Another Birthday Party in January

We went to another birthday party for a friend of mine. He son was turning 1. Brooklind had a blast running around with all the kids and of course eating, but she enjoyed her cake pop more than anything.

She just absolutely loved playing with the big kids. She wouldn't play with the younger ones, she liked chasing after the older kids. It was funny to watch. She just ran and laughed the whole time.

Diet and losing weight

So I told myself a few weeks ago that I need to lose weight! I just feel gross and miss wearing all my cute clothes. So I am on week 2 of my diet. I have lost almost 4lbs in one week. So I am proud. I am just watching and counting calories. I am working out too. It was really hard to get motivated to start but it had to be done.
I am using an app and website called Sparkpeople.com and I am working out with the 28 day bootcamp from Sparkpeople too. Its a DVD.





Already after about a week and a half I do feel a little better. Just more energy and better that I am not eating as much. I miss all my carbs! This wasn't even a new years resolution. It was just something I wanted for myself so I could feel better about myself

January so far....

Brooklind is just growing way too fast! We are having her 2nd birthday next month (Feb). It just seems like just yesterday I gave birth to her. She just loves wearing her cute clothes (skirts and dresses) to church! She loves dressing up!!
Last weekend we went to a friend's daughters 3rd birthday party.

Brooklind go her hand painted by the face painter that came. She wouldn't let her paint anything on her face. She loved showing it off.When it was Brooklind's turn to hit the pinata she wasn't quite sure what to do. She got the concept and hit it once. But she was laughing and just wanted to touch the pinata. She thought it was funny. She didn't care to hit it with the bat.She had fun running around and seeing all the other kids there.
