Stud Muffin!

Last month, my studly husband competed in the Southeast Crossfit Regionals. You have to qualify in order to even compete at the regional level, so that in itself was quite an accomplishment. Ty did very well at the competition, especially having only less than a year of crossfit training under his belt. Here a few shots of Ty in action. Very nice!

How lucky am I?!

I LOVE THESE KIDS!!!!!!

Beach Reunion

Every year we get together at the beach with all of Bebe's side of the family. It's such a fun time for soooo many reasons, but I have to say the best part is watching the kids play together and enjoy their vacation. I have such fond memories of going on family vacations and hanging out with my cousins. In fact, some of the best times in my life. I'm savoring every moment my children have when they little because they are too young to realize how precious these moments are. Here are a few pictures of the kids on the dolphin cruise.

Pre-K Graduation

My sweet baby boy graduated from Pre-K this past Friday.  *Sobs*  I can't believe he will starting Kindergarten in the Fall...it seems like just yesterday that I took him home from the hospital, said his first word, took his first step....time flies.  Now he's this young, handsome, 5 year old boy all geared up to ride the bus on his first of school to Kindergarten.  Good thing I've got a whole summer to prepare myself for this huge step!!!!

The school put on an awesome graduation that brought me tears. They played a DVD of all the Pre-K students which included.pictures of the children throughout the year and filmed each student asking them what they want to be when they grow up.  All of the children had great answers, but my favorite answer was "I want to be a mommy when I grow up".  The best job in the world!  Nate's answer was "I want to be a scientist when I grow up".  Good answer Nate! 

Nate was lucky enough to have his Bebe, Nana, and Aunt Lellie attend his graduation.  He was so happy that they good make it!  Thank y'all!  I have more pictures of the graduate in his cap in gown, but I'll have to put them on my next post.

Almost 3 months later!

I haven't posted lately, but I'm pretty sure no one really noticed.  I just thought I would give my blog some activity with this pointless post. 

Here's Leah potty training.

Lately...

Well the tables have turned in regards to my kids behavior. Nate came into this world with a fiery passion for life which could sometimes be confused with him behaving like a wild animal (primate of some sort). Leah entered life very laid back and easy-going (except for those months of h*ll during colic)....totally chill.
Wow! Thing have definitely changed. Nate is sooooo easy...listening, behaving, helping....I could go on and on. Leah on the other hand has turned into a full on DIVA. She is extremely independent and it makes life very difficult especially when are trying to be on time for school, church, doctors appointments, etc. Now I know that their ages are a huge determinate of their behavior (Nate is almost 5 and Leah is almost 2 1/2), but I'm just saying. This entry may sound like I'm complaining, because I am....remember the title of my blog. :) Anyhow, I will look back at this point in my life and get a good laugh.

Miss Independent

(That face makes it really hard for me to stay frustrated.)

BTW- Life lately is great!!!!

LIVESTRONG!

A shot out for Ian.

Hold it Against Me

I admit that one of my guilty pleasures is Britney Spears, so of course I like her new song, Hold it Against Me. I came across this awesome cover of the song performed by this amazing new artist, John Lennon. Check it out!

Enjoy!

I came across this on Facebook and thought I'd share it with ya'll. This is so touching to me....notice how the little girl is leaning on her daddy....SOOOO SWEET!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!!!

Yep that's right....I haven't posted since Halloween. I totally missed the rest of the holidays, which happened to be totally awesome. I can't seem to get with the whole blogging schedule. I've decided that this year, 2011, will be a time for some big changes. I'm not talking New Years resolutions, because those never last. These changes are to be life lasting. I want to be a better me. I plan on giving 150% towards everything I do....as a Christian, mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend....etc. I also want to take better care of myself (physically and mentally) because that makes it easier for me to perform these goals. So here's to a new start!!!

As for those wonderful holidays I mentioned earlier....

Thanksgiving was so much fun because the entire Jensen gang along with my awesome in-laws were able to get together for a delicious turkey dinner. We all left fat and happy!

December was action packed because we headed down to Orlando for a week because my baby sis graduated from UCF. Go Lellie! Go KNIGHTS!!! Since we had a lot of time to kill we decided to hit up Disney World. Loads of fun!

The rest of December flew by so quickly....tons of family, tons of shopping, and tons of eating. My three favorites things....what more could I ask for?! Christmas time was the only thing that I would change because it's never long enough. :( I'm already counting down til next year.

New Years was so much fun! Long story short, we almost didn't make it out for the evening, but everything turned around. We rang in the New Year with Jess and Mike....couldn't ask for a better night.

Now onto 2011....here we come!
