Five {and a few extras} for Friday

One. Had a fun trip to Meridian/Nampa on Wednesday with Amber & Miss Ella and Beckham. Gray stayed with Aunt Taylor.
Two. Had some quick pics taken by Amber (one shown on previous post). Lance, Kels & Jaeger were there too and so Lance took some candids with my camera while Amber was shooting. Obviously Grayson wasn't having it.Three. Told Gray he could get an ice cream cone if he cooperated with pictures. It was freezing outside already and as seen in the pictures, he did not cooperate. Frankly, he was awful. Did he get the ice cream cone anyway? Yes. I have a hard time sticking to my guns when I couldn't blame him for acting the way he did because it was SO COLD! (:Four. Had an incredibly long and stimulating conversation with Zac that night after the boys were asleep. It's been a while since we've been able to really sit down and talk and adult conversation without interruptions was so delightful. I sure am grateful for that sweet guy.Five. Have been wanting to buy or build on a home office for Zac & finally just rearranged our bedroom and made it work for now. It's not ideal, but it works and we're grateful to have a place for the mornings he works from home. Worked on that all day Thursday along with other cleaning/organizing and had much help from Grayson who played INDEPENDENTLY for many hours throughout the day-awesome!

And because I can...

Six. Ran to Walmart with my mom and the two boys today and was thinking to myself that I'll probably never go anywhere by myself with the two of them until Grayson's like 12... (: Thanks mom!
Seven. Totally excited for the new season of Glee to start next week. I love the music and am so glad I will actually be home on Wednesday nights now to watch!
Eight. Weighed myself this morning and am seriously trying to find motivation to lose my baby weight + some more. Please feel free to send motivation, very firm encouragement, or just Jillian Michael's type yelling my way!
Nine. Sad that Taylor is leaving again tomorrow-she is always willing to help me out when she's home and Gray loves her. Sad that Mom is going with her for four days... (:
Ten. Looking forward to date night at home with Zac tonight. More on that later...

You are so inspiring. I just love you. Why is it 10 little comments make my day. It's because you always remind me you're human, and yet remarkable in every way. I absolutely LOVE the pictures. Hopefully we talk soon. Love ya!

Tayah is 10-months-old and I still feel like every trip to the store is a circus! I'm glad your mom went with you...so nice to have extra hands. The picture of Zac and Beckham is really cute. I liked it. Also, the picture from your shoot with Amber...adorable! You look beautiful. Don't be too hard on yourself about the baby weight. You've got to give yourself some time. You're a very dedicated person. I have no doubt you'll be right where you want to be soon enough.

In a Jillian Micheals tone of voice: "Do you ever want to fit into your cute jeans again? If you even want to THINK about going swimsuit shopping, get on that ellpitical girl because summer is just around the corner!"

P.S. In my tone of voice: Karl! I think you look FABULOUS for just having another baby.

Poor Grayson being so cold, I think it is totally alreight to give him the ice-cream, i am sure he did the best he could. Nice to have your Mom with you to help you out. It is an adjustment but you will adapt soon. I think you are beautiful but I understand wanting to lose the baby weight. You can do it!!
