i dont know

just thought my sad little blog needed an update..

let's see since the last post chris has gotten his steroid injections via epidural line. that was on friday (today being monday) and they told him to expect it to take 3 days or so before he wasn't too sore to feel any sort of relief. on his way out the door this morning i asked how he was feeling and he said tight but overall better than before.. so this is positive news!
today i traded zim and cindy my child for their carpet cleaner for the day. Our carpet is really cheap so it seems like breathing on it causes stains and its a pain to get the spray bottle and scrubber every time i see a stain so i let them go and then bring in the heavy duty machine to clean it up all nice.. but of course its been in the 80's and 90's for like a week and today .. the day that i need my carpets to dry.. its cold and overcast with scattered showers.. seriously?

next on my list of to do's for the day is head out to get the boys easter basket goodies! chris acts like hes confused about why he keeps getting easter baskets but i think that he secretly enjoys knowing that i thought about him and the things that he likes :)

looking into getting a new car. i love my dear old wednesday but when we have 2 carseats back there (this is NOT an announcement ps) it will be a pain to maneuver them in and out.. lots of time for research but we went and looked yesterday and i found that i really like the mitsubishi outlander.. and we found a good deal on a 2010 one with 17k miles on.. it will probably be gone by the time we are ready though... we'll see.

i guess i should stop procrastinating and get back to my carpets.. sigh

Cute ideas for mothers day

these sisters make the cutest little photo pendants.. they are super cute and i think i just might get one with a picture of me and my momma for her for mothers day :)

20 months

my oh my. time is flying right past us! my little baby boy will be TWO years old in FOUR months..  that just can NOT be right can it??

things with him are mostly the same. a few notable changes are:
he has added more sounds to his vocabulary.. still not many of them are coherent words.. but until this month he didnt really have a broad range of sounds..

he has been sleeping in a little bit later and always wakes up (even from his naps) giggling and laughing and chatting up a storm

his bottom 2 incisors still havent broken through but he lets me know that they are hurting by pointing at his mouth when i ask him what's wrong.

he likes to sit at the table with us for meals and drink out of his big boy cup..

i think thats about all thats new.. not much has changed but he will be taking his second Hawaiian adventure vacation next week :) last year we took him to maui with us, and next week we are going to kauai for a week. Noah's grammy tracy is coming with us so mom and dad can do some fun adult activities.. zip lining, horseback riding, kayaking, snorkeling, etc :)

upland firestation tour with Luna moms group. he had a good time!

loves his "dogdogs" and they love him too!

day 30

a picture of myself today and how i feel:
well today i'm feeling good. Noah and i went on a fieldtrip with Luna moms club to the california science center .. it was WAY too crowded but it wore noah out and he took a good 4.5 hour nap when we got home and i finished a quilt i was working on! this morning before we went we had a photo shoot and here is one of my favorites.. we were copy catting each other .. he's so cute!

day 29

something i could never get tired of doing:
hugging and kissing my boys, hearing them laugh, watching them play. it warms my heart daily. Chris is such a good daddy and noah is such a good (although challenging) little boy... i can't wait to add to our little family!

day 28

my favorite movie:
well i think for old times sake i will have to say Nightmare Before Christmas. i used to watch that movie on a daily basis and i can still quote every line in it.. although its been a bit since i watched it!

day 27

a picture of me last year and a picture of me now and how i've changed:

this is me last year.. (well technically this was 09, but right at the end) i chose it because it showcases pretty well how heavy i let myself stay after i had noah.. he's already almost 6 months old in this picture and i'm obviously still packing the pounds. soon after this i decided it was time but i totally didnt take is seriously.. so while i lost about 15 lbs on my own i still didn't exercise the way i should have. 3 months ago i started a workout class for the post baby body of moms.. its called body back and i was a member of the first rancho cucamonga class. so the next picture is 2 in 1.. the before was taken january 18th the after march 10th

I am taking the class for the second time, we just started this morning. I am going to keep doing body back until i get pregnant again at which point i will switch my membership to stroller strides to maintain fitness and control weight gain this time around!
