Gymnastics

A couple months ago, I enrolled Lars in an awesome gymnastics class. They do so much more than just gymnastics. There's sign language, socializing, swinging, singing, and stories. He loves it so much. Whenever he's in the zip line, he does have any sort of reaction. 

He absolutely loves doing somersaults (at home and in the class, it's his favorite thing ever)! 

He also loves doing what they call something kicks. These mats are so colorful, it's the first thing he goes to when we get there.

He likes the trampoline. He may not look like it in the picture. He loves bouncing. He bounces on our bed all the time (it barely bounces).

This is the perfect class for him because they change up the routine every week and the work in about 15 minute segments. 

What activites are your little ones involved in?

Finally Getting Back to It

It was such a nice day the other afternoon, I set Lars up in the stroller & we went for a 3 mile walk. We ended up at the park (his favorite park). 

He found a stick a helped finish dig a hole. He also found an Easter egg (he's on a constant egg hunt). He loves putting the open egg to his ear and listening to the "ocean").

This was my view the those fun miles! Lars also loves to point out every, single trash can (even if they're not in the street). If you don't acknowledge him, he groans until you do. 

How's the weather in your neck

If the woods?

Family Time!

Jason's grandma was in town last week. So, we got together with family to hang out and catch up. Here are some of the second cousins.

I think grandma enjoyed her time with everyone. Lars enjoyed seeing his great grandma for the second time (we went to a family reunion in august with a lot more family). 

Does your family live close to you? How often do you see them?

Easter Fun (late post)!

Sorry for the late post. Easter was a very fun time here. My brother and his family came down from Washington & hung out for the weekend. Before they got here, we some activities to do before hand:

Like, see the Easter bunny.

Practice our Easter egg hunting (which he was great at).

Lars loved the rooster the best. He have him a high five, and kept playing with his eye ball.

Fire trucks were there to hang around and touch & climb on.

When my brother got in town, we caught up, played, ate some yummy pizza & then got down to business: dyeing Easter eggs for the Easter bunny to hid.

The next morning, everyone was up bright and early for baskets & egg hunting. All the cousins had a blast!

It was great seeing everyone. I made lasagna for dinner (prego brain forgot to take pictures). It was really good though, so that's what's important.

How was everyone's Easter?

Another Two Feet

The reason why I haven't posted in a while is because I haven't had any energy to do so (or anything else for the matter). 

I am now 13 weeks and have been not feeling very well & no energy. The last week, or so, I've been feeling better! I think that part of the pregnancy may be going away (knock in wood).

I plan to start running & working out again, as soon as Easter is over. Just like last time, my cravings are as much junk food as possible. I can't wait to have pizza tomorrow! I really need to go to Red Robin and have their end fries. I'm also really into smoothies lately (Lars loves them too!). For some reason, I think I'm having a girl. 

How many kids do you have? How do you fit in your workouts with kids?

Nimbus Fish Hatchery

I love it when I'm able to get out o the house with the whole family and make a complete morning of fun and entertainment. Usually we have a partial morning and others are filled with errands (and usually a stop off at the park). 

We finally were able to make it to the local fish hatchery. The fish were jumping like crazy and wanted to eat all the food we had. You can buy fish pellets there and feed them. 

I don't think Lars completely understood what was jumping out of the water. It was a great morning. We had a snack that we picked up and then went to lunch .

Lars was crashed out when he got home. He was really ready for his nap. He had a great time though!

Do you have anything like a fish hatchery near you? Anything fun, like this, that you like to do (even without kids)?

Too Many Squats?

I think I do a lot of squats when my son does them with me. Usually he doesn't hang on to anything. I think it's so cute. Lately I've been doing jumping jacks and all types of crunches with him too. I can't wait until he has the coordination to do these with me.

He also loves to take a running start and land head first into the pillows I have blocking the brick around out fire place. He's such a silly boy.

Soon, I will be doing mountain climbers and weights in front of him. Right now, it's a little difficult with how much he wants my attention.

Do you guys workout with your little ones awake? How do they handle it? Do they try to copy you?
