Love this Boy

I love this little boy. Tonight he didn't want to go to sleep and he was talking and just being silly. I went in there and he told me he was hungry...of course. So I bring in a piece of bread and his milk and he was SO hyper. I was giving him a piece of bread and he bit my finger and laughed about it for about 20 seconds straight...It was SO hard to keep a straight face. He kept trying to jump and turn around. Sometimes I get a little silly when I'm too tired, maybe he got that from me. :) He is seriously my little ball full of energy and laughs. I sure love my little boy!

The extemely Controversial Vaccine Debate

So my good friend Megan has this great website where she is the "San Diego Stay at Home Examiner." She writes about anything a Stay home mom would be interested in.

I love reading it because sometimes she writes about controversial topics and I like reading all the nasty comments people say to each other...hehe

The latest posts have been about the debate on whether to get your children vaccinated. You should check it out if you want to see what people are saying here.

I really don't know a TON about it. I know that some say there might be a link to autism, but i think there is also a link to not contracting deadly illnesses too.

In my humble opinion I'd rather take the 99% chance of Teagan not contracting all the different harmful sicknesses that vaccines prevent and take the 1% chance of getting autism. That statement is sure to make the hair on some peoples back stick up!

I do wonder about the different schedules, I know some of you do that and i was wondering what the reasons are.

Music Road

We went up to my mom's for a fantastic Easter weekend. On Saturday we went out to Lancaster to check out the amazing Civic Music Road. We had seen the Honda commercial a few times so we were excited to try the road out in person. We did a U turn and tried it about 4 times in a row at different speeds. It is was pretty cool!

The best Diet EVER!

So I've decided to start a new diet. I lost about 10 pounds training for a 5K and I've gained half of it back so I came up with a new plan.

The Plan: I am only allowed to eat sweets (in any form) if I do an intense workout for at least 30 minutes that day. Intense workouts include running, tae bo, swimming, 1 hr walk, kickball with neighbors (they make me play all outfield positions, it IS a workout!).

Today was my first day. I did 45 minutes of Taebo and ate 4 cupcakes...I'm off to a great start. I probably burned 350 calories and ate 1500...fantastic.

I am optimistic about the future. I'm going to try to limit it to one sweet, but I really like sweets so I don't know if I can have the self control.

The Foods We Love

Hey all,

I started a new blog to keep up on my new hobby of food. I love cooking and I always want to write about what and how I cook, but I didn't want to clutter my family blog with all that junk so I made a new one. Check it out....

The Foods We Love

I think I feel a tradition coming on...

Today was so busy and so fun. We started off with me tutoring while Zac and Teagan went to play at the mall. They came and got me and we went back to spend my birthday money. I didn't get anything there (I ended up getting new pyrex baking dishes...SO excited!) but we had a lot of fun window shopping.

We returned home for TEag's nap which only lasted 30 min...dirty diaper (3rd one today...are you kidding me???) so we took off again. We went to once upon a child and got some clothes for TEagan. I was really excited to find very new looking-brand name stuff for SOOOO cheap.

Then we went to the beach again later that afternoon. I was excited that is was cool and breezy so that I could try TEagan's new outfit out on him (all for $6). We just walked on the board walk (I don't know if that's actually what it's called) in Carlsbad and watched the squirrels. It was so nice. I think we'll probably start going every Saturday. Here are the pictures to prove it. :)
He liked to pick flowers and rip off the petals...

This isn't the most flattering but I had to note the difference in skin color between Zac and I. He is about 10 shades darker than me. I don't understand becasue he literally spends ALL day inside, while I spend at least an hour or two outside almost everyday with Teagan. Yet, I'm still albino...I wonder if I'm a vampire...probably.

I go to the bathroom for one minute and.....

Teagan:
Oh no, She caught me with the cookies

The suspense is killing me, is she going to let me keep eating these cookies?!?!

She let me keep eating...YESSSSS....

I love cookies
