dad's girl.

i saw this quote online the other day.

and i don't think it could be more true for me.

when your dad walks in the room, your eyes light up.

when you are sitting in his lap, you just look up and stare at him.

 

he makes you bottles. and moves you from the piano to the bouncer to the couch when you are done with the former.

he walks you around and around the house when you are restless.

 

y'all are the best of friends.

it's too sweet.

 

i love you and your dad, sweet girl.

one year.

fresh meat, week 3.

sunday was my third week of fresh meat boot camp.
and the hardest.

i thought to myself at least a thousand times, i cannot take one more step.
i cannot stand up one more minute.

the derby stance is like doing a wall sit... for an hour and a half.
eventually my thighs were like jello.
it was hard for me to stay upright, much less in derby stance.

and my lower back. using muscles that haven't been used in years.
i guess trying to balance yourself on 4 wheels will do that.

but it was also one of the most fun.
while the main group was reviewing for the MSRs, we got a crash course in all the stuff they were doing.

like a knee fall. and a 180 knee fall. and a rockstar fall.
we skated the 25 laps in 5 minutes. (i got 18.. so. hard. with jello legs)
i've made some friends, got out of my comfort zone & tried something new.
the veterans are so helpful and friendly.
i think this can be my thing. ;)

 

 

family.

Saturday was kap's last basketball game of the season, so we filled up her cheering section!

and she played so hard too.  I can't wait to see how she improves as she gets older.

 

 

 

 Kap & her Gigi

 

 these two are going to be trouble next year when they can walk:)

 

 

I love any excuse to get together with my family!

Especially a chance to show Kap how much we love her, since she can feel a little left out with the two littles.

-I love walking around with you on my hip, and your heads peeks over my shoulder. And I put your other arm around my neck like you are hugging me. Sweet, cuddly girl.

 

-A couple of wekends ago, we cleaned out your closet and bins and put away all of the 0-3 month clothing that was left. The 3-6 month outfits were moved to the top of the closet and the 6-9 was taken out of the tubs and put on the bottom tier of the closet. It was sad, yet exciting.
