The Y! and some extra!

Boy oh Boy! I am loving the Y, Emma is liking it a little more each day...I hope..she gets pretty upset, but she is learning. My good friend Whitney and I are going almost everyday Mon-Friday and working out for about an hour or more per day. It feels so Awesome! We do a 30 minute Curves like Circut then on to 20 minutes on the Treadmill and then 10 minutes of stretching, crunches and leglifts etc. We pick up the girlies and say good bye and head home for much needed naps for the kiddo's. My lifestyle has totally changed, in a good way and not so good way. My obsession with food (and calorie counting/fat counting) has reared its ugly head. It is so frustrating to have a love/hate relationship with food. I know we need it, it is important fuel for the body. I remember when I was in Highschool and anorexic. I was sick all the time, but I was thin! I don't ever want Emma to be that way. I want her to be healthy and happy and have a good relationship with her body. I am working on that relationship with my body and mind. My heart is healing, I have been through a lot when it comes to my image and what I feel about myself. (self-loathing comes to mind) so bear with me I will have many posts that are a bit selfish, but they are therapy in a way.

It's my B-Day and I will cry if I want to...LOL

Just Kidding! Im 35 today and wow time just doesnt slow down. I have joined the YMCA and I am becoming a Gym Rat already. I LOVE IT!!! I feel so incredible after I work out I am giddy and over the moon... gotta love those endorphins!! Have a great weekend!

Emma had her first Ear infection...but seems to be doing much much better! Gotta run!

Bubbles!!!

A new favorite! Emma had a Bubble bath today and was saying 'bubble' over and over. It was really cute. We got out some of our leftover wedding bubbles and she was 'blowing' bubbles for the first time! It was so fun to watch her get goofy over blowing bubbles. It was great!

Emma's New CarSeat!

It came!! Yippee, just in time as she is just starting to outgrow her infant bucket seat. She is too tall believe it or not...but is 7lbs shy of the weight limit. Well, I ordered her a very pretty Britax and it came via UPS yesterday, installed today and Emma loves it! Here are some Pic's of Sleeping Beauty!

Freak Winter Storm!

Yesterday around 4 pm it started to snow....and then about an hour later it was HOWLING and snowing very very hard! By the time I left to go home last night we had 15+ inches on the level and the roads were in such horrible shape, they were washboard, the bumpest ride home EVER!!! I did not make it in our Driveway and had to call my hubby to come and rescue me. The snow was very heavy and wet. Great snowfort making snow. Chris did that today. The sun was shining when we woke up this morning, but there was no school.

Sad Day Indeed!

Darn it! I dropped my beloved NEW Nikon D60 yesterday and I cracked the lCD screen, which has resulted in the camera not working. I was so bummed! I have since pulled myself up by my bootstraps so to speak and I am going to get some estimates and get it fixed! And then I am going to invest in a good Camera Bag!!! Other then that things are going well. My Friend and I are joining the Y this week and should be working out by next week. Yippee!!

Been Busy...what else is new....lol

Howdy all! Well the news around here is that it is Currently 54 degrees at almost 11pm! That is WARM!!! Happy Birthday to my cousin Michelle today too! and My Mom yesterday! My day is coming up soon...ugh! Embrace it Kim!!! You are only as old as you feel...and today I feel 100 lol...j/k

Emma is starting to really copy me and what I say..uhoh..lol..She said Purkle today for Purple, and she says Kitty, Hi (really loud!) Bye Bye..over and over and over...you get the picture there, doggy, mommy, daddy, kiss (Chris) Baby remains our favorite word though...everything is BABY! Ball, Maaa for (Mack the dog) mil (milk) ge (again) She is starting to put some together too like bye baby. I am sure I am missing a lot, but it's hard to understand her and I am her mom!

Chris is involved in Boy Scouts right now and Loving it! The Pinecar derby is coming up and he is really excited. He and his dad have been working on their cars and we (the parents are encouraged to race too!) He is doing pretty well in school too, but does need to work on finishing his school work. He is also taking a liking to cooking, which is great because he has been a very picky eater for the longest time.

We are busy, happy and healthy!
