Boulder City

Jonathan towards the end of his down hill course.

The boys had a blast hanging out at Bootleg Mountain where the race was held. They had tons of bridges and jumps and teeter totters built that made a fun playground for the boys to play on. Tanners favorite thing to do was slide down the steep washes on his bottom.

Valentines day was spent in Boulder City, NV for a down hill bike race Jonathan entered. It was fun to get away for the long weekend and the weather was gorgeous! We mostly hung out at the Mountain and watched the racers and enjoyed the weather, but we did manage to spend half a day in Vegas at the Children's Museum.

As I am approaching my last nine weeks of pregnancy it is these little changes in my schedule that keep me going. I think April 27th will approach fast with spring break coming up and Tanners birthday. I am looking forward to some of the events that are approaching but I can't wait for that baby to come!

No Dessert!

No sweets, no sweets, NO SWEETS! That is my mantra lately. Last week I officially hit my twenty eighth week in my pregnancy. That is when my midwives said I could cut down on the simple carbohydrates that I eat. If I do I could possibly lower the birth weight of my baby. It may not be much weight but after having a 9 lbs. baby, I am willing to stay a little more disciplined.

I have to say I did really good with my diet in the beginning of my pregnancy. I knew I would want to be disciplined in the end so I started early so I wouldn't have to change my eating habits drastically at 28 weeks; But then the holidays hit and I couldn't resist the cookies, pies, toffee that were thrown my way. It was yummy but left me with a slight sugar addiction! I am finally starting to kick it and it does feel good. Whether you are pregnant or not your body and mind and spirit thank you when you feed yourself healthy nutritious food.
