SPRING!!!!

Its been so nice the last couple days. Its the first time since Fall that its been above 60 degrees out. I am LOVING it! I have been getting so much done. I realized why people call it "Spring Cleaning..." because its the first time that its nice enough to even do anything. Spring gives you a type of energy that motivates you to organize or clean. Maybe thats just me, though. Actually, "spring cleaning" just reminds me of how my dad would make us deep clean the house and how much I hated doing it. Can you believe I enjoy it now?!

So this morning I decided to put a short sleeve shirt on and none of them fit me (as in: they are too big for me!), so I went to the mall and got some cute T-Shirts and tops and I bought a size SMALL! I have been a (mostly) Large for a long time. And my pants? A SIZE 2!!!!! TWO!!!! Okay, so its a size 2 in Old Navy, so really its like a 4 mostly, but seriously, I could have cried I was so happy! I have been a size 6-8 for almost my whole "mommy" life at the Old Navy store. The funny thing about it, is that I still am not totally happy with my body. I think its just a really bad body image or something.

Then I came home and while Luke was taking a nap, I FINALLY (and I say finally because I have been meaning to clean out the garage since last Fall) organized my garage and cleaned it all out. It was fun looking through old journals, yearbooks, pictures and more stuff from Rhett's and my childhood. I donated a bunch of stuff to Kylee's school for their garage sale (funds go towards a garden to teach the kids about fresh veggies and plants). I seriously love her school.

When Rhett got home, we all went on a run, with Luke in the jogging stroller of course (I love doing stuff as a family). When we got home from the run, we sat on our back porch in our new patio furniture (thanks to my mom) and blew bubbles for Luke and Bowby.

Today was a great day. I am so excited for SPRING to be here!

The Many Faces of Luke

While my mom was visiting last week, the weather was nice enough to go outside and blow some bubbled. It was hilarious watching Bowby and Luke try and pop bubbles. Kylee came right at the end, but it was still hilarious. See for your self.

For My Family: Updates In March

My kids are really enjoying Justin Bieber. The other day Kylee was telling me "Serenity at school says Justin is a boy, but its really a girl." I corrected her and told her that its actually a young boy singing. She then replied "then why does he sound like a girl?" I just laughed.

Luke is 100% obsessed with the Bubble Guppies! He knows all the songs and dance moves and all the answers to all the questions. It is a cute show, so I don't mind. The kids are enjoying Charlie & Lola so much, I am surprised they don't have an English accent by now! They act out the skits when they play together. Its really cute and so much fun to watch.

Kylee is LOVING all day school. She is really progressing quickly. Her reading is so good and she's always surprising us. Although at times she gets lazy and tried to tell the story by looking at the pictures.

Kylee is turn 6 in just a couple weeks. I look at her beautiful face and all I see is my baby girl. It breaks my heart to see her getting big, but I am so proud of the young girl she is becoming. She's so head strong and independent. She definitely doesn't let anyone push her around.

Luke is now registered for preschool next Fall! I cant wait!!! He knows all his colors, and can count to 10, but that's about it. Before he starts school I have to potty-train him. I an a little worried since last time it didn't go so well. I feel like he's totally ready, but I don't know how to start.

Rhett and I will be celebrating 8 years together this month! I can't believe it!!! That's close to 10 years, and I for sure don't feel like I am that much older than the day I got married. I love him more today than the day we got married. I am truly blessed!
