Oh the pain!!!

Chailyn fell at the gym the other day and hurt her ankle. By the way she was crying I thought for sure we needed to take her to the doctor. Brian said to bring her home first and see how she is doing a little later in the evening. So I did. She cried quite a bit and she kept an ice pack on it. While she was laying on the couch she kept saying "Oh the pain!!!" then she looked at me and said "that means it really hurts Mom." What do you say to that. I laughed- she just cracks me up. So much fun stuff.

Jacilyn has her first piano recital coming up next week. How exiting is that?? She thinks that if she plays the song one time that counts as practicing. I haven't been too strict with her practicing but playing a song once doesn't count as practice. My mom made me practice for a half an hour. She thinks she worked hard if she plays the song three times. My silly girl. :)

Brooklyn has a few favorite words, No, Mine and Juice- she does say please but sometimes it can be a little forced. She is so sticken cute.

Soccer Mom- who me??

I have never played soccer but thought that it would be fun to coach Chailyn's soccer team. Of course they asked for volunteers so I talked my neighbor into doing it with me. We have 2,3,4 & 5 year olds on our team. Quite the age gap but they are sooo funny. Games are a riot. They run around and kick the ball & then come over to sit down because they are tired. And once half time hits they just want the treat or drink & done with soccer. They are getting better each week and they are having fun. Which is the most important. I love my girls- they are the best. Here is a picture of my cute soccer player Chailyn.

Lemonaid stand- minus the lemonaid

Jacilyn had her friend Brianna over yesterday & they, along with Chailyn wanted to sell lemonaid. I said fine go ahead. Since we didn't have lemonaid or cups to put it in they decided to be resourceful & sell pretzels and popcorn. Well, since no one came to them they decided to start knocking on the neighbors doors. They are soooo funny. Jacilyn just said well no one was coming so we went & found them instead. :)
I hear Brianna saying to Jacilyn- do we really have to give the money for the house fund. I started laughing because the other day we went & looked at a home & it was a little out of our price range. The girls loved & offered to give us all their money so they can have this house that they want. We tried to explain that it still wouldn't be enough but that they needed to keep their money for something special they would like for themselves. Jacilyn also said "I will sell lemonaid & give you 1/2 of the profits." Soooo cute. But so funny. I love my silly girls.

Would you rather???

So my kids have found this really interesting game they love to play when we are in the car. It is called "would you rather". Basically they ask "Would you rather do this or that- neither of which would be good" So today Chailyn asks me "Would you rather be a pink monkey or be naked?" So I said naked. And she said "really?" I said "yes is that a problem, I have a cute body right?" And she said "No, it is kind of weird." I guess it could be worse. When I was pregnant with Brooklyn Chailyn came with me to try on maternity clothes and when I was changing she said "Mom you need some clothes on, no one wants to see that."
Another time when I was pregnant with Brooklyn, Jacilyn came in & asked me how would I ever loose all that weight. Nice huh?

Nothing like kids to build up your self confidence. :)

My Summer Goal

I decided I had better post my goal with health & fitness so that I have one more reason to do it. Before the holidays I was really lean and my abs actually had some definition. Then I got lazy & started eating way too many treats and not working out as often. So I told Brian that I was going to get back on a THF (Total Health & Fitness)http://www.thfonline.com/ program. I asked one of our consultants- Scott Bailey to put me on a program. He does such an incredible job. All of our consultants are amazing. Last year I saw Ashlei & she is awesome. This time I wanted a guy to do my program and it couldn't be Brian because I wouldn't listen to him anyway. LOL!! I don't want to loose weight at all just fat. Right now I am 27% body fat & 105 lbs & I want to stay about the same weight but be back down to about 23% or lower for my ab definition. So after I am done I will post my results. Here is to eating healthy, exercising right & living well. :)

Visit to the Zoo- then camera dies

So my mom came & stayed with us for a couple days & we decided to go to the Zoo. Brians mom & my mom joined us and we had a great time. It was so crowded. Being the first nice day & a Friday at that we had to wait in line for a good 1/2 hour just to get in. But once in it didn't seem so crowded. I didn't to take many pictures because my camera died- stupid batteries. :)

Brian kept complaining about no pictures of him on here so here you go- Love you Brian. :)

So yesterday Brooklyn decided to get my big pot out & she hopped in it. I couldn't help but laugh & get the camera out. The girls got a kick out of it too & wanted to be in the picture. :)
