Cute

I'm amazed at how sweet my children and husband are. When I can't find the motivation to exercise there they are...making it so easy. Nate, Emmie, and I have walked up to the park (3mi. round trip) 2 times this week. No crying, no whining, no fighting, no accidents, and no explosions. They make it so peaceful. On Tuesdays and Thursdays my little ladybug is patient as I walk through Upland. And tonight Jerry took Nate outside so I could go on the treadmill for a little bit.

It's so hard to exercise especially when I want to be with the fam. But when Nate says, "Mommy, you go for a walk." "Mommy, we go in the stroller to the park." "Mommy, you go on the treadmill." I can't help but make myself do it!!!! :)

When I picked up my sweet lil' boy at school today he asked me if we were going to the park today. I told him, "Not today, honey." He said, "We'll walk there tomorrow." He doesn't know it but he keeps me going.

Thanks, guys.

I love you bunches!!!

*****New and exciting things are happening all the time!!!!

We went to the zoo for Gracie and Luke's 2nd Birthday. It's hard to believe that they are Terrific Two. It was Nate and Emmie's first time and they loved it. Nate loved running around with his cousins, Aunts, Uncle Ed, and Nana. Emerson just chilled in the stroller. We had lots of FUN!!!

Our little "M" started to roll...she gets on her side and is trying so hard to move to her tummy. She's getting 2 teeth on the bottom, loves to scream, laugh, talk, and blow bubbles.

Skate Taco, Nate, started preschool!!!! He loves it!!! We had orientation on the 8th. He played w/his friend Kate...his future wife. She goes to school on Mon., Wed., and Friday. His first REAL day of school was the 10th. The only thing that caused him to pause was that Kate wasn't there. He goes to school Tues. and Thurs. When I walked him to his classroom I told him that I sissy and I were going shopping, but I would be right back. I gave him a hug, kiss, high five, knuckles, and told him "I love u". He said, "Bye, Mommy"....so CONFIDENT!!! When I picked him up 3 hours later, he said, "Hi, Mommy". That was it!!! Here I was w/butterflies in my tummy and he was FINE. He also kept his underwear dry...WOO HOOO!!!!
