last week we realized the raspberries in our backyard are ripe!
they are so delicious
and so fun to pick
we've been picking more and more every day
it's so awesome
and convinced us that we'll need to plant some bushes when we buy a house
michael and i have been getting serious about losing weight
we've been taking turns running on the treadmill every night
and doing some push ups and sit ups
(more michael than me...i'm still waiting on my stomach muscles to come back)
and eating healthier
i think we're both down about 5 pounds in the last two weeks or so which is encouraging
but it's still a lot of work and we (i) have a ways to go still
henry has started telling me the most amazing stories
he is the cutest!
i love how expressive his eyes are
olive and eleanor have decided henry's crib is their favorite hangout
they alternate between climbing in and hiding underneath
silly girls
i love that they're so close in age (21 months and 1 day) and love playing together
until olive's birthday in a couple weeks, they're 2 &3
hazel is seriously such a lifesaver
when i am busy and can't get henry right away
she's always happy to help with him
i am so grateful i have her
i think they look alike!
and last but not least...
noah busted out the old glasses! i love them
he's so cute and sweet
he drives me crazy sometimes like...not wanting to do his writing before playing mario
but he says things like, "thanks for being the best mom ever and always taking care of us"
and it's super sweet
michael's hours at work are kind of long...it doesn't help that we live 1/2 an hour each way from work
this week he has worked EXTRA long days... to make up for taking tomorrow off
and it's kind of killed me
i'm so tired
waking up with a baby at night, taking care of 5 kids all day and not really getting a break
it's been a long week
but i'm looking forward to driving to utah tonight
and spending the weekend with michael and my whole family for our family reunion
it's going to be awesome!

that's so awesome about getting healthy! It's nice when there are some quick results to help with motivation. Seeing your pictures makes me want to have 3 more babies. Too bad Garrett isn't on board. :(
way to go on getting back into running. you are super hot.
hazel is such a doll. i bet it is so nice to have her be your little pal.
i really wish we were still neighbors so we could go to the park and distract you from the long days.
have fun when you come to utah! let me know if you have time for a soda run :)
I'm jealous you are able to start getting in shape again. I feel like that is so far away for me. Enjoy your weekend away.
yay for raspberries! we have only had a couple ripe ones so far, but our strawberries are going crazy so that's been fun. good job on getting healthy! that's not easy but I think it helps when you can do it together.
