HAppy Mother's Day!!!

I feel so blessed to be a MOther, Much less a mother to TWO beautiful, healthy girls! They bring so much joy to my life. I love every second of every day because they are here. Yesterday we went shopping and had lunch with my MOther in law. The girls decided that they did not want to go home with Mommy and that they would rather stay the night with Grandma. So, I went home and cleaned my booty off ! Did things like strip and Mop the kitchen floor and clean the bathroom, which are things that I am unable to do while they are here. This morning, I woke up with Massive cramps and have been super emotional- FYI- Not a good thing to get your period on Mother's day - talk about a basket case. Anyhow, I took a hot bath and when I got out, I had two messages. I listened to them in tears! Ayla was saying she loves me and Happy Mother's day. I will never delete the messages! I have to say, it was the best gift of all !! I love my girls!

Scale?

I really need to buy a scale. I am very hesitant because I do not want to get discouraged. I have been doing so great on my diet and exercising. I took ONE day off because my husband is a bad influence and wanted to take me out for chinese. But, that was the ONLY thing I ate all day. I have been keeping a "food journal" of everything I eat and the calorie content. It really helps me. I am hoping I have lost some. I can see little changes in my body. I Know I have lost maybe some inches? The Leslie Sansone 3 mile walk away the pounds DVD is no joke! I find myself covered in sweat and beat red by the end of the 45 minute work out... Oh yeah, Did I mention that everynight I also feel as though my thighs are going to crumble? It really works. Not only is it good for cardio, but you use weights, so it helps shape your upper body as well. I use 3lb weights, which have to be doing something with all the arm movements she has you do. It has gotten a little easier to get through now that I have been doing it for 2 weeks, but it still challenges me, which I like! Let's hope that I see results soon!! So, the question is... purchase a scale or not?

Little of this, Little of that....

It has been Hotter than ever here in Pearsall, TX! We are really in for one HOT summer! Again, I say Thank goodness to not being pregnant! I was pregnant for two summers in a row and looks like this summer is not going to be as mild as the last few years have been! It was already 102 and it is only MAY!!

The house. . .. Things are crusing slowly, but hopefully everything will come together and we will start the building process within the next couple of weeks. Hard trying to fit everything in on Thomas's days off. We still have a few items to get together for the lender- pay stubs, w2s... things like that. We will get it done! In the mean time, Here is a picture of the front of the house and a photo of the floorplan ( Before any upgrades.) We are so excited for this next step in our lives! The community is awesome! Has a great playground, workout room, pool, basketball court, 3 mile walking trail!! I am so excited for myself and my girls! They are going to love all the space in the new home- after living in this coop for months!!

The girls are growing up WAY too fast! Ayla will be 3 in three months! Gosh, where does the time go? Then comes little Miss Hailyn's second birthday. I am kind of freaking out- My babies are not so much babies anymore!!! They are such good girls! I am truly a blessed woman to have such wonderful and beautiful kids. I wish I could have 10 more!! :) Going to try and get to the park today. It is overcast, so praying the slides are not scorching hot!!

Pictures, Pictures and more pictures!

So tired!

Look at my messy girl!

Easter Fun! The easter Bunny brought her a fun new bubble toy! She Loves bubbles more than anything- She does so great blowing them on her own.

Cute little Bunnies!!

Ayla and her thumb!

"Uh Oh!!"

Reading Mommy her book.

Did not take the girls long to figure out that you could eat the playdough. Ayla plays so well with "normal" Playdough, but her sister on the other hand insists on eating anything having to do with arts and crafts.. So I found this recipe for edible playdough. They both inhaled it!They played with it as well :) It is just peanut butter, Powdered sugar and honey- simple enough!

Yum!!!

She did so well with it.

Our Little "cook." She tells me all the time what she is Baking. Most of the time she makes macaroni and cheese or a cake!

I hope you enjoy the pictures! Been hard for me to post since our computer is in our bedroom. And with two little toddlers running around, it makes it hard to post anything--- Will try and figure out a time to do it, like now, when they are BOTH sleeping, which I should be doing as well!

GOodnight!!
