What the heck?!?!?

I just really need to vent now, so you don't have to read, but I have been told it is a healthy thing to get out one's frustrations, so here it goes.

So I have been working out for quite some time now to try and work off this excess blubber put on by my lovely little kidlins (and I'll take just a little responsibilty) putting in about two hours four or five days a week at the gym, and adjusting my diet. So any logical person would say okay you have put in your time, you deserve some weight loss, well..the lovely scale did not have that much mercy, in fact, it said that I have gained 5 POUNDS!!!! I just do not see how that computes in this little brain of mine. I know that muscle weighs more than fat, but I do not think that I have put on 5 pounds in one week of muscle, that is just absurd and unheard of. I don't even think the great Arnold Swarchenegger has set that kind of record. So right now I am just a little depressed and I think I might go eat some ice cream...thanks for letting me vent.

Chatter Box

Domi has become quite the chatter bug, still dont quite know what he says half the time, but hay...its a start. JJ was having fun recording him, then afterwards he said that he wanted it put on the blog. So here you go honey, this is for you. Just so others may know that you contribute to our family blog.

Crazy Binky Boy

He'll be taking these to college and sportin' them on his wedding day

A night with the Cards

Today we got a phone call from a sweet family in our church that offered us four tickets to the cardinals game for tonight. Although late notice, we couldn't pass up the offer. They ended up being dug-out seats!! Plus I don't know how we have lived here in St. Louis for over a year and a half without ever going to a Cardinals game! People out here are big into their baseball and hard-core cardinals fans. Since the kids didn't need tickets, we invited a couple that we are friends with and had a blast. It was Dominic's first time ever at a baseball game and he was so excited! He loved all the loud noises, fans screaming and music playing. It was his first time eating cotton candy and at first he wasn't too keen on the texture, then spit it out until he tasted the sugar and then proceeded to pound the whole bucket. The night was very fun, and best of all the cardinals won!!

Another worry-some event

Round three: What happens when Dominic and Mommy's makeup mix....

He wants to be just like his mommy when he grows up....

Zip Line

We went to a barbaque for the Logan students put on by a nice family in the ward and they had an awesome zip line in their backyard that we went down. JJ took Dominic on it, but I lost the footage on my camara. This was the second time that we got on film, but the first time I let go too fast, dragged on the ground, and my pants almost came off. Dominic had a blast and couldn't get enough of it. We ate good barbaque and roasted marshmellows in a firepit in their backyard.

Lets get that perminant marker out and cross off Kentucky

Over the break we had a chance to go down to Kentucky and job shadow some chiropractors that JJ met at a seminar. JJ really hit it off with this one guy, and he told us that if we came down that we could stay in his six bedroom house. Yeah, this guy is not doing too bad out there in Kentucky also driving his Beemer and Escalade. We really didn't want to barge in on him with our two kids and all so we got a nice hotel in the city downtown of Louisville. Well let me tell you, first impression.....NOT A FAN! Two words...run. down. ! The next day we were meeting up with these chiropractors who were going to take us out to breakfast in a more "upscale" part of town. I don't know where the "upscale" was located, but I never saw a bit of that either. JJ really liked the way that this group of chiropractors did business, but I don't know that I'm a small town girl.... at least not that small and especially run down. Well at least we can cross off Kentucky on the list. One down...twenty billion to go!
