Fishing Derby

The fishing derby was last Saturday and we drove to Loveland, Colorado to enjoy the day with my sister and all of her kids. The fishing derby by our house was the same weekend and it just made sense to do it all together. All the kids had fun although they didn't win the biggest or smallest fish contest.






They were able to sit back and relax when they were too hot from the sun and Popa or my sister would take over fishing for them. Popa mostly fished for Rex (neither Miah or myself are fishing type of people) and my sister did most of the fishing for my niece who is 9 months older than Rex. What did they do while everyone was fishing for them?



Well play of course! They ran around, played on the playground, and got into as much mischief as possible but that's what they are suppose to do.







 After they were done fishing they took their fish to be measured. Like I said no one had the biggest fish or the smallest fish but they had fun and that is what really counts.








I love this picture! Popa, Daddy, and Rex walking with his fish. He looks so stinkin' cute carrying his fish! I'm sad that I missed this part. I had a Heritage Makers client to meed with and had to leave early. Since she lived in Loveland it only made sense to meet with her while we were already up there.
 I love this picture too! I could resist putting this on up to share. Thank you mom for taking such cute pictures!










After all the sitting around the kids did while fishing they all had a bunch of energy to burn off so they ran and played and chased each other. I'm always so happy to see the cousins have so much fun together. It makes my heart full of joy. This is why God created family.





So I know you are probably thinking "Why did she add this photo?" but seriously I think it's cute and shows what mom's do all day, wipe noses, or something from our kids faces, hands, feet, where ever! Yes, my son has allergies and it caused him to make "The World's Largest Snot Bubble!" OK, so I may be crazy for enjoying this picture a little too much but I have to say that I was not there when it happened and everyone was snapping pictures. This one is the best one!

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 ...

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...

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...
