quick update

I haven't blogged in a while so I figured its time! Life has been pretty good lately (for the most part) I have had some emotional ups and downs in the past few weeks.  I honestly think it has to do with my hormone levels because I decided to get off the pill.  (no we are NOT trying to get pregnant, I got off it for personal reasons regarding side effects.)  I have been really trying to focus on positiveness lately and though it has been hard at times, its working.  I took up jogging and biking again.  I go early in the morning when its still cool(er) out.  That is if Aubrey wakes up close to 5 so I can feed her and get her back to bed and take off before Tyler wakes up for the day.  It is really therapeutic for me and I am hoping this is a long term hobby.  I asked for an ipod for my birthday (even tho I have a ways to go until then) but I think a morning jog with some great music followed by a nice cup of coffee before I start my day sounds like a perfect plan to happiness!  Although it depends on little miss thang because sometimes she decides to wake up at 3:30am and that is just WAY to early to start my day so those are my sleep in days.  Anyways the point is my goal is to be healthy, maybe lose a little weight and I am hoping to be able to run the bix next year!

My kids are doing great lately, Tyler has been using the big boy potty for about 3 weeks now and he is doing so great.  I only put a diaper on him for nap and bed time but I actually think I can phase nap time out soon, I need to buy a mattress protector just in case and then I will...He gets to go to the pet store soon and pick out a fish for his room (his big reward) I think he will really enjoy it!  Aubrey has been on a different formula and she seems to be doing ok, but a little more fussy than usual.  I am starting to feed her cereal on a spoon and may even try some baby food in a couple weeks and if that doesn't help with her fussiness I think I will switch her back to her potato juice. I am hoping that she is just needing more food or cutting teeth or something why she is fussy because its a lot nicer getting twice as much for the same amount of money but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.


Well that is all I can think of at the moment but I will leave you with a couple recent pictures:
