I updated my blog tonight...freshened up the look a little and changed the picture to a photo of my two little munchkins!
Yikes....calendar is full for the next month straight...we have an anniversary party for Tom's aunt and uncle, a wedding, 2 Tigers games, and a camping trip! So although it will be busy, it will be fun!
The kids are doing well and staying healthy. Blake will be starting pre-school in a couple of weeks. Cora is talking more and more everyday. Her latest gesture is folding her arms across her chest when she gets mad. She's just too cute!
Tom and I are getting our metabolism tested tomorrow. Should be very interesting to see how many calories we burn at rest so that we have an idea of how many calories we should be eating per day in order to lose weight.
That's all for now. I'm going to make a conscious effort to try and update this blog a lot more often than I have been. I've got to get caught up on my scrapbooking and I know that I'm going to heavily rely on this blog for my "journaling"!!

Where is summer going?
I guess I'm falling behind again, but summer is always so busy!
Blake turned 4 a couple weeks ago, it's so hard to believe! We celebrated his birthday up at Caseville when we were camping at Sleeper State Park.
Cora is talking like crazy...her and Blake are also known as "Pete and Repeat"! She repeats everything he says and mimics his behavior as well. She really is talking more and does use some short sentences. We can usually figure out what she is saying...but not always.
I ran my second 5K in Deckerville on August 6th. My time was 32:53. I was super happy with that! I'm signed up for another on 9/17/11...so hopefully I can beat my time again!

My first 5K
I ran my first 5K today in Ubly! I completed it in 35:26, not too bad for my first one. It was fun and I'm looking forward to the next one! Maybe Tom and I will run the Deckerville one....we will see!

July 2011
So we were at the camper last weekend and I had just fixed Blake and Cora a fabulous macaroni & cheese and hotdog dinner. They were sitting across from each other at the table in the camper and were about half way done with their dinner, when I hear Blake say, "Cora!! Are we FORGETTING something???" Instantly they both fold their hands and Blake says the dinner prayer. They both finish with a loud "Amen!" They had no idea that we were watching but it was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. They make me a proud momma!
A proud momma..until this past weekend at the camper. Blake had just finished eating a hot dog for lunch (I swear, I do cook things besides hot dogs for them!). Blake runs to the bathroom, announcing that he "has to poop!". A few minutes later, we hear "Hey guys! You gotta come see this!! It's like a hotdog poop! It looks just like a hotdog!!" Yes, a proud momma am I. =-)

The sayings of Blake...
I had just finished cutting some homemade bread (ok...freezer bread that I baked)....I set the knife down. Blake walks in a little later and says, "Momma, you shouldn't leave that knife sitting there, because me or Cora might get it."
Last night we were at a party at Mike Keinath's for dinner. We are all out in the garage, getting ready to eat. Blake is sitting at the table, waiting for Tom to bring his plate of food to him. Tom is in line, waiting for the people in front of him...all of a sudden you hear Blake yell from across the room..."Hey Dad..where's my food? Why are you just standing around? Get my food!"
Today after I was telling him to hurry up and get in the car, he turns and says, "I am! Man alive!"
I may have put this one in a previous blog...but his other favorite line lately is (after he gets in trouble), "Geez mom..you don't have to be so mad about it."
Cora has really picked up on the talking! She will repeat almost anything. She still won't say Da-da....so she now calls him Papa instead! :-)

6/4/11
Well, today is the 5th straight day that Blake has been running a fever. The only other symptom he's had since the start is a runny nose...and I mean RUNNY! I just hope he gets better soon. He's gone to the doc twice and they think it's just a viral thing that should work itself out of his system. He has shown some improvement, but when that fever spikes, he is just miserable. :-(
We had our first camping trip last weekend out at Forester park. We decided to leave the camper there through the 4th of July. We had a nice time out there and are looking forward to going back. We were going to go this weekend but of course are home with a sick little boy.
Blake's latest quote...when Cora is getting his way when he's trying to play, he will holler to me, "momma....please come get your child." He is dead serious when he says it. It cracks me up! His other latest...when he does something or says something that he's not supposed to, I won't even yell at him, maybe just give him a dirty look, or just ignore him, and he will say, "Momma..you don't have to get so mad about it." or "Momma....you don't have to be so mad at me."
