All about me and maybe a little of the kids:-)

So as most of you know I've been starting a new path to become a fitness instructor. I'm currently just volunteering and learning from great instructors! I taught my first full 60 minute class today on my own! What an awesome feeling it was! I tend to get myself all worked up and extremly nervous when I have to do something! I sometimes lack self confidence. I feel like I've buried it and it needs to be set free! I feel the need to be perfect and do perfect(my inner Virgo coming out) but come on who is perfect!?!? We are all human and make mistakes! Today really gave me that boost of confidence. Having people believe in me was such a huge gratification! I owe a lot of thanks to my friend Jen! I think if it were up to us we'd just live at the YMCA! Between working out and classes for our kids we live there!
Everyone in class was amazing too! I think they enjoyed it and I know I still broke a sweat(not sure if it was workout induced :-) ) I walked out of class on cloud 9! I went to get the kiddos out of child care and if possible was sent over cloud 9 when I saw Claudia running to me and in the sweetest voice say hello mommy! Nothing in the world can bring me more joy than my children! And of course Rex just melts my heart everytime I see him! He's the 2nd man to steal my heart!

We headed home to have lunch and then went down for nap time. I wanted to finish decorating for Halloween and then do some much needed cleaning! Shocker I didn't get to it! The decorations were almost done when Rex starts screaming(which doesn't happen often) so I cleaned my mess up and went to check on him. I picked him up and decided to cuddle him for a few minutes. Those minutes turned into hours, I spent almost 2 hours in the rocking chair with him. I don't do this enough with him so I embraced the moment! I am such a lucky mom! So today was an awesome day!

the decorating...

and what was more fun!!!

Family photos

I'm obsessed with getting photos done! Rex had his 6month pictures and then we wanted to get family photos as well! Of course Rex was chill and did great! For one photo I put him in suspenders and a newspaper boy hat! Let me just say it was adorable!! I can't wait to see how they turned out!! He didn't even touch the hat! He is so unlike his sister!

Trying to get Claudia to cooperate was interesting! For a 2 year old I think she did a great job! My favorite moment was when Rex was getting photos in the prop bath and Claudia started to get undressed and wanted in the bath with him! It was adorable! I love watching Rex watch Claudia and study her every move!

Claudia did not like Alicen(photographer) talking to her at all. She'd scream and get very mad. At one point she put her finger up to her and told her "shhh"! How embarrassing! Which she tells me to do when I'm singing,which I totally understand! Lol!

We might have Elmo in a few photos but I'm to the point of oh well as long as we are all together. I think Nate is impressed on my nerves! Usually I'm going crazy but I think I'm becoming more relaxed and realizing what will be will be! Something's I just can't control:-).

We did bribe Claudia with ice cream! So after photos we had a nice lunch date at Red Robin. Again Rex was awesome! We can take him anywhere! He sat in the car seat without a peep! And Claudia didn't even eat a lot of the ice cream we ordered! I know Nate and I devoured the chocolate chip cookie! It was actually a pleasant lunch date with the kids!

It was a great family morning! I wish we could have more days like this! In Claudia's words "I so happy"!
