Mother's Day

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY EVERYONE!!

I had a very nice Mother's Day. I really celebrated a bit early. Corey watched the kids and I got to go to Ross's to go shopping for myself. I really enjoyed it. I haven't wanted to buy clothes because I still have some weight to lose, but I really needed some motivation. It really was nice and I took my mom along with me. Then on Sunday it was buys and although I did get a nice card from the kids I felt like it was more of a normal day for me. Corey is really not into holidays and so I know I can't expect a huge holiday. But at the same time, it makes it nice on Father's Day and other such holidays to relax a bit and know nothing much is expected. They highlight was of course the chocolates they give out at church. I enjoyed those way too much. But I have attached a picture of one of the outfits I bought. I really like it.

Fingernail Painting Day

Lexie has been bugging me about painting her nails FOREVER now. So I finally agreed to get her done. Of course we painted hers all nice and inside the lines. She really wanted to paint mom's so I graciously let her go at it on my toes. I think I got more on my actual toes instead of my toenails, but hey she had a blast doing it. She just kept telling me to hold still like that would make a difference in the job. After that it turned into this photo shoot. Lexie kept wanting to take pictures and so we did. I guess that is why they make fingernail polish remover.

See, look at all that pink paint on my toes.

Lexie took this of Hailey and I. Of course Hailey is not looking.

Just us girls on the self timer.

Our feet together.

Lexie with her fingernails. She is such a girl.

Flashback

I was going through my old pictures and videos trying to get copies made so I can erase them off my hard drive. I found some really cute pictures that I had forgotten about. Plus I found this great video of James about two years ago at the 4th of July at my parents golf course. So just browse and enjoy.

Gabe will kill me for this picture.

Look how cute and little they look

What a Nice Spring Day.

What a beautiful day. I have such spring fever it isn't even funny. So this afternoon I decided to go jump on the trampoline with Lexie. It was entertainment and a moment to enjoy the sunshine. I just wanted to lay down and take a nice warm nap out there.

Sisters, how cute.
Hailey loved it, she didn't even whimper once.

Hanging out on the playground set.

Jumping crazy.

I told her to pose and this is what I got.

A nice aerial view from the playground set.

Static is not nice to fine hair.

Picture thanks to Lexie, although I hate that I have lumpy boobs. I will have to throw that bra away for sure.

Look at that cute smile. Lexie can get Hailey to smile all the time and she just talks away to her. Of course Lexie thinks she is already a favorite in Hailey's eyes.

Lexie decided to get a bit dangerous on me.

Thanks and Dr. Appointment

Once again I have no pictures to post with this. I should have taken the camera to the Dr.'s, but what kind of sick parent takes pictures of their baby being tortured with shots? But Hailey is doing wonderful. As Dr. Ward put it, she is perfect and I have to agree. She is 11lbs 2oz and is gaining daily I think by all the fat rolls on her thighs. She got her first round of shots and of course she screamed her head off. I picked her up and cuddled her to stop the crying. As I am looking at her and talking to her she stops crying and gives me this big sloppy grin. I think she was letting me know she was alright after all.

This morning I was working out with Lindsay and Danielle and I had one of those aha moments brought on by what Lindsay said. She said everything in moderation or people start getting weird. I thought about that and I know I can get "weird" when it comes to exercise and my weight. I don't want to be one of those annoying women who only talk about what size of pants they wear and how much weight they have lost over and over again. So I will try to Moderate and just be healthy. So I will no longer post about weight loss or my obsession with exercise. I really needed that because I was already starting to get in that beyond mode.

Hour Walk-A-Thon

How could you not LOVE this picture? I love my mom even more for this pose. I got a great phone call asking if I wanted to go walking with her this evening. I thought, why not. It was so beautiful and it was nice to talk it up with mom for a whole hour with no interruptions. It was no leisure walk though, we worked up a sweat. This is our flexing pose afterwards. It was a great way to end my day and prep for a day of kids tomorrow since Coweta has no school.

Random Camera Shots

I know I haven't posted in awhile (with pictures) so I thought I would see what random shots were sitting on my camera. I have been really lax about taking pictures and I will attempt to do better now. I just always seem to run out of time and then it is too late. So here are shots not in any order, they just are.

I am guessing Lexie was putting on her socks and shoes, but she just looked so cute smiling at me I had to snap a shot.
Princess Fat Face, she is finally smiling and cooing. I love when they start doing this. I kiss those cheeks many times a day.

Whew, it is so hard when all you do is eat and poop. It looks like she was just plain tuckered out.

The Easter Bunny did a visit and this is what they got. It has been a tradition growing up that the Easter Bunny poops Jelly beans all over the house. The kids love finding all of them and we still find an occasional bean during the weeks after. I forgot to take pictures of the girls in their dresses, we got to church really early and that is really my only excuse. But trust me they looked super cute.
