Belly Dancing!!

Ok, so I started taking a belly dancing class.. Crazy, I know, the tomboy belly dancing, lol. I actually am really enjoying it and think I may keep doing it indefinately. I'm even going to do the recital (AAAHHHH). I've been so self concious about my spare tire since having the kids so I decided the best thing to do was just face up to it and do the most uncomfortable thing I could think of. Honestly, I haven't felt this free since before kids and marriage.

Jacob's a Bachelor!

Jacob has finished school and earned his degree in two years! I am so amazed by him. He plans on starting after his Masters degree next year, but I need a break first :) It would be nice to have him home in the evenings again for a while.

On a side note, I'm not very good at this blog stuff. Mostly because I don't think anyone reads it anyways :p

Hogle Zoo

The kids and I had a great trip to the zoo on Tuesday with Grandma and Aunt Suzanne. We were really lucky and got to see the baby elephant, tigers, snow leopard and giraffe. There was hardly anybody there so no crowds to fight. This was the best trip I've had to the zoo with my kids, thanks to my mom and sister for their help!

cutest baby ever... (aside from my own, and my relatives..)

My little Helper

Ian is the best little "helper". He is always trying to sweep the kitchen and put the dishes away (whether they are clean or not). He picks up toys, throws away garbage, closes the doors and any other thing he can think of thats "helpful". Last night Jacob was trying to work on some more framing in the basement and Ian kept handing him nails. Jacob put his hammer down for a second and there's Ian pounding on boards trying to put nails in them. I had to post these pictures showing him "help" daddy fix the brakes!
