i love you babies

Today, another horrible tragedy in this world occurred.  And I'm scared and hate the world that we have become.  I haven't blogged in several days just because we have been so busy, but I am blogging this short post just so my sweet babies will always know just how much I love them.  Love Bug and The Mayor, your mommy and daddy love you more than words could ever express.  You are our world and I didn't want one more second to go by without you having it in writing so you can always look back on this and know how much you are loved.  I pray for you daily and pray for this world that you will be growing up in.  It is a horribly imperfect world filled with tragedy but know we have a peace in knowing this life isn't it for us.  Your daddy and I will do everything in our power to raise you to know, love and have a personal relationship with our Savior so you will have an eternity in heaven where there is no fear, disease or horrible tragedy.  Until then, you will be loved and we will do our best to protect you to the best of our ability.  I love you my sweet, sweet babies.

Easter take 2

Since we had to postpone our Easter dinner on Sunday because The Mayor was sick, we had Easter dinner with my family last night.  PopPop, Mamie, Meega, J, Bennett and Walker were all here.  We hid eggs in the backyard for the kids and then had an awesome dinner.  We hid 15 eggs each for The Mayor, Love Bug and Bennett with each kid also getting an egg with a quarter in it for their piggy banks.  The kids had so much fun running around finding their eggs and The Mayor found his 15 eggs before Bennett and Love Bug found two.  The kid moves fast.

Today was cold and rainy so after a few errands this morning, we spent the rest of the day at home watching movies and doing laundry.  Not the most fun day of Spring Break but it was still a pretty good day.  Tomorrow we are going to get together with Vicki and Aidan so that will give us something fun to look forward to!  After the rain moves out in the morning, the day should warm up to the 60s with sunshine and warm temperatures coming in for the weekend.  And Tuesday's high is 78!  Hello Spring!

day 2 of spring break

Today was another great day.  We went to the gym so I could go to a 10AM class with my friend.  We went to a cardio kickboxing class.  The class was great but the teacher was super intense.  I almost felt like she was training us to be the next "Karate Kid" but I left the class sore and tired.  Just the way I wanted to feel.

After the class, we took the kids to the indoor pool for an hour and a half.  They had so much fun playing in the water, going under the water mushroom and throwing the ball around.  It was great seeing them have so much fun and knowing they were completely wearing themselves out!

After the gym, I took the kids to Chick-fil-a for lunch before heading to Costco and Target and then we were home playing outside with our new bubble guns.  The weather was great again today and the kids had so much fun watching the hundreds of bubbles fly around them.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds for us!

spring break day 1

We started our Spring Break early.  We were up and at the gym a little after 8AM so I could go to a spin class.  Then it was home for a quick shower, a stop to Target and then had lunch with some friends at one of our favorite lunch spots.  We ended up having an impromptu play date back at our house after lunch because the weather was unbelievably amazing.  It was too nice of a day to not be outside.  If I could have ordered a beautiful day, this is exactly what I would have ordered.

Tomorrow we are going back to the gym and then I think we are going to take the kids to the indoor pool for some fun.  The kids love to swim so I think it will be a nice treat for them to swim after playing hard in the kids gym.

I am trying to cram as much fun in the first few days of Spring Break as possible because Thursday and Friday are going to be rainy and cold.  There will be almost a 25 degree difference from the temperatures today and the temperatures Thursday...ugh.  But I won't get too upset because the weekend is going to be back in the high 60s and low 70s.  Hello Spring!
