Pictures of the Family!

Here is our little family on the first day!

Noah, Isaac and Luke having fun with Pooh's honey!

Noah and Isaac

Noah loved swimming when we were in St. George! He is my little fish....


Noah love the Tarzan Tree House, he walked through it a couple of times while we were at Disneyland!


With his wings and his goggles Isaac can swim anywhere!

Luke

Lukey was able to ride a couple of the rides and had a blast. He slept really well in the stroller and was an angel the whole trip! We love our Lukey!


I always thought the leashes were kind of mean but we brought one along. Luke loved to walk around and I loved not having to worry about where he was!


Luke loved getting wet at the fountains at Bugs Life!


He finally got into the pool and then loved swimming!!

Home again.....

We got back late last night from our little trip to California! I miss the sunshine already....... Our house was still here and in one piece. I have sucessfully unpacked and finished the laundry so I can now relax! We had a great time on our trip! The kids had so much fun at Disneyland and in St. George. The weather was perfect and the Pace family proved to be quite good company! The only thing we forgot was my Mom! She would have had a great time and since we were out numbered by the children we could have used an extra hand too!! Sorry Mom, we will remember you next time! We spent 4 long days at Disneyland and although Adam seems to think he could have done another day I am not sure I could have endured another day at that magical place.... The beach was so pretty but a little cold for me and the kids. St. George was perfect although I got a major sunburn sitting by the pool! It was a perfect 8 days (minus about 23 hours total time in the car and a couple of hours wasted dealing with children melting down...) I have a ton of pictures to post....those should be coming shortly!!

Disneyland, here we come........

It is almost time for us to go to Disneyland! We are all getting excited. With Jason working at home and trying to get ready I won't be posting for a while but I will have lots of pics to post when we get back!!


Noah and Isaac are so excited............

Anyone need a good workout DVD?

Ok, so since Jason is now home for the month of April I thought back to February when he was home. I was used to using the treadmill and then he was home and taking over the office so instead of doing something else I just did nothing. Well, I decided to be proactive this month and try a few workout DVD's. I hopped in my car and drove over to the nearest Library to see what they had. Here is a rundown of the DVD's I checked out and a few I have at home. This may or may not ever help you, you may or may not think I am a total spaz, however, someday I will be toned and sculpted and you will not have to wonder how I did it.....

Lotte Burke Method: Muscle Eats Fat: I thought this one was going to be pretty stupid. You never know what you get at the library, their selection is slim and really old. However, I was pleasantly suprised about this one. It was not a cardio workout, I didn't sweat at all doing it but I could feel my muscles working and I am a little sore today! I think I will continue to use this one! You need light hand weights and a chair, that is all! It is about 45 minutes.

The Ultimate New York Body Plan: Just Two Weeks to a Total Transformation by David Kirsch: This one was a good workout, I did sweat and felt like I was working hard. This guy is totally stuck on himself however so if you can get past it and just do the workout it is ok. You do need an exercise ball, hand weights and a medicine ball (I used a 5 lb weight instead). It is 45 minutes.

Kathy Smith Matrix Method Ultimate Sculpt: This is a great workout, you will feel it for 2 days. I actually own this one. You need hand weights and that is it. This one is guarenteed to make you sweat and breath hard! It is about 45 minutes.

Crunch Burn and Firm Pilates: I actually liked this one too. You need light hand weights. I thought it was a good workout. I didn't totally sweat but she works your legs and butt! It is about 45 minutes.

The Biggest Loser Workout: Cardio Max: I LOVED this workout! I did week 5-6. There is 3 different workouts you can do all of them or 2 of them or whatever. Week 5-6 is all 3. This workout made me sweat, and I felt like I was working hard! You need hand weights. It is about 50 minutes for week 5-6, 40 minutes for weeks 3-4 and 30 minutes for weeks 1-2.

The Biggest Loser Workout: Power Sculpt: I was sore for a couple of days after this one. I didn't love it for some reason but it was a good workout. You need hand weights and the times are the same as the above workout.

The Firm Cardio Sculpt: I liked this workout, it made me sweat. You need a step and hand weights. If you have never taken a step class at the gym the foot work could be confusing. Other than that I liked the workout! It is about 55 minutes.

Ok so there is the rundown on the DVD's I have done in the last couple of weeks. As I do new ones I will let you know. I do think I am going to buy the Biggest Loser cardio one but other than that I am still trying out new ones!!

Sunday Fun!

Ok, so today I decided to make some bread for dinner so I did and then the boys wanted cinnamon rolls so I decided, OK, I can do that! I start making Kae's recipe and get to the part where it says 8 eggs and I think, 8 eggs, that seems like a lot of eggs and then I realize that I usually 1/2 the recipe but forgot to today so 15 cups of flour later I have some, ok a lot of cinnamon rolls.....


This is the kind of kitchen mess I dread cleaning up....10:10 pm and a floor mop later we are finally clean!

Nice shirt huh?

Look at all this dough. I am a total spaz, I admit it! You now know why we frequent the nearest fast food restaurants all too often!

Ok, well this story does end well, the cinnamon rolls did turn out and even though I am now out of flour and powdered sugar, butter and eggs and I had to mop the floor on Sunday, they were worth it!! Oh, yeah and we will be eating them for the next 2 weeks! haa haa
