Fifty Nifty...

Fifty nifty United States...from 13 original colonies...shout 'em...

Do you remember this song from grade school?

I was always so proud of myself for knowing all FIFTY states. AND...in alphabetical order!

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut...

I really know them all. Do I need to carry on?

Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana...

I've taught this silly song to Sadie. She knows all the way to Nebraska. It's adorable.

She reads my lips while we sing...so so sweet.

Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine...

I love that little girls love to sing. She sings all day, mostly under her breath.

This weekend it was, "Pharaoh, Pharaoh...oh, no...let my people go...yeah-yeah-yeah..."

Where on Earth did she learn that??

Muscles

Muscles weigh more than fat. That's what my trainer says. You heard it...my trainer. Holy smokes. So, I weigh...just kidding! Did you actually think I would blog my actual weight?? Maybe some day. Anyway, a friend and I have joined a gym and signed up for 20 sessions with personal trainer. We started last Monday...9 days of cardio + 4 personal training sessions = 2 pounds gained. What the *&%*!? Really? This weight better start MELTING off. Fast. I will keep you posted!

Cute Plates...

This is the Before

And After.
My kids LOVE these new plates from Southbank!
I on the other hand...may not be creative enough to use these every night!

Cooper Cracks Me Up

Boys are funny. Boys say really entertaining things.

Ryan has been working a ton lately and this is the first year Cooper has really noticed.

Last week he said, "I'm not sure what Session is, but I will be really glad when Daddy is done with it."

I thought, oh how sweet.

This week when I put him in time out, he says...

"When are you going to session?"

Love you buddy...even though you think you are smarter than me.

Spring Sickies

Blah. I'm alway SO excited for Spring to finally arrive. I seem to forget every year when the trees turn green, so do my kids eyes, nose, etc. I've had poor Cooper attached to a breathing machine for 2 weeks! I'm sure the Whaley's pharmacist is super tired of seeing us. Just when I thought Sadie Re was feeling better...we ended up at the doctor's office yesterday with a DOUBLE ear infection. Poor girl! Well, here's to feeling better AND the end of the legislative session is next Friday...woo hoo!!

Just Another Saturday Mornin'

These are my 4 kids.
Not really...these are my 2 and our neighbors 2.
Kase, Cooper, Kambell and Sadie
Cutest. Kids. Ever.
Kase was at our front door at 9, ready to play.
This playdough project lasted all of 3 minutes before they were off to the next thing.
We are super lucky to have such great neighbors!

Spring's Here!

  Hunting Easter eggs...check out my crack! Too cute.

I'm sure my mother will be appalled I put this up.

 

Cool shades. Her favorite new accessory.

 Sadie and Grammy

Handsome Boys

Things have been super busy around here! I can't believe we are half-way through April. We had a great Easter weekend. We enjoyed several egg hunts and took most of our immediate family to brunch...it was nice to have everyone together in one place! Last week was Kindergarten registration for Cooper. He will be starting in the Fall as a West School Wild Cat..."West is the Best..." He's pretty excited and quickly checked out the playground, cafeteria and the bathroom. Those are the most important rooms, right? We have kept ourselves busy in the yard working on landscaping, planting flowers and cleaning up the deck and front porch. We have a TON more to do, but it will be nice when we can sit back and enjoy it. In other news, there is approximately 5 more weeks of the legislative session and I am ready for it to be over!
