happy birthday, daddy!

Claire and i made her daddy some cupcakes to commemorate his big day. claire wanted to eat several even after she had a good portion of the batter and frosting. she is definitely a girl after my own heart.


there is no significance to these pictures in regards to this post other than i advise you to take note of the 32 year old man who loves to feed the animals. he is definitely young at heart and it is obviously time to pull out the camera again.



claire's daddy turns 32 years old today. "wow," she says, "that's a big number, momma." it sure is, baby. daddy is getting old, but we love him anyway!
chris, you are a great daddy, an awesome husband and an incredible best friend. i hope that you have the most amazing year as we embark on a number of different journeys as a family of 4. It is hard to believe that one huge adventure will begin in less than 17 days, but I can't wait to let the craziness begin. Although our life has been far from perfect, certainly filled with it's ups and downs, we have pushed together as a team to make the best out of the worst. i wish you all the best today and always, chris. we love you and are very proud of all you do--even though we may tease or make fun of you sometimes :)!!

Happy Birthday Chris! I just want you to know that you share a birthday with a most very special person to me which makes you twice as blessed.

I hope that you enjoy your last birthday as a daddy of just one little girl.

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

Claire, Mya and the NEWS

Chris and I had this elaborate plan on how we were going to share the news with our girls. I ordered adorable shirts, which took forever to get here. They were supposed to ship Oct. 4, but didn't. I am not a patient soul at all. I love to share good news and spread the excitement. We went to a German doctor last week for a gender reveal ultrasound. He was 99% certain of his selection. Claire and I began looking at clothes online. She asked questions about why we were looking at baby clothing, but thankfully, my sister has a little guy and a baby girl who is due in December. They are my perfect excuses for all things baby! Claire asked nothing more and began pointing out things we should buy Jackson or the new baby girl. Our weekends typically involve partaking in a local event or just relaxing, which means a trip to the KMCC Mall. Saturday we went shopping or at least looking. Once again, the girls became excited, choosing items for Jackson or the new baby girl. I decided I cou...
