One day while driving along with the kiddos, we passed two women running together on the sidewalk. Evelyn was all excited and yelled, "Look mommy, cool runner girls like you!!" :)

Looking for some inspiration...

I need some new tunes for my workouts... please share your faves!! You know the kind... Eye of the Tiger, Survivor by Destiny's Child, What Was I Thinking by Dierks Bentley, This is How a Heart Breaks by Rob Thomas... anything with a good beat that I can run to. I am tired of my current mix. Thanks a bunch :)

Big BLAH

Since I am not wanting to infect anyone with my case of the blahs... I will keep this short and sweet. Recent cute pics of my big guy:
Thank God for happy little chubby boys! He is always there with a smile on his face :)

New pics

I was in Orlando last week for our company's national sales meeting -- wish I could have seen more of the city (and the pool!) though... they work us extremely hard at these meetings, we barely get a minute of free time! Here is a picture that I found on my camera when I got back into town...
My saint of a husband managed to get both kids to Mass on Ash Wednesday. Quite the feat!
Here is Noah at his friend Lucy's first birthday party on Saturday:

Here is Evelyn and her Uncle Chucky at the birthday party -- he was rubbing the balloon on her head and she thought it was hysterical:And here are a couple pictures that we recently got taken -- I wanted to get a spring picture of the kids... Sorry for the low quality -- I didn't scan the pics, I just copied it from their online site -- but you get the idea :)This pic cracks me up -- my brother and his girlfriend gave Noah the golfing outfit for Xmas, and Trav's neighbor from Sacramento (an avid golfer) gave him the clubs -- so I couldn't resist!!
Life is crazy/busy for me right now... just trying to balance it all without going too crazy :) Almost forgot, here is a video of Noah crawling if anyone is interested.

long & relaxing weekend

Not much going on here... just enjoying the long weekend. Travis has been catching up on some much-needed sleep since his trip. We stayed in and made dinner at home on Valentine's Day (we also both have been enjoying the NBA's all-star weekend games, competitions, etc) We plan on going out for dinner tonight -- decided to wait and avoid the big date-night rush. One of the reasons why I love Travis is his down-to-earth, casual attitude. Neither one of us needs the big Valentine's Day holiday to go all out and celebrate. Five years (this August), 1 dog, and 2 kids later... almost every day still seems like Valentine's Day!! Here is another one of the many reasons why my hubby is the best...
Here is Noah playing with a new toy (actually he got it for Xmas, but it is one the toys that we put aside so we could have "new" toys later on). He is quite the dunker!

Here is how I found the boys (& Cocoa) after Evelyn's bath last night... pretty cute. Evelyn decided to join in: (she is wearing her new favorite pjs -- Elmo, of course!!)

She Swims She Rides She Runs SheROX!!

So... I gave Travis two options... I either wanted to:
1) try for baby #3 later this year (I know -- I am insane)
2) compete in a triathlon

This morning I registered for the Danskin SheROX Seattle Triathlon!! Eeek!
So -- nice guesses for those of you that thought I might be pregnant again. Maybe next year... Wish me luck though -- I have a lot of training to do for this triathlon :)

hey-la hey-la... my boyfriend's back!

Scratch that --- hey-la hey-la... my hubby's back!! Travis got back this afternoon from a two week long work trip to India. I didn't want to mention on my blog that he was out of town -- I was a little paranoid about stalkers figuring out that I was home alone, etc. You better believe that I am thrilled that he is home again!

It definitely was a long two weeks... I don't know how single moms do it... please give your single mom friends a big hug and/or a helping hand -- they need it!!
Here is my big guy -- 10 months old today

More news to come tomorrow.... :)

share the love

I just realized that my last post was all Noah pics -- so here is Evelyn before church today. Notice the bow in her hair... her hair is finally getting long enough to clip back! She wore it all through church, but then it came up missing on the car ride home. I was paranoid that she fed it to Noah! I was imagining waiting for it to come out of him... but thankfully I found it (on the floor) when we got home :)
