I could elaborate on the pictures but I'm gonna watch a movie with my handsome hubby. So sorry family for the absence of pictures and updates. Just CLICK on the album and see whats been going on. I'll get back to blogging soon. I promise.

Makenna's Pictures

I hate to brag, but I'm gonna anyway.......MY DAUGHTER IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Eli asked me tonight, "Where did she get that curly reddish hair?" I had to come out......I told him that I cheated on him......with Cathie Kurt. The secrets out~lol.

Where is spring

The other day I finally saw a sign of spring, there was a tiny yellow flower starting to bloom. I thought to myself, THANK YOU GOD! Then yesterday Makenna comes down with a double ear infection and Erika comes home from school and guess what....YEP STREP AGAIN. This is our 7th positive strep culture this season! They are both on Amoxicillin and feeling better. Makenna keeps sticking both her fingers in her ears...as you can see.

Tonight I went to my first Yoga/Pilates class. I loved it! I'm feeling a little wobbly though, my legs feel like jello. You can't cheat in a class like you can at home, you know.....those little rests that are taken too often. Being in a class motivated me to try harder. I could see myself getting addicted to it. The classroom was beautiful with music playing and candles, and of coarse, my children weren't running around....which was a huge plus for me. It was quiet and peaceful and I really just had a little me time. I went with my friends Kimmy and Nikki. I'm not sure how often we'll be able to go together because of conflict with schedules and Eli starting golf soon, but hopefully I'll be able to go at least once a week or every other week. If anyone is interested and wants to come with me....... You can go in on a walk in basis and there are a ton of classes to choose from, they also offer a lot of classes in the evening.
I am officially in diet and exercise mode. I love my healthy lifestyles class. I've been learning so much and am truly interested. I am determined to loose 15 pounds. I know it's not much but it is a huge difference to me. I have never been at the weight I am right now NON-pregnant. I know I am at a "healthy weight", but I know I am not healthy because of my exercise and eating habits. Being hyperthyroid has given me the excuse to eat when I want and how much, now I think my age is changing my metabolism and I'm not getting away with what I used to. I want to fit back into my pre-pregnancy jeans. I'm not liking the little love handles that are left behind. Summers coming and last summer I was really self conscious and I wasn't comfortable with my belly stickin out and my pear shaped figure. I really need to try and get up before the kids and work out, but I love my sleep way to much. I feel motivated though and I'm feeling a shift in my attitude. ONE DAY AT A TIME!

About last night

I found out the reason why Eli needs to fix the lock on our bedroom door.......

Ultimately, the most horrific moments of my life. I think I would have rather been caught by my parents.

To all you parents out there.....just because you think your kids are sound asleep because it's 1:30 in the morning doesn't mean that they really are.

Blame it on the Boogie

Some of you may or may not know that Eli is a hard core "old school" Michael Jackson fan. He jams to it and can sometimes hit these high notes. He gets a special star in his eye when Micheal is on. He has now corrupted our children. This is Eli, Erika, and Olivia's favorite song.......Makenna will even start bouncing. It is quite a sight to see! I love my special family.

Nana and Papa love Makenna

Nana and Papa met up with us at the library to see Erika and Olivia's artwork. Makenna was so excited to see them. She also loved to see the "shishies".

There's nothing left to do....except laugh!

Erika has strep throat! (chuckle)

Eli got into a fender bender, he rear ended someone on I275 (after I found out he is fine THANK GOD and realized we have a $500.00 deductible. (LAUGH)

What else is there to do?

I know I should just be happy that my life is great and feel blessed because things could be WAY worse. BUT ENOUGH ALREADY! Just give us a break......

BIG SIGH......

Nasty

I woke up this morning and my eye was buggin me. I looked in the mirror and about had a heart attack. The white part of my eye had a big blister lookin thing on it. I called my eye doctor and they had me come right up. I have a cyst on my sclera. He put some pressure on it to get some fluid out and it's almost completely flat now. He also gave me "free" eye drops. He had samples, gotta love that! He said it is caused by an allergic reaction or a bacterial infection. Eli said that Bandit (my cat), was sleeping on chest when he left for work this morning, maybe it was from him, he makes everyone itch from his long hair. I'll be styling my sexy specs for 4 - 5 days and put drops in 3 times a day. Good thing my life isn't extravagant and I don't have a big ball to go to or anything. Freaky lookin thing!

Erika is an artist too!

Yesterday Erika brought a note home from school. Her artwork was chosen to represent her class at Brighton District Library as well! So on Sunday we will celebrate both of their works of art!

I can't even draw stick figures....so they don't get it from me.
