Blake is 2 1/2 today!

My Blake is 2 and a half today! I really just can't believe that I have a 2 and a half year old! This past couple of years have been the fastest years of my life! I feel like my baby was just born, and now he is turning into such a big boy!!

A few stats:

Blake still has the most beautiful blue eyes ever!

He has lots and lots of blonde hair that we have to get cut often.

He is growing like a weed.

He is not potty trained, and doesnt show much interest yet.

He wears a size 4 diaper.

He is in 2T clothing. Some 24 mo. as well.

Tall and skinny.

He wears a size 7 shoe.

He is obsessed with wearing hats and sunglasses. everywhere.

He love "presents"...and thinks that anything that anyone buys is a "present, for me?!"

He is a really good sleeper, and is great about going to bed.

He loves "school" and all of his "friends"

We are still obsessed with Toy Story and Mickey Mouse.

His favorite foods are cereal, hamburgers, french fries, watermelon, and popsicles.

He loves his sissy and is so good to her.

He is a very good sharer and does well with other kids!

LOVES the playground...and just being outside.

He likes to read and color.

He can count to 12 with no help or prodding.

He sings a lot and likes to dance as well.

He talks and talks...has quite the imagination.

He is a big time "nana's" boy. He says, "I want my nana!"

He is SO sweet and tells us he loves (woves) us all of the time!

At night when we tuck him in he tells US "sweet dweams mama" "sweet dweams dada"....awww!! Just melts my heart!

He really is just the sweetest thing to be around.

I am so proud of him and feel SO lucky that he is mine!!

I can't get enough of this little girl!! I just love her SO mcuh!

Boat Ride!

We went on our first boat ride of the summer last weekend....and Olivia's 1st boat ride ever! It was a beautiful evening. Blake was so excited. His excitement lasted about half way around the lake, and then that turned to frustration because he wanted to drive! That would have been fine if he could just sit on Ryan's lap and steer...but he wanted to drive all by himself. He pitched a fit when he couldn't do it alone...what a stinker! Oh well....it was still a fun ride :)

At first he was so excited...just kept saying "I see a boat"..."I see a house"..."I see a bird"....and on and on!

The captain :)

Checking everything out...

Beautiful evening!

Livi enjoyed it!

What a doll :)

I hope that we can enjoy MANY more boat rides this summer!!

Vrrrrrrrroom!!

We finally got Blake 4 wheeler back out! He got it for his birthday back in December, but didn't get much use out of it because there was snow on the ground! On Saturday we took it out to my parents house because they have a big driveway that is perfect for riding! We left it there for him to use there (we go there so often anyway) and on the way home he said....."oh no, my carrrrrrr".....he was so sad to not have it! ha, but he will be excited to ride when we visit next!!

Now he thinks that he needs a helmet though! I mean, seriously the thing only goes 2 MPH (if that)....not really necessary! BUT, he thinks that helmets are "cool" so we might as well keep him thinking that for the future, huh?!

He is at such a fun age! I just love that he has a personality and can communicate with us so well! I love each age...but it really does just get more and more fun with each and every stage!

Hungry girl!

Little Olivia Kay has been eating real food! We started about 3 weeks ago, and she is really getting the hang of it! She has had rice cereal...and then we started on green veggies, so peas and green beans....and we have just added sweet potatoes to the mix as well! Once we get all of the veggies down we will add fruit to the mix as well! She is growing like a weed and really filling out!

She wants to feed herself!

Yummy :)

Such a big girl!!

Weekly Weight Loss Update

Wellll..this week I lost 0.4....just under 1/2 of a pound! I will admit that it is a little discouraging...but I'll take it, because at least I am headed in the right direction!

As of today I am down a total of 15 pounds since Jan. 19th. I have lost a total of 9.16% of my total body weight!

I am looking forward to hitting that 10% goal soon. I have 1.8 pounds until I am "free lifetime" again at Weight Watchers. 3.8 pounds to go until I reach my goal!!

...until next week...

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Time for another What I'm Loving Wednesday hosted by Jamie!

1. I LOVE Sam's Club. Strange I know....but I could just spend hours in this store! ha....problem is that I end up with way too much stuff from buying in bulk :)....
2. I LOVE that it is Wednesday already. I could totally get used to having Monday's off. It has made for an awesome week!

3. I LOVE that we are going to a Loon's (our Minor League team) game this Friday night with a lot of friends! I am looking forward to it!

We have the Northern Lights Pavillion area reserved for my work event...so I get a bonus of "working" a fun event :)

4. I LOVE my cute cute kids.

Blake is getting so old. He just seems so mature to me lately!

and Olivia is filling out like crazy. Its great to see her gaining so much weight after being such a peanut for so long!

These babies make my world complete :)

they look SO much alike!
