No camera!!! :(

So sorry my posts have been picture less but my camera has officially gone to the grave!!! I am so sad not to have a camera. There have been so many times when I run to get my camera to take a great picture to blog about and I then remember I don't have a camera. :( It is very, very sad not to have a camera!! I am hoping to be able to buy a new one at Costco in the next few weeks. I'm pretty sure Billy is sick of hearing me say, "Oh I wish I could take a picture of that!". Like today Kylee was walking around wearing my shoes and it was so cute. So of course I wanted to take a picture but couldn't. Next time right? Anyways keep your fingers crossed for a new camera soon!! Also just in case my husband reads this post, Honey this is a cute camera from Costco if you need any ideas :) It is $129.00 on sale right now!! 10.0 MP w/ zoom stabilizer (hint, hint)

My hike with Krista!

So I went over to my mom's house to go walking with my girls. Krista was getting ready to go hiking and she invited my to go with her. I asked if I would be able to take the stroller, she said no. In my head I must admit I was a tiny bit relieved. :) Then my amazing mother said "Oh I can watch them for you." Oh that would be great mom. :) So off Krista and I went to Thunderbird park off of 59th Ave and Happy Valley. Krista was so helpful. She encouraged me to go and was my motivator all the way! Thank you Krista for helping me to accomplish something that meant a lot to me. I DID it! I survived and look forward to the next time! I can't believe I just said that! hee, hee By the way the reason I have no pictures of anything for the past few posts is because my camera has officially died! So I am saving up and hope we can get a new camera soon :)

Tara is better than me :(


Okay so I have to give credit where credit is due. Apparently my sister Tara was a professional hula hooper in a previous life and didn't bother to tell anyone!! So I got to my mom's to defend my title as hula hoop champion and it was NOT possible! Tara has amazingly fast hips!! So congrats Tara, I guess I will find something else I can beat you at :) Please let there be at least ONE thing I can beat you at!!!!

Going to exercise!!

I was going to put a post up but then Tara made a comment that I needed to go check out the new top score of the hula hoop game on the wii fit! Then she did the evil laugh... mmm hahahaha! So I am getting dressed now hoping to defend my title as hula hoop champion!!! Results to come, maybe :)

Still sore!!!

So I am still sore from doing my hula hoop exercising on the Wii Fit on Saturday! I love that I feel like I got such a great workout and had fun doing it! Tara and I didn't get to compete against each other yesterday but we will do it soon I am sure! I look forward to beating Tara over and over! I just want to add that I love my family very much. My husband and my girls bring me so much happiness. I am so blessed to have amazing parents and incredible sisters. I am so glad that my sisters have amazing spouses to add to this great family. I am also grateful for my cute grandma! I thought you would all enjoy this picture of adorable sister Krista and great Grandma!!

I LOVE Wii Fit!!!

So today I tried a new exercise on the Wii fit, hula hoop! It is a lot harder than you think. I was sweating like crazy, of course I did it for 45 minutes. So I am grateful to my sister Tara! She had done the hula hoop and had a good score but I was DETERMINED to beat her score no matter how long it took me! No I'm NOT competitive (hee, hee). So after a few tries (meaning like 6 or so tries I beat her score by more that 26 turns! I was SO excited! I have all top ten scores except for Tara still has 4th place! So Tara the challenge is on!!! Beat my 255!! Anybody who would like to have a fun challenge on the Wii fit board, give me a comment! Maybe we will do that for a girls night :) What you think ladies???

Thank you Fit-Club!?!?

So I am so sore today!!! Yesterday I went to aerobics. My sister Tara teaches aerobics on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Anyways, I was doing ab exercises that Tara had told us to do. I did them full out! So my abs and sides are really sore. Then after aerobics I was having a massage done. Most would be like "oh that probably felt great!". Yes, for the most part. Except I could barely move by the afternoon. She went pretty deep so my muscles hurt so bad that it hurt to even touch my skin!!!! So I finally took Ibuprofen and iced my back. Then finally at 11pm I was able to relax enough to go to sleep. Then this morning at 6 am Kylee woke up to eat and I was cramping sooooooo bad from "Mr. Happy" as Tausha would say! :) So needless to say, I am pretty sure that every muscle in my body is inflammed and cramping! So special thanks to Tara for the pain in my sides and abs, another thanks to Lynda for the pain in my shoulder and back. Then another thanks to "Mr. Happy" for reminding me that I am DEFINITELY a women! :) Not that I even doubted being a women but you know what I mean and if you don't know what I mean then to bad. :) hee, hee
