Build a fort!

Sophie only has preschool two days a week for two hours each so we have to get creative on what we do, otherwise she watches way to much T.V.
So today we are going to build a fort!
Pictures to come...

An honest blog

Having kids brings out some serious emotions within yourself. Hubby and I moved back to Washington almost four years ago. We have my parents which I am grateful for but we both realized tonight that our family and friends have dwindled. When we started our family we both envisioned being so involved with family and friends. We looked forward to backyard barbeques and holidays spent with the ones we love. It has become hard though. My sister and her family are in another state for school, my brother is joining the Army and will soon be gone this summer. Jareds brother is overseas and his parents live in another state. Most of my friends from highschool have went their seperate ways and same for Jared. You can only attempt to be involved in others life for so long if it isnt worked on both sides. My extended family is far away and Jareds extended family is all over the United States. Minus my parents (thank god for them) we really dont have anyone. I wanted my kids to grow up with other family/friends kids. It is hard when you pictured more people in your life...and we don't have any.

The 30 Day Shred (Half way done)

I have all along planned to do this video postpartum as I have heard amazing things about it. I about half way done and thought I would share a picture of my progress so far. It says 21 days because a week prior to starting this video I started working out so wanted that time to count as well. I had a cesarian section so I wasnt allowed to work out until about 6/8 weeks postpartum. I started working out 8 weeks postpartum and Im very happy with my results so far. So here are the half way pictures!
