Peaceful Ending...

I have to admit this is my favorite part of the day...the end:) I love seeing my children sleeping peacefully and QUIETLY. I snapped this picture because of Emily's legs...I don't know how she can sleep in such odd positions. I love going into their room before I go to bed to see how they fell asleep. Of course note the fact they both have their blankets, they wouldn't be sleeping so peacefully without them:)

Definetly a fluke

Well...unfortunately yesterday was a fluke. My great feeling lasted until a whopping 10am and then that was it. Atleast I have hope that I can feel normal again someday:)

A light at the end...

I actually exercised today!!! That might not seem that exciting to some, but I was doing it routinely up until 5 weeks ago when this pregnancy interfered. I've been feeling horrible and unable to motivate myself to do anything beyond what had to be done and this morning I actually felt good. I chose an "easy" step video...wow am I deconditioned, but oh well I know I can work up to it again. Hopefully today is the beginning of the great part of pregnancy and not just a fluke and hopefully the baby is still okay...since having my first miscarriage, I always worry about miscarriage until I hear the heartbeat. Of course, if I really am on the mend I have a lot of bad habits to break...movies everyday for me and the kids, staying at home, neglecting chores...but all in good time:)

Veteran's Day Fun

Darrell had no school on Veteran's day and he really felt the need to do something to celebrate, so we ventured to the parade in Phoenix. We were there 1 hour early and 1 1/2 hours into the parade we were all ready to go. There was still probably atleast another 1 1/2 hours and so we walked quickly through crowds and escaped:) It was fun watching Derek wave his flags at the passing floats, but enough was enough. It is only fun for so long with 2 little kids. But, it was something different to do.

Halloween Fun

This year for Halloween Derek was an army guy...costume made by Grandma Brimhall because Mom was too tired:) Emily was a very cute spider purchased at Wal-mart. She loves putting the spider costume on and showing off to anyone who will ooooo and ahhh at her. Derek's favorite part about Halloween was trick-or-treating and candy and playing toys (at a Halloween party). Derek also really likes Emily's spider web. This was my first year taking Derek trick-or-treating, as Darrell did it last year. It was a lot of fun watching him. He was shy the first house and then he was off. Derek even dragged Emily to one house so she could get a lolly pop...then she just walked around sucking on that and was happy. Well that's all for now.
