Wow I have a TON of "O"s... i wish I could say Ive had a more exciting life but I'll do more in 30 years when the kids are all out of the house!

My March...

While my Father-in-Law was in town I had him help me refinish my salon furniture. It looks sooo nice! I feel totally professional now... except the whole washing hair in the sink thing!I love dressing the girls in cute outfits! Most of the clothes that Jalie is starting to fit into is for warmer weather so I put her in a skirt and found this sweet sweater to make it work for our crazy cold weather we've been having!Oh yeah and fuzzy pink socks make the outfit!
Shocking.... Kenz never smiles for the camera!
She LOVES her "baby sister"...never calls her Jalie


Getting sooo big! I love the little chunk she's getting on her thighs and cheeks!

I think she wants me to leave her alone... the finger again... at least it's the right one this time!

CUDDLE
My Sweet Grandma Hale turned 90 in Feburary. We had a big family party to celebrate! Isn't she beautiful?!
My mom and I are laughing at Kerianne who's trying to get Kenzie to smile... we all look like dorks!
So that sums up the last of our March. I hope we have a fun April.... maybe the sun will come out!!

Spinning


Wow... I tried spinning this morning for the first time. I sweated soooo much and yet I got through a whole hour without feeling like I was going to die! So I think I'll keep going and hopefully my butt will get used to the small seat and I'll eventually be able to get up past medium resitance!

Biggest Loser??


It's been 10 weeks since I had Jalie. I have only lost 15 lbs (she was 7.1). I need to loose 35 lbs to get where I want. I started dieting and working out yesterday. So here I am... 160 and hating it. Hopefully I'll have my "after" pic up within 6 months!!

Children's Museum

One of the only things we did this week while my inlaws have been in town is go to the Seattle Children's Museum. I have been collecting curious george things since I was about 11 years old and Kenzie now loves george too; so when we heard they were doing a "Let's get curious" exhibit I decided we should check it out. We had soo much fun! There is just so much to do and Kenzie is just about the perfect age for it. She was hesitant at first but then she was running around looking at everything! Sooo cute! I took like 100 pictures.... literally! Here are a few of my favorites!



Kenzie totally fits a golidlocks!

Busy Day!!

So today has been very busy so far! We took Jalie to her 2 month appt and she got 3 shots. Then we went to the mall and got her ears pierced. After that we let Kenz play in the kid area while I fed Jalie. We hit McDonald's for lunch on our way to Best Buy where we got a NEW camera!!! We just got home and I've taken a few pics with the new camera! It's soooo much nicer than my old one.... I've had that thing for like 4 years! This is it... Canon A1000is. It's 10 mega pixels and has 4x optical zoom.




And this is my old camera... it was only 4.0 mega pixels and no optical zoom... it was horrible!! Too old!My first picture on the way home from the store! Can you tell I was excited??


The hill we live on. I was testing out the awesome zoom!


Some of you might think I'm the meanest mom in the world because I got my child's ears pierced the day that she got her immunizations but she was already doped up on Tylenol and we think it's better to just get it all over with as quick as possible. She only cried for like 30 seconds and has been a happy baby the rest of the afternoon. Just alittle more tired than normal.


So Jalie's weight is in the 22nd percentile and her height is in the 54th and her head is only at 29th! So she is skinnier by far than kenzie was at this age but at least she is growing! The doctor predicts that she will be about 5'8''. Taller than her mommy!!
