New Pitcures of the Kids

Well Tim and I didn't do a whole lot this weekend witch is really my fault I just have felt like crap all weekend. I really only left the house once this weekend. But we did take some pictures of Bristol and Tina so I thought I would share them with everyone.







This is Tina enjoying the sun on your back deck.







Tim and Bristol strike a pose.







Tina is ready for her close-up.









Here is Bristol with his close-up.








Tina is letting the neighbors know that there is no walking in front of our yard.







Some one is ready for their nap.








There is nothing like a good bone to help pass the day.








I think this is Bristol waking up from his nap.





Here are some of the interesting ways Tina likes to sleep in her bed.














I hope you have enjoyed this brief look into the lives of our very busy kids lol.

The irony is not lost on me that this post comes after one about my love for purely unnatural candy. But I am starting to realize that the cruise I am taking is only 15 months away (insert panic attack here).
So here is what I have been thinking about for a while....are you ready? Biggest Loser Fredericksburg! This idea was inspired by not only my desire to lose weight but that of my friends as well. I have been especially inspired by my friend Jonathan. His will power astounds me and I wish I were more like that but I need support, a challenge, a wager.
I want to know who amongst you would like to join me in a Biggest Loser challenge. A support group of sorts that would help us stay on track, not through guilt but positive encouragement. I know that everyone is pretty busy so I am not suggesting that we have weekly meetings ( although that would be awesome) but to just kind of be there for each other through the tough times like holidays, Super Bowl and night time. We could make friendly wagers and have special prizes for weekly, biweekly or monthly winners ( or should I say losers). This is not a club where everyone has to be on the same diet plan but we could share things that work for us and give suggestions.
Elisa thinks that she can beat all of us because she loves a competition. I say bring it on!!
WHO'S WITH ME!!??!?!


This post was on Olivia's blog and I just wanted to post it on mine because I want in on the competition. So who out there is with me???? You don't have to be a bloger or anything (for my friends that don't blog). I think it will be fun and I am looking forward to this journey and it's out come.

Fat Lip

OK so we all know that Tim and I are not the most coordinated people. Last night Tim and I went to the the gym to take a Cardioboxing class. Well we got there about 30 minutes early so we decided that we would do some abs work. So here we are both laying on the floor in the sit up position facing each other. Our feet are touching, and one person has a medicine ball and as they sit up they they through it to the other person as they are going down into there sit up ( I hope this makes since). Well I stopped for a moment to tell Tim something and he didn't realize I had stopped so I got a 6 lb ball thrown at me face haha..... yeah it gave me a bloody lip. Poor Tim felt really bad but wanted to laugh at the same time. I really couldn't be mad at him because it was my fault I didn't tell him to wait. I wonder if anyone at the gym saw that, I am sure they would have laughed so hard I would have noticed.







Here is a good picture of what we were doing.





Here is the item what Tim used to give me a fat lip haha




Now on to the Cardioboxing class, if you ever want to know how dump you can possible look just go to one of these classes. I was not smart I set up all of my stuff right next to a full wall of mirrors. The whole time I was looking at myself looking like a crazy woman beating up the air. The Cardio teacher looked so cool when she did all the moves but me not so much. But on the bright side I think Tim might have looked sillier then I did (sorry Tim for calling you out...Love ya mean it) and we did burn over 500 calories. I think Tim and I will go back and I am sure every time it will get better.

Nothing much

I feel like I haven't really had to much to blog about lately and I have been pretty busy. Most days I leave the house around 550 am and don't get home until about 7. Tim and I have really been working hard on going to the gym. I weighed me self again the other day and I was up 2 more lbs???? I have no idea what is going on with my body, but it sure is frustrating. I hate having to watch what I eat but I guess I am going to have to really crack down. Man I would love to be rich and just get all of the fat sucked out of my body haha. I know some people are against plastic surgery but I am not. I am all for it. If or when I am done having kids I am so going to be my boobs lifted. I just hate feeling like I don't have anything to wear and everything I do wear is to tight. I need help.....HELP haha. I guess maybe I am just having another bad day. I think I need new gym cloths that would make me feel good. And I will want to wear them so I will want to go to the gym... That sounds like a good plan. Oh and my gym has a cafe and after Tim and I work out we get a healthy smoothies and when we went on Tuesday we got the Banana Nut one and it was great. If anyone is thinking about joining a gym I would recommend mine, American Family Fitness off of exit 126. Tim and I love it. They have all kinds of classes and it is great if you have kids they have there own kid zone. Anyway I am looking forward to the weekend.

Wonderful Weekend

Well I had a great weekend,


Friday night Shannon my sister-in-law and I went out to eat and then we watched a movie and called it a night. I love having relaxing nights like that.

Saturday I got up early, I had to pick Tim up at the airport around 10:30 but I didn't get there until almost 11 because of traffic. Then we went and had lunch at this place called Nacho Mama's. I love that place. They we invited ours self's down to Reedville to hang out with Shannon M. and her parents. They are really a lot of fun and I think my Tim has wants to be just like Shannon's dad Tim when he grows up. They have a great house with a pond in the back yard. They even have big turtles that hang out and you can feed them crackers. They had a cook out with lots of food (something I love). Also it was nice to spend some time with Shannon and baby Kendall, she is learning something new everyday. We really enjoyed our time down there.





Not a great picture of Kendall but still cute


Sunday we didn't get up until about 8:30 or so and that is sleeping in for us. Shannon, Kendall, Judy (Shannon's Mom), Tim and I all went out for breakfast and just enjoyed the morning. Then Tim and I had to leave. We had a great ride home the weather was amazing. I had me feet hanging out the window the whole time.

Sunday afternoon we had the Monteiro's Chili Cook Off to go to. I have been friends with them since I was in high school. They are always a lot of fun. Tim, Shannon H. and my self met my grandparents there. Jon made some awesome chili and there again was all kinds of food. Tim and Jon where in a horse show tournament. Tim did make it to the second round and played very well. Over all it was a great cook off. Mark and Barbra (the Monteiro's) have a beautiful yard with lots of shade and green grass. Again the weather was perfect.

Just happy to be there





Smile Tim : )


Monday Tim did lots a cleaning and we when through all of our cloths to try and free up some well needed space in our dresser. After a morning of cleaning we headed out to the lake and spent about an hour floating on a raft, there were a lot of kids in the water so we moved to the pool where we spent another couple of hours just soaking up the sun.

I would say this 3 day weekend was one of the best every. I hope that everyone else had a good weekend.
