My first baby turns 24!!!

Wow, aren't I 24? It feels like it was just yesterday when I was 24. Those were great days!!! Being 24 and expecting baby # 3. Feeling young and loving my babies!!! Learning how to be a wife and mommy.

I couldn't of asked for a better "honeymoon" gift than God sending you to daddy and I!!! You were "born old" and took care of each baby sibling like they were your own. Always mature, smart, and responsible. (even if teenage girls don't want those qualities!) Thanks for rejoicing with us with each baby and being there to help when we needed you. As your siblings always say, "She really raised the bar for our family!" Love God and trust and follow in HIS ways all the days of your life and all will go well!!! THY WILL BE DONE!!! Hope your year is full of miracles!!! Love ya!!!

THY WILL BE DONE!!! +JMJ+

LUCKY #13---OUR BABY IS 2 !!!

On April 13th 2012 We were blessed with a "short term" 2 1/2 month old baby. We were working with a group call SAFE FAMILIES and were helping a mom while she got situated. Well she ended up asking us to take custody of this precious one and that is where we are still. We all love him as much, OR MORE, than if he was born of my womb. He is such a blessing and God gave him to our family at the perfect time!!! 

Here is some of our story concerning our MIRACLE!!!

Happy Birthday to my 21 year old!!!

Happy Birthday to my dear son who turns 21 today!!! Wow, you are so grown up and I am so proud of you and your accomplishments! I know God has great plans for you and you are going to do great things with your future! Just always stay close to the Lord and seek to do HIS holy will.

I think of you whenever I hear this song:

 

 Number three rocks!!!

I cried reading the following excerpts from your adviser when she wrote about you:

" initiative, confidence and incredible work ethic are what set his apart from fellow classmates."
 

 " is at ease around people and his calm, warm personality creates a welcoming environment..."

 "is able to build a trustful relationship. "

" is well liked by fellow classmates because of his ability to lead by example. "

"  is quick to volunteer his time to participate in community service events or to organize an event."

 "ability to teach and interact with people on a thoughtful and compassionate way"

  " able to work independently and completed tasks with accuracy and on time."

 " motivation and focus seemed tireless."     

" leaves the impression of a responsible, enthusiastic, and motivated young man." 

  

 "an individual with a thirst for knowledge and dedication."

Besides being a man of God these are the qualities I always prayed you would have!!!

I love you forever, I like you for always, As long as I'm living my baby you'll be!!! 

Thy Will Be Done!!! +JMJ+ 

My exercise Plan

In March 2011 I started off 163lbs, I lost 37 lbs the first time I did the 17 day diet, I love eating, now I actually like eating  healthy and kinda like exercising. With the support of my triathlete/marathon husband I have kept it off.  So for the past year I have been eating what I want on weekends and on Mondays I do the strict cycle one. Then from Tues to Fri I moderate cycle two, three, and four.

My recent hour workout schedule looks a little like this:
Thanks to my personal trainer who helped me make a plan:
M/W/F:
Gym 6-7:15 or so
Do HIIT run-looks like this:
warm up on 5 for 2 min
go to 6.5 for one min
go to 7 for one min
go to 7.5 for one min
go to 8 for one min
go to 8.5 for one min
go to 9 for one min

then back to 6.5 and do it again
I do this the circuit three times

Then I go to do weight training:
(do each 15 times for 3 rotations)
1. Chest Fly (on back with 15lb weight in each hand-bring up to each other)
2. Back Row (on each side with 25lb weight, knuckle on bench, knee on bench, back straight, pull up weight like pulling a lawn mower cord up)
3. Shoulder Raise (10lb weight in each hand, stand up straight, lift up arms at the same time
4. Bicep Curls (hold a 15lb weight in each hand one at a time curl up arm-15 sets, so 30 times)

Then I do some ab workouts...sometimes the roman Chair, then some leg lift/crunches, jack knives, and scissors.

On Tues/Thurs (5-6:15am) I use a ARC Trainer.  I use 2lb hand weights in each hand doing arm lifts/boxing punches, and just pumping my arms with them. Not sure how I would do without my ipod. I have an hour worth of Christian pop music that really helps me get moving. Then home to shower and wait for the babies to wake up!

On Sat/Sun I take off, sometimes I do a short run, workout video, or ab workouts. It all depends on our busy schedule.

THY WILL BE DONE!!! +JMJ+
