The Father of Daughters

So, not only does the dog dress-up, but the DAD does too!


Thanks for being such a GREAT DAD!

What a Big Girl

Look who is sitting up like a big girl! Katie is now sitting up AND pushing up on her hands and knees! Oh- I hope she does not start crawling soon!

Quiet is NOT GOOD

I was enjoying some 'quiet' time when I realized it was a little too quiet.
I knew something had to be going on! I walked into my bedroom and what did Tori get a hold of? Alli's suitcase of make-up! (Yes, Alli has a suitcase of make-up she received from her Aunt Li-Li for Christmas. And yes, this was her FAVORITE GIFT!)
It looks like Tori is following in her big sister's footsteps.

Even The Dog Plays Dress-up!

Maddie is such a lucky dog. She is never left out.

Happy Running

Happy Running? Is that an oxymoron? NO WAY!

I just have to share my workout with you girls because I LOVE IT so much! Some of you may already know about this because it has actually been around for a long time. Have you heard of Body for LIFE? I started doing the Body for LIFE cardio plan shortly after Katie was born. Six months later I am still enjoying it! The plan consists of working out in intervals at different intensity levels. For those of you who run outdoors it may be a little more difficult to follow. It is easy to do on treadmills, especially if you have the "quick-keys" for speed and elevation. I love this workout for a few reasons. Number one is because it really helps pass the time on the treadmill. Another reason I love it is because I change it up a bit- I do not do the same thing every time I run. I change it by adding a couple of more intervals or by alternating between speed and elevation for my levels. How I change it just depends on how early I can get myself out of bed to get on the treadmill! Not easy to do! If you decide to try this out, keep a post-it note on the treadmill with your levels and speed. This helps me know where I am at when I get lost in the music! Click on the link to get the actual cardio-plan. Let me know what you think. I also do the Body for LIFE weight training plan. I like that a bunch too.

My Girls

My Sweet Tori! Just barely over 2 years old, and she is ALL you would expect from a 2 year old. Throwing a huge fit one minute and happy the next. She LOVES her sisters. She says and does everything Alli does. If Alli does not like it, Tori says, "my not like it!" If something is Alli's favorite, Tori says, "my favorite". She has recently decided that she wants to wear Alli's clothes ALL the time. As you could imagine, this makes mornings lots of fun for me.

Alli is 41/2 years old and going on 15! She thinks she is so grown up. She just loves make-up and nail polish. I just don't get it! I go days without putting on anything but a little lip gloss and the girl LOVES make-up! Where does she get it from? She is a great big sister to both Tori and Katie.......a little over-bearing at times, but she truly loves them.

My Baby Katie is, well, a baby! She is doing everything every other 6 month old is doing- eating, sleeping, laughing, smiling, grabbing, pulling hair, rolling all over the place and eating and sleeping some more! And she tolerates all the hugs and kisses she gets ALL DAY LONG from her big sisters!

Coming Around

Okay, so I have finally come to terms that I must establish a blog! I mean ALL my friends are doing it!
So it here is! Check us out when you would like to see what we are up to.
