Who's that girl????

I have been wanting to do this for a long time and finally I got her to sit long enough to do it.!!! She doesn't even look like herself!

Oh Those Sick Days!

As a child, when you are sick, you stay home from school, your mom makes you soup. You get to watch your favorite cartoons and movies. You lounge around all day in your pajamas. As a child you look forward to these days. You almost wish for them. Sometimes you just fake it to get out of school. And then one day you grow up and you are a parent, and you get sick and guess what..... NO ONE CARES!!!!! Your child depends on you to get them up, get them fed, and to turn on their cartoons and movies. They don't care if the night before you didn't sleep at all because your fever was so high that even the covers on your bed were hurting your skin. They don't care that your head was so full of pressure that it felt like your face was going to fall off. They don't care that with every cry and every whine your ears would pound into your brain!!!!!! Nope they are just spoiled and insensitive little people! OH WAIT....I was one of them.
So to MOM and DAD I say, I am sorry! I am sorry for all the times that I faked being sick. Even for the times that I was actually sick but could have survived with out you doing all sick day expectations.

**** Disclosure****
Someone did care....Leslie Larson and Kristi Harvey! Oh and My hubby!

These are pictures of them at the Downtown Memorial Park in Houston. They were both sick and still we took them out into the cold. We are sorry if anyone thinks that we are cruel for doing this to our children! We thought they felt better. Turns out we all got much worse later that day!

The Triathlon........

After having Sophie almost 22 months ago, I was determined to get the baby weight off. I soon realized that it was alot harder to shed anything let alone a pound. Then to my great surprise I found out that only after 6 months of having Sophie I was again pregnant. It was extremely hard to get it into my head that, Yes, once again I would be gaining more weight. I thought I was doomed...I had not even lost anything from the first pregnancy,... how was I supposed to put more back on? During Chloe's pregnancy I was determined if I could not get the weight off, I would at least stay active and workout as much as I could. I joined the YMCA and started taking some classes. It went well, I felt great through the pregnancy. Now it is 6 months after having Chloe and there is no way that I am getting pregnant again. So now here I am, over weight and not happy with myself.
A couple months ago McKenzie Pew and I were leaving from somewhere and she mentioned to me that she would be doing a Triathlon in May. She asked me if I wanted to do it with her. HAHAHA In my head I was laughing and thinking "Yeah Right!" Instead of telling her that, I instead told her that I would think about it. Then one day I found myself telling someone (I'm not quite sure who it was) that I would be doing a Triathlon in May.... ( Oh my gosh did I just tell someone that??) I could not believe that I just agreed to do this. I really hadn't thought about it, and now I was all of a sudden committed to doing this. I'm not a very good runner. I know that I am not the best swimmer, and Biking??? What was I thinking?
What I am thinking now is that I have a few poundage's to loose and what a great way to loose them. I have a great goal in the end. I have great friends to do it with. And I get to see how far I can push myself. I am happy to say that I am excited to do this now.
We started training today and I am feeling it all over. The people that I am doing this with are: McKenzie Pew, Elizabeth Chappell, and JIMMY!!! (and anyone who would like to join us)

A quick and cold Trip to the ZOO!

Sophie wanted to climb over and play with the cute puppies!!


Poor Chloe, she has never experienced that kind of cold before.


As you will see here on your right...a baby nursing on its mom. I wonder if Sophie had any flashbacks.
