Easter Egg Hunt at Jackie Mackie's!

Guess who's baske this is?






Bella and Thumper give loves

Yes, Jackie Mackay is one of my favorite people in this world. I use to babysit her youngest son when I was just 11 years old. I remember my friend Alexyss and I got cpr certified at the whidden hospital and took babysitting classes, so she then entrusted us with her baby boy Andrew. We were so proud to babysit him and take him on walks down Park Ave in the big old fashion boucing carriage that Jackie had. Now years have gone by but it never feels like years have gone by when I am with Jackie. She is awesome!
She so kindly invited us over her house for an easter egg hunt with her adorable granddaughter Alexis. We had a blast! The kids hunted all in her yard for eggs, then we painted little bird houses and had pizza for lunch and Jackie even had the funny string for the kids to spray all over her yard. Also, we got to pat "Thumper", her rabbit and meet "Bella", Alexi's dog who was so sweet.
We had an awesome time and thank Jackie so much for having us over!
We love you, Jackie!!!

And he don't stop!

Yep, little Max broke his wrist last Sunday at Gigi's house playing soccer, landing and bending hard on his left wrist. He cried a little bit after and then fell asleep on the couch, we just chalked it up to be exhaustion since he was up late the 2 nights before. Next morning, he was still in pain and not moving his arm at all, so off for x-rays we went and sure enough, we were pretty shocked !, we really thought it was just a sprain. But, Max's little left wrist had been fractured.
We spent the whole afternoon at the MGH Er and finally came home with a pretty cool red cast, we chose red for the RED SOX! Then once that cast was set, Max was good as new. As you can see, he hasn't slowed down.
We just are keeping our fingers crossed that it heals well and he can be able to play t-ball, it will be his first year playing so we hoping for the best for Max!

Week In Review

Wow,
I haven't been a good blogger lately. And I am gona blame my back for it. Today is the first day in atleast 2 weeks that I can say I feel better. Thanks to some nice muscle relaxers my doctor prescribed me. I actually thoroughly cleaned the house today and have the energy to go out to the park with the kids.
Miraculously I did lose 5 pounds,,which shocked me right out of my boots ( cause I wear boots these days ) but really it shocked me cause I haven't been exercising at all and then with pms and all that crap I so figured I would of gained. But I weighed in happily and surprisingly 5 pounds less at the nutritionists office and at my house scale. So it is quite encouraging to see the numbers go down and keep on keepin on eating wisely ( most of the time ) and eventually getting active again, even if for now it is just walking, walking is moving and moving is grooving.
This week the boys found out what teams they will be on for baseball and t-ball. Both their first years playing!
Max is on "The Chiefs" and Jordan is on the "Kansas City Royals" and big Daddy is his coach, assistant coach if ya wanna get specific. They will march in the parade opening day, April 25th, Saturday. I am excited to see my little guys all spiffed up in their cleets and baseball caps marching it down the street to Saint Mary's Baseball field. Lets hope for sunshine that day!!!
Did I mention this week, that I lost 5 pounds? I think I did...and


Bella took a trip to the aquarium with big daddy. Of course, he forgot the camera so no pictures of that but they had a blast and Bella loved holding the star fish and said she was "very scared of the sharks", that came close up to her in the big fish tank.


And the kids are very excited for Easter Bunny to hop on down the bunny trail next week and leave some easter eggs for them!
Miss you all and can't wait to bust out for lunch soon!!!

slack-a-lackin

yep,
that's me with my blog lately: slack-a-lackin.
watching points and exercising and taking care of the kids has really occupied most of my time,
though my clothes feel a little looser
i have yet to get back on the scale.
cause the first week i did, the numbers didn't move! i was pissed!!!
my husband and whoever i complained to about this told me "muscle weighs more then fat" but it still is discouraging when you are bustin ya arrrsssss working out and eating green leafs most of the day ( well not most of the day but lots of blah stuff is what i am trying to say ) and still the weight, the numbers doesn't go downward.
so that is why i have yet to get back on the darn scale.
i go to the nutritionist in the beginning of April, so that is my big weigh in day.
i'm trying
i'm aware,
if i bite it, i write it down in my food journal
and
if i mess up, i don't beat myself up,
i just keep on keepin on...
here
are some shots of what we've been up too.
Jordan did get an awesome new bike, cause his "daddy long legs" were way to big for his old bike, his knees were hitting the handle bars, so he looked like a real cutes on that one....
Gigi, with her generous soul, helped us get him this hot bike at Target besides the fact that he was too big for his old bike, he has been improving his test grades at school, so it was a well-deserved treat.

Also took Bella to Monkey Joes while Max and Jordan were at school. We met Auntie Erica and Baby G ( that is what Bella calls her Baby G) Gianna, there.
They had a blast. This was Bella's second time climbing it and she was like a professional.
What a workout they get on those blow up things!
