3 Years Later...

and my favorite sound is still the garage door opening when HeRoos gets home.
The most comfortable place for my hand is in his.
April (Friday), the 13th 2007 was the day I made the best decision of my life.
Happy Anniversary HeRoos, you still Rock my world!

Easter Fun

It was another fun Easter celebration at the Roos'. I'm 95% sure MB isn't color blind but he tried picking up his cousin's eggs (our little family only looks for the green eggs). When he picked up the wrong color, HeRoos and I would throw the egg back. Mr. Boy thought this was how the hunt worked. He picked up an egg and then threw it. The kid has a pretty good arm. It took us a little longer to find all of our eggs but it was a good time.

The Search is on for the Perfect Pair of Jeans

Pregnancy changes the body. Even when the weight is gone, things have shifted. It has been a challenge finding jeans that don't reveal crack, shift the soft spots into a mushroom shape, or scream 'MOM'. After owning plenty of jeans that are just OK, I've decided it's time to fork out the cash for a pair that I really feel good in.

HeRoos & I went out for Sushi and a trip to the mall. The cash that I have been saving for this occasion was tucked safely away. I tried on lots of jeans and HeRoos was surprisingly patient. When I was debating between two pairs he suggested that I get both. I was giddy and even more excited when he treated me to both pairs.

Then I got home and tried them on.
Then again the next morning.
And again in the afternoon.
And again before going to bed.

My mirror was a sad reality check. It looks like these jeans will be returned to the store to find a happier owner, along with the other two that have been returned this month- making that a total of 4 imperfect jeans. (Yes, please let me blame the imperfection on the jeans, not my lack of diligent exercise).

After recommitting myself to some serious work outs & looking forward to results, my goal is to once again be on the prowl for the perfect pair of jeans in May. Oh no, then bathing suit season is just around the corner.

Six Pack Family Night

Do you ever wish that you could record parts of your life to play over and over if you're having a bad day? Last night was one of those nights. We've been trying to do a better job at having "Family Night" on Mondays with prayers, songs, and a lesson about Jesus and His teachings. It was HeRoos' turn to give the lesson. After flipping through the Children's Hymn book for what seemed like hours, he settled on a song. The minute we started singing, the ab work out began. We couldn't contain our laughter- our singing was off tune and HORRIBLE. That didn't stop us. We started over and over again. HeRoos had the nerve to tell me that I was off key & that he knew because he sings this song with his primary class every Sunday. Excuuuuse me. We laughed and sang, sang and laughed until our stomachs ached. In our closing prayer, we asked for help improving our singing. Watch out *MOTAB, you may have some Roos' joining you!

Dress Rehearsal

Here is a little "Easter Candy" early, especially for the grandmas. Why is it that I love to dress my kiddos up and they hate it (well ZoZo didn't mind as much as Mr. Boy). It was a serious wrestling match to get MB to try on his clothes and then he wanted them off asap. If they knew how cute they looked, they would want to leave them on until next Easter. There will be more to come and maybe, just maybe, MB will smile at the camera. Notice ZoZo ready to say grace-she is such an angel baby.
