Which is why it's been so long since my last post. Nothing new here. Kids getting bigger and louder. Spring may finally have shown its face for good. General Conference was great~loved Elder Holland's talk especially.I've been working out miminum 3 times a week for the past 6 weeks and haven't lost a single pound. Darn baby weight. I have some really cute summer clothes that I'd like to wear-mostly because I have zero money to go buy more clothes. Sort of hoping that when I stop nursing this last 10 pounds will just fall off. Weight will do that right? Just sort of....disappear? Though I am definately feeling more toned. I'm slightly freaky in that I love to workout. Which is a good thing because I love to eat too. SIL has signed us up for a 10K in Sept. I've never run any race and would love any advice from bloggerland. Hopefully that will help with the weight loss too. Runners seem to have great bodies. And bad knees.....yikes. Already got those.
I find when women have kids it generally takes them a year to get back to caring about how they look. Since having Caitlyn, I have gone out in public looking the worst I've looked my whole life and generally not caring. Because really. No one notices. The checkout girl could care less if my hair is done or if I have makeup on. And when you're running on 2 hours of sleep, vanity is the last thing on your mind. But I'm starting to come out of my mommy stupor and want to look semi presentable again. Hence the working out and wanting to get my hair cut into some sort of style again. Not just throwing it in a ponytail.
Have felt shocked by some recent news. Sad news. I hate news that hits you in the gut and makes your world tilt on its axis for a while. Keeps you humble and keeps you wanting to do better I guess. I had a cousin pass away 3 years ago this July who was very young and I think of her often and how I can't waste my life because you just never know when life as you know it will change forever. I've been enjoying my basically drama free time for these past few months. Here's to hoping that will continue.
Some pics of the kiddies from March-they loved the zoo!

I think about Allison a lot, too. Has it really been 3 years?
Your kids are getting so big! Glad life is drama free. Here's to many more of those days. I hear you on the not-caring look. I went through a (short) period of trying hard to always look nice, but it's hard to care when you're trying not to yak:)
Well you certainly DO have something! Cute kids! ; )
They sure do grow up fast.....way too fast.
I hear you on the sad news. Life can change SO quickly. We have to count all the little things we have within our lives as a HUGE blessing. They all add up, and they can be gone, just like that. One never knows.
P.S. Congrats on 6 weeks of working out! Way to go! Dedicated or what?! Good luck with the marathon.
Cute post! Yea for drama free!! And fill me in on the details of the run - I'd run with you two - consider me the comic relief :)
Hey Erica! Loved your post...your kids are so cute!
I have had to make my blog private but I don't know your email address to invite you to join it if you would like to still view it.
