Madison Lost Her...

Yes it's finally out! She has been working hard on this tooth for about a month now.  She is so happy, and has already put it under her pillow eagerly awaiting her loot. 

The Logic of Kids

Madison is at an age where we love to ask her questions.  Her reasoning and explanation of things are so original and cute I have to record some of them here so I don't forget. 

• Last week it was foggy outside and she told us "the sky must have been too heavy so it dropped the clouds on us".
• I made stew the other night and she asked me what was inside of it.  I told her meat, carrots, potatoes, celery, onions and gravy.  She said "oh I'm allergic to gravy, infact it's the only thing I am allergic to".
• She loves playdough, and told me one day that she knows how to make it. I asked her to tell me and she said "you make dough like for bread and then add food coloring like Grammie puts in her pancakes and then put it in the fridge to get cold and hard."

I know I am drawing a blank to many more, but I will continue to record them so I don't forget.  I just love the innocence of children.  My kids teach me so much!!!  Today I enjoy being a mom (this does change from day to day).

Just Some Random Pictures

I know there is a lot of pictures of Luke, but I can't help it. He is at such a cute stage right now!!

Look who is rolling over now?

January Resolutions

Instead of doing yearly resoultions I thought my goals will be more effectively acheived by doing them month by month. Every month I will post new goals for that month and then report my results at the end of the month. It will keep me motivated to come up with ways to improve myself and hopefully I will better meet them.

January Goals

• Run on the treadmill atleast 3 times a week
• Compliment somebody everyday
• Drink more water, hopefully discouraging me from drinking Dr. Pepper so much
• Go on a date night twice this month
• Finish reading the book on being a better parent and implementing the suggestions

I could easily come up with more, but I feel if I list too many I will get overwhelmed making it hard to accomplish them. I will list new ones every month and may possibly do some of these every month until it becomes habit in my life. I want to be a better person this year and am willing to make changes as needed.
