5K news

Hi Guys. Guess what. I started 5K training. I'm so pumped. Here's the deal. I'm not a runner. I never have been but I'm totally making myself into one. I can run a mile on the treadmill but since I signed up for my first 5K, I feel like maybe I should start practicing outside. So, I downloaded a little app called Couch25K and have started. It's 3 days/week of intervals that gradually get harder as you go (obviously, right). Yesterday was day 2. I feel better than I did on day 1. That says something right? Now I just need to figure out some weight training for the off days and an eating plan and I think I'll be well on my way to being able to run a 5k and lose some of this weight.

Not a whole lot going on lately, just found out two friends are pregnant so I'm patiently waiting to find out what they're having so I can start making up some baby things for them (pretty much my fave thing to make).

I also really need to organize all my craft stuff. Maybe purge a little. Go through my attic, get stuff ready for a yard sale. It's hard though, parting with stuff, I feel like I never know if I'll need it again (and why buy it if I already have it?).

Oh! I'm also shooting my first wedding in over a year and a half on the 27th. I'm excited but kind of panicking because it has been so so long, but I know that once the day gets here, I'll suck it up and get the job done!

I also deactivated my facebook. It was just becoming a hassle to deal with all the negativity on there. Do I really care what song on spotify you listened to? No. E-cards are funny, but they get boring. Everyone's drama was just too much for me to deal with. I love my life, my little family. Isn't that what I should be focusing on. And if anyone wants to see updates of Lucas, they can always check in...

Have a great day everyone.

9 months.

I notice lately that I have been taking photos of Luke primarily with my phone. It is definitely not the best quality but seems to be within reach whenever I need to snap a quick shot. I love my new DSLR that I got for Christmas from my two guys but it is definitely not for taking quick little snap shots. Thankfully I have a little fujifilm camera that just needed a battery charge.. Hopefully I'll be able to snag some more.

Things have been a little quiet lately so I thought I'd just jump on here for a minute and try to catch up.

Luke is 9 months old now. I may have mentioned, but on the day he turned 8 months at 5pm he started crawling. Yes- I remember the exact time. He was not crawling at 4:45, or even 4:55. At 5 pm on the dot, my dad held up the remote and Luke crawled across the room to get it. So that was kind of awesome.

Now he's 9 months. He eats 3 meals per day, is not a big fan of juice (hooray!), loves chicken and BBQ sauce, will devour a hot dog in no time, likes to eat off of a fork, wants to eat whatever I'm eating (which is a-ok with me, I don't mind sharing with him), loved Stuffed Pepper Casserole, oranges, noodles, broccoli, french fries, summer squash and can crawl super fast. He can stand up and walk along furniture and has been seen multiple times just standing without holding on to anything. He's so observant and wants to be involved in every conversation. He'll fake cough to get your attention and will now grab your chin if you're looking away so that you can look at his face and talk to him. He loves the swings and the see-saw. He still eats everything he finds on the floor, dust bunnies and rocks are not left behind. If you ask for a kiss, he'll give you one and sometimes he needs to just give kisses for no reason. He hollered when his auntie walked away because he didn't get to give her a kiss. He laughs for no reason, kind of like a chuckle. He'll say Num Num when he wants something to eat. He likes Snicker-doodles. He makes a stinky face. If you say cheese and point a camera at him, he'll show you all his teeth. And we gave him a haircut because his hair was in his eyes. He looks like such a big boy now. He's the light of our lives. 

I seriously could not ask for a better kid.

P.S. I'm working on my 20 wishes. I can knock a few things off at least. Maybe I'll get around to doing a post on it soon :)

My life in pictures (lately)

Lucas learned how to give kisses. It's pretty much the best feeling in the world.

And he likes BBQ sauce and Orange Juice. And anything with good flavor, like tacos and stir fry.

He learned how to crawl on his 8th month birthday and hasn't stopped since.

And he just learned that he can pull himself up and walk along the furniture. Which means we're in BIG trouble.

Wish us luck.
