Personal Goal...

I've been thinking a lot about being able to shed this baby weight. 6 week mark is tomorrow and that is about when they let you return to "normal activities". I honestly can't wait. Goals are terrific things and I decided that I wanted to up my previous goal of running a 5K to running a 10K (6.2 miles). I've already ran 3 5K's in the last few years and loved the feeling of being able to run across the finish line. So over the weekend I bought me a new pair of running shoes and I'm ready to go on Monday. I literally have 6 weeks before the 10K on June 6th so wish me luck! In other news, Lucas slept 6 solid hours last night and I'm hoping that keeps on continuing. I know it doesn't last forever and I already see changes in him. He definitely has gotten longer and getting a pot belly. Did I fail to mention he rolled over at 4 weeks? I thought it was a fluke at first so I put him on his belly again and there he went. He probably rolls over atleast once a day. I'm trying to get a video of it without him getting mad. Zachary is being Zachary. Definitely loves to go visit everybody. The cast definitely does not slow him down a bit. His newest thing is building a tent out of our dining room table. Imagination is alive for sure. Jason has been wonderful with everything and helping out as much as he can. Family is great! I truly feel blessed for what Heavenly Father has given me.

Easter pics

This year for Easter I found a Easter Egg stamp kit and a paint roller kit at Target. So we did it for one of our Family Home Evenings. I wouldn't have done it the egg dying way with Zachary because I'm sure Zachary would have tried to dye the house. Zachary dove right on in and we created some pretty eggs. Then our church had a Easter Egg hunt at the park that Zachary participated in. It's safe to say Zachary was strung out on Easter candy for a couple of days thereafter. We had a good time. I thought it would be fun to put Zachary's Easter basket outside his bedroom door that way when he woke up he would come out and see it. It worked, but not the way I thought it would go. Lucas had been pretty fussy that night and I just got to lay back down when 30 mins later Zachary woke up. I honestly don't remember a thing after that. I thought Zachary would come show me his basket, but he didn't. So I woke up to cleaning up a mess of Easter grass, candy and wrappers. Which in return made us late to church. Oh well better luck next time I guess. I hope everybody had a nice Easter.

This is what Lucas did while we were doing Easter Eggs.

Sleep deprived

Lucas is now a month old and we still have weeks to go for a good night's sleep. That is if he follows Zachary's pattern of 6 solid hours of sleep at 6 weeks. Definitely a lot more challenging having 2. We are hanging in there though. Zachary still is in love with "his" baby Lucas. Every now and then he gets mad when Lucas is crying in the car and won't stop. But that is after he has tried giving him his pacifier or singing to him. I really couldn't ask for more from Zachary. It's been a tough week though as Lucas has been pretty colicky. I'm not a big fan of a pacifier, but it's been a sleep saver. I'm hoping his colic doesn't get any worse. I have total pitty for those moms that have a really bad colicky baby. I haven't taken many pictures as I'm just plain worn out. Here are a few from today.
