Bowling FUN

We had a great weekend. The kind of weekend where we had few plans and a lot of enjoyable family time. The kind of weekend that you hate to see go!
Forgive the poor picture quality. I only had my ipad with me....
Drew and Claire

Claire and Mya--she started out using the ramp, but after a few tosses she was throwing the ball down the lane by herself.




Makenna.

These two girls shared a lane and took turns so well! I was very proud of Mya.

I think she is pretty proud of herself too! She LOVED bowling.

Not a good pic of Makenna. Mya wanted to hurry up and get down to business, so I didn't have a chance for a retake ;)
Mya has a great little friend at school. She and Makenna are joined at the hip. Lately when I've picked Mya up, Makenna runs over to me and says, "Mya come to my house." Well, Stacey (Makenna's Momma) and I arranged a little play date, which worked out wonderfully. We opted to meet at the bowling alley for a little playtime fun. Makenna has a 5 year old brother who proclaimed that he and Claire were on a date. Ha! The date lasted nearly 4 hours! Time truly flew by us. It was great having some adult conversation while our kiddos basked in the joy of goofiness.

The Morris' are heading to Langley next, which is a top runner on our list. It would be wonderful if our paths crossed again. They are such good people.

Looks like fun! Coincidentally, we also went bowling this weekend for Rory's birthday, and I just bought that same outfit for Abby at Kohl's, yesterday! It's as if we share a brain, I tell ya ;P The girls look so happy, and are getting so big! Anxious to hear your orders, I hope it's somewhere you love!

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...
