we were married on march 8th 2003. i can't believe that it has really been 5 years already. i am so lucky & blessed to be married to this amazing man & have the amazing family that i have.
for our anniversary we are going to go out (on our own, with out the little man) for the first time since he was born.
hope everyone has a great weekend!
this has been us the last week...
sick.
& sick.
this is the first time dax has been sick. it's so sad.
he has had:
a temperature
an ear infection
a very very stuff nose
a tight chest
a raspy cry.
it's so sad.
plus the mama (me) hasn't been feeling super 100% either.
to say the least, we have been sick.
but...
i think we are on the mend.
that is a good feeling.
i had to take this photo a few days ago, he was so tired, he tuckered out right in his walker. so cute, but so sick & tired.
i love to be outside. i love to experience nature. today we went mountain biking. man i am falling in love with this sport. its just so much fun! & what better weather than this az winter we are having.
happy saturday.
how cute is this?
i couldn't resist, david have to get the camera fast. but then he ended up doing it the entire time he was eating. so so cute.
I always seem to have good intentions, but never seem to follow through on things I say. It's become a flaw of mine. I hate it. I want to be better, I want to try harder. ok, I want to & I will. so much has happened in the last week or so. i went to san diego for the birth of my sister's baby, a little boy named warner. he is so cute & doing great! i am so excited that dax is going to have a cousin that is really close to his age, only 4 months apart. while i was over in SD i got to hang out with my good friend em, which is always so much fun. i love hanging out with em, especially going to her house & being so inspired by all her cool stuff. just makes me want to create something. so, i did. when i got home i went to the fabric store the very next day & this is what i made:
i love how it turned out. its a throw blanket to lay out on the floor or to take to the park, its heavier & bigger than a cuddly blanket, but it is so soft, made out of knit fabric. it's making me want to create more stuff. & that always feels good.
as far as the working out:
i sucked when i was gone & didnt work out once. but ever since i have been home, 4 days now, i have worked out everyday. so thats good. always gotta get back on the wagon.
i have had no energy this past week. but i am working on some stuff to show. so stay tuned. plus an update of my working out or my mini break from working out after my 21 days of working out without missing one day (except sundays).
i will be back in a day or 2.
accomplished today:
jogging: 20 minutes
i am too tired to write more now, but i will tell about what went on today, tomorrow.
first off...
i NEED to take more PHOTOS.
second...
i know i havent posted since friday. but on saturday i did work out. well, kind of... we (me, david & dax) went to the park together. david has been wanting to get back into skateboarding (back story, we used to skateboard together way back in junior high & high school, yes we have known each other since we were 13). so anyway, we went to the park & we both skated around for a while, then we walked around the park. it was such a beautiful day out, but of course i did not bring my camera (see first off...)
sunday was the perfect relax day. as always. i love a good relaxing sunday. church & then napping & eating & hanging out with family. love that.
today was another good work out day, david got home from work & we went mtn. biking together. it was such a beautiful day out after it had rained all day & night yesterday. i am loving being out doors & in nature.
accomplished today:
mtn. biking: 45 minutes
lunges
today was a much better day. to start it off, dax slept from 830pm till 6am this morning! talk about WOW. got to love that. cross your fingers for tonight! let's hope this is a new trend, i sure would love that. then to top it all off, he seemed happier today than the past few days. ever since he was born he has been a bit (ok, more than a bit) of a puker (spits up a TON!) so finally i took him in to a GI doctor, took a month to get in to see someone. they had me change a few things about his food, mainly adding rice cereal to every bottle i give him, this is suppose to help keep his food down & help him put on a little weight, cause he is just a little peanut. so i have been pumping like crazy & giving him a few formula bottles as well, so far so good. i think that he is getting a bit better at the whole puking thing. hopefully even better tomorrow. love the little guy so much, i just want him to be as healthy as possible.
as for working out today, david & i went on a hike/trail run. so much fun. we are so lucky to have a national forest with in walking/biking distance from our house. it really makes it easy to get out in nature, especially this time of year. can't beat an arizona winter.
accomplished today:
hike/trail run: 30 minutes, 2 minutes hike, 2 minutes run
today was one of those days. you know what i mean...
when your child is extremely fussy.
you don't get anything done.
you don't know what to do with yourself or your child.
when you have tried everything you can think of.
but now he is in bed & things are good. he needs his sleep & i need a few minutes to catch my breath.
dax did calm down for a few minutes & played on his mat, he loves this thing.
also finished this sign for my front door. i am loving making these signs. they are so much fun to make.
today i decided, because dax was so fussy, to go on a long walk as my exercise, it was good, he was calm & that was a blessing.
accomplished today:
walk: 60 minutes
