good times

so, we are FINALLY on the downhill slope of our spring season. hopefully by the time memorial day gets here, i am working very little, if any! i so need the break this year more than normal i think. and i'm not really sure why, except there have just been so many changes that it's been hard to breathe. i don't know. i just know i am SO glad summer is coming and i will get to spend so much of it with hannah instead of in my office!

hannah is just more and more fun every day! some days i just stare at her not really knowing what to think. she has learned so much lately and talks like such a big kid. i don't even know where half of the stuff out of her mouth comes from! the other half, though, unfortunately, i know EXACTLY where it comes from!! :)

hannah is in swim lessons right now and LOVES the pool. when we talked to her about it before it started, she informed me she doesn't like the pool. so i was a little nervous. but that girl has taken to the water almost too well! she jumps off the side of the pool for me to catch her, she kicks her legs while holding onto a noodle, she blows bubbles in the water. she just doesn't like to go under yet. i have forced her (horrible, i know) a couple of times and she hates it. but i figure she needs to learn that it's ok to go under and it's not the end of the world if she does. besides that, it's been tons of fun. i do have lots of pics, i just never blog from the computer with the pics:)

we have been spending LOTS of time outside lately. the weather has been perfect and hannah loves bubbles and sidewalk chalk. she is a complete mess by the time we go back in, but who cares?? the fun is totally worth it. if the weather holds out on friday, we are going to go to the zoo again. she's been talking about going for weeks now, and i finally decided to just take a day off and go! it will be so much fun just having some mommy/daugher time!

i am now on week 3 of hitting the treadmill/weights hard core again. i had almost forgotten how much i love to work out. i was running some, but nothing that was pushing me. i am not really losing any weight yet, but my weight is moving, which is just as good of a result. my jeans are fitting a little better, and i definitely have more energy. the only thing that sucks is that i'm doing it at 9 at night when i'm already exhausted. but, i wait until hannah is in bed so i am not taking time away from her. i already don't have enough as it is!

months ago, i ordered a doll from Baby Be Blessed for hannah. it was supposed to be for Easter, but i only just got it yesterday. it is the cutest thing ever, and may be my favorite thing i have purchased for her yet. it is hand sewn and has a scripture patch on it. there will definitely be pictures of it here soon. hannah loves it! it is the perfect size and she loves that it has her name on it!

my friend vanessa is taking pictures of us on saturday, and i cannot wait! she is the one who did the fantastic pics of hannah before, and i know these will be just as wonderful. we haven't had family pictures done since hannah turned 1 so it's definitely time:) and just in time for mother's day!

i hope everyone is having a wonderful day :)
