Picture Project

I figured this would be a fun way to watch the kids grow up.

It's eatin' time!!

Rya is a few days away from 5 months old. She's growing like a weed! It's a great thing it's summer because she is growing out of clothes left and right and therefore spends lots of time in just diapers. Last week Rya decided sleeping "through" (8 hr stretch) was for chumps. And she also decided that instead of nursing every 3 hours she wanted to nurse every 2. 2.5 if I was lucky. I figured it was another growth spurt, but it hasn't ended yet! So I decided maybe it was time to try solids and see if that helped. Yesterday she tried avocado and was all smiles while doing so. It's going to take at least a few days if not longer to make a difference in her sleeping and probably in her eating as well. But! I caught the bug. The make-your-own baby food bug :). Rya's belly and taste buds seemed pretty happy yesterday. So last night I made some bananas and this afternoon I made up some spinach and carrots. (I know this post would be SO much more interesting with pictures. Sorry! Hindsight is 20-20.) Hopefully the solids are the cure but only time will tell!

Proud...

I'm proud to be an American. I know there's problems here in our beautiful country, but I'm still proud to be a part of this country. I'm praying for our leaders, that they would make wise decisions. There are things I would love to see changed, but I'm very grateful that I live in a country where things can change. Others do not have that blessing.

I hope you all enjoy your day. Take time to pray for our country and leaders and to be thankful you can do so without fear.

2 years old!

My little man Titus Walker is 2 years old today. Man! Time has flown by! He's grown up so much. Never did I imagine he would be this much trouble, umm I mean fun when I held him for the first time.

Biggest Loser

I will be the biggest loser- hopefully! My husband, his mom, gramma, and I are all competing in the Biggest Loser. We all have some weight to lose but mostly want to get in better habits. We want a healthier lifestyle. We want self-discipline when it comes to food. We started last week. And last I checked I lost two pounds! :) I'm not really sure how I did that because I don't feel like I changed that much last week. This week I'm focusing on snacking. I want to cut back on my snacking a little bit. I can't cut back too much because I'm nursing Rya so I will make better choices as to what I snack on. I'm also going to get more exercise this week. It's a busy week but if I don't try now I never will. :) We are committed to this for 60 days. Stay tuned and I will let you know who wins!!
