1-10

*  I have 1 big hole in my sock right now.

*  Jax has 2 hours until nap/quiet time is over

*  Tyce has to take oral steroids for 3 days to clear up his severe eczema

*  I've had to go into Jax's room 4 times in the last 5 minutes to tell him he must stay in his bed

*  Jax goes through about 6 diapers a day. still. Potty training readiness still seems MILES away.

*  I've listened to Jax sing the Fifty Nifty United States song 7 times today.  yep, he's got it memorized.  I just love him to death.

*  Jared and I are coming up on our 8th anniversary. Oh, and Jax just starting singing Fifty Nifty again; that's 8.

*  My weight loss goal:  9 pounds.  I get inspired by the Biggest Loser.  Some of those people lose 9 pounds or more in a single week!  Unbelievable.  

*  Tyce has spit up 10 times today.  And it's only 2 o'clock.

Gotta love life!  What's your 1-10?  (Anyone who wants to do this:)

Easter

This Easter was very fun.  Jax enjoyed his first Easter egg dying experience (thanks April).  He loved all the colors.  He loved dropping the eggs into the cups making a big splash.  I was trying to keep him clean and avoid a big spill, but he was very careful towards the end.  His excitement was infectious!
Our neighborhood held an Eastser egg hunt for all the kids at the park near our home.  Jax didn't know what to think of all the kids running around finding eggs, but he did find a few to put in his basket.  He found some really cool sports eggs.  
Ready for church.  Adorable if I do say so myself :)  Love these two.

I bought it.

 I have a hard time finding swimsuits that fit me.  My torso is what gives me my height so I need something that fits long enough but doesn't flare away from the body.  I really hope this one fits. 

I am really excited for the summer, and am really working hard at getting my pre-Tyce bod back.  I'm realizing that my plateau is a result of my diet, not from any slacking off at the gym.  You'd think that it would be easier for me to shave off 200 calories by simply avoiding brownies vs. burning the same amount during a weight lifting circuit, but you'd be wrong my friend.  I have wicked  sweet tooth. I'm also guilty of the toddler snack trap.  When I give Jax a snack I find myself helping myself to a few goldfish, or pretzels, or graham crackers.  I just need to tell myself that he is growing- I'm not, or shouldn't be.  So I'm trying to stop the snacking; I think that will help me a lot. 

Anyone have suggestions on cute tankini's (should this one be a bust)?

totally staged..

but so cute nonetheless.  Life is so much fun with kids!
