6 AM WORKOUTS- Are you kidding me?

This is a picture snapped of me today at the gym at 6 am...Just kidding about the picture, but not about the 6 am part. Yes, for 2 weeks now, I have bee going strong at working out in the mornings at the Student gym on campus with my super duper cheap spouse pass with some ladies in my ward. Kill me now! the 6 am is horrible, but not that I wasn't up at that time with Thomas anyways, I just didn't have to be human and in clothing other than my underwear. Thanks to rob helping me with my goal, he now gets up with Thomas so I can make it to the gym...What a sweetie...so he is going to school ( his LAST semester), work, and getting up with the baby....I did pick the best guy ever! I do fee like this lady in the picture though. All my work out clothes...Don't fit anymore. I refuse to by clothes to sweat in and to look cute in at 6 am. At 6 am the only people in the gym are marathon trainers, gross 18 year old scoping out chicks, and the ROTC running. No one to impress really. I do get stares, probably cause I am sweating more than the average person there. Or the fact that they can see how many layers I have under my shirt... I do think it is sad that I am having to wear 3 sports bras. Damn these DD's.

So much for Child Proofing

We got a new entertainment center recentley. We knew that Thomas would want to play with the stuff inside, so we purposly bought one with doors to keep him out. Within the first few weeks, we learned to go to one side and slam the glass door to the other side and laugh. He does this over and over. So we decided to be smarter than him, and get a peice of wood and place it in the door track to prevent it from moving. At 6 am the next morning, he went over to the entertainment center as usual, ready to slam, saw the new child proofing device, stuck his finger under it and popped it out, and continued to slam the door. To taunt us more, he began to swing it around like at batton as to say, "Is that all you got"?
So much for Child proofing with this kid.

Happy New Year

Our New year was rather quiet...but we made sure Thomas got to celebrate his First New years...before 8 pm.

We hope you all had a Wonderful New year...and we wish you a Wonderful 2009! Good luck on your Resolutions...Rob and I discussed ours last night. Mine is the same as usual...lose weight. But i want to loose At least 40 lbs...so I am some what recognizable to what I used to be. I will do this with the help of Weight Watchers! Rob wants to run at least a half marathon...I said I will be there to support him on the sidelines~ I don't run. It just isn't in the Willardson genes. I did Thomas' goals for him: Be cute, and learn to walk, and say, "I love you Mommy". Simple enough.

Thomas' First Christmas

All I want for Christmas is ....Paper. That's all he really cared about. So much for spending money on "educational" toys.

We had a Great time in Northern California at my parents home...A different party each night...The Nutcracker, plays, concerts and shopping in San Fransisco. The flu did hit us all, but didn't damper the fun. We hope you all had a Wonderful Christmas!!

Reindeer and Teeth...

Well, this week we found Thomas' FIRST tooth. I kept trying to fish out a cracker when I realized it was a tooth. So, like any good mother, I forced my way into his mouth screaming to take a photo of it.

He also had his first touch of snow..I took pictures like crazy...only to realized I had the lense on... way to go Kate.

We went to Thanksgiving Point Festival of Lights and drove through with our good friends the Larsen's. Though much of the time was Julie and I trying to figure out which one of our kids smelled like vomit? Tommy saw his first Reindeer, and could have cared less, with his bottom lip shivering.

Tommy and I leave to go home to my parents house for Christmas on Monday, and Rob will follow on Friday after his finals. Cant wait to be at home and see Grandmas house all done up!!

Stoker Thanksgiving & 5 Year Anniversary!

Happy Thanksgiving to All. Hope you all stuffed yourselves! We spend Thanksgiving with the Stokers each year...this year we actually decided to do some documentation of how many of us there are...Rob's parents in the middle, and all the siblings on chairs with their spouse behind them...the rest are yes...Just all their kids. Always a full house! But tons of fun.

Rob and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary on November 29...5 years...it seems longer, not in a bad way though. Just cant remember a time when my life didn't have Robbie in it. I would like to forget those few years when he was in Iraq and all...but that is what makes us so freaking amazing! That's right baby...we rock! We did it, 5 years...many more to come! Hopefully with many more laughs and smiles than anything else.

Just think 5 years ago, we knew what it was like to sleep in on Saturdays...

Our Little Air freshener

So, we had some pictures taken of Thomas the other day, and we wanted to get one of his Halloween costume! We don't do the usual costumes at the Stoker home...It was this or a whoopee cushion. he also would have made a good Michilin Tire man with those arms...Go Tommy! I would so hang him in my car...wouldn't you? But I cant promise anything... smells may be a bit different than the real thing.
