green drinks

Lately I have been feeling really tired and I know that we as a family could do a little better in the healthy eating department so I am trying something new. These are called green drinks because they are made with spinach, among other really healthy things. It was a little hard to convince everyone except Landon to eat it (Landon never needs a convincing he's always starving) . They were actually really good and because of the bananas you can't even taste the greens. So yummy!!

He's processing to see if he really does like it....

And he wouldn't try it because it was green, so I made him a berry smoothie and then slipped in the spinach undetected. Alex who really needs to drink this wouldn't even touch them, go figure.

Landon couldn't drink this stuff fast enough, he loved it!!

so cute...

Isn't this the cutest baby you ever saw?

and what about these buns? Don't you just wanna pinch them?

and this boy don't you wanna hug him so tight?

blueberry pancakes

I really love a good blueberry pancake and well this monkey does too. If he sees me making pancakes in the morning he will immediately start yelling until he gets some.

He's not the cleanest eater, it's a work in progress...

time for clean up...

tennis pros

The boys have started playing tennis this week and they love it! They listen to their coach and try their best to spank that ball. Jayden can make it over the net already and Alex has too. Their coach keeps encouraging them to spank the tennis balls and they sure whack at the ball. I took them the other day to get their rackets and Alex has blue, and Jayden's is white. What I really like most about the tennis is not how cute they look on the courts(even though I DO love that), but that they are able to do it together. It's pretty neat to see them learning something new together. They are each others biggest fans (besides me and Landon) when they are on those courts, and it makes me think of what they will be like when they are older.

while they are practicing Landon tries to steal balls...

we try and play a little while we wait

nice hit Alex!!

Frozen Yogurt is definitely needed after a HOT tennis lesson!

cuddled up

this is how I found them asleep last night... My heart just melted...

Resolutions..

Now I know what you are thinking... It's late in the year to start making resolutions but I feel that I am in dire need to make some changes so here it goes.....

1. Always, Always stay current on this blog!! I hate playing catch up, and I am usually a month behind...

2. attend the Temple at least twice a month, I love going there and miss it when I don't get to go...

3. Get organized in my YW things...PP charts I am talking about you!

4. Play tennis or get active at least a couple times in the week... I really want to hit the courts;)

5. Eat, Cook, and Feed myself and the family more healthy, natural things...this one will have to be a work in progress.

Separately these tasks do not sound too bad or overwhelming so I am trying to stay positive and just put my shoulder to the wheel and push these resolutions along. I love my boys, and Geoffrey and that is why I am trying so hard to make these changes. I want to be the healthiest I can be and I especially want that for my family. I know how important and sacred these bodies are and I want to keep them that way. So lets get to work family!!!

look who's walking...

The days of the worm crawl are officially over!! A tear just rolled down my cheek :( I can't believe little baby Landon is walking! He is a "real" baby no more. While I am a little bit sad, he is way excited and is so happy that now he can keep up with the big brothers a little easier. His brothers think he is pretty cool and are usually yelling, "come on baby, walk to me!" they enjoy watching him grow and learn new things.
