What's Up? Wednesday

Since I am rarely wordless on Wednesdays...I've ditched the Wordless part today!

We are keeping busy...and trying hard to endure this cold weather here {the kids already have 3 make-up days at the end of the school year...boo!}but sooo looking forward to Spring!

I finally snapped a few pictures of this bouncing girl...

{no matter how short she gets her hair cut...she still manages to get it into pony tails!}

...during her gymnastics...



I love watching how cute the little girls are...and wonder if Emily will ever get to be as good as the older girls!  How in the world do they get their bodies to twist and turn and flip like that?!  But right now...she's enjoying bouncing around on the trampoline and flipping over the bar...

...and still perfecting her head-over-heels cartwheels...

{I know you can hardly see her back in the corner...but I had my camera zoomed all the way out...she was all the way in the back of the gym and it was hard to see her from the bleachers...}

Meanwhile...I love stealing a pic of this ever-so-patient, cute and smiling observor...


She has been great about hanging out wherever we go...for now...that is...until she's mobile!

She went along with me to the dentist {again...} to get a small filling...ugh!  I still have a headache from the noisy drill and whatever else they use to grind into my head!  I have not been the best example with my sweet tooth...I hope Alex, Emily and Elizabeth follow in thier daddy's footsteps...he's only had one cavity his whole life..showoff!  ha!  

Eating sweets also isn't helping my waistline...blah!  I've started using the Wii Fit to get into better shape...but after one day of the boxing and hoola-hooping...my arms and back were so sore!  I took a couple days off...but then went and ruined it the next time when I ate a bunch of cookies after dinner...curses! 

That's about all that's happening around here these days...I miss taking lots of pictures...but I try and get the camera out as much as I can!  Especially since the kids are growing up way too fast!  Elizabeth is just past 8 weeks already!  She's getting so big...and becoming more alert and interested in what's going on all around her.  She's not sleeping all through the night yet...she still wants to eat and be held all the time...and I'm having a hard time telling her otherwise!  She won't be a baby forever...
...I know I can sleep soon enough...yawn...

  1. Elizabeth is getting so big!! She is such a little cutie:) I love the pics of Emily at gymnastics and those pigtails are adorable! I have a major sweet tooth too, so don't feel too bad about it! I did boxing on the wii about a week ago and my arms hurt for three days:)

  2. Do what you can when you can with what you can! Take it from this Momma of 4.

    I think you are doing great! Everybody looks healthy and happy, what more do you want? LOL

    Take care of those two sweet girls.

    I miss gymnastics so much. Enjoy watching her grow and improve in the sport! :) Perri misses it terribly and that breaks my heart, too.

  5. I love my cookies too :) YOu are too funny. You look great. Love the gym pictures. Emily sure does look like a little gymnast. Both girls are doing tumbling and the one gym is trying to recruit Stunt Man to join because he went on a field trip there and the instructor said he was one of the strongest kindergartners he had ever seen. Baa Haa. The boy loves to flip. LOL
