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)!!

Doctor Visits

Luis and I took Jace and Trae to the Doctor today for their 4 year and 4 month checkups. Jace is 43 pounds and 43 1/2 inches tall which puts him in the 95th percentile for both weight and height. Our little lineman Trae was 19 pounds 2 ounces and 27 inches long which puts him in the 97th percentile for both weight and height.

The Doctor told us both of them look great and are developing just like they should be.

They both did great until they had to get shots. Trae was fine right after because we were able to give him part of a bottle he didn't finish before the appointment. Jace was traumatized, even a couple hours later he would get weepy just thinking about it and has now decided he doesn't want to turn 5 anymore - and I don't think he even has to get shots at 5!!! That's okay, I won't mind if he stays my baby forever!!

Family Pictures

We finally got some with all 4 of us. I hope you like them.

Happy Birthday Jace!!!

Jace turned 4 years old today. How does that happen so fast!?!?!

Jace's Birthday Weekend!!

Luis and I decided to forgo a big expensive Birthday Party for Jace this year and take him to Sea World in San Antonio instead. We all had a wonderful time. Our hotel had 3 swimming pools, outdoor movie nights and s'mores to make in their fire pits. Here are some pictures.


Bath time for babies!!


About to make s'mores - yummy!!


Luis and Jace about to get really WET!!

Someday when he is tall enough he will be an adrenalin junky like his dad - YIKES!!!



About to watch a show (right before Trae spit up all over Luis, ha ha!!)
