A "new-er me"

So, after reviewing the agenda for our PIP Convention in Ft. Lauderdale I discovered that we are going to be attending a "Beach Party" I reviewed the agenda then I reviewed my wardrobe and body. At first I thought, "I could stand to lose a few pounds".....then I turned around and checked out the rear view and wanted to DIE!!! ok, maybe not die....but defitnally cry. That is what lead to the new....er me. I have since started running, doing work outs with one of those big balls...it's so cute...and PINK! I am determined to get the body back that I had last year. I REFUSE to look bad in my bathing suit! Plus, with Jonathan being a body buillder, I have to look good enough to hang on his arm :-)


On another note, Ashlyn lost another tooth! Funny story about it is that for some reason the tooth fairy came and left her a $1.00 but....didn't take the tooth!! how crazy is that! Needless to say, I thought I heard wings when I was in the shower...it was the fairy getting the tooth that she forgot last night.

Jak is super excited about spring time!! Bon fires, catching bugs, playing outside till dark...all that good jazz! He is obsessed with worms?!?! every night he comes in with a new one...the last one, named Jak Jak, fell out of his hand and landed in a hole in the ground and has moved on to better times than being stuck in the pocket of a 4 year old. LOL

I don't remember if I mentioned in the last blog how much fun our property is!! We had the Kaelin family out a week or so ago, (Tony, Sue and the kidos) and had a blast! We were grilling out and just having fun and then Jonathan built a huge fire for us and the kids roasted marshmellows, played with flashlights and checked out the creek. It was getting late and they all started to get tired so we headed back up. Jak was asleep in my lap by the fire in no time. I think Rhett wore him out. The funniest thing is that Ashlyn wanted to play with the boys. Micah was not impressed! Ashlyn got tired of the boys and they did play barbies for a little bit I think. They are so cute together. I can't wait to do it again sometime. Next time I will have more notice from Jonathan and put a post out and all my "fans" can come too!!

So, theres the last few eventful things in a nutshell. We are working on landscaping for the next week or so....ugh, flowers, grass clippings and pollen are not good for my allergies!

Oh, and Jonathan is looking into buying a lawn care business that he has been working with a friend- complete with landscaping, trimmings, cutting and all that Jazz. If anyone knows or needs someone to take care of the lawn this season or while they are on vacation or their honeymoon ;-) just let me know. He has great prices and does great work.

muah!!!!
