Maxi,

My darling boy, you are getting SO big! TWO years old! Where did all the time go??
 I feel like I blinked and you went from this...

to this.

So handsome, it's ridiculous.


Please stay my baby forever ♥
Happy Birthday

Free Thanksgiving Printable - 8 x 10

Busy as Bees

Our life has been so great lately. We've been so busy ... parks, the zoo, friends houses, decorating and building things for our new house (excited about that one!), p90x, dental school, planning Max's 2nd birthday party, more parks, throwing our toys all over the house, making cookies, dinner with new friends, watching real housewives with my neighbor, it's been wonderful.

We really feel like we are in the right place, at the right time.

we LOVE it here.

Don't worry. I'm still doing my P90x!!!!!! Just don't have time to blog about it everyday like I initially wanted too.... don't know why I thought it would be simple with two children.

Anywho ...

I really just wanted to blog to share these beauties with you:

I'm in  "decorate my whole house"  mode and wanted something to put up in their room. I've been seeing this subway art all over pinterest so I opened up my photoshop and thought I'd give it a go... and I must say... I do like them!!

They'll look SO cute in their room!!!!!!

Max

He is adorable. Despite yesterday when he rolled in Rambo's pee on the kitchen floor and then picked up Maila. Yes, Max is adorable.

And he knows it.

Self confidence is good, right?

Project P90x - Day 6

Kenpo


Today is the kind of day where I am reminded that I am a mother. More specifically, a mother of two. With a husband in Dental School. A husband that has to study all the time (rightfully so), so I'm left at home with my two children. Alone. Like a lot of other mothers out there. A lot of other mothers who also have two children, that have bad days.

Very bad days.

It's only noon and I'm pretty sure this is the worst day since I brought Maila home. Two screaming children, both covered in dog pee thanks to Max and Rambo (don't ask, don't tell) makes for an eventful day - needless to say.

I couldn't complete my workout because my children are my first priority and they were going INSANE. "Mad, I tell you!! Mad!!" It was a 58 min DVD and I made it until there were only 13 minutes left and then I couldn't handle the screaming anymore.

Kenpo was an interesting workout. Unless you really get into it, and I do mean REALLY into it, it's not much of a workout. You could totally do this DVD and not even break a sweat if you weren't trying. It's just a lot of punching and kicking ... but to get the workout to work-you-out you've gotta get full hip action and everything going on!! Pivot your feet, swing your hips, bounce up and down. When you get into it, it's pretty tough. And I wasn't even going as hard as the people on the DVD.

Honestly, not my best workout. I tried really hard but my children were making it difficult. Grr. Hopefully the next time I tackle this DVD I can have more focus for it .. but something is always better than nothing!!

Project P90x - Day 5

Legs & Back, Ab Ripper

Didn't get around to posting yesterday - Hard workout. Not fun at all. Lots of chin up and pull ups and such, and my chin up bar does not fit in ANY doorway in my entire apartment!!! NOT ONE SINGLE DOORWAY! how does that happen?? Do I need to buy some bands that have an attachment that can be put through the top of a door. It's ridiculous. I'd like to be able to at least try to do a pull up.

Fitting in the workout was hard today - I think I've discovered that I need to do it before Max and Maila are too awake.. Otherwise, it's a nightmare. My legs are killing me today too. Too many squats!!

Tomorrow is Kenpo... now exactly sure what that is, but it already sounds painful!
