its finally here......

the summer is here and we can play!Finally - its been super nice out - not to hot and the kids LOVE it. I took the kids to Target yesterday and we bought a pool and a slip and slide. They had so much fun. Here are some pics of them relaxing after eating a popsicle!

Dean is at youth conference this weekend - so the kids and i played all day at a friends house. They played out side all morning - then we let the babies nap and then we bbq tonight I'm soooooooooo tired. I'm going to go watch Fools Gold - chick flick that i know dean will never watch. So I decided I'd be tough and up my weights at body pump on Wednsday and i seriously CANNOT move - never been so sore in my life. I think i'll take it back down a notch again - i'm just not tough! Trying to keep up with Bobbie and Steph just isn't going to happen. I am happy to report i've lost 27lbs to date. I still can't beleive it - not alot of excercise either - just body pump 2x a week. Just totally cutting portions and kinda following weight watchers point system. Its working for me.

Scrapped a little last night and made a huge mess on my desk - not sure that i will be able to find the bottom of this one - BIG MESS> But that layout turned out okay. That blue color again - seriously LOVE IT. Used a huge mixture of product on this one. Hambly, American Crafts, Heidi Swapp, Basic Grey, Making Memories and My Minds Eye. Did some hand stitching - lots of fun.

trying something different with picture placement so i'm not hogging so much room on one post - but as you can tell I can't figure it out!! So back to the old way next time.
