The Roths!: Hello Monday!

Well the weekend went by quick, as always. John's dad came down for a visit, he couldn't believe how much Trent has grown. We went to see the Cherry Blossoms on Saturday and had a great time. I'm glad we went but the mass of humanity was ridiculous! Having the stroller didn't help, specially having to take the elevator at the metro stops and the escalator at one of the stops becuase the elevator was out. John's dad was so nice to help and carry the stroller up the escalator as John carried Trent up in his carrier. Once we got to Smithsonian metro stop, it was not so bad. We just made our way down to the Tidal Basin to see the Cherry Blossoms. My sister came down and met us up. After about an hour or so, when we were done, we headed back up and got some lunch. It was such a beautiful, relaxing day.

You can't see the entire onsie in this picture, but it says: "Grandpa's little fishing buddy". My sister in-law, Jennifer made it. Trent wore it to the Cherry Blossom Festival for his grandpa & he got a kick out of it. Thanks Jennifer. :) She makes the cutest stuff, her website is: http://theboutiquemommy.com. Although she's been making mostly girl stuff, recently she started making some boys stuff too! lol That makes me so happy!

Chillin in his Bjorn!

Tonight, I got home earlier than usual around 6:20ish, so I hung out with Trent a little longer before we put him down for his nap. Then I took Mango out for a run, in an effort to get in shape. It's been A WHILE since I've worked out and there's no more excuses! It's not so much losing 'weight', cuz according to the scale, I'm only 6 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight but somehow I don't fit into ANY of my pre-pregnancy clothes and my pregnancy clothes are too big. It's kind of frustrating, so a couple weeks ago, my sister and I went shopping and I bought some new clothes, specially for work. But buying new clothes is not the solution, so I'm starting my workout challenge today. My goal is to fit into my size 4 clothes by my b-day, May 18th. Today marks the start of my commitment to a healthier lifestyle & more fit body.

My inspiration: to look and feel cute again in a bikini :)
