hot yoga aka sweat!

2011-01-26T17:00:00.000-08:00

well my cutest friend ever Laurie decided that I needed a bit of hot yoga in my life!!!! so I thought I will go. could be fun!.... FUN ha ha ha ha ha yeah fun is the wrong word for this!! a few fun facts about hot yoga

1:the room is 104-109 degrees (the entire work out)
2:you will sweat more than when birthing a child
3:its a detox
4:it works every muscle you have (my ear lobes are sore)
5:its 90 min long 90min!!
6:no talking in class
7:okay these are starting to turn into comments rather than fact.

so needless to say I am extremely out of shape. It was very hard and challenging an in a weird way very relaxing and calming! although during the entire class I wanted to tell that skinny long haired speedo wearing instructor to turn down that freakin heat! when it was over I wanted to kiss him! (okay lets say hug def not my type more Laurie's) but I felt great relaxed and worked out! refreshed,calm. a weird feeling but seriously this was something I never have experienced it was a great work out and after all of that I will be going 3 times a week tomorrow will be my second day and I am excited!! so wish me luck! if you get a chance try it!! best work out!

P.s as I mentioned the sweating thing seriously you wouldn't believe me if i told you I and everyone else in that class looked like we just got out of the shower before you dry off!!!

(i went on a date there bowchickawowo) so we were in for a treat!! and it was such a blast seriously ladd had so much fun and was all smiles! of course they had a little section of water games and that is where he spent most of his time! and made for a very cold walk to the car he was soaked even to his socks! He learned to go grocery shopping, feed the fake chickens, he road a life size horse! if you have not been you have to go! it was a blast!!! and the best part he fell asleep the second the car started moving! pooped.

cruisn'

2010-12-13T14:09:00.001-08:00

Well most of you know we went on a cruise compliments of pinnacle security! and boy was it a blast!
A; bc we went with the whole PA crew
B: bc we got to be on vacation somewhere warm and sunny
c: my besets friend preston got to go!
D; bc we got to eat food! it may not have been all that good but we got to eat!
and lastly bc we met the most fabulous peeps ever! the michels! and i think we speak for everyone when we say the are the funnest most amazing couple ever! what great friends and i am so glad we got to meet them and for the friendship we have now!

We had a blast! seriously what a fun cruise! weirdly enough the cruise itself was a little lame not much to do everything closed early and like i said the food was not the best! but we still has so much fun hanging with all the old crew minus the ellsworths! they had to have a baby or something like that isomer important! but we also got to had new peeps to the crew which was also fun! it was fun to get together outside of work and let loose! we went to cozemel and haunduras! castle was so fun loved the shopping and the water was amazing but i was not impressed with haunduras! it was very poor and lots of drugs and sex! just was a little uncomfortable! but we made the time fun and couldn't ask for better cruisers! love you guys!

more of the house

2010-12-13T13:51:00.000-08:00

i just found these these were all taken the day we moved our stuff in! We all know that my sexy Matty is not very interested in hands on and doing this your self hens the reason my brothers have high paid jobs from laundry back rubs mowing the lawn moving furniture etc. ha ha so Matt went down to the home depot to pick up dome workers! i am so serious you laugh but i am not kidding! he picked up 2 old guys from Mexico and they did an amazing job! it was quick and we had it all moved and done in a few hours!! but here is some more pics!

2010-12-09T13:39:00.000-08:00

now to some good news

2010-12-09T13:25:00.000-08:00

okay so now that we got the sad news out of the way lets go with the big announcement!!!!!!!

WE BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE!!!!!

that's right finally are out of my so kind patient parents house! weirdly enough it was sad moving out... but not sad enough to stay! we bought a new house in draper Utah and its amazing its in a small gated community with an amazing view and where there is a lot of snow ha ha! but we love it! it was crazy how it all happened we had no intentions of buying a house and Matt shut me down every time i looked! but i still looked just for fun! well he finally agreed to go look at this beautiful house in harriman and we did we liked it a lot but were nervous about the location and the room sizes! so we decided to just keep looking and eventually we would find what we really loved! so i kept looking Matt kept saying no! until i found this amazing house and on the Realtor website they had a slide show of pictures of the house and we seriously were in a trans watching it it was beautiful so Matt agreed to go check it out and i have never felt the way i did when we did a walk through it was amazing perfect and exactly what we were looking for! so about 3 weeks later we were done and signed and we got to move in! i seriously could not ask for a more perfect house! we love it and are excited to grow here!

its about time!!

2010-12-09T13:07:00.000-08:00

wow i have never in my life been so busy! and so much change and things going on! i am excited to finally be filling you in! lets start with the bad news so we can get it out of the way! on thanks giving we received a phone call that my grandma Betty my dads mom was very sick and probably would not make it through the day!! well she did she pulled through till Sunday night and finally after 34 years of being with out my grandpa Orville she finally was able to see him! this is such a bittersweet time for us! we are so happy that she is able to be reunited with our heavenly father and her 2 amazing husbands and my cousin krissa! but leaves us sad and hurt here on earth! but we will all be alright it was a great funeral and she has so many loved ones that are with her and miss her! we love you grandma!

Hershey Park round II

2010-08-19T08:22:00.000-07:00

Amusement parks rock my world! seriously i love them i love roller coasters and water slides and anything that gives your that scared excited butterflied going to scream or pee your pants feeling...(aka Adrenalin rush) yeah i love it! and for the most park i can get my non risk taking non new things cute husband to enjoy going as well! well out here they have a pretty big amusement park similar to six flags! so my being the brain stormer i am decided how am i going to make this happen with having a two year old!! well whats a grandmas favorite job ever??? oh yeah watching the cutest grand baby ever! ha ha well since my parentals were coming out for a visit with my brothers i thought well perfect opportunity to go my parents are not roller coaster goers and of course when brought up the idea my mom jumped all over watching my Lou Lou so we went! and of course it was such a blast! they have some pretty crazy roller coasters and the boys of course had to spend a million dollars playing basketball and winning mini balls! but we had so much fun! and it was even more fun BC Bridger actually went on all the roller coasters and loved them he couldn't get enough so he made for a great partner! sadly enough i did not bring my camera! i just didn't want to carry it around or have to worry about it! so i have no pictures of our crazy adventurous day but as for round 2.....

SO BC the boys are so amazing at there job they won a free day at Hershey park on the company! and so we all got to go as a office soooooo fun! and since round one we skipped over the water park section bc we had to much to do. this time since we had Lady we hit up the water park! and it was just as fun! I was so impressed with Matt he didn't even run off with his friends he wanted to hang with ladd and i he even went down the baby water slide! ( didn't get a snap bummer i know) but we had so much fun and ladd was all smiles all day and was having the time of his life we could hardly keep up! and by far had the most fun in the wave pool! priceless!

have a laugh:)

2010-08-18T09:12:00.001-07:00

Lately ladd has been saying the cutest funniest things ever! And so I bought a small book to keep in my purse to write them all down! So after today's episode I decided I am going to share them on my blog so you can get a laugh too! So I took laddy for a walk to the gas station at the end of the street to get some treats for him! When we came back we did the usual routine I let him out of the jogger and he goes up the flight of stairs and waits by the door while I pick up the jogger and run up the stairs! Well today while sweating carrying the juice and bag my phone and the stroller when I got to the top Ladd started running and going up to the next level!

Me: laddy no this is our door ahhhhh I hear manny!(manny was on)

Ladd: deviant smile

Me: okay bye bye Ladd I am going to see manny with out you! (thinking gets them every time)

Ladd: waves and says bye bye mama I miss you and heads up the stairs!

Me: trying to be mad but can't stop laughing! Go and get him!

Seriously he his such a ham! Love him!

One of the cutest wives in the world is out here with me in PA her name is Katie she is such a great friend and we clicked really well right off the bat! I know I am always dishing about the wives out here but really we have such a great bunch. I feel so blessed to have a friend like Katie! she is a amazing mom of 2 and is so cute! we have had a fun summer! a few weeks ago all the wives got together for a birthday lunch for Katie since the guys work every second and her hubs was working! so her cute sister Jenna threw a little get together and lunch! and mmmm was the food yummy!(Jenna is a fab cook check out here cooking blog on my page!) but we had fun getting together and....partying like Rock stars!

baby's got his blue jeans on

2010-08-16T11:03:00.000-07:00

YES I had to buy the jean diapers I seriously couldn't resist and of course they were even cuter on laddy! ha ha I laughed so hard when I put them on him! and I couldn't resist but to let him walk around with just a diaper on! I defiantly think ladd should have been the one who did the commercial... just saying:)

daddy's

2010-08-02T12:10:00.000-07:00

today i was going through pictures on my comp i was looking at my niece and how cute she was and i got into thinking about my brother Luke! Luke (who i call manning FYI is case you get confused) is my older brother and he got married almost 2 years ago to a great sexy mama Jamie! and about a year ago had an amazingly beautiful little girl! manning is one of the most special dads i know i knew from the moment he held my laddy that he was going to be one of the most amazing dads in the world and boy was i right! manning is such a great dad and uncle for that matter! and shaylee is going to be such a proud daughter when she grows up to know she has such a wonderful dad! who is the most loving and caring guy! manning really wanted a boy when they found out they were expecting and when they found out it was a girl i was anxious to see his reaction and it was just as i though he was already in love! and she has him wrapped around her little finger already!i am so grateful to have manning as a brother and so glad ladd gets to have him as a uncle! uncle manning loved to hold and play with ladd every chance he got when we were all together which isn't always the norm for guys! and would babysit in a heart beat if i needed him and i loved to watch him with ladd and knew it wouldn't take long for him to start his own family! he is so cute with shaylee and helps Jamie so much! I just really want Luke to know how proud i am of him and how great of a dad i think he is and that i love him! love you manning

p.s this is the picture that started this cry fest and post!! ha ha wow i know but manning was watching shaylee this day Jamie was working and manning got her all ready and dressed and i was so proud cutest ever:) he even picked it all out!! (the first pic in the pink)

abby girl

2010-07-26T12:21:00.000-07:00

4th of july

2010-07-26T11:47:00.000-07:00

This is extremely late yes i know ha but hey at least i am getting to it before Christmas!! our Fourth was very fun bc it was on a Sunday and usually the guys work full days on the 4Th! so on the 3rd Marietta did the best fire works i have ever seen and they were an hour long it was fun! ladd was a little scared and so towards the end we decided to take him in but we could still see them off our deck! I of course forgot my camera while all the office boys were lighting of there own little fire work show but it was really fun to see them all act like they were so we 10 again! so fun so bc on the 3rd the boys got home at 7 we decided to do a office BBQ and get everyone together on the 4Th and spend a whole day bbqing and at the park we had a lot of fun! the wifeys hung and watched there man act like they were back in high school playing baseball! so fun to watch and so glad i had my camera!

2010-07-26T11:44:00.000-07:00

park fun

2010-07-26T11:35:00.000-07:00

one of the many reasons i enjoy the area we live is bc at our apartments there are 2 cute parks and both within walking distance woohoo so ladd loves it he has a bast at the park! and it was so fun when bridger was staying with us bc laddy had a buddy to pay with!

2010-07-26T11:33:00.000-07:00

pool time

2010-07-26T08:52:00.000-07:00

seriously no one loves the pool like ladd ha ha he is obsessed and i cant believe him in the pool he is not scared of anything. nothing! and every one comments they are like how old is he? wow he swims so well and is not scared of the water he jumps in and goes under water and is just a fish! and i am so happy he is not bc Matt is not a water person he never learned to swim and hates the water now but not ladd!! or me for that matter ha ha and that's about all i do for fun! we usually are only out for about an hour bc it seriously is so hot i feel like i will bake from the inside out! but its fun! we usually go with Kara which makes it that much better! plus she is expecting and so her and ladd can enjoy snack time:)since us girls like to lay out ladd decided he would give it a shot he is seriously such a ham! so funny love him so much!

So like i had mentioned in a previous post I am selling some things at a farmers market? well a few weeks ago as i was driving around with my parents there was a house with garbage on the front curb okay you know where this is going there was 3 very very ugly disgusting chairs that i wanted.... yes i wanted them why BC i wanted a project i wanted to make them over! it was hard and yes i needed gloves for the smoke dirt infested pads but i tackled them on Monday and they are done and ready to be sold for top dollar ha ha okay well hopefully i can sale them:) but i must say they turned out really cute and i am very proud! and on that note i am so grateful i came from the craftiest most amazing dad in the world bc i learned it all from him! ( yes i miss my family cant you tell) love you dad!

here is the before and afters p.s the pics don't do the good or bad Justice ha ha!

so its so crazy how much laddy knows he is so smart and followes everything we do which is good and bad! ha ha buts it helps me be a good example and to teach him the righ things and the best person to teach him the ways of sports none other than daddy!!!!:) so ladd yells "fooball" and "baskball" so cute he loves to play with any ball he can get his hands on and that is why his toy box is over flowing with balls!! although his favorite is the "buzzzz" and "wooey" ball his favorite thing is to play with the big boys! and its so fun to watch and it was so fun to get him playing with uncle austin!! we love uncle austin:)

for 1 i love love Marietta and one of the funnest things about it is all the local markets and farmers markets! its so fun and i love supporting our local farmers and things are so fresh and nice! so its been really fun going down to all these markets and shopping and getting fresh fruits and veggies! another cool thing is they sale really cute stuff not just food! the Amish have had crafted things and clothes and lots of the locals set up Boothe's and sale there stuff! well all summer me and Kara another so cute wife have been little craft women and just been having fun so when Kara approached me with the idea to sale our stuff at the farmers market every Saturday i was all over it! so i have been busy busy making things to sale and having a blast doing it! last Saturday was our first day and of course it rained all day so we have a little more time to get all of the odds and ends done! ( i will take pictures of our finished products!!) so i will keep you posted on how it goes!

2010-05-22T16:54:00.000-07:00

Well if you remember last Summer i mentioned ladd was obsessed with water?? yeah so in the hotel they have a pool so I went to target to get some arm floatys to see if he is as keen of water as he was last summer!! well as i suspected he is worse he thinks he is Michael Phelps he thinks he doesn't need floatys or anything ha ha he loves to go under the water and swim around so i a on the search for swim lessons in Harrisburg OH anyone anyone???....:)

P.S after his bath i set him on the bed to find him some clothes and when i turned around!! yeah this olympic swimmer was out like trout!

well while stuck in the rain i felt bad for ladd so while there was a slight little break in the store I took ladd in his pjs and shoes and let hin run and get wet and jump in the rain! he loved it and i had so much fun watching him! the funnest part was bath time afterwards!! ha ha do it i sure love him!!

2010-03-01T12:38:00.000-08:00

We are home*** lame like a board game.
on a GOOD note we had so much fun!! wow it was beautiful and such good weather! this was Matt and I's first cruise so we had no idea what to expect but it was so fun!! i definitely gained a good 400 pounds on the trip! we always had 2 soft served ice cream cones in our hand the entire trip!! ha ha that's no joke! Matt gets motion sickness and believe it or not he didn't get sick one time i was so grateful! well we made some great friends while on the cruise THE AMAZING RINDLISBACHERS! we love them seriously its so hard to find real and genuine friends these days and they are most defiantly them! we had so much fun laughing and chatting and most importantly eating!! even though beautiful Janae warm enough to strip down! Matt and i went to the shops and looked in margarita ville it was fun! Matt was so worried about getting back on the boat in time than we went back to the ship oh 21 hours early ha ha! but that was fun! the next stop was half moon cay and sadly enough we had to skip that stop due to weather the weather was so bad the had to just keep going! that day was a little rocky and a bummer BC i really didn't want another sea day i was ready for a change of scenery but that alright! there was shows and a club and dancing and so much to do on the ship you really couldn't get board! Matt and i decided to get messages so that was a lot of fun! the last stop was the Bahamas woohoo it was so hot and the water was so blue it was crazy Steve and janae and Matt and i decided to rent scooters and Cruz around the island so that's what we did it was great fun. you drive on the wrong side of the road and cars almost kill you ha ha but it was still fun! Matt refused to eat of the boat but don't worry i talked him into getting a smoothie ha it was just such a great vacation it was well needed and fun we made some great friends as well! i was missing ladd like crazy so i am so so happy to be home and with him he was so excited to see us! it was a blast cant wait for the next adventure!
