Zions 4 months

My big boy went for his 4 month apt. yesterday, He weighed in at 18.5 pounds, which is the 99%. He is one tall boy at 27.5 inches which puts him over the 100% mark. Everything else is great, we are sopposed to start feeding him real food now 2 times a day, sopposdly it will have less calories then my gravy boob.

Blog Slacker!!

I think I may just be the biggest blog slacker there is. How long has it been 3 weeks? Things here have been going well. Addison is playing playing playing and asking9257875785636 questions about everything. I have to keep reminding myself that she is just 2 and answer them all to the best of my ability without getting up set with her. Zion is still a giant. We will see just how much of a giant he really is on Monday when we go in for his 4 month apt.

Last week we tried to get a good picture for Christmas Cards. Yeah we are still working on that. Zion did get some super cute pictures for his 4 month pictures...

Monday Monday

We have had a pretty good week at the Conder house. both kids are still alive! Addison has been very trying on me recently. One minute she is as sweet as can be and the next she is just rotten. As I have said many many times before, " this too shall pass". Zion started cereal this week. He has been watching every bite that goes into our mouths so why not try with him, So far so good.

Friday night my mom volunteered to watch the kids for us while we went to dinner. We ended up going to the "Dutch Cafe" oh my gosh, it is fantastic. If you are ever near Peru by the base you must go there! It is the best Amish cooking!

Saturday we were able to meet up with my good Friend Melissa and her little boy Corey while they were in town from Chicago. It was great catching up with her and watching the kids play.

Nothing else new..

Halloween and such

My computer is junk! So I am on Adams, Hopefully I can get some pictures to load.

We had a great time on Halloween, Addison was a Butterfly and loved going door to door to get candy. The first few houses she was a little shy but by the end of the route she was a pro. Zion on the other hand slept through most of it except for the GIANT spit up at the Spesards.

Zion is still growing like a weed! I think he is going to be 6 foot tall by the time he starts kindergarten. I got on the scale with him yesterday and he was 18 lbs. I think we may start cereal a little early with him, maybe it has less calories.

Addison is still her imaginative little self. It never surprises me as to what will come out of her mouth next. The other day she came up to me and said "Mom lets go to the rain forest, Maybe the Amazon" Sounds good to me.

As far as sewing and crafts go I've been kind of slow but would love to pick up some sales to help with Christmas, So if you know of anyone that would like a baby carrier please let me know, I would be happy to work you a deal. This is my most recent one, I wish I could have kept it for myself..

One week down

One week down and two pounds lost. Im pretty proud of myself. I ran a mile and a half on Monday, I actually ran the entire time, Walked 2.5 miles on Tuesday, 30 minutes on the Eliptical on Wednesday and Friday. Not only does it feel good to work out but it also gives me a chance to get out of the house kid free. I just wish I had more then a half hour to do it, I go over Adams lunch hour. Oh well I will take what I get.

Addison is also doing pretty well potty training, she has actually started to tell us when she has to go when we are in public, so that makes it nice. There is nothing like spinting through the store in search of a potty.

My computer is about ready to die! It has some virus on it that isnt allowing me to upload my pictures. So once I burn all of my pictures an music to a disk I think I will insert the reboot disk and have a new computer. Unless someone has a better solution to my problem....

Today is the day!

Thats right I have gone on long enough trying to lose this baby weight by not doing anything about it, so today is D- Day. Here in about a half hour Im going to double bag the girls and go for my first run in lord knows how long. That also means that Im cutting out the candy bars that I have been secretly sneeking and cutting back to one coke a day. I've lost 31 lbs since Zion was born but I still have 10 to get to my pre pregancy weight and 5 more after that to get to my weight that I was before I miss carried the twins. The problem is I have no motivation to go out and run which is so unlike me. Before Kids all I would do is run. So hopefully this will jump start my love for running agian. Adam has agreed to come home for lunch at the same time everyday so I can have my me time to do this. Wish me luck!

Fall

What beautiful weather we had this weekend! Im so happy that we were able to get out and enjoy it some. We went to the pumpkin patch and then rosted Marshmellows on Saturday it was so much fun. I am loving this age with Addison she gets so excited about everything and everyone is her new friend. Zion could have cared less about the pumkin patch but it did make for some cute pictues.
