Family Friday!

Our family day at the Butterfly Pavilion...our second try! We first tried to go on Saturday night but they close at 4:15pm and we arrived at 4:20pm. So we chose to go on Sunday morning instead. Rex was fascinated with all the bugs and with Rosie. Mommy is terrified of Rosie and last time we were there I didn't know Rosie was there and when I saw her I ran out of the room (no not screaming, just fast)! So of course I have to have a boy that wants to hold her so I recruited Popa to help out and I mustard all the courage I had to stay there and take pictures.


 So here is Rex 'holding' Rosie!


 Here's all the kids looking at the other bugs they have and spiders. Yuk! I hate this room!


Just some cute pictures of a butterfly and a flower!

She was terrified of all the butterflies and cried and freaked out the whole time. I finally was tired of it so I made her sit in the stroller that meant more crying and screaming but then she fell asleep and all was good. (Baby J)


CiCi's Pizza for lunch! Ummm...Mac & Cheese Pizza! They had a balloon man there and Rex got a snack and thought it was so much fun. It lasted just the day before it was popped and had to be put in the trash.

Playing with the balloons. Baby J got a flower balloon and they played like this the whole time at the restaurant and then at home again. Crazy Kiddos!

We had such a good time taking all the kids around for the weekend. I was really tired after all of our activities but it was worth it. Rex enjoys spending time with his cousins.

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...
