Our Little Ninja!!

On Jace's 4th Birthday I took the afternoon off to take Jace to see the movie How to Train Your Dragon. Before the movie started there was a preview of the new Karate Kid movie and Jace jumped up and started doing all of his fighting moves. I asked him if he would like to take some Karate lessons and he immediately said yes. I finally started calling around and asked a friend whose daughter used to do Karate to get some information. On Monday I heard back from Master Berry who let me know that they had a Tiny Tigers Tae Kwon Do class at 4:30 and we should bring Jace to let him try out a class. Just as we anticipated Jace loved it!! He had his second class last night and got to wear his uniform and everything. At the end of the class Master Berry gave him his white belt and his head band. Jace was so excited. Here are a couple pictures. I will try and take more to share from his next class.

Houma Sweet Houma

Luis' step sister, Hannah just graduated from High School so Luis, the boys, Trini and I loaded up to go to Houma to help her celebrate. I was dreading taking Trae on a 6 hour (without stopping) car trip. He has always hated the car seat unlike Jace who typically fell asleep within minutes of being on the road. Well turns out I had nothing to worry about, Trae (and Jace) were excellent. We just made one stop each way so I could feed Trae and we could grab a bite to eat ourselves and stretch our legs. I think it ended up taking us 7 hours or so each way and Trae only cried about 10 minutes each way.


I stayed at the hotel with the boys while Luis and Trini attended the graduation so of course I don't have any pictures from it, but I did get a cute picture of Jace and Trae with their Abuelito!!

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I Got Rice Cereal in My Tummy!!

Trae eating baby food (rice cereal) for the first time. From what I remember he is much better at it than Jace was. So funny!!!

It Really is Insane!!!

Luis and I decided that we need to get healthy and lose some weight so we decided to start a workout program called Insanity (a girl I work with is doing it and another one is doing P90X which is by the same company).

The name Insanity pretty much sums it up. It is a perfect representation of what you should expect to feel like while trying to do what the instructor on the DVD is telling you to do with your body. Not only are a lot of the positions crazy (which you don't realize until you attempt it) but the quantity, length of time, the speed you are supposed to do them just isn't possible - at least for us anyway!!

You know it is bad when the perfect little beach body people on the DVD are dropping like flies too - YIKES!!

I am hoping by the end of the 2 months of this 6 days a week workout we will at least be able to do one of each of the exercises in correct form, and dropping a couple dress sizes would be nice too!!

Jace vs. Trae

So I just happened to stumble upon Jace's baby book and discovered that Jace was 1/2 inch taller and about a pound lighter than Trae at their 4 month check ups. I was totally blown away. I have been thinking that Trae is so much bigger than Jace was - although I guess technically he is :0)!!
