My diet!

It is official! I am down to my pre-pregnancy weight! Yeah!

I put myself on a diet and so far it has been working. I have lost the 50 pounds I put on during the pregnancy and now my new goal is ten more pounds. I need to lose ten more pounds by May 1st.

That is when the pools open.

(to be read with terror)

The diet is not that bad, and of the few things I can eat and can eat as much as I want. Which for me is why this diet is working. I love to eat!!!

I can have all the lean meats and vegs I want! Chicken, turkey, fish, and even lean beef or pork is fine.

I can have non-fat dairy and eggs too. I love my eggs so again this diet it working well with the food I like. I can even have sugar free desserts so if I am having a weak moment and need something sweet, I grab a fudge bar or jello or chocolate. Just as long as it's sugar free.

So far, so good! Ten more pounds, here I come!

Funny pic!

What can I say? She wants the cheese.

Fun at Aunt Kacee's

We love going out to Aunt Kacee's house because she lives out in AJ. It is so nice out there and the weather is always so wonderful. She has a friend that lives next door that has horses for us to love on and when the sun sets it is just beautiful.

Oh, . . and Cookie . . .

See that blur in the corner of the picture that is Cookie. She is chihuahua mix and around these girls she never sits still. Good thing too, the girls love to watch her run around everywhere. They get such a kick out of it.

Izzy was bouncing all over the place this time when we went out there, which Aunt Kacee loved. Maybe she will let us take Cookie home with us, probably not!

(Pepper in green, Izzy in black)

Izzy and Pepper really love to watch the horses. This one is really nice and we were able to pet him and even feed him.

Pepper wanted to touch him, but I was worried that the horse might think those cute little baby fingers looked too yummy. So I had to hold her hand back.

We always have such a fun time out at Kacee's. We will have to come back soon!

7 Months

Wow this month has been a blur. The time is going by so fast and I know it is only going to get worse. The girls are growing so much and this month it seems like they have been growing over night. They can sit up now all on their own and have even tried getting up on all fours. They can't crawl yet but it's coming soon. They can roll, scoot, and push their way to where they want to go, and have really started to enjoy toys and playing with them.

Izzy has been eating her solids really well and she loves to watch Mickey Mouse Club House. She is smiling and even talking a little. She is still a big daddy's girl and she loves to sit on his lap while he is working on the computer. (She even tries to help sometimes) She loves the dogs and loves her bath even more now that she can sit up in it and splash with her hands.

Pepper loves her exerciser that she bounces in she really could bounce for hours. She has been blowing raspberries a lot lately and she talks all day. (Even while she eats) She is still afraid of strange people but for the most part is okay as long as mommy is holding her. She loves to play with anything that is not a baby toy (phones, remotes, keys, etc) and has even giggled or laughed a few times. So cute!

This picture was taken while mom was singing the ABC's and clapping.

I must have looked really funny.

Oh, I love you girls!

Nighty night, sleep tight

I love the pictures of babies who have fallen asleep in the middle of doing something, or in weird places. They always make me laugh. I know that as these girls get bigger I am only going to be finding it more and more and I am sure will have many of these group blogs of them sleeping. I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Izzy. Fell asleep mid-bite.

Pepper. Fell asleep in her bouncer. I guess she just wore herself out.

Izzy. Fell asleep during lunch again.

Pepper. Sometimes church can be really boring.

Pepper. The holidays can wear you out too.

Pepper. Is it bedtime yet?

Oh, Izzy!

Izzy you make me laugh!

The other day we were sitting on the bed and playing with Izzy (Pepper had not woken up from her nap yet) and Izzy was just being the cutest little thing. I put my jacket on her and things just keep getting cuter and cuter. She was making faces and laughing too. Sometimes I just wish I could squeeze them silly, they can be so cute.

We are so lucky to have these babies in our lives. I don't know what I would do without them.

Test

Sometimes it is scary how much they look alike.

This is a test,

Who is who?
