Oh

Oh how, oh how to pay off student loans!

we might be paying for our last 2 years of living for the next 10- 20!

Woops!

holy COW

So In the spirit of barbeque’s and swim suit season, I bought a few new outfits and 2 new swim suits. I’ve worn them all a few times, so I know what I look like in them. So I put on my fav red top with comfy summer leghth kakis… my hip looked smaller… I couldn’t believe it! I put on my new pretty flower swim suit and my tummy looked less round!!! So this moving thing is working just fine: down 4 lbs.

I’m STILL breast feeding. It’s winding down and I’m ready to quit.

THe pool is cloudy, it kinda looks like cool blue water. The kids and I went for a dip today. The sky was clear, the kids were happy and it was fun. My first time this summer!

I love drinks. especially when I can customize the drink to my mood. I mostly like blue rasberry, but cherry and cirtis flavors and colors are fun too! Yeah Sonic Is Coming Right Down The Street!!!! 1/2 price happy hour is within our reach!!! And not oo may calories either, I can taste the drink too!

Our TV only has 50 or so channels, I’m going through withdraws. And since I would rather spend time with my family I would rather further decrease our services to 12 channels?… We’ll see.  We do watch mostly movies, so I suppose it wouldn’t matter, and we would have more free $ just flouting around to be sucked down into our gas tank. I heard the other day $5 a gallon by 4th of July… I have no feelings or thoughts, it’s just a shame that we haven’t been able to get beyond  ourselves to solve our problems. If people could just step back and think objectively about a situation… we would probably still be in the garden. It makes me sad.

My husband is golfing… He’s going out tonight with his buddies… And ‘taking’ us to a cook out (right) and he may be going on a bike ride too. I hope all this satisfied his need (at least for a little while) to be an independent family man.

All babies are sleeping and so must I.

the kids

Well We made it through our vacation. After many many hours in the van, 5 major city stops and 8 day trips we survived with three kids under 5!

The day we got back we went down town and became members of the Riverplex. We have gone everyday doing step, attack, pump and spinning. We have walked a mile after ever work out. I enjoy it, after being pregnant for a year it is wonderful to actually move my body and not have to worry about shearing off my placenta. The added bonus I’ve lost 1.6 lbs already and I wasn’t even trying!!!!! So I move and I get skinny, I’m cool with that!

Colton has exploded with his language skills. He is talking more and more everyday. We can understand almost everything, just the other day he asked if he could have more “juicy broccoli”!!!! First off what 2 year old likes broccoli AND describes it as juicy! He loves air planes and choo choo trains, so that’s the majority of his focus.

Jacob is doing wonderful. He is babbling and spitting.  He is sitting up all on his own and doing well with self feeding and eating solids, and he is down to 3 bottles a day. Next I think we will start using a sippy cup! He is growing so fast too, already in 9-12 month clothing!!! All I can say is I’m glad that he has a Big brother.
Hallie has finished her first week of VBS at Grace.  I went to that church when I was  kid so I figured why not send her too. She enjoyed it and the people there are mostly nice. We are looking at a really long summer home, she is already talking about turning 5 and starting kindergarten.  I’ve all but made the decision to put her into the public school system. We weren’t satisfied with her private education so we are going to try something different this year.

Well the initial intention for this entry was not at all what it turned out to be. Maybe I’ll touch on that later.
