all about a

today i feel like bragging about my beautiful, smart, and hilarious first born. 
at three years old she knows her alphabet, colors, shapes, the sound each letter makes, can write the alphabet, can count to 29 without help-farther with coaching:), can rhyme, knows opposites and can "read" 27 sight words. she also knows a ton about animals and can identify them- even ones ive never heard of:) like tapirs. and capybaras. 
she sings along to taylor swift on the radio. 
she is an amazing big sister and is in love with her little brother who in turn adores her and thinks everything she does is mesmerizing:)
she says the most honest and endearing prayers at naptime, and often quotes things that i say when i pray with her.
she has started telling jokes that make no sense, but at times totally crack me up. (What did the big dog do with the little dog? Made him into pancakes!!!)
she is a fish, loves to swim and would live in water if she could. 
on second thought, she would probably rather live in a tent and camp everyday.
she is a daddys girl and cries if he forgets to kiss her before he goes to work.
she asks to go out to eat at least 2 or 3 times a week, and if we do go and she gets to choose where- its usually culvers because you get icecream instead of a dinky toy prize.
she loves going to the playground, loves playing with her cousin nathan (who is 10 and finds her slightly annoying but indulges her anyway), loves rapunzel and the rest of the princesses and loves to dance and sing her way through life.

i could go on and on. 
she is such a blessing to our family. 
i love her so much and cant wait to watch her grow up- even though i tell her everyday to stop growing and stay little:)

what Jesus wants us to do

Romans 6 Dead to Sin, Alive to God   1  What shall we say then?  Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?  2  By no means! How can  we who died to sin still live in it?  3  Do you not know that all of us  who have been baptized  into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  4  We were  buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as  Christ was raised from the dead by  the glory of the Father, we too might walk in  newness of life.   5  For  if we have been united with him in  a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.  6  We know that  our old self  was crucified with him in order that  the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.  7  For  one who has died  has been set free from sin.  8  Now  if we hav...

letting jillian kick my bum again

in a desperate attempt at finally losing my baby weight leftover from big man i met up with my old frenemy jillian michaels this morning at 6AM in my living room to do the 30 day shred workout. it worked with A and i have confidence it will work again, if i can only carve out the time for it. im hoping that getting my body back on track will inspire me to regain selfcontrol in other areas of my life like spending quiet time with God and organizing our home and trying to stick to a budget and on and on. all great "things" to aspire to, but overwhelming when i feel like i need to "fix everything" at the same time. im not one to make resolutions with the new year. i know myself much too well for that:) but i can start small and if i stick with this working out dealy- its gonna require me getting up early (because both my babies are early birds) and committing to doing it even when i dont feel like it- i CAN lose my extra 10ish pounds by W's birthday. Which was my g...
