if you could be a little careful I would appreciate it. Lastly, I also do not like getting the remote thrown at my face at 7 am so you can watch Mickey. I know Mickey is super and your favorite but a simple "Mickey Please" would be a much nicer way of asking. It would also probably make for a much happier mommy in the mornings. I love you bubby and I look forward to many more morning snuggles.
Love,
Momma

Pretty cool dudes....

I have the joy of raising two pretty cool kids. I love my boys a lot and am thankful everyday that they are in my life. They have the ability to make my day brighter with one smile, "hi mama", or kiss. This is not to say that I do not have days that are trying or that I do not get frustrated with my super cool kids. I do and I hate it when I do. Overall, I am a momma who loves her boys more than anything and strives to be the best momma I can be.

Last week we enjoyed a nice dinner at our friends house and Levi dressed up as a soldier. He was walking through the house growling at everyone. (Apparently soldiers growl now) It was a lot of fun. He also dressed up as spider man but I could not find the picture.

(sorry this picture was taken with my phone)

Luke was cuddling with Daddy watching cartoons and he put his hat on and just relaxed. He apparently knows that he is super cool and just wanted everyone else to know. Look at those eyelashes. They are amazing!

Poor little fishy

I was vacuuming the edges of the living room with the house last night and accidentally sucked up a fish from Levi's game. Levi kept looking in the hose saying "Oh no it's stucks". It was really cute.

Getting to know you...

Just a little blog hop fun put on by Keely at Mannland 5


1. If you were stranded on a desert island and could pick one person to be stranded with you..Who would you pick? Family members not included.
I would probably take my best friend Beth with me. We always have so much together and it would be a lot of fun.

2. Do you read celebrity gossip?
I am definitely guilty of ready celebrity gossip from time to time. I do not read it daily but occasionally.

3. Favorite show you're watching this season?
Hmm that's a tough one. I would have to say One Tree Hill or Real Housewives of Orange County. Both awesome.

4. How tall are you?

5'3 maybe

5. What was the last book you read?
I have only read books for school in the last year. The last book for pleasure was Tori spellings book Stori telling.

6. Flats or heels?
I love to wear heels but I almost always choose flats. Chasing two boys around is hard in heels.

7. If you had to choose one natural disaster to go through, what would you choose..Earthquake, Tornado, or Hurricane?
Well, since i've lived in an area with Tornadoes the last 4 years I will tornadoes. We always have warnings that there are spotting and one is coming our way. We have time to hit the basement and take cover. Although, we have never actually had a tornado touch down in our area. Thank God!

8. Thong, panties, or (gasp) granny panties?
Almost always thongs. They are more comfy.

Day 4-The Shred and some cuteness

Today is day 4 of the 30 Day Shred. I almost backed out and rested instead of working out. It took Levi FOREVER to go to sleep. He kept taking his pajamas off and running downstairs. When he finally went to sleep at 9:45 I decided not to back out. It felt so great to work out. I am doing consistently better at every workout. There are only a few techniques that I have to take a break on. I am consistently losing weight. I am tracking every few days. Overall, I am very happy with myself for being diligent with working and I am feeling better everyday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The boys love to take the cushions off of our couch and Luke apparently thinks they are to be climbed. He is wearing his daddies hat while climbing the mountain.

Levi had a pacifier in his mouth when I walked in the room and quickly took it out of his mouth and put in his lap so I wouldn't see it. Notice the grin on his face. I love these little guys more than words can express. I am so happy my practicum is FINISHED so I can spend more time with them on Saturdays when my husband is home.

5 Question Friday

I am a little late posting this since it's Saturday today but I want to give it a try. This is my first blog hop but I have enjoyed reading others in previous weeks.

1. What's your "comfort food"?
My favorite comfort food would be sweets. I love to munch on anything sweet, mainly chocolate. Well, I did until I started the Shred. Now it's a rice cake with peanut butter and raisins.

2. Do you send Thank You's (handwritten or email)?
I really try to send out handwritten Thank You's when the boys or I receive a gift but that does not always happen. Sometimes I forget.
3. If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?
Hmm this is a hard question. One Tree Hill is one of my favorites and I love all the characters. It would be my first choice.

4. What is your favorite online recipe site?
I go to allrecipe.com or thepioneer women

5. If you had to choose: "Friends" or "Seinfeld"?
Friends for sure.

oh the soreness...

Day 2 of the Shred was accompanied by soreness. I am happy to feel that the workouts are working but good golly am I sore. I did a pretty good job getting the workouts without having to take breaks. I did have to take a couple few second breaks but overall it went very well. The boys were awake when I did my exercise today and I will not be doing it with them awake again. They did good while I was up doing jumping jack, they jumped along with me, but when I was on the ground they wanted to climb on me. So tomorrow it will have to be done during nap or after they go to bed. I am so excited to be on this journey towards better health and having friends to encourage and sympathize with. My husband is considering doing the exercise too. He keeps saying he is but we'll see if he actually does it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a whole other topic this face just melts my heart. He is the sweetest little guy and loves to snuggle. He is a mamas boy and I love it. He has the bluest eyes and the longest eyelashes. So full of energy but yet so full of love. Just thought you all needed to see it.
