 My neice got baptized a couple weeks ago :)

 Miss baldy! I shaved her head, in hopes new and improved hair will grow back! She didn't have much hair anyway, I just cut off all the un even hair about an inch in some places. She looks the same with a bow on, people probably wouldn't even notice unless I said something (5 1/2 months)

 Before the shave -5 months

I just love my sweet baby girl! She started rice cereal last week and she is finally yumming it up, (now that she knows how to swallow it). I'm still nursing, but am supplementing as well. I feel I'm not making enough milk for her anymore. I started taking the herb Fenugreek, it's suppose to increase your milk supply, so we'll see. She still can be a stinker in the night waking up 2 ish times for the binky, but atleast I've trained her to go 8 hrs. without eating, but she still needs to be soothed. I'm hoping she'll get the hang of it soon, I'm tired!

Getting back into Running

Finally a blog post! This 5k race was back in March (Shamrock Shuffle, 3 months post baby!) I was still able to run it in a little over 30 min. It was hard getting back into running, but ever since I was able to run 3 miles, I felt like it has become easier.

 Me, with my sisters, Angela and Jessica and my neice, Jayden. They came to run the race :)

 Me with my sister-in-law, Joann

My sister Trisha came with my parents to see us at the finish.

This race, Color for Tessa, was in April, for a lady that has cancer. This was the first time I had done a color race, it was fun! :)  The running conditions weren't the best. We had to run through farm land and it was so muddy! The mud would build up on our shoes. It felt like you were carrying another 30 lbs! I ran it in 35 min. but then I felt better that it was actually 3.7 miles instead of 3.1, so I was still able to keep up a 10 min. mile

 

 My cute boys ran the mile with my husband. This was the first time Tyson, my 4 yr. old, has run a mile race. I was so proud of both of them! Brayden ran it in 10min.+ and Tyson 11min.+. Amazing little guys! Practicing around our mile block has paid off.

Way to go boys!

I really enjoy running and I'm glad my boys do to! It's such a fun and accomplishing hobby. I am doing a 15k (9.3 miles) in July, and my first half marathon in August! I can do about 6 miles now, so I really have to kick it into geer and get my miles up. Finding the time, I think is the hardest part. Wish me luck!

Kyla's Blessing Day

Love her!Big yawn

I can't get enough of this sweet little girl! She is so precious, but has been a hard baby, having colic, and was very gassy and had breast feeding constipation. Kyla is 3 months now and doing alot better. She is happier and doesn't cry near as much as she used to. I had to change my diet to no dairy for a couple weeks and still am taking it easy on the dairy. She still only has a bowel once or twice a week, which the Dr. said could be normal for her, but he figured she had constipation because she was straining to go. I give her a pro-biotic and Karo syrup to help with her tummy problems.

She has what is called a Hemangioma above her right eye. It's an abnormal build up of blood vessels that will go away between 4-7 yrs. of age. It forms within the first 2 weeks of life. It gets bigger before it gets better, then it will slowly go away reducing its appearance as time goes on. Weird huh? If it starts to cover her eye lid, they can treat it with laser surgery, but hopefully we don't have to do that and hopefully it won't get any bigger! Every baby is so different and they all have their own different problems. Kyla has been hard to figure out, that's for sure!
