wife.mom.crazy person.

159!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hooooo!!!

It's amazing what a little running, exercise, and diet change will do! I'm really just so proud of myself, I ran an entire mile yesterday without stopping once! I could have ran some more, I think, but I sprinted at the end and about fell over lol! Then Nick and I did Pilates and I did my Carmen Electra ab/butt workout (Nick has decided that he likes to watch me do that one instead of do it with me!). Anyways, so yeah, I'm stoked!

The past two days have been so much fun! On Thursday we took the kids down to the park and had a picnic, and then yesterday, Nick took Brynn on her very first date!! It was just so cute, she was so excited! We curled her hair all over, she got to use some of my Warm Vanilla Sugar body spray (she wanted it on the TOPS of her wrists!), and she looked DARLING! Nick kept saying how much she looked like Mommy, and how pretty she's getting! I teared up a little thinking about someday it won't be daddy she's going on a date with, but she'll be nervously getting ready for her first date in high school! Gah! Then I called my mom after they left, and she started telling me about that song "Cinderella"..look up the lyrics, I think it's by Steven Curtis Chapman. Anyways...

While they were gone I had fun with Nicholas, he is getting so big and so smart!! After his bath I always wrap him up in his fluffy towel and rock him for a bit until he wants to get down, but he's always SO quiet and still and just stares at me with his big brown eyes...it's one of those moments that I always try to file away vividly in my memory for when he's older and definitely does NOT want to cuddle with Mommy! But anyways, after he cuddles like that, I let him run around without his diaper, and alot of times, after a while, he'll find the towel and drag it over to me and hand it to me, then turn around and WAIT for me to wrap him up and cuddle!!! It's SO cute!

Another really funny "Nicholas" thing is I'll be holding him and say, "Awwwww, love Mommy!" and he'll smile really big because he knows what I'm about to do. I'll try again, "Awwwww, LOVE Mommy!" and he'll start smiling again. Then I hold him up and *gently* shake him and YELL " LOOOOOOOOVE MOOOOOOOMMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and he squeals and hugs me tight!! Lol, it's so funny and works every time! He has such a cute little personality!!

Alright, the kids are waking up (8:23...and they go down between 8-9...I know I'm SO lucky!) so I'll leave you with some pictures!!

Swinging at the park after our picnic (poor Honey tied up in the back!)

I love these!

Why Daddies have two arms! Well, I guess I don't know how accurate that will be when we have 3, then 4 kids...I guess that's why parents combined (in our case!) have a total of 4 arms!

Our big smiley girl!

Equally smiley little man showing off his janked up teeth!

Before the big date (I took a million!)

Seriously, she's just gorgeous!

Her 100% new outfit from Old Navy (all clearance!) minus the shoes!

Yes, Nick has my Yoga mat coming out of his head...

I heart them

Brynn just woke up and saw these and said, "The movie was GREAT." (Oh and he took her to Chick-Fil-A and they went and saw Horton Hears a Who)

Getting some fruit snacks to sneak into the theater!

Post-bath cuddle time!

Now for some nakie play!

Anyone hungry for cottage cheese?

He obviously has something VERY important to say...

Nick saw this one and died laughing!! It's Nicholas' favorite hiding place. Quick story: When I was little, my mom would play hide and seek with us, and when she hid, she'd say really high pitched, "hee hee hee hee hee" (fast)...so I've carried on that tradition...so when NICHOLAS hides under the bed, he goes, (really high pitched) "HEE HEE HEE!" It's SOOO cute!

Mr. Nicholas likes to conduct his conference calls in the nude...

I love his adorableness...

He totally says "Hah-loh!"

Mommy's little Imp...

I think he looks very much like my baby pictures in this one...

Belly laughs

This is what little BOYS do with their sister's old kitchen...

And my favorite from this ENTIRE post...

Rolling around and cuddling with his towel..

And lastly, pardon his nudieness...
