Running....

So I have been slacking a lot about my running.....I don't have my DS here to kick me in the ass and push me pass my comfort level.....So I am going to start running again. I have a 5K family fun run that I am running in next week with 260th QM BN, and then I am going to push myself and do the 6 mile watermelon crawl at Lake Myers on 4th of July. Trace Adkins is playing at the 4th of July events at Stewart, so I have told myself the only way I can go see this wonderful artist is if I start running again. We have some great events that are going on in the next few months with short 5k's and I need to be in most of them so I can get able to keep up with Connor when he run's his 1st 5K sometime in the spring. So while I have some company in town and my little one sleeps in I am going to get up early and go for a short run and be ready for the races next week...and If I am lucky my box from Vinnie will be here and I can wear my cool shirt he got for me! :)

Swimming Day 3

Today was our 3rd day of swim class. Gia really enjoys being in the water they moved her from the Mommy and me class into the Preschool kids....she is the youngest in the class but is doing a great job...and Mr. Rob is soo understanding and works great with not only Gia but all the kids in the class.

Swimming like Superman does underwater.

Yeah that's Gia with her face in the water...and tonight at bathtime she is starting to get brave and lay on her back with her arms out and wants to now put her face in the water more :)

After class playing in the pool showing Papa how she blows bubbles in the water.

What's up homie?

Gia's play"date" with Sammy and Sundaes

So I got a call this morning from Amy, Sammy's mom, Sammy asked her to ask me if Gia could meet him at the pool here on Hunter....we have never gone to the pool here on Hunter for personal reason so I thought I would go because it was going to be super hot today




after the pool we came home and Gia took a nap and we watched movies and she helped to make dinner...after dinner we had dessert...and I have to say....I have totally been spoiling her while the boys are gone....

Here is Gia's Chocolate's sundae Mommy's sundae....I didn't want the ice cream on top of my ice cream.Having a blast!Cheeese!?!?!?!

Build-a-Bear

Today Gia and I got up and headed to the mall for a little mommy and me shopping. We found some very cute dresses for Gia as she has wanted to wear nothing but dresses these last few weeks. While we where at the mall we stopped in at build-a-bear and we decided to make Papa a bear to send to him. Gia picked out a super soft cute little bear. After she recorded her voice message for Papa She went over to picked out a heart and put it in her bear.

She then got to stuff the bear.....

After giving it some good insides she had to "have it rain on my bear"and brush its hair. She was so excited that she made Papa his bear. I told her that we would put it into Papa's box tomorrow so he could get it. After we got done at the mall we headed over to Vinnie's work for a meeting and then home to hang out....after the sun when down we walked over to Sammy's house and played with Sammy for a bit.

Trying new foods

Gia has been on this pizza eating kick! She wants it for every meal....so I thought what better way then to get her to try some different foods while she was eating pizza....So I sliced up a few orange bell peppers and made her eat one slice for ever piece of Pizza she ate....


so I was able to get her to eat a total of 3 slices of bell peppers. So after we played outside for a little bit because it is just soooooo HOT to play out during the day we headed inside and enjoyed some yummy pudding, but because pudding can get a little mess we have to be nakie...with our panties and shoes on to eat it!
