Ugh

I wish I had something interesting to blog about, but nothing is coming to me. We haven't been having a very exciting life lately. Melanie's trying to encourage me to join in her weight loss goal thingy, but it's so hard for me to commit to something like that. I don't know why I have a hard time with it, I obviously have some weight to lose, but I can't seem to get motivated. I have decided to start working out more, I hate sweating for some reason so this is really hard for me. I worked out on our elliptical machine yesterday for half an hour, it kicked my butt, but I had Sierra there supporting me the whole way, she kept saying "good job Mommy" it was really sweet. It was a good enough workout that I was sweating and had to shower immediately to get rid of the icky feeling of being sweaty. I was proud of myself for going so long, I usually give up in about 5 minutes, hopefully I can keep going with it. I might post some stats about myself once I feel a little more confident about my commitment to working out and getting healthier. We'll see.

By Request

After seeing the first Bear walk video of Reece my best friend, Shannon, insisted I put the other ones up for everyone to see. He just looks so adorable, in my opinion.

Bear Walk

Reece has been doing the cutest walk lately. I see a lot of babies doing this Mowgli, from The Jungle Book, walk, but the way Reece does it is so adorable. He seems so mechanical. I got a few different videos of it and I cant remember which one i liked best so I might post another one too.

Slide Off

I had my very first car accident today. It was the scariest thing ever. I was on my way to work, with the kids, and as I got on the freeway I realized it was really icy. I had started to accelerate as I came off the on ramp, but decided to slow down as a car ahead of me started sliding and went into the center median. As soon as I tapped my brakes, I barely touched the brake pedal, I started sliding. I was freaking out instantly, trying everything in my power to correct the problem, but there was nothing i could do. I told the kids everything was fine and said I love you to them and we slid off the freeway int a small ditch. It was terrifying, I was so worried for the kids, I couldn't imagine if anything were to happen to them. Luckily the only damage was that one of my tires was flat, but I hope this freakin weather is going to warm up already, I'm ready for spring.

In the Car

The kids and I spend a good amount of time in the car going to and from work and gymnastics and shopping and so on. I look back at Reece through my rear view mirror quite a bit because he sits right behind me. Most of the time he'll make face at me, which is really nice because it just makes my day happier.

Just a cute pic.

This is one of his best faces.
Sierra looking beautiful.
No more pictures mom, PLEASE!

Spin the Cat

Sierra has really been progressing in gymnastics. Along with being a better listener, most of the time, she's getting a lot stronger and more coordinated. One of her biggest tricks is doing a skin the cat(or as she says spin the cat). I made a video of it and her doing most of the obstacle course they set up at the beginning of class, she had already gone around quite a few times so she wasn't being the best listener at this point, and she always starts to act goofy when the camera comes out.

Painting

I needed something to entertain Reece the other day so I put him up in the highchair with a paint with water book. I didn't have the brush anymore so I just gave him a little bowl with a tiny bit of water in it. he did a great job..........at first

This is his response to my reaction, he thought he was hilarious. AHHH REFRESHING!
