The Bare Family

This morning Zane and I got up at 8... ate breakfast... and got ready to head to the YMCA in Hilliard to go play in the splash park. We ended up getting there around 10:30 and met up with Brittany and Cole who were already swimming in the pool. So after putting little man's swimmy on we jumped in too. After a little bit we decided to head to the splash park. We found this little spout of water that Zane played with. He seemed to really enjoy it so we'll most def try to squeeze this into our weekly activities. I had my camera with me but we too busy with Zane to actually snap pictures... so here are some that I stole from Brittany that she took... We left about 11:30 and headed home... little man was out by the time we hit the dirt road. lol.. usually when the car stops and he realizes he's getting out he's already trying to help you get him out of his car seat.. not today.. not one movement, lol, poor little guy was exhausted! He actually slept till 2:30 this af...

So not too long after my post... I was off to feed Zane.. little did I know that when I had a spoon full of squash headed for my son's mouth that the power would go out and it would be pitch black in my house!! lol! very very interesting! so after opening the curtains so that I could some what see and putting some little snacks on Zane's tray so that he didn't have a nervous break down about not being fed... I went searching for the flashlight that my husband seems to have used but didn't put back.. then I remembered I had candles in the bathroom and I luckily remembered where I put the matches. So after lighting the candles.. I finally sat down to feed Zane. lol.. I also snapped a few pics and took a couple videos on my phone out of boredom. Once Dean got home he was going to the back to change while I changed Zane's diaper so that we could go out to eat... when the power magically came back on... now usually when our power goes out.. it's out for a min of ...

So much that I can't seem to keep up my blog!! lol! Things are totally awesome right now! So I'm going to do a quick update (picture less I might add) and try to stay up to date from here on out (fingers crossed!) lol! Sunday - June 21 Happy Father's Day!!! We started out this morning by going to church. Dean got his father's day cards on the way there... because.. well... we were running a tad bit late as usual! After church we headed to Micheal's for lunch with Mrs Bennett. Once we got home... Cody had called Dean about going out on the boat... and well it being Father's Day I told him to go enjoy himself. Once Dean got home we headed to Yulee to go to Target to finish gathering stuff for our new bathroom.... Then off for dinner at Chili's. And the biggest news for Father's Day?!?!?! Zane started crawling!!! I've got some video on my phone... just can't figure out how to get it to my computer so that I can post it, lol! As soon as I ...

So this morning we decided to get up early and head to town for some errands. We hit up the post office, the bank and all wet sports. We actually had some fun running errands this morning.. and Zane was in a very good mood. We headed to Olive Garden for lunch and I hit up Micheals for more stuff for Zane's eggs.... I've got to make them start to look like animals... not eggs with eyes.. lol, it's a tad bit freaky! Anyways.. once we finished that up we headed home and ended up taking naps :) We got ready again and headed back into town around 5:30... Made a quick stop by Dean's mom's and left Zane with his Granny and Aunt Kim while Dean and I headed off to get PEDICURES!!! Our feet were seriously thanking us when we left! We then stopped and grabbed something quick at Taco Bell and made our way over to Home Depot to get everything to completely re-model our bathroom.... we figure we've got 2-3 years before we purchase a new home so we decided to re-do the ...

So tonight we went out to dinner with some of our friends... Jamie, Buster and their daughter Hannah... sorry no pics... got to get a pocket camera here soon.. I can't tote this big one everywhere, lol! Anyways.. we went to the Longhorn out by the airport and while mine and Jamie's steaks were great... the guys didn't that good of luck, lol! After spending about an hour and a half talking and eating (and Dean dodging flying forks, lol) we headed home. It was nice to get out with friends. Here are some pics I snapped before we left while little man was taking his bath... can you believe that he's 7 months today!!

not too much has been going on... as you can see since I have been absent from the blogging world.. but it looks as though things are going to pick back up... and I must say that I'm ready. Seems like the past couple of weeks have been a bit rough and slow on top of that. I've been planning a little more on Zane's 1st birthday... and yes, it's still 5 months away. I've got the cake covered... games covered (well the ideas.. still got to go and by the stuff for them).. I've actually started on one of the games... it's basically an easter egg hunt... but instead of just ordinary eggs.. we have animals eggs! Well.. at least that's what I'm hoping they will look like when they're done.. just started actually making them tonight.. and well.. the cow just looks sad! lol, I'm hoping he looks more cow like once I add ears. For now they just look like creepy little eggs with eyes! lol! I also decided to mow the grass for dad tonight once Dean got...

Full Warning... lol, I'm venting over being fat!! I'm totally over being overweight!! Granted.. I'm the same weight after pregnancy as before, but I don't see how! I feel sooo much bigger!! I think things must have just shifted on me.. that's all I can come up with! I was told before I got pregnant that I need to lose at least 20 pounds to get me out of the overweight bracket... well I'm setting a goal of 50 pounds! I'm not setting a date... just a goal.. and I WILL get there! I keep hearing people tell me that it's ok because I just had a baby... YEAH... 7 MONTHS AGO!! Really?!?! That excuse just doesn't apply any longer... I will no longer feed myself that lie! Not to mention I really never was able to use that excuse anyways... I only gained a whopping 14 pounds! This coming after a totally mental breakdown Sat night after trying to figure out what I was going to wear to church. All these dresses fit before I got pregnant! and how is it t...

lol.. so we had the BRIGHT idea this afternoon to go to the zoo (it actually looked pretty) and well... what was the end result... SOAKING WET!!! we got caught in a down pour, lol! Zane thought is was hilarious.. notice he is the only one dry... and this is his WILD hair when we got home, lol! OH... and this one is from last night... Bailey had doggy ice cream treats that we give her from time to time (she doesn't eat the whole thing at one time)... anyways... Dean put it down for her and put her toy next to it to make it look like it was eating it to make her want it more, lol! When I first walked in I wondered if she had put it there (she does things like that) and then Dean told me the story behind it... Thought it was pretty funny though :)

2 weeks behind AGAIN! So here's my extra long post as to what has been going on in our world... and there are so many pictures that I'm not even going to bother... it would take me another 2 weeks to load them all! lol! we'll start with Memorial Weekend... So we usually go down to the lake for Memorial weekend but decided to head to Tampa to spend the weekend with friends. (5/23) We left Sat late morning and got there that afternoon... and when we got there we headed straight for the lake! That night The Pedersen's fixed Steak and Potatoes for dinner... it was mmm mmm good!! (5/24) Sun morning Brett made us the most delicious chocolate chip pancakes! Then Dean and Morgan played on the trampoline for a little bit before we headed off to the lake again. That afternoon we decided to hit up the cable park. Our short drive there however turned into a 2 hours stand still because of an accident on the highway... they drive backwards down their on ramps down there! lol! ...
