Almost there!
I weighed myself at the gym today. And I'm down 2 more lbs!!!!! woo hoo! Now I only have 5 more to go until my goal weight! During my pregnancy I gained 24 lbs and I wanted to obviously lose all of that as well as 7 more. But the more I think of it, the more I'd actually rather tone up than lose weight.
crap.
haha
crap.

Molly's 5th Birthday Party
Poor Riley, she tripped and hit her face on the buggy wheel at Target. Knocked out her front tooth.
Caden wanted to join the fun, too!
breakfast with santa
The baseball team earns some money each year by doing the Breakfast with Santa. It's cute. The baseball players dress up like elves and serve us pancakes & sausage. They basically wait on us hand & foot. So it's pretty nice, considering that I have most of them in class. hehe. There are raffles with prizes, crafts, and Santa is there! Can't beat it.
what the heck is my kid looking at? of course not where he is supposed to.
