A whirl win Summer

I can hardly believe that summer vacation is almost over! It doesn't seem like it's been 3 months but it
 is time for me to go back to work. Well in 1 more week...I totally will.  But until then I will try to fit in as much as I can about our summer and all of the fun we had as a family. So there will probably be a ton of fun pictures to upload and talk about....oh...I was able to go to Girls' Camp with my oldest daughter and a bunch of fun girls from our ward.. I'm pretty sure that will have to be posted on its own. (there are a lot of pictures)
We  did the Firecracker 5K this year...and I did it with my Aunt Brittany, and Ken. There was also another friend Natalie that did it too....but I don't know what I was thinking and I didn't get any pictures of that race...I know that Ken did. My time went up from last year. Last year my time was 33.11 this year it was 34:07. Oh Well...I'm really only competing with myself.  So next year that is my time to beat. 

 A couple days later we went to  the very famous Jefferson County (Rigby) Lake. We had the privilege of having Kylie's best friend, Erika, come with us as well as my little cousin,  Abram.  They had so much fun playing and building sand castles and just hanging out.




Sam kept begging for Ken to throw him into the water...and Ken did several times. The kid just loved it!

*fun side note about Abram and Sam, when we first got there while the rest of us were applying sun block these two yahoos took off to the slide and surely gave us a heart attack because we couldn't find them! Don't worry though we found them and told them that they had to have adult supervision when going on the slide . Neither of them could swim real well and there are NO lifeguards out there.
 Say Cheese!!


Selfie Mode!

She was done!

Then a couple of weeks later we went to Rexburg Rapids...if you've never been you should go! It's so much fun!!! If you are asking what it is...why my friend its a water park that has 2 slides, and a lazy river that you can float down and a deep end pool that you can rock climb and then jump into. The Yellow slide is the super fast slide and the blue slide is a slower one but still fast enough to scare the crap outta ya!


It was so much fun! We were able to go with the Dailey's!! Some friends of ours. We really had fun just swimming and eating and just playing. Here's a fun story about the slide..whenever I would go down one...I would hit the pool and my butt would sink me to a point that my feet would float up to the top and come out into 1st position...like a ballerina.  Ken and Kylie would watch for that and laugh up a storm. I'm glad that they thought it was so funny. When I would get tired of swallowing water I would float down the lazy river and try not to freeze in the breeze.  
I think that I will continue on tomorrow with Girls Camp!! 

So stay tuned!

Nutritional tips...okay maybe NOT but its just things that I do

 Request after request came in and so yes.....I will write a nutritional guide..if you wanna even call it that. So..............(<<<<those dots were pointed out to me in my last blog by the hubbs..so these dots are for you!) Did you know that no matter how HARD you train...no matter how long you spend with Shawn T, or any other trainer that you love....its only 20%.   yep, ya'll heard me ONLY 20%!!!!!!!!!! I know my jaw hit the floor too when I was told this number! Surely there must be some kind of mistake! Well after hours of banging my head against a wall(okay so I was down on the floor throwing a temper tantrum like a 3 year old, kicking and flailing my arms...) I came to accept that no matter how hard I worked out the reason I was not seeing ANY results during the first part of my fitness journey was because diet is 80%.  I know...it sucks....but it is totally true. Hmmm well how am I going to eat healthy?? Well to be quit honest I just remember introducing

It's the Holiday season!!!

T'was the week before Christmas when all through district #91 some choir teachers thought it would be amusing to have 2 concerts in 2 separate schools on the same night.  The parents not so much! How exactly was I suppose to show support to both daughters?!! We did what any normal parents would do in this situation...  We split up, JUST FOR THE CONCERTS!! Talk about divide and conquer baby!! It was great! Ken and Sam went to Leslie's concert...which was themed The Polar Express. And it was cute. Ken was able to get a couple of cute pictures and a video. When I watched it when we met back home...I couldn't help it...I started to cry because I don't want to miss these precious moments of her life. I don't want her to look out into the audience of anything she performs in and be that one parent who doesn't show, I can't handle that look of disappointment in my children's faces.  So that left me...and my mom to go to Kylie's concert.

I almost surrendered

It has been a really long time since I have blogged last and I know that I said I was going to blog about Girls Camp..but I will eventually get to that..but these last 2 weeks have been so hard. Like harder than normal...I felt myself wanting to give in and give up to the pain in my heart.  I thought that this latest trial would break me...I feel as though I have noghting left to give. What am I suppose to learn from this that I haven't already learned from the last one. Well...I'll start from the beginning to get you guys caught up. I am a substitute teacher and I was subbing for my son's class for about 3 weeks because his teacher had to have surgery and she was out for a while. So I'm subbing for this teacher who is great and I sometimes wonder if I'm even qualified to fill her shoes cuz guys teaching is H.A.R.D!!! And I've known most of these kids for a while...I subbed last year for and so for the most part I'm pretty comfortable with the kids...
