Yoga.....Try it!

Last night, I tried Yoga for the very first time. As I entered the classroom, I was quite intimidated by all the very fit, young ladies and men. I entered the room with my 2 belly rolls and had at least 10 years on everyone. Although I did stumble quite a few times and had to get out of position a few times, I kept up quite well. I was really impressed with how my muscles burned, how stretched out I felt, the moments of intensity vs the moments of relaxation, and how energized I was at the end of the class. If you haven't tried yoga, I highly recommend it because it is a good workout!

No, I'm Not Pregnant!

Just mix cottage cheese and salsa together. It makes a great dip for tortilla chips. Do what? No, I'm not pregnant! I found this idea while I was looking at some low fat recipes. Of course, you will want to use low fat cottage cheese. I just used what I had on hand to just try it out.

And the Olympic Gold Medal Goes To.....

LAKYN for her climbing skills! Last night when we were watching gymnastics, Lakyn was sitting on the couch lifting her legs and pointing her toes. She loves for us to help her do flips. So, gymnastics might be importnant to her. I loved the idea of gymnastics when I was a little girl. I remember when Mary Lou Retton was taking the world by storm. I wanted to be just like her! I got close a few times....a few flips on the trampoline and a bob hairdo.

Hablo Espanol?

Jayce: "Moma, will my teacher speak English or Spanish?"

Me: "She will probably speak a little of both".

Jayce: "Well, that's ok because I speak Spanish....Alla a agusto (or something like that)".

Lakyn: "slkj sljeoilc goo goo bubba" (or something like that).

Jayce: "Oh, Lakyn speaks Spanish ALL the time.

Vacation Fun!

6 years old!

Jayce celebrated his birthday at the lake with all his family around.

Happy Birthday!

My baby boy is 6 years old today! It is hard to believe I was in the hospital in Texas waiting for his arrival this day 6 years ago! I am enjoying Jayce so much! It has been neat watching him grow these past 6 years and 9 months. He is so much more than I ever could have imagined, and I love him more than I thought possible. He is a very good boy. He is very social, so he tries to make friends with everyone. I call him a ladies' man because he is always trying to make us girls feel special. He tells me I'm beautiful, notices when I do little things to the house and gives his sister lots of love. His Daddy thinks he is the best! They love boats, the lake, and football. Lakyn thinks Jayce has hung the moon, too. She follows him everywhere he goes, tries to do everything he does, and just lights up when he enters a room. We are all very crazy about you, Jayce! Thank you for bringing so much joy to our lives!!! Happy 6th Birthday!
