Sleeping Arrangements...

...not exactly ideal lately and making me TIRED!! When my alarm went off this morning...BOTH kids were in my room...Lexi in the bed and Jacob on the floor. Deeep sigh...making it virtually impossible to sneak out for my workout....but I still did...pat on the back! Today and yesterday both kids woke up while I was still at the gym...poor Heath. :( My sweet husband has been so supportive of my new diet and exercise plans...he's so amazing. :)

Summer Fun!

This is my cute boy Jacob after his first day at Summer Camp Preschool. He looooves it. He's holding a rocket ship that he will proudly tell you he made all by himself! :) He loves having something to do everyday and Lexi is loooving the time we get to spend together just us girls. We like to do crazy activities like this...

Making silly faces....the camera couldn't really keep up with her...but I still think it's totally Her! She's so silly!

Eat.Pray.Love.

Just finished reading this Book....Eat, Pray, Love. by Elizabeth Gilbert (picture above...isn't she so cute :) I saw Julia Roberts on Oprah talking about the movie coming soon and I was excited to run out and get it. My review...Cute book. Hilarious. She travels to Italy (um...hello...my dream... right after I spend a year in Spain), India (interesting), and Bali (um...not on my list but she makes it sound so cool!).

Easy to read but at the same time a Deeep Book...a few times I had to put down for a bit to have my brain catch up....lots of yoga and meditation stuff...funny funny. She hits rock bottom in the book and tells about her journey to pick herself up again...resulting of course in true love. Awe. Google it for reviews and I think you'll love it.

A few pages towards the end of the book...warning...are a little racy for me (1-10 I'd say a 4 or 5)...but overall I would recommend it to all my friends. :) Grab it. Its totally cute!

Bree Tanner

Yes. I like Twilight. I read the Bree Tanner story and loved it. :) All you twilight lovers should check it out...if you already haven't! Add it to your collection. Its 178 page hardback.

On the lookout for more books to read.

Any suggestions?

4th Activities!

So, yesterday was fun fun! We had church in the AM and then a fun family lunch afterwards. We had Italian Turkey Burgers (with yummy seasonings, basil instead of lettuce, and tomatoes...mmm). Our red, white, and blue Jello (of course!!), and Bratwurst to make it a little more traditional. I forgot to cook the corn on the cob...shoot. The salad I made was OK...not my favorite. I like holiday meals that don't leave me so full (usually of junk) that I need a nap immediately afterwards...this one did pretty good.

It rained for most of the afternoon so we were a little wary about going out for fireworks...but we did! Crazy crazy. It was pouring rain while we were loading our car to leave and laughing about it all the way!~ The rain let up a little during the fireworks show and then fiercely poured during the finally and the short walk to the car. We met up with some friends there and enjoyed their company (but I was really missing my family...I love 4th of July with the Moss Family...so many memories!)Last year in Arizona it was 110 degrees during the fireworks...this year in Colorado it was in the 50's. Gotta love this mountainous weather.

thats all for now folks.
