I done gone and lost my mind.

In a moment of Brazilian Sugar Cane Liquor haze, I agreed to what just might be the most hilarious endeavor of my life. Now you have to remember that up until about a year and a half ago, the number of times I had been in a gym could be counted on my fingers and toes. Now add that to the fact that I love to eat, then multiply that by my medal-worthy ability to lounge around the house and you will get a great big laugh out of my commitment to compete in a FITNESS COMPETITION! My friend Amber has appealed to my idealistic side (which is the side of my brain that tells me I can look like Angelina Jolie but better, ha!) and so yesterday I hit the gym for a weight lifting session with Amber, Brett, Matthew, and Jed. I said if you have 5 people it counts as an exercise class, so my classmates and I proceeded to push and pull around heavy weights targeting only two muscle groups for an hour and a half. Not the most productive thing I have done lately. But, I am convinced that over the next 6-8 months I just might make my goal to look like this:



I gotta go, it's time to get to the gym to work on the glutes! (I kind of want to be her and kill her simultaneously! You know you do to)

Fun Old Fashion Family Vacation






This past weekend we took a trip to Lake Arrowhead and rented an adorable cabin with some friends and family. Wyatt had a blast and as you can tell he enjoyed his time running wild "Pooh Bear" style (just shirt, no pants, you remember the cartoon). It was totally relaxing and we got to go into the water on the "beach". Jed fought me on the terminology saying it couldn't be a beach without an ocean to which I replied, "but it has sand!" Whatever you want to call it it was a blast. We will do it again soon, put your name in if you
want to come.

Free SH*T!!


How, you ask can my little boy get toys for free from Target? By being an adorable round mound of rebound that's how. He saw a girl at Target re-stocking toys and he got so excited when he saw her carrying this ball that he began to shout with glee "Ba. Ba. Ba." She thought he was so cute she let him keep it. Onward to Nordstrom to see if Baby can get Mommy some new "Sho"!!!

Silly Rabbit Showers are for Kids....


Wyatt has learned the joy of showering. Here he is during his first stint in the shower alone. You can see his friends there with him Mr. Whisk and Mrs. Hair Dye Bottle. It's the little pleasures in life (now smile and sigh).

Here we go....

I thought I would try my hand at this. Although I must say I am little scared about opening my life up to the world wide web. "You mean anyone can read this?" is the thought that keeps running through my head. But, to hell with it. I like to write, and I need to post pictures of my baby so everyone who is so far away can see him daily.

I will hopefully give you a humorous glimpse into my life with my hilarious, independent, and gigantic 1 year old boy, 2 crazy dogs who individually almost out weigh me, and my loving husband who has physique of a gladiator and the heart of a teddy bear. Welcome to my world.
