London 3

Mom, Dad and Lauren







Old city wall which dates back to the Roman Empire.

A Bobby! How cool is that?

Big Ben, which was renamed to Elizabeth Tower last year in honor of the Queen's reign.



Jackson, Jessica, and Nate in front of Westminster Abbey.



Jackson. This adorable kid slept in his stroller like a champ despite the excessive temperatures and craziness around him.

Grammy & Jackson.

The crew on the River cruise over the Thames.

London Bridge. The original London bridge is in the U.S.--Lake Havasu.

Tower of London, which was at one time a Palace, Jail and now displays the Crown Jewels--all the crowns/septers from previous kings/queens.



Luke and Mya at Wagamama. I didn't find much food that I loved in London, but Wagamama was the best. I enjoyed the Chicken Pad Thai. Mya enjoyed a buffet. Luckily, she has cousins who are sweet enough to accommodate her  begging ways ;)

This is what I get from Mya when I tell her to smile. Oh this kid!

Jess, Nate and Jackson.





Chris and Claire.
Mya and Olivia.


Chillin' in the Tower of London.




This is where the Crown Jewels are kept. It was about a 45 minute wait to get inside.





Phil, Lisa, Olivia, Luke and Ava.

Jessica, Nate and Jackson.

Great photos! I've barely touched my camera this summer, and the blog is suffering the consequences. Hope all is well as you all adjust back to the school year! Love and miss you guys!

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...

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 ...
