Danita

My friend Danita is pregnant.  I threw her a shower.  It was fun!  I made some fun decorations for the shower.

 Tissue paper pom poms

 Water Jugs

 A banner made out of paint sample cards from Lowes.

 Flowers for the gift table

I realized after the shower I didn't take any pics of the actual shower, just the crafts I did   :(  I felt bad.  But I did maternity pics for Danita so that makes up for it right?!?!

If you'd like to see all the pictures I took of her and her family go here

First Fruits

We have harvested the first fruits from our garden.  We've have a few tomatoes ripen.  They are delicious!  You forget what tomatoes are supposed to taste like!  Croix is so proud of his fruits!  He loves to pick them (even before they are ripe, shame on him!)

Dance

Croix and I enjoyed a Mommy and Me dance class for the past few months.  Croix loved every minute of it!  Ok maybe not quite every minute, there were a few tears our first few classes.  But then he loved it!
It was just music and movement.  Little songs with moves to go with them.  Activities perfect for a kid his age pretending to be animals, rolling hands, jumping (Croix almost go that one down), catching bugs, ridding horses, ring around the rosie type games.  We ended singing Animal Crackers by Shirley Temple, stirring animal crackers in a bowl and then having a snack.  We loved it.  The instructor is pregnant and so the class is over now.  But if she ever does it again, we'll be there for sure!

 This was Croix's favorite, being a tiger!

Croix and his buddy Lexee, they are out of focus but this is the only one where they are both looking at the camera....sigh.


A big thank you to my friends little brother who was there and took the pics for me.  It worked out well for everyone.  He was not excited to be at a little kid dance class on his spring break, but he was excited to play photographer!  And I got pictures of our little class!

First ER Trip

We had our first ER visit last week.  Thankfully it wasn't for anything major.  Croix had the flu and hadn't been able to keep anything down the entire day, nothing, not a drop of liquid.  He was getting dehydrated and it was night time.  So we went to the ER.  I figured they'd have to give him an IV, turns out they have great anti nausea medication that did the trick.  I was so grateful too!  I was dreading my sweet baby getting an IV!  Poor Croix was so miserable and thirsty and hungry.  He kept saying and signing milk and eat.  When he finally got some juice he instantly fell asleep, at this point it was a good 2 hrs past bedtime on a healthy day.  He was so thirsty though he kept drinking even after he was asleep.  I'd put the straw in the cup, plug it with my finger and put it in his mouth.  He would smile in his sleep, still happy to be getting hydration. 

When we were still in the waiting room, at the counter giving the lady our information a car came screeching to a stop out side the door.  A Mom and Dad got out, both had blood all over them.  The Mom was carrying a blond haired little girl in her arm and was crying.  The Dad was saying over and over, "She got hit by a car we need to see a Dr. now!"  They were quickly escorted back to triage.  As soon as they were back there Croix started to cry a little.  I'm sure that was as scary a sight for him as it was for us.  I instantly said a prayer for that family, that little girl who was no bigger than Croix.  I prayed words of gratitude that we were there for something so minor.  I knew Croix would be fine and we would leave that night.  I never did find out what happened to that little girl but I've said many prayers for them.

Here is the one pic we got on my cell phone.

Graduation Party

The same Saturday as our Warrior Dash we celebrated all of Brent's hard work in school with a little BBQ.  It was small, and quite.  Just a few friends, and family celebrating.  It was perfect.  We had burgers and hot dogs, potato salad, chips, with cake and homemade pistachio ice cream for dessert (the ice cream was heavenly!!).  I had to laugh.  I came home showered. Mixed up a cake.  Iced my knee while the cake was baking.  I'm just going to say it was a definate switching of hats, Terina the Warrior, Terina the Mom, than Terina house wife.

I only took a few pictures.

We are so proud of Brent and all his hard work!  It has been wonderful having him home again in the evenings!  The graduation ceremony is this weekend!  Can't wait to see him in his cap and gown!

We Are Warriors!!

We participated in the warrior Dash a couple of weeks ago.  It was a blast!  We went with our good friends the Gunnells.  Heather was almost 5 months pregnant!  She's a warrior for sure! The Warrior Dash is 3.5 miles and 12 crazy obstacles.  Some of the obstacles were giant hay bales, climbing a cargo giant net, dirt hills, running through tires, going over old cars, rappelling, climbing wall, jumping through flames and crawling through mud under barbed wire!  Yes 3.5 miles is just over a 5K, yes the obstacles were intense, YES we are AWESOME!!!

Here are just a couple of the obstacles

 Cargo Net

 Hay Bales

There were lots of people there in costumes.  We only got pics of a few of them.  There were also Oompa Loompas.  We even heard there was a guy who ran the whole thing in a thong!  Crazy!

 Our Team

Us in our Warrior Hats and our medals.  Heather is 5 mo. pregnant, can you believe that?  She looks amazing!  The race was not as hard as I thought it would be!  It was MUCH easier to do 3.5 miles and 12 obstacles that it is to do 3.5 miles, of the same mile over and over in my neighborhood!  We went slow and steady, took our time, didn't over do it and had fun!  Our heat was the 9 AM heat and we got lapped by some people from the 9:30 heat.  There were some quick people there!  I said they are athletes, we are warriors!  My knee was pretty sore after ward, I kind of have a bum knee.  Brent's legs were pretty beat up by time we were through.  But we did it!  I think we'll do it again next year it was so much fun, only in costumes!

Cheesy

Croix has the cheesiest little face he does.  He does this and growls, which he's been doing a lot lately!

Bra Strap Comfort

Croix keeps doing the funniest thing....when I'm holding him, he gets my bra strap and twists it in his fingers.  Must provide some sort of comfort to him.
