Park

Park, what a fun place to be on a gorgeous sunny day. We took the wee ones out today, first for a bike ride and then to the park to "wing" as Evan would say it. What fun it is to be at the park! We made a vow to be more active and to get the kids out more and so far so good. We hooked up our bikes and bike trailer and off we went.

The laughter that came out of this little boy, made my heart melt. He had the time of his life.

Quinlan thought the swing was pretty cool, he just "hung" around.

Cutest part, Evan pushing Quinlan but not quite understanding that he had to move once he pushed him, he ended up on the ground a few times.

10 Months Old

Guess...

Who....

Is....

10 months old?!?!?

Unbelievable how fast time flies!!!

Quinlan is a wonderful baby! He is definitely a momma's boy, hates to sleep, cries a lot, laughs a lot, adores Cassidy and Evan, fights with Evan, doesn't like baby food anymore, loves to play with the dog food and water, loves baths, loves to be outside, hates avocadoes :( , has 6 teeth, bites hard, drinks out of a sippy cup, loves walks in the stroller, loves to snuggle, hates to be changed, gator rolls during diaper changes, and loves to be loved on!

We love you Quinlan Grant Luna!

Bath Time Fun

Two explosive diapers, two boys in the bathtub!!

Motivation

Motivation is the internal condition that activates behavior and gives it direction; and energizes and directs goal-oriented behavior...

How many times have you "decided" that you were going to do something, but something else got in the way and you just didn't get it done?

This happens to me on a daily basis, and I am trying to get out of this rut I am stuck in. I never have and never will like to work out. I do like the way it makes me feel but I just can not figure out how to make my brain like it. The solution to all a person's problems in life lie within theirself.

Even the decision to FIND something motivational is within your control. You choose your own games in life...whether they are fun, boring, dangerous, sad, or whatever...YOU are the one who chooses them. The decision never comes from "out there somewhere".

So the only real motivation comes from within...from YOUR DECISION TO TAKE ACTION. And the decision I have made is to get up and go run, eventhough Quinlan is crying, Evan is still in pajamas, and Cassidy is bored. I must take care of myself!!!

Until then...here are a few pictures.

Deep Freeze

We have some cold weather here today, Cassidy even had a snow day, eventhough there was no snow, there was some serious ice on the roads. How is is that it will not be above freezing for three days but get no snow? So unfair. If our windchills are going to be below 0 then we should have snow! Tonights low 14 tomorrow's low 12, love it!!!!

Happy 2010!!

Already a new year! Hard to believe how fast time flies. I have so many resolutions but I need to try and stick to a few.

1. Work out/lose weight...I know I know who doesn't have this one?
2. Keep up with my blog better.
3. Be more organized with my house and my pictures.
4. Be a better person overall!
This is a great way to ring in the New Year! love you Dion

Nothing like a zonked out baby and soon to be zonked out Daddy. New Year's did them in.

White Christmas 2009

First White Christmas since 1920! Unbelievable! It was beautiful, everything I ever expected and I finally didn't feel stupid singing about a white Christmas! We are so blessed, snow, family and a just an all around good time. Santa was great to all of usand I am sad that it is all over. I think I seriously suffer from the holiday blues.

This picture was just to cute not to post. Marissa and Quinlan

It snowed all day on Christmas Eve and we finally went out that night to play in the snow, it was cold! It lasted all day Christmas Day and even a few days after. Reanna, Marissa and Gannon on Christmas Eve

Christmas morning, of course Quinlan enjoyed the paper, the boxes, and playing on the boxes. He had so much fun!

Evan truly enjoyed Christmas this year. To see his face light up with the presents was priceless.

Cassidy and her new iPod touch.

After presents we went out for a walk in the snow. What a beautiful beautiful end to our Christmas morning.

The dogs had a great time in the snow as well!
