My mom had an Easter for Micah & my nephew the weekend after Easter. Micah seemed to thourouly enjoy picking up eggs & putting them in his basket. He’d get upset if someone was trying to carry his basket for him, even though it was almost as tall as him. He lifted it and carried it around looking for more eggs, you can see him trying his hardest here. He loves doing things himself. After picking up all the eggs we had tons of fun going through them & having him dump his basket out, put the eggs back and repeating about a hundred times.

Today I upped my work from 2 miles a day to 3 miles a day. I did 2 miles a day for two weeks & after two weeks I’ll up it another mile again. I am SORE! Seriously sore from my legs, abs and feet. Oh and I am resisting snacks, trying so hard to quit my bad snacking habits. During the day I’ll have a fruit or yogurt for a snack & a Jell-o at night. But that’s it I need to stop. Especially when I’m working, I tend to stress eat. I should try chewing gum…I hear that works for some people. Yes I will chew gum.

Okey I am beyond tired, beyond exhausted, yes whatever comes after exhausted…I’m that.

Alright I need some fresh beats for my running playlist…actually I just think I’ll start a new playlist. Give me some great songs for when I’m on the treadmill or elliptical. Get me pumped to work out! I’m open to all kinds of music! GO GO GO! Heck just screencap your running playlist and email it to me if you want!  Just GO GO GO! What’s your favorite band/artist to work out to?

I’m completely in love with Seventh Generation cleaning products! Seriously, in LOVE. We’re getting married & going to have a super clean eco friendly house together. Don’t tell JP though.

I love the gym. I forgot how amazing working out makes me feel! I started going back to the gym last Monday & it just makes me feel so good about myself. I have so much more confidence, I haven’t lost weight of course but I just feel better! I don’t feel like such a lard ass.

Speaking of lard ass…today we went to Mooyah for dinner. Well I had a delicious burger & fries for dinner. Then about a hour later I hit the gym, I started to sweat…and I smelled like a hamburger! HAHAHA! OMG I wanted to lick myself, how disgustingly wonderful is that?

When I was coming home from the gym I had my windows down, wind blowing through my hair and Aerosmith’s song Cryin’ blaring through my speakers. I was hyped, singing at the top of my lungs and doing air drums. Red light. I felt someone’s eyes on me, a car had pulled up next to me with two men…they couldn’t stop laughing, which just egged me on to act more ridiculous. I hope they enjoyed my silliness, I don’t mind acting silly if it puts a smile on someone’s face. I want the whole world to smile.

My little sister, cousins & little brother. They’re all so much fun! And you’d never guess who’s the youngest and who’s the oldest. Seriously, go ahead guess.

Micah enjoys playing outside. Micah runs out the front door any chance he gets. Micah doesn’t mind getting dirty. In fact Micah quite enjoys getting dirty. Micah’s knees have scrapes and scratches from the past weekend but I’m sure that won’t stop him from playing outside some more. Micah has discovered he can kick a ball, he will “kick” a ball by walking with it and keeping his arms balanced out. Since he’s started walking Micah has discovered that shoes aren’t that bad. In fact I bought him a new pair of shoes last night and he INSISTED on wearing them once I tried them on him at home. He then proceeded to run around in circles wearing only his diaper & shoes. Perhaps he was making sure they feel right? I guess they did because he wore them until he went to bed where I had to pry them off his tiny feet. It’s just so amazing how big he’s getting. He’s already breaking hearts…mine.

This evening we went to visit my brother, we ended up at this huge park near their house. It was awesome, we only got to explore a small area of it but hopefully next time we’ll get to see more of it! We just goofed off & took loads of pictures. I mean…LOADS. I just grabbed a handful for flickr & here since you would be sickened at how many there are. Lots and lots of jumping…mostly myself & Tony (brother). Micah spent almost the whole day playing outside, first with his cousins & then with just the adults in the evening. Such beautiful weather we are having that I’m trying to convince everyone we need to go to the beach for Easter! We’ll just have to see…. more pictures on flickr!
