Winter Break, Part II

Wew, we are finally back to school today! I asked the kids if they all enjoyed their week of snow days, or "Winter Break, Part Two" as I called it and they were all thrilled to be back to school.

I'm not sure Aria was so ready to go back. She was pretty content being with Mommy all week. 


How do you cure a case of cabin fever? By taking the kids to Red Racks, of course.



Aria found herself some spiffy toys.




You can also cure some cabin fever by having Friday night play dates.


Aria loves people, especially other kids. They wore her out!

Thanks Candice and Linda!


The rest of the weekend was pretty low-key. 

When we met up with some family that was in town, I discovered that I love Mazzio's taco pizza. Heaven! Aria loves anything we feed her, but is still especially fond of ice cold water in her sippy cup.



The dog that we were watching was so happy when we decided to stay in Saturday night for family night and the Olympics.


The older Aria gets, the more hilarious she becomes. She loves to study Levi's every move. Levi commented on some amazing snowboarding by saying, "Wow!" Aria looked at the TV to see what was so incredible, the echoed him with "whoow". Then she had to look back at Daddy and say it again. 

Too much cuteness!





Speaking of amazing and Levi, my treadmill was breaking down and making a terrible noise that hurt my ears. Levi spent his Sunday afternoon working on it and now my exercise machine is fixed! I am so blessed to not only have a husband who can fix pretty much anything, but cares enough about what's important to me to spend his day working on something that only I use.

To show him how much I appreciate it, I busted out a good calorie burn tonight.


That's a great way to wind down at the end of the day!

Have a great Tuesday, friends!

Accomplishments of 34 Weeks

Image
How was your weekend? Ours was busy, but we still had time to play. Sunday was our annual Freedom Celebration at church. Since I'm not playing in the orchestra, I got to sit back and enjoy watching for the first time in the 8 years I have been attending our fabulous church.  We've made it to  34 weeks   so far. That's an accomplishment in and of itself! I'm incredibly proud of these babies! As usual, the babies all got great reports today and passed their tests with flying colors. Baby A: Livi heart rate: 132 She was actually the first to pass her NST today instead of being last like usual. Baby B: Beckett heart rate: 137 Beckett was the sleepy one today. He needed the noise stimulation during the Non-Stress Test, but then woke him up and he passed. He is so squished that we couldn't get any pictures of him today. Baby C: Henry  heart rate: 152 As always, Henry is running around all over the place and the life of the part

5 Month Camera Roll

Happy 5 months to my baby girl! Here's the pictures from our photo shoot today. I just thought this look was funny! Like she's saying, "I've got my eye on your Grandma and Grandpa..." She's happy now, but last night she was up for 3 hours. I could feel two teeth poking through: one on the top gums and one on the bottom. It was a long night. The good news tonight is the heat in the weather finally broke. It was such a nice evening, we sat outside for a little while. Look how funny Aria thinks Gus is when he fetches the ball. The video didn't catch her adorable laughing, but it's still pretty cute. In running news, I jogged 2 miles this evening- no stopping! Jogging has been a real struggle because all the extra weight I'm carrying feels more like 500 pounds instead of 27, but tonight was a success. That's 3 jogs this week!  Here's to keeping it

And We're Crawling

Aria has been filling my days up this week. The 6-9 month wardrobe is in the process of being boxed up. We're on to 9-12 month clothes, and stealing Daddy's hats. Last night, my niece, Jillian celebrated her 11th birthday with us at Olive Garden.                                             Aria always likes a party, but how excited she gets when she sees my mom is the true entertainment.  I'm thankful I got to spend the evening with my niece and the rest of my family. After that great night, Aria was up at 4:30 AM. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that she has four teeth coming in. Ouch. Since we were up at 4:30, I decided to have a fashion show of the clothes we bought Aria last night. Her 9 month professional photo shoot is Saturday. That calls for a new outfit. Although I purchased 9-12 month sizes, this outfit is just too tight. The 12-18 month shirt fits just right. Back to the
