No longer a baby

My baby is no longer a baby....she turned 4 on Tuesday. She had a party at the gymnastic studio on Saturday with 10 of her buddies - it was exhausting watching them run, jump, and tumble for an hour. They all had so much fun! On Tuesday, church school threw her another party. On Wednesday, preschool sang another round of Happy Birthday. I asked what she wanted me to bring for snack (I was mommy helper) and she said "anything but cupcakes mom!". She decided to take fruit snacks and grapes. Teacher Ria always has the kids blow out a candle but without a cupcake we had to put the candle inside a grape! The funniest picture I think she'll ever have in her photo album! :) And today.....movies and computer games from Grandpa Stan came in the mail and a card from Grandpa Jocko and Grandma Margaret with a Walmart Gift Card inside......I'm hoping it has come to an end by now! Poor thing will think birthdays "should" be a week long celebration! :)

I've been doing double time on the cardio this past week, I want to get "ahead" of myself so I don't feel as guilty for not doing it while JJ is away. The last 2 weeks I have only been doing 2 weight days/week. It's amazing how fast your muscle weakens! A month ago when I was training with Rod & Brenda I could deal out 3 sets of 12 pull ups - I struggled to get through 2 sets of 8 yesterday - oops!

My friend Shannon is competing in Fitness Model on May 12 in Calgary. She is in her final 2.5 weeks and needs all the support we can dish out. Her blog URL is listed on the right side of my blog - when you have time, scoot over to her site and give her some words of encouragment. My cousin Leigh is competing and training for May 12 but she doesn't have a blog. You can leave some uplifting comments here for her as she checks out my blog regularly! :)

Live YOUR Life!
