Popsicle!

After seeing Azaylee's friend, Damari with his popsicle the other day, I just had to make some for Zay! Good idea Brooke :). I took the pics on photobooth so they are not the greatest but I thought some of you would enjoy seeing the squirt. She loved the popsicles, but even more she loved the popsicle holders. ;) What a funny girl.

halfway there?? ;)

I have been blowing up this pool by mouth for 2 1/2 hours....At this rate, I will finish at bedtime tonight, possibly.

Zay Update

Here are some recent pics that others have taken of our girl. As you can tell, she is very happy baby. She is always smiling and laughing. She is a social butterfly and loves to "talk" She is crawling everywhere, getting into everything, and exploring everything she can. She is going through a stage where she cries every time I leave the room or walk out of her sight. She loves to eat yogurt and cheese and the only food she hasn't liked is carrots. She is pulling up and trying to cruise around the coffee table and couches. Azaylee loves music and veggietales clips on youtube :). Zay is 8 months old now. She is so much fun!

To be a good blogger I need this....

I have no camera whatsoever in my life right now. It is very sad. It has brought me to tears a few times, considering I take zero pics of my child who is growing like a weed. SO, you get no blog posts because without pics, blogs are pretty boring. Enough self pity, maybe I should return that beautiful necklace and get this camera ;).

My Beautiful Anniversary gift!

Aaron bought me this for our 4 year anniversary! Very shocking, considering there was no coupon or catch involved :). We went and picked this up and went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. I can't believe it's been 4 years. Guess time flies when your havin' fun. Love you Babe!

DC

About a month ago, we headed to VA with Aaron's parents, Audrey, Kyle, and Leighra. We stayed in a cabin in Spotsylvania. Azaylee went swimming for the first time and pretty much hated it :(. Hopefully as she gets more used to it, it will become fun. I just thought that since she loves baths, pool would definitely be fun. We also went to visit the Campbells. It was so nice to catch up with them. We spent two fun days in DC. On the way home we went to visit Aaron's Aunt and Uncle in Lynchburg. We had a great time! Here are some pics-

WEIGHT LOSS UPDATE.

I have alot to blog about, but we will start with this topic since this is where I left off. I have lost 12 lbs total now. It has involved hard work and some major changes in my life. I am no longer counting points because I was just gaining and losing the same 6 lbs over and over! Now I have cut out additives, preservatives and most things with food coloring. I have felt so much better! I haven't had any soda or junk food. This means lots of trips to Trader Joe's and cooking lots of foods from scratch. When you actually start looking at the labels it is amazing what is in the everyday foods you eat. I haven't had nearly as many headaches and I have had alot of energy. I have been walking on the Greenway, jogging in our neighborhood, and doing the Shred. It is nice to have some variation in work outs and the weather has been beautiful to get outside in! SO 12 lbs down, 38 to go!!
