Mornings are my favorite. From about 7 until noon Luke is so much fun and in a great mood! You would never know he was such a colicky kid in the afternoon/evening! Hopefully being a happy camper all day isn't too far away!

yay!

We finally got a baby monitor and Luke spent all of last night in his room and crib. Woo hoo!

nO moRe JuNk..

So, I really am going to stop eating junkfood today!!! Well, maybe I can have ice cream once a week. :)
I don't think I could stop myself from having ice cream all together!... or maybe this picture is motivation to give that up... hehe.
I've been telling myself this every day for the past 3 weeks and almost every day I eat an oreo granola bar, cookies, or something equally dumb and full of empty calories. I've craved sugar so much more lately then I ever did when I was pregnant. Anyway, time to make this goal a reality!

Ants

This past week we have ants ALL over our house! Well, I should say all over the inside of the house. It's so annoying! Everywhere I go... the laundry room, our bedroom, the guest bedroom, the kitchen... AAaaa!!! I'm so tired of spraying for ants... and even more tired of being bitten! The dumb things won't leave me alone! Yesterday morning I woke up with a red bump on my forehead where I am sure one bit me while I was sleeping... and it has continued to get worse. This morning I looked Quasimodo as my forehead, the bridge between my eyes, and my left eye have all continued to swell. It's 5:30 in the afternoon my condition has not yet improved. So cute. Maybe I'll call an exterminator tomorrow....

FaSt sHoEs!...

When I was little, I believed that new shoes made me run so much faster. I remember vividly in second grade a pair that I was certain made me the fastest girl at recess. In my mind, I was by far the best at red rover and kicked my friend's trash at tag... all because of my cool shoes- hot pink and bright green LA Gear. They had a million shoelaces in all three colors found on the shoe... white, pink, and green. Yes, they were awesome. :)
Well, I never really got over feeling faster when I get new running shoes, and getting a new pair is always a highlight of my summer. I'm not so sure that my legs actually move faster or that my brain is so excited about the comfortable new Nikes or Newbalances on my feet that running just seems more pleasant. Maybe being quicker is just in my imagination (most likely) or maybe I really am!
Anyway, last weekend Jake and I went shopping and I got some new running shoes... "Nike Air Zoom Miller." I was SO excited to try them out... and yes, I think that because of them, I ran faster then I did the day before in my old shoes. They are way more comfy then my last pair was, and the bright green on them reminds me of my cool old LA Gear. They totally make me feel like a kid again.
